In Cedar Rapids, former Iowan, University of Iowa graduate and Reagan administration staffer Doug Elmets asked, “How can any self-respecting human being look at Donald Trump and say he should be the leader of this country?”

“Mr. Trump recorded a short interview with Larry King for his podcast as a favor to Mr. King”, Hicks said. The billionaire businessman only began to voice doubts about the conflict well after it began in March 2003.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a Russia-funded television network that “it’s probably unlikely” that Russian Federation is trying to influence the USA election.
Besides calling for an “ideological certification” of undocumented immigrants seeking citizenship, he used the platform on August 31 to attack Democratic rival Hillary Clinton on immigration.
Clinton voted in favor of the invasion in 2002 while she was a NY senator.
“It’s a very different system, and I don’t happen to like the system”.
Trump pushes his claim of early disapproval as “one of the biggest differences in this race”.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton appeared caught off guard during the Commander in Chief presidential forum, snapping at Matt Lauer after he tried to speed up her answer. The next day, he spent several minutes at an education event in Cleveland reiterating his opposition and citing a series of interviews as proof.
“He’s the guy who annexed Crimea, invaded Ukraine, supports [President Bashar al-] Assad in Syria, supports Iran, is trying to undermine our influence in key regions of the world and, according to our intelligence community, probably is the main suspect for the hacking of DNC computers”, Lauer said to Trump, asking him: “Do you want to be complimented by a former KGB officer?” Trump contributed $2 million to the campaign, CNN reported, and the Washington Post added that million came from small donations.
He also urged the media and public to hold Trump accountable for the comments he make for often they are not credible and unsupported with facts. “I have been somewhat heartened by the number of articles recently pointing out the quite disparate treatment of Trump’s campaign and ours”. Trump then alluded to the first Gulf War in 1991, which ended with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein still in power.
“Is the plan you’ve been hiding this whole time asking someone else for their plan?” Instead, Trump refused to say what he would do, on the grounds that the revelation would help ISIS.
Trump offered no response, and the line went silent. That September, he said on MSNBC that he “would have fought terrorism, but not necessarily Iraq”. “I have a plan”, he told Lauer, but “I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy what my plan is”. But he stopped short of saying that he was among those opponents. In his 2000 book, “The America We Deserve”, he suggested that he would be in favor of a pre-emptive strike if Iraq was viewed as a threat to national security.
The Republican also repeated an incorrect claim that he was opposed to the war with Iraq before the invasion. “Because I believe they do have to meet certain standards if they’re going to be on a path to citizenship”.
He also argued there was no evidence the Russians were behind a hack into the Democratic National Committee’s email system this summer, though counterintelligence officials have said there’s little doubt regarding the culprits. “It’s grace that lifts us up, and grace that leads us home”. Clinton did take some thinly veiled shots at Trump, but she also made an appeal to African-American voters and reflected on her Methodist faith.

“I think Vladimir Putin has done some awful things, and there’s been some speculation and conjecture of what’s taken place inside the Kremlin”, he said.
