Liberal Columnist Just Came out With Unexpected Support for Donald Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

Liberal Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus says Donald Trump has every right to use former President Bill Clinton’s conduct with women as a counter-attack against Hillary Clinton’s charges of sexism.

“In the larger scheme of things, Bill Clinton’s conduct toward women is far worse than any of the offensive things that Trump has said,” Marcus writes in her Tuesday column.

“Trump has smeared women because of their looks. Clinton has preyed on them, and in a workplace setting where he was by far the superior” . . .

Weighing how the sins of her husband should factor into the Democratic front-runner’s presidential campaign, Marcus argues that Clinton made two moves that led her to agree with Trump on the “fair game” front . . .

Trump and Clinton have been in statistical dead heats in two recent hypothetical match-ups, but the RealClearPolitics average of national head-to-head polls between the two parties’ leading candidates has Clinton up by 5.5 percentage points.

Watch: Legendary Comedian Slams Obama, Praises Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iconic American comedian Jerry Lewis slammed Barack Obama and praised Donald Trump in an interview on World Over with Raymond Arroyo.

“Refugees should stay where the hell they are,” said Lewis bluntly. “Hey, no one has worked harder for the human condition than I have, but they’re not part of the human condition. If 11 guys in the group of 10,000 are ISIS—how can I take that chance?”

Lewis is not alone in this feeling; as of last month at least 31 governors rejected President Obama’s push to accept Syrian refugees into their states. Reports of ISIS now having access to a machine that makes American passports and recent revelations of the holes in our vetting system, borne out in the horrific San Bernardino terror attack, are just a couple of the factors legitimizing such pushback from the American people.

Lewis then said that President Obama was “never prepared” for ISIS and suggested that he was not a real leader . . .

“I think he’s great,” said Lewis of Trump. “He’s a showman and we’ve never had a showman in the president’s chair.”

WOW: Trump Just Got Unexpected Support from a GOP Rival – ‘My Money’s on Him’ [+video]

/15 Comments/in , /by

By Randy DeSoto. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee believes Donald Trump will be the likely winner against Hillary Clinton in their current exchange of salvos over sexism.

Huckbee said on Fox and Friends Monday morning, “Nothing’s backfired on Donald Trump yet. My money’s on him.”

“I honestly don’t think this is going to hurt Donald Trump,” the former governor added. “Every time that somebody tries to attack him, it comes and backfires on them.”

As reported by Western Journalism, Clinton accused Trump of “having a penchant for sexism,” in the wake of his remarks describing her loss to Barack Obama in 2008 as getting “schlonged” . . .

Huckabee, who successfully went up against what he describes as the “Clinton machine” in Arkansas to become governor, feels Trump has every right to mention Bill Clinton’s past, and Hillary’s complicity in it. “I think that the Clintons have some vulnerabilities here that Trump is seizing upon,” Huckabee said.

Bill Clinton was accused sexually harassing multiple women, and was impeached and disbarred for false testimony he gave in a sexual harassment suit involving Paula Jones. Hillary was reportedly actively involved in seeking to discredit the women who accused the former president of groping and other sexual gestures towards them to the press.

TRUMP MAKES GOOD ON HIS PROMISE, CONTINUES TO HAMMER BILL CLINTON FOR “WOMEN ABUSE”

By Geoffe Earl. Donald Trump made good on his threat to drag Bill Clinton into the presidential race Monday when he accused the former commander in chief of “women abuse.”

Trump made the charge in a tweet on Monday after warning Hillary Clinton to be careful about accusing him of sexism.

“If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women’s card on me, she’s wrong!” the Republican front-runner tweeted. (Read more from “Trump Just Hammered Bill Clinton – Again” HERE)

Trump Plots Big TV Ad Blitz That Could Change Campaign Landscape

/2 Comments/in , /by

When Donald Trump and his team were planning his presidential campaign, they drew up a budget of $25 million for television advertising in the third quarter of this year.

They wound up spending zero for the rest of 2015.

That is about to change. Sources in the Trump camp say they will soon launch a major ad blitz that could cost at least $2 million a week, and possibly several times that.

The initial wave of ads will focus on Trump’s vision and his stance on key issues—no bio spots necessary for the celebrity candidate—but that could change if any GOP rivals target him with negative commercials. “If you attack Trump, he will attack you 10 times as hard,” an adviser says. “We will not allow any attack to go unanswered.”

The Trump camp is working with a Florida-based advertising firm, as widely reported, but also with several other media companies, some of which are well-known in the political community, the sources say. (Read more from “Trump Plots Big TV Ad Blitz That Could Change Campaign Landscape” HERE)

This Is Where Trump Placed in Poll for Most Admired Man in the World – the Surprise Is Who He Tied with

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump and Pope Francis are tied for second in a new survey that asks Americans to name their most admired man in the world.

The only guy in front of them is President Obama, who received 17 percent of the mentions in the annual Gallup survey, while Trump and his Holiness each received a 5 percent share.

Topping the women’s list will be Trump’s Democratic rival, if each frontrunner wins their party’s primary contest, with Hillary Clinton receiving 13 percent of all mentions.

Gallup has asked this question of Americans since 1946 for men and 1948 for women and Trump has finished in the top 10 four times before . . .

Clinton has also appeared on the list before, in fact, she holds the record for the most times a woman has been No. 1. (Read more from “This Is Where Trump Placed in Poll for Most Admired Man in the World – the Surprise Is Who He Tied with” HERE)

Trump Just Turned the Tables on Hillary by Publicly Pointing out 1 Big Thing About Bill

/4 Comments/in , /by

By Cassandra Vinograd. Donald Trump took a swipe at Hillary Clinton with a jibe about her husband late Saturday, the latest in a war of words between the two presidential hopefuls.

The Republican frontrunner sparked a firestorm last week for calling Clinton’s debate bathroom break “disgusting” and for saying she had been “schlonged” in the 2008 Democratic primary.

While Clinton wouldn’t respond directly to the remarks, she told the Des Moines Register she deplored the “tone” of Trump’s campaign and said he had shown a “penchant for sexism.”

Trump has since defended his use of the term “schlonged” and struck out against allegations of sexism.

In one Tweet following Clinton’s interview Trump warned her to “be careful” when complaining about sexism — and late Saturday he fired another salvo with a dig about her husband, Bill Clinton.

Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton Is Playing the ‘Woman’s Card’

By Gregory Kreig. Donald Trump on Sunday accused Hillary Clinton of unfairly trading on her gender while declaring Bill Clinton to be “fair game” as the former president hits the trail to campaign for his wife.

“She’s playing the woman’s card,” Trump said during an interview on Fox News, before turning his attention to Clinton’s husband, declaring him “fair game because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled because of all the things that she’s talking to me about.”

“She’s mentioning sexism,” Trump added, referencing a recent interview in which Clinton told the Des Moines Register the billionaire had “demonstrated a penchant for sexism” . . .

On Sunday morning, a little more than 12 hours later, Trump gloated about it.

“I turned her exact words against her,” he said. (Read more from “Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton Is Playing the ‘Woman’s Card'” HERE)

Trump: ‘We Are Going to Start Saying Merry Christmas Again… That’s the Way It Should Be’ [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

Real estate mogul and best-selling author Donald Trump, echoing remarks he made in September about the importance of saying “Merry Christmas,” told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins that when you go to stores today, you rarely see the word “Christmas,” but that this is going to change – “we are going to start saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again.”

During a Dec. 19 interview on Perkins’ radio show, Washington Watch, Trump said, “Well, Tony, I can, tell you this, that religious liberty is very important to me, and I see more and more, especially, in particular, Christianity, Christians, their power is being taken away.”

“I just watch it and I get angry at it,” said Trump. “You look at what is going on with other religions, you look at, as an example, what’s happening with respect to Muslims and others, where perhaps they just band together better or something. But, you know, the Christian, every year, you just see it more and more.”

“You know, you go from one thing to the next to the point where it’s not politically correct to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to anybody, or you go to stores and you don’t ever see the word ‘Christmas’ anymore,” said Trump. “You don’t see that term anymore, Tony.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘We Are Going to Start Saying Merry Christmas Again… That’s the Way It Should Be'” HERE)

Trump Dominates GOP Field Heading into 2016

/3 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump seems set to end 2015 as the dominant force in the race for next year’s Republican nomination for president, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz now a clear — yet distant — second after a strong debate performance, a new CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday has found.

Trump tops the field with 39%, according to the poll of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters. That’s more than double the share backing Cruz, who, at 18%, has inched up 2 points since the last CNN/ORC poll, which was taken in late November.

Trump has been a constant atop the polls since his ascent to the lead in July, and this new poll marks the first time Cruz stands significantly apart from the other candidates vying for the nomination. Behind those two, Ben Carson and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio have each slipped a few points and now stand tied at 10% . . .

A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday found a tighter race between Trump and Cruz, a finding that clashes with most other recent polling on the national race. It is one of only two live interviewer national polls released since Thanksgiving that found Trump with a lead smaller than 10 points. Across the 10 polls released during that time, Trump’s lead over Cruz averages 16 points.

The CNN/ORC poll was conducted after the Republican debate hosted by CNN and Facebook in Las Vegas on December 15. Among those Republicans who say they watched, 33% say Trump did the best job in the debate, 28% Cruz, 13% Rubio. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie follows with 6%. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, widely seen as needing a strong debate performance to boost his standing in the polls, was rated best by just 1% of debate watchers.

Cruz Agrees with Trump on GOP Race

/2 Comments/in , /by

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz believes the 2016 race for the Republican presidential nomination is becoming a two-man contest between Donald Trump and himself.

Cruz celebrated his 45th birthday in Tennessee on Tuesday, where the senator stumped as part of his tour of the March 1 nominating states — particularly those in the “SEC primary.”

“I did think it was interesting that Donald Trump said a couple of days ago that he thinks this race will come down to him and me. I think Donald may well be right,” Cruz said in Tennessee. “I think it could easily end up being a two-man race between Donald Trump and me. And I think that presents a good choice to the American people. This process is a job interview. It is a job interview where each and every one of us is standing before 330 million Americans and trying to make the case in terms of who is best prepared to be commander-in-chief.” (Read more from “Cruz Agrees with Trump on GOP Race” HERE)

Will The GOPe Do A “Murkowski” On Trump?

/29 Comments/in , /by

What Happens to the GOP If Trump Wins?

With Trump as its standard-bearer, the GOP would suddenly be asked to rally around a candidate who has been called by his once and former primary foes “a cancer on conservatism,” “unhinged,” “a drunk driver … helping the enemy.” A prominent conservative national security expert, Max Boot, has flatly labeled him “a fascist.” And the rhetoric is even stronger in private conversations I’ve had recently with Republicans of moderate and conservative stripes.

This is not the usual rhetoric of intraparty battles, the kind of thing that gets resolved in handshakes under the convention banners. These are stake-in-the-ground positions, strongly suggesting that a Trump nomination would create a fissure within the party as deep and indivisible as any in American political history, driven both by ideology and by questions of personal character.

Indeed, it would be a fissure so deep that, if the operatives I talked with are right, Trump running as a Republican could well face a third-party run—from the Republicans themselves. . .

Any candidate attempting a third-party bid would confront serious obstacles, such as getting on state ballots late in the election calendar. As for down-ballot campaigns, most state laws prohibit candidates from running on multiple lines; so a Senate or congressional candidate who wanted to avoid association with Trump would have to abandon the GOP line to re-run with an independent presidential contender. The Stevenson example shows that leaving a major party line is fraught with peril—although the write-in triumph of Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski in 2010 suggests that it can sometimes succeed.

The very fact that serious political thinkers are contemplating such a possibility demonstrates that when Republicans look at the perils posed by a third-party bid from Donald Trump, they may be looking in the wrong direction. It’s not Trump the Defector that could trigger the biggest threat to the party, but Trump the Nominee. (Read more from “What Happens to the GOP If Trump Wins?” HERE)
