Donald Trump to spend millions on presidential ads
Here is a look back at Trump’s most memorable moments of 2015.

“He hasn’t spent $40 million”.
In one respect, he has won all five of the presidential debates, because his presence has attracted massive viewership. That’s about to change, he said, with plans to “spend big” in Iowa, New Hampshire and SC.
Over the past week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) sniped at Sen.
Few in Republican Party politics believed when Trump launched his improbable White House bid in June that he’d still be a factor – much less the factor – at the end of the year.
Ben Carson. The celebrated surgeon moved to Florida after retiring from medicine and he had a roller coaster year as he sought the Republican presidential nomination.
That’s odd. What could Democrats possibly see in a lifelong true conservative like Donald Trump? Polls show Republican voters still see Carson very favorably but he is losing ground as Ted Cruz and Rubio have leapfrogged him.
The most recent Reuters/Ipsos 5-day rolling survey showed Trump outpacing the field of likely Republican voters nationally by 39 per cent, compared to Cruz at nearly 14 per cent. In fact, Carson’s numbers have been on the decline since the Islamic jihadist terror attacks in Paris back in November. If you’re a Trump critic, here’s further proof that he’s the RINO of RINOs, a man who’s blended nationalism, center-left economics, and Jacksonian foreign policy into something that tastes better to members of the other party than it does to conservatives. If you’re curious about his weak support in Arkansas, that’s because all of Mike Huckabee’s supporters live there. “I like him personally”, Hatch said. But things are far different this time out. Maybe continuing to attack the “Washington cartel” without emphasizing too heavily how right-wing you are is enough. Huckabee’s social conservatism and populist take on economics and pushes against Washington simply aren’t connecting this time as other candidates have beat him to the punch.
“It would be a mistake to assume that this is some pulling out of Iowa”, said Dave Kochel, Bush’s top strategist and a longtime Iowa hand.
“Trump is exciting a lot of people, and a lot of people are interested in participating in the Republican Party”, Stewart said. New Hampshire’s primary comes next, on February 9. Because of Trump’s dominance, many candidates would probably be happy to grab a strong second-place finish there in order to rally the GOP establishment behind the runner-up. The Reagan revolution was about convincing centrist Dems to try smaller government and deregulation; the Trump revolution is about convincing them that big government will work for them with Donald Trump in charge.
And this is a trend that Trump, as much as he likes to boast about not spending any money, is starting to acknowledge.
While a typical presidential candidate may have suffered for a history of sexist remarks – Mitt Romney drew fierce criticism for using the phrase “binders full of women” in 2012 – Trump has been able to build support by railing against political correctness. The mainstream media, while also claiming to be amazed at Trumps support, appears thrilled to have a controversially outspoken candidate to quote and critique, and is providing Trump with free media coverage virtually 24/7, even though the media are one of his most frequent targets.

The Republicans who have emerged as Trump’s chief rivals, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, had interesting beyond-the-Beltway careers pre-2008 (Rubio in the Florida legislature, Cruz in the Texas attorney general’s office) but emerged as national figures only after Obama’s inauguration.
