Don’t underestimate Republican supporters who will make a choice based not on the candidate’s stance on issues, but because they see him or her as the best chance of beating Clinton. The rank-and-file are disgusted with the current Republican leadership, who they feel have not represented their interests in Congress. Further, many feel their religious liberties and rights to bear arms are under attack. GOP contenders feeding into the Left’s bogus narratives is selfish, shortsighted and a betrayal of our party and the American people. By then, the field of candidates should have narrowed to two or three – though the race might also be over by then.

With Donald Trump and Ted Cruz topping most polls, some activists have already contacted my radio show to suggest that the two leading candidates join forces to run together as a team.
Among the latter group of caucus-goers, Trump crushes Cruz by a 40% to 14% margin. Trump cited the issue while giving examples of his ability to talk about current topics without using a teleprompter “like our president and half of these politicians” do.
“I don’t know”, Trump told Anderson Cooper in 2011 when asked if he believed Barack Obama was born in the US “I really don’t know”.
Clearly he isn’t serious on foreign policy – or any policy. Americans of all stripes cheered, winning Trump massive instantaneous, enthusiastic and loyal supporters.
Trump is a bully.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday went on an extended riff against rival Ted Cruz in Iowa, as he seeks to beat back a challenge from his closest competitor in the Hawkeye State just weeks before the caucuses.
But he also wants to “carpet bomb” the Middle East – a war crime – and also wants to see if “sand can glow in the dark” – an allusion to nukes.
The professor said that only by allowing modern cultural norms to influence his reading of the Constitution, as a “living Constitutionalist” would do, can Cruz deflect “birther”-type attacks on his presidential eligibility”.
Cruz said the attacks against him are telling.
No growth. No change.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ben Carson appear locked in a battle for third place, with Rubio finishing third in the poll with 12% support, just in front of Carson in fourth with 11%.
But it would be a new face for the some of the worst aspects of the same old Republican Party. But the GOP now finds itself in the weird and not good position of seeing Ted Cruz – in many ways hated by establishment Republicans every bit as much as Trump – shaping up as the alternative to Trump.
Rubio is so eager to give trillions more to the Pentagon that he mathematically can’t even begin to address our national debt.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Freedom Party “is a political party initially established by racist Southern California skinheads that aims to deport immigrants and return the United States to white rule”.
