Reid said Trump’s unflagging support in the polls is making him immune to criticism.
“I think he is becoming more popular as he keeps talking”, store owner Carlos De Le Fuenta said. It’s nearly as if Krugman is calling himself an ignorant blowhard.
“If he comes in third or fourth in Iowa, he could lose his cool”, one strategist said.
“Why don’t they say anything? Secondly, young people generally do not pay attention to presidential politics this early so it is not surprising that he has filled in a gap in that respect as well”, said pollster John Zogby.
“Donald Trump said that this kind of specific knowledge didn’t matter, he would delegate, he’d get up to speed in 24 hours-that’s what people in business do”, Dickerson said, referring to Trump’s interview with Hewitt.
Despite being the front-runner, some officials have questioned whether Mr Trump’s strident comments will simply serve to damage the party’s long term reputation, rather than gain him entry into the White House. “I have to do what’s right“.
However, Republicans are warming to Trump.
Sarah Palin appeared on CNN this morning and defended Donald Trump after his less-than-stellar interview with Hugh Hewitt.
Trump’s foreign policy-focused interview was pretty widely panned for The Donald’s loose grasp on the issues. On State of the Union this morning, Tapper asked Palin if she thought Trump got “gotcha” questions.
Palin said, “I’d rather have a president who is tough and puts America first than can win a game of Trivial Pursuit.”
She added that the public doesn’t “give a flying flip” which specific leaders are overseeing specific regions anyway. Palin suggested a good metric to judge candidates by might be whether they know the price of a barrel of oil.
She also dismissed the idea that the Republican Party has a problem with minorities, telling Tapper the GOP is a “party of tolerance.”
Though it’s well known that Trump and Wynn have had their differences in the past and used nasty language to describe one another, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said, “They have been friends for 30 years and they have always had a great relationship”.
Liberals don’t see things that way.
Hundred of protesters rallied for roughly three hours outside Dallas City Hall Monday, voicing opinions against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“The issues the Bush campaign is using to attack its unexpected nemesis are precisely the issues on which Mr. Trump happens to be right, and the Republican establishment has been proved utterly wrong, “Krugman writes”.
He’s leading nearly every horse race poll – although at this stage, those numbers are utterly unreliable as predictors of real voter behavior. Sanders leads Hillary Clinton by 41%-32% in New Hampshire, pretty much a reverse from the July poll. He would beat Bernie Sanders by four percent and uncommitted contender Joe Biden by two percent. Martin O’Malley, another Democratic contender, raised income taxes on the rich as governor of Maryland. Some of us may think that the dumbing down of the Oval Office occurred under George W. Bush and others may say the same about Barack Obama, depending on their partisan preferences.
