Ben Carson Reveals the Crucial Advice He’s Giving Trump – It May Put Him Over the Top

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson has received criticism for his decision to endorse front-runner Donald Trump.

Carson asserts he has been able to convince Trump — at least in flashes — to act more presidential.

In a phone inverview Friday, Carson said, “I’ve had talks about being presidential, about toning it down a bit, appealing to a broader group of people. You did notice that he wasn’t nearly as caustic in the last debate. People appreciated that. It’s a matter of cultivating and capitalizing on that.”

Following an incident earlier this week, when Trump attacked Cruz for distributing a racy photo of Melania, Carson conceded Trump’s instincts could not be permanently contained.

This incident resulted in Trump retweeting an unfavorable photo of Heidi Cruz and his threat to “spill the beans.” Cruz responded, calling Trump a “sniveling coward” and saying he was going to beat Trump for the nomination.

Calling the incident a broader craving for public gladiatorial combat among politicians, Carson admitted to dealing with the same issues while he was in the race, saying, “We have all these serious things. Nobody wanted to hear that. We want to hear juicy stuff … Maybe it’s just human nature.” (Read more from “Ben Carson Reveals the Crucial Advice He’s Giving Trump – It May Put Him Over the Top” HERE)

Revealed: Something Sinister About Trump Critics in the GOP That Will SHOCK Many Republicans

/15 Comments/in , /by

By Fred Maxwell. Some prominent Republicans may be willing to go to great lengths to ensure Donald Trump does not become the next Commander in Chief.

A letter crafted by Eliot A. Cohen, former adviser to Sen. Marco Rubio, and Bryan McGrath calls Trump unfit to be president due to his views of American power, which are referred to as “wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle,” the Hill reports.

The letter was signed by over 120 members of the GOP foreign policy establishment.

The Hill reached out to 13 signers of the letter and were contacted by 11 of them.

Some members of the group appear to be showing support for Sen. Ted Cruz, who has been endorsed by FL. Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Speaking of Trump, McGrath calls him “a caricature of classless wealth.” He goes on to say, “Donald Trump is not a Republican, he is a caricature of the Ugly American.” (Read more from “Revealed: Something Sinister About Trump Critics in the GOP That Will SHOCK Many Republicans” HERE)

Donald Trump Viewed More Unfavorably Than Congress, GOP

By AOL. The turbulence the Republican party is currently experiencing does not look like it’s going to end or even let up anytime soon. New polls report the party’s front-runner is the most unfavorable candidate among American voters.

A Bloomberg poll, conducted by Selzer & Co., released Tuesday reveals the one thing American voters disapprove of more than the Republican party and even Congress — Donald J. Trump.

According to the poll, 53 percent of Americans view Trump “very unfavorably.” That’s half of the United States, as opposed to only a third of voters who view Congress in the same light. (Read more from “Donald Trump Viewed More Unfavorably Than Congress, GOP” HERE)

After Paul Ryan Attacked Trump, He Immediately Fired Back in a Way Ryan NEVER Expected

/17 Comments/in , /by

A day after House Speaker Paul Ryan appeared to call out Donald Trump for “ugliness” on the campaign trail, the GOP front-runner’s campaign announced that its first Wisconsin rally will be held in Ryan’s hometown.

The Trump rally is slated for Tuesday afternoon in Janesville in southern Wisconsin.

In a speech to congressional interns Wednesday, Ryan said, “When passions flair, ugliness is sometimes inevitable, but we shouldn’t accept ugliness as the norm.”

“If someone has a bad idea, we tell them why our idea is better. We don’t insult them into agreeing with us,” he added.

Ryan’s remarks came a day after Trump threatened Sen. Ted Cruz’s wife via Twitter in response to an ad run by a pro-Cruz super PAC, which included a suggestive modeling picture of the billionaire businessman’s wife . . .

The three remaining candidates face off in the April 5 Wisconsin primary with 42 delegates up for grabs. The most recent polling has the race neck-and-neck with Cruz at 36 percent, Trump at 35 and Gov. John Kasich at 19 percent.

The Coming Trump Landslide

/6 Comments/in , /by

Republican insiders say he can’t win . . .

He’s also dangerous, they say. He is “divisive.” He is alienating U.S. allies and encouraging U.S. enemies, the naysayers claim . . .

May I, as a Ted Cruz supporter, just step in here for a minute and explain why Donald Trump, as Republican nominee for president, will win a landslide election victory over Hillary and actually be a welcome alternative to the kind of leadership America has experienced for the last 27 years?

I don’t care what the national polls say now about a matchup between Trump and Clinton. I am old enough to remember vividly what the polls between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter looked like in 1980 at this point in the presidential campaign. They suggested Reagan had no chance to win. He trailed Carter in the polls by double digits. He went on to carry 44 states that year, including New York and California – 49 states four years later.

That is very close to what I expect Trump to do to Hillary if he becomes the nominee. (Read more from “The Coming Trump Landslide” HERE)

You’ll Never Believe What Ted Cruz Just Called Donald Trump

/5 Comments/in , /by

Ted Cruz called Donald Trump a “sniveling coward” and told him to leave his wife “the hell alone” on Thursday after Trump retweeted an unflattering photo of his spouse, Heidi Cruz.

“It’s not easy to tick me off. I don’t get angry often,” Cruz told reporters while campaigning in Wisconsin. “But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that’ll do it every time. Donald you are a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone.”

“Our spouses and our children are off bounds,” Cruz warned. “It is not acceptable for a big loud New York bully to attack my wife.”

The Texas senator said Trump is scared by “strong women” and that “real men don’t try to bully women” . . .

The rivalry between the two got increasingly personal this week after an anti-Trump super PAC made an ad featuring a photo shoot of Melania Trump from 2000 with the meme caption: “meet Melania Trump. Your next first lady. Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday.” (Read more from “You’ll Never Believe What Ted Cruz Just Called Donald Trump” HERE)

Whoopi Goldberg to Ben Carson: Why Support ‘Racist’ Trump? ‘That’s How Hitler Got In’

/3 Comments/in , /by

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson defended his endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump against co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s charges of racism and sexism.

Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Sir, I hate to ask this question, but you have aligned yourself with a man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarks, and you’re Ben Carson. Why would you — why would you align yourself with that is this this?”

Carson answered, “Well, you know, you have to look at the good and the bad. There’s no perfect person.”

Goldberg said, “No, I know that.”

Carson continued, “But you look at when Donald Trump first went down to Palm Beach area and a lot of the clubs down there would not accept Jews and Blacks. He insisted on Jews and Blacks and helped to break that open. So, has he said some things that I wouldn’t say or that you wouldn’t say? Of course.” (Read more from “Whoopi Goldberg to Ben Carson: Why Support ‘Racist’ Trump? ‘That’s How Hitler Got In'” HERE)

Republicans Just Sent Trump This HUGE Message the Establishment Won’t Want You to See

/24 Comments/in , /by

By Fred Maxwell. Should front-runner Donald Trump fail to obtain the necessary 1,237 delegates to clinch its nomination, the Republican Party may have a contested convention.

According to a poll released Wednesday by Monmouth University, 54 percent of those expected to vote Republican believe if a contest convention takes place, Trump should receive the Republican presidential nomination.

When asked if another person should be nominated if Trump failed to garner the delegates needed, 34 percent said yes. When asked who should win the nomination in the event of a contested convention, 33 percent chose Sen. Ted Cruz, while 23 percent went for Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Sen. Marco Rubio earned 10 percent of the vote.

If Trump should fall short of the mark by a narrow margin, he has predicted his supporters would riot as well as sit out the election if he is not given the party’s nomination.

However, 43 percent of those polled said that even though they support Trump, they would cast their vote for whoever is the Republican nominee.

Trump has remained in the lead of the majority of preference polls for months, and according to the Monmouth survey, leads the overall Republican field with 41 percent of the support, followed by Cruz at 29 percent and Kasich with 18 percent.

John Kasich Rejects a G.O.P. Call to Quit to Block Donald Trump

By Trip Bariel. Republicans desperate to stop Donald J. Trump from capturing the presidential nomination increased the pressure Wednesday on Gov. John Kasich of Ohio to quit the race, with Jeb Bush joining the growing number of party figures throwing their weight behind Senator Ted Cruz.

Mr. Kasich refused, saying that he, not the Texas senator, was the best option to stop Mr. Trump. But his argument was undercut by his dismal showings Tuesday in Utah and Arizona, where he won no delegates — as well as by the surprise endorsement Wednesday morning by Mr. Bush of Mr. Cruz.

Mr. Bush, who dropped out of the presidential race last month, is the latest mainstream Republican — following Mitt Romney and Senator Lindsey Graham — who is ideologically closer to Mr. Kasich, but whose embrace of Mr. Cruz is a strategic calculation that he has a better shot at stopping Mr. Trump.

Trump Just Doubled Down on Terror Comments by Calling on These US Laws to Be Changed

/15 Comments/in , /by

Hours after a deadly Islamic terror attack in Brussels, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was asked by CNN host Wolf Blitzer to share his prescription for increased threats of violence in the U.S. and around the world. Building on several previous controversial statements, Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he wants to see members of the U.S. military permitted to engage in the torture of terror suspects.

Speaking specifically about Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in last year’s Paris attacks, the brash billionaire said he would “be talking a lot faster with torture.”

Trump went on to theorize that introducing, or re-introducing, certain intense interrogation techniques could be the key to fighting global terrorism. He did acknowledge, however, that there are some people for whom he believes torture should be off limits.

“You’re going to make certain exceptions,” he told Blitzer, “and exceptions on heads of state and some of these people, and I’m not saying we don’t do that. But we have a real problem and people don’t have any idea what’s going on” . . .

“We’re fighting by different rules,” he complained. “They have no rules or regulations and can blow people up, and have bombs so vicious with the nails and the glass and all the things come spewing out, blinding people and destroying people. And we have rules and regulations and we can’t waterboard because it’s a little bit of a tough thing.” (Read more from “Trump Just Doubled Down on Terror Comments by Calling on These US Laws to Be Changed” HERE)

Donald Trump Makes Wild Threat to Ted Cruz’s Wife

/28 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump escalated his feud with Ted Cruz on Twitter Tuesday — but this time he also involved the Texas senator’s wife.

The real estate mogul tweeted that the Texas senator should “be careful” or he would “spill the beans on your wife” Heidi Cruz.

“Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!,” he tweeted Tuesday evening, just minutes before polls closed in Arizona. Trump tweeted and deleted a similar version of the Tweet about 10 minutes earlier.

Trump appears to be referring to a Facebook advertisement targeted to Mormons that shows Trump’s wife, Melania, posing nude. That ad was produced by an anti-Trump super PAC, Make America Awesome, which has no known connection to the Cruz campaign. (Read more from “Donald Trump Makes Wild Threat to Ted Cruz’s Wife” HERE)

Hollywood Actor Makes Trump Endorsement [+video]

/5 Comments/in , /by

Scott Baio has endorsed Republican frontrunner Donald Trump for president.

The 55-year-old Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi star made his endorsement in an interview with Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday.

“It’s very simple,” Baio told Pirro of his reasons for supporting Trump. “Because when he speaks, I understand him. He speaks like I speak, he communicates with people very well. I want him, as any one person can do, to go into Washington and blow it up.”

The conservative actor said he was “fed up” with the Republican Party, who said “lied and conned and BS’ed me,” and added that he no longer considered himself a Republican but a “conservative Independent.” (Read more from “Hollywood Actor Makes Trump Endorsement” HERE)
