While many Americans are still in a holiday mood, Trump is locked in a multi-front war of words-with Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, Republican rivals Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, a New Hampshire newspaper and the Republican party of Virginia.

Trump on Clinton, Bush: ‘We view this as war’
Later in his speech, Trump remarked that “the last thing [Clinton] wants in her whole life” is to face him in a general election. Clinton’s public comments came as President Obama was in a re-election campaign making claims al-Qaida was “on the run”.
Republican presidential candidate, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush speaks during a Forum Club of the Palm Beaches event, Monday, Dec. 28, 2015. People are deeply anxious and angry about Washington D.C. not working, and so I respect that, and I understand that but I want to win. The sentiment isn’t common when the governor is on campaign trails in other parts of the country. Bush had in the past said: “He (Trump) would not exist were it not for Barack Obama”. But he set his sights mainly on the general election, arguing that his fellow Republicans can’t clinch the White House.
Japan agrees to ‘comfort women’ talks: minister
In the face of criticism, President Park Geun Hye has launched an all-out campaign to win public support for the deal. China took a different tack, with state media slamming Japan’s long-awaited mea culpa as insincere and insufficient.
The Republican front-runner also retweeted a supporter who claimed that Bush’s mother was a Trump supporter. For instance, in the pivotal state of Florida, where Nader received over 97,000 ballots, Gore officially lost to Bush by only 537 votes (48.84 per cent compared to 48.85 per cent).

Samoa was the first nation to see in 2016, with New Zealand the first nation with a sizeable population to celebrate the New Year. New York: Around 1 million people were expected to converge on New York City’s Times Square for the annual celebration.
Bush also blasted Trump’s plan to temporarily bar all Muslim tourists and immigrants from entering the US. “I mean, it’s beyond ridiculous; it’s quite unsafe”.
During the hourlong discussion with the Globe’s editorial board on Wednesday and in a brief interview afterward, Bush repeatedly invoked Trump’s name, often to bemoan how much attention Trump receives. “I gotta get this off my chest”. Somehow Trump’s resilience in the polls these last few months hasn’t seemed to change Murphy’s view.
Bush panned ideas such as Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the border and make Mexico pay for it, saying the suggestion was unserious. All of which has left politicos wondering when Right to Rise is going to do what Super PACs were born to do, which is go negative on the opposition-and, specifically, go negative on the opponent who has done the most harm to that Super PAC’s chosen candidate.

“Bush’s team dishonestly omits that Marco is on the Senate’s Intelligence Committee, where he attended the highest level briefings on the Paris attacks”, spokesman Alex Conant said in response to the new ad. But I believe that conservatism needs to be applied in a hopefully, optimistic way.
