There was no such love on display from Trump’s GOP rival Jeb Bush who called the real estate mogul a “chaos candidate who would be a chaos president” during the CNN debate in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday night.
Republican front-runner Donald Trump has stood firm over his provocative call for banning Muslims from the United States as his party’s presidential candidates pushed their own plans for fighting Islamic State (IS) militants.

“That’s easy to say”, Rubio said Wednesday morning.

Trump has been under fire for proposing that Muslims be blocked from entering the USA, among many other controversial comments.
“I went in there saying, ‘Boy, this is going to be a tough evening, ‘ ’cause I heard all of them were going to come at me”, Trump told his supporters. “I think Jeb is a very nice person, a very nice person, but we need toughness”.
Paul and Christie clashed over foreign policy during the debate with Paul insisting that Christie would be great for voters who “want World War III”.

Donald was with “Extra” after the debate saying he has no hard feelings.

“Lately I’ve been just trying to ignore, because he just gets me so angry”. The CNN debate was a showcase for not ready for primetime candidates in the Republican Party. Richard Burr (R-NC) said, “I’m having my staff look at the transcripts of the debate right now”.
