“I believe 2016 is going to be an election like 1980, and help is on the way”, he said.

Asked by a reporter after a SC event Friday if he would apologize for his comments, Cruz responded, “Well, you’re right, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio have all demanded an apology, and I’m happy to apologize”.
The strategically friendly relationship between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz came to a combative end Thursday night as the republican frontrunners clashed repeatedly during a debate on the Fox Business Network. Iowa Republicans historically tend to favor more conservative candidates.
Donald Trump and Sen. “When you’re a senator what you get to do is talk and talk and talk and no one can keep up to see if what you’re saying is accurate or not”, Christie said. The following is Smith’s letter to Ted Cruz. Fiorina, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Sen. Rubio noted several issues on which Cruz had changed his views or his stance, including the availability of green cards and legal status for immigrants in the country illegally, Trade Promotion Authority for President Obama, military spending levels and even the status of whistleblower Edward Snowden. “We’re looking for the whole package here”.
Trump also stuck with his controversial call for temporarily banning Muslims from the United States because of fear of attacks emanating from overseas. Cruz has lately begun denouncing “New York values” to connect Trump to the city’s famous liberalism.
“Everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage”, Cruz said, adding that New Yorkers are focused “around money and the media”.
He apologized to “millions of unborn children” in NY, black children “Mayor de Blasio tried to throw out of their charter schools”, people “ridiculed and insulted by the NY media”, and the law enforcement officers who feel their city’s mayor “stands with the looters and criminals rather than the courageous men and women of the law”.
Trump shot back: “As you know, Ted, in the last three polls I’m beating you”. But the Supreme Court hasn’t previously considered the eligibility question. He instead used the opportunity to jab at Democratic politicians in NY state.
Rubio likened Christie’s policies to President Barack Obama’s, particularly on guns, Planned Parenthood and education reform – an attack Christie declared false.
Just one debate remains before Iowa’s February 1 caucuses. At the moment, Trump is hoping that all he has to do to stop Cruz’s rise in the polls is to question whether the senator is even eligible to become president.
In the new ad, Trump runs through his central campaign platforms, including his vows to strengthen the country’s borders, “fix” it’s health care system and the military, and take better care of veterans.
The Trump campaign is also giving out free tickets to the new movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”.
Since the summer, Trump has gathered thousands of people into stadiums and farms like the one he lit up Friday in Urbandale, Iowa.
