Committee won’t investigate Cruz debate comments
Yet for the first 20 minutes, the front-runner seemed barely to be there, not hitting anyone who didn’t hit him first.

While Cruz has defended that course on multiple occasions in the Senate and in interviews, on Thursday he said he was simply calling his opponents’ bluff. Rubio has tried to distance himself from the “Gang of Eight”, bill – in which he was one of eight bipartisan negotiators – but took repeated heat Tuesday night from Cruz and Sen.
Republicans shouldn’t worry about their 2016 presidential candidates: Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said he is confident a single candidate will rise to the nomination for president come spring. It wasn’t Trump’s night, but it didn’t need to be.
Cruz and Rubio have essentially doubled their support in the poll in the past two months, from 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively.
Democrats have their own divisions on foreign policy, though they have been more muted given the relative tameness of the party’s presidential primary. Later, in response to a question about interventions overseas, he said he was just sick about all that money going to the military when it could have been spent rebuilding America’s infrastructure.
“You know, I don’t care if a guy like Jeb Bush never endorses me”, Trump said.
“You’re moving over further and further”, Trump continued. What are you going to do it with?
“We received lots of questions following Donald Trump’s most recent unhinged proposal so our campaign did due diligence looking into the rules surrounding the pledge”, said a senior Bush aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Nonetheless, with the exception of Sen.
One of the most striking contrasts between the senators centered on how aggressive the USA should be in seeking to topple Middle East dictators, some of whom have been bulwarks against Islamic extremists.
“I promise you the next time there is an attack on this country, the first thing people are going to want to know is why didn’t we know about it and why didn’t we stop it, and the answer had better not be because we didn’t have access to records or information that would have allowed us to identify these killers before they attacked”, he said during the debate. “But later on, they love me”. Cruz only slightly dialed back an earlier remark that the US should “carpet-bomb ISIS into oblivion” and find out whether “sand can glow in the dark”.
Jason DeSanto, senior lecturer at Northwestern School of Law and political communications specialist, joins “Chicago Tonight” to share his take on last night’s heated discourse. Time will tell if ratings for that event will be, as Trump would say, “yuuge”.
According to the poll, nine per cent thought Chris Christie, while Ben Carson and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina were tied for fifth place with five per cent each.
If there was a takeaway from the evening, it was that all the tsk-tsking about Trump’s insults and bombast has backfired.

Since August of this year the media has tried to accommodate an unprecedented large field of Republican candidates out of fairness while trying to make the debates manageable.
