Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told The Washington Post that he preferred Trump to Cruz.
Having angered veterans with his quip at Mr McCain’s expense, Mr Trump caused outrage when he mocked a disabled newspaper reporter, Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition. “Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot on behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as The Donald himself”, the magazine states, according to CNN. “It’s probably not a good idea for him to do that, and I would not recommend that he do it but you know … that’s Donald”. “I’ve got Sarah Palin”.

And one drive north later, in a pizza shop not far from here in Dike, Cruz continued to remind voters how close comprehensive immigration bill came to passing both houses of Congress, raising the stakes for Trump’s decision then to not protest it.
“We love you, too, man”, Trump said. “There’s so much at stake for us in America”.

The Des Moines Register endorsed him Saturday as its choice in the Republican race, backing Hillary Clinton in the Democratic contest. Bernard Sanders of Vermont. He also referred to fellow Republican candidates as “soft”, criticising their small numbers of supporters. That is why I’m endorsing Sen. Barack Obama of IL and former Sen.

Cruz and Carson have each made direct appeals to pastors within the evangelical community, with Carson frequently speaking at evangelical churches during Sunday services – events not advertised by his campaign staff.
