It’s one thing for Republican voters to fall in love (ugh) with the former reality TV star over the summer back when he announced his candidacy, but this is getting scary!
Graham took the podium after Cruz and said that his position on abortion – no exceptions for rape or incest – would turn off the women voters the Republicans need to win. Making an attempt to show a command of foreign coverage, he rattled off a bunch of events from Israel’s historical past. And I think at some point it just loses credibility when it actually is breaking news.
“You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money”, he told the audience. “You’ll like me very much, believe me”.
Mr Trump leads the group seeking the Republican nomination for the November 2016 presidential election. He said he planned to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a trip to Israel “sometime after Christmas, probably”.
“I’m gonna get people jobs and I’m going to protect people”, he said. “Good”, Trump said, noting he too was once a prolific donor.

Republican primary turnout wasn’t robust in 2008 or 2012. He questioned for the first time both sides’ commitment to peace, adding that he would know within six months of being elected president whether he could broker an elusive peace accord. Trump said it might be an example of “radical Islamic terrorism” the president won’t yet acknowledge.
O’Reilly shot back that still did not amount to “thousands”. “I’ve won and my life has been about winning and that’s what I want to do for the country”.
For decades, a cornerstone of Republican foreign policy has been unyielding support for Israel.
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly confronted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump during an interview that aired Thursday evening.
