Nosef said he’ll ultimately support whoever becomes the Republican nominee.

There’s widespread acceptance in all Iowa camps that Trump is shrewdly tapping into pervasive anger and fear, winning support from constituencies such as evangelicals that wouldn’t naturally be drawn to him.
Trump’s persistence is defying estimate of dogmatic preordain and top several Republicans to find strategies to sway him to not ever attain a different-event demanded will need to he stumble within their pursuit of the Republican nomination in 2016. On Sunday the candidate tried to downplay his latest insult, telling CNN that he did “nothing wrong whatsoever” and that he was referring to Ms. Kelly’s “nose and/or ears”. They can not prevent him from gathering the signatures required to get on a primary ballot, and by the time of the Iowa caucuses and the other state primaries in the winter, the choice will be formally with party members. I’m not sure Trump would countenance someone calling his daughter, Ivanka, an “anorexic-looking kike” and then defending oneself by saying “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct“. He fumbled once again on the most predictable question – whether he would have invaded Iraq. The answer is billions of dollars worth, and little else to lose. That’s what Bush envisions, despite reports he might not compete forcefully in Iowa, focusing on New Hampshire instead. He has brushed aside requests from the party to tone down his outrageousness, and has shown no reticence to savage his Republican critics.
He warned that if Clinton is elected, which he called the re-election of President Barack Obama, “this country is done”.
Other committee members say trying to bump him from the debate could risk serious blowback from Trump, and he could always break any promise not to make a third-party bid.
In those writings and statements, Trump says he would repeal the estate tax and lower the corporate tax rate to zero – except for businesses that outsource jobs, which would have a 20 percent tax imposed. And people – or at least some people – admire it.
In an NBC/Survey Monkey poll, Trump went up one point to 23 percent from last week’s support numbers. Ohio Gov. John Kasich or Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker theoretically might be able to pry one or more of the Midwestern industrial states out of Democratic hands.
Mr Trump feuded with rivals and moderators in Thursday night’s debate. The base of the Republican Party is pretty inscrutable to a mushy mainstream liberal like me. In an arena where candidates for office often seem to be over-scripted automatons who are so afraid of offending potential voters that they put us to sleep, Trump is the anomaly.
With the next debate coming up September 16 in California, hosted by CNN, some Republicans have discussed possible ways to make his participation dependent on forswearing talk of an independent presidential bid.
Other candidates fared better.
What stands out in these quotes (as well as his thin-skinned reaction to Kelly) are two major points: 1) the notion of political correctness and 2) the notion of beauty.
For instance, Raleigh’s conservative publisher and commentator Bernie Reeves, quoted in the “American Thinker” magazine’s blog, compared the main street media’s coverage of Trump to “the condescending criticism dished to Reagan in 1981”.
