The United States.’ And I think we’re actually playing into it when they hear Trump’s rhetoric. “I am going to make our country great again”. And he’s really becoming the figure on the right of choice in that state, and Iowa votes just seven weeks from tomorrow.

His stump speech now makes pointed references to the Islamic State’s stronghold in Raqqa, Syria; to Kurdish forces fighting in Sinjar, Iraq; and also to resistance failures in Mosul, Iraq.
“The worst outcome for the Republican party is if Trump loses the nomination and runs as a candidate of his own party”, said Prof Hill.
When he decided not to run, the candidate who benefited the most in Iowa, according to the poll, was Clinton.
Debate lineup: Cruz, Trump and the other Republican hopefuls meet Tuesday night for their next debate.
An analysis of polling trends shows that Carson has significantly benefited from past debates, endearing himself to voters even as his soft-spoken demeanor has left many critics convinced that he had not achieved any breakout moments. Trump responded. “But without the ban, you’re not going to make the point. And any area he doesn’t have experience in he would be able to pick it up quickly”.
The three biggest liars on the list are – surprise – Ben Carson, Donald Trump, and Sen. More than anything, Drake said, he is looking for a candidate who does not use “all that political-correctness bulls–“.
Recent general GOP polls (like this one and this one), where Trump is winning, factor in new Republican voters – a key portion of his support, but also those less likely to engage in the arduous Iowa caucus voting. Mark Zuckerberg, for example, wrote on his Facebook page that Muslims should know they are always welcome at Facebook “and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you”. And second, that the more bullshit GOP candidates spew, the more successful they become.
That argument may seem thin to political strategists. But even those who saw Trump as more than a passing phenomenon still believed that the establishment would coalesce behind a single alternative to defeat him.
“I don’t put much weight into [Carson’s mistakes]”. “I’m supposed to be on the other side writing checks”, he said.
Cruz’s organizing success is related to the number of conservative influencers he has wooed – from prominent conservatives like Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) and influential evangelical pastors. His message is been part pastor-like and part renegade-like, challenging the GOP and the establishment to send a true conservative to the White House to “take on the Washington cartel”.
“Cruz has not worked well with those in the Senate”. But look what happens when Fox, whose Cruz-Trump results can be considered a statistical tie, narrows the sample to include only people who say they will definitely vote in the caucuses.
Carson has accused the press of blowing his missteps out of proportion.
Cruz has increased his numbers by 21% since a poll that was taken two months ago. Instead, it sounded like he was describing hummus, the chickpea dip.
“I would say I have far better judgment than Ted”, Trump said in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, citing as examples his business success and opposition to the war in Iraq. “It’s a city out there!” he joked after stumbling on pronouncing Mosul during an event in Atlanta.
“I’m very sensitive to, you know, the narrative that Carson doesn’t know anything about foreign policy”, Carson admitted Tuesday to an audience of more than 1,000 supporters in Atlanta.

“It does endanger national security, because it exhibits an attitude by one American who is running for the highest office of our land about a willingness to discriminate against a religion”, Kerry said.
