Trump Pulls Far Ahead in Latest Poll, Just Announced the Game-Changing Plan Everyone’s Been Waiting for and People Are Going Crazy [+video]

trump-tacoBy Randy DeSoto. As promised, Donald Trump released a comprehensive immigration reform plan over the weekend. In it, the presidential candidate lays out how he would have Mexico pay for a wall along the border. He also calls for an end to birthright citizenship for the children of those in the country illegally.

In discussing the topic of illegal immigration on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Trump told Chuck Todd that he would rescind President Obama’s executive orders on immigration and send illegal immigrants back to their home countries.

“We’re going to keep the families together…but they have to go,” he said . . .

Trump’s plan, entitled, Immigration Reform that Will Make America Great Again, offers three guiding principles from which the policies are derived:

1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.

2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.

3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.

Trump Pulls Far Ahead in Latest Poll

By Jennifer Agiesta. Donald Trump has won his party’s trust on top issues more than any other Republican presidential candidate, and now stands as the clear leader in the race for the GOP nomination, according to a new CNN/ORC poll.

The survey finds Trump with the support of 24% of Republican registered voters. His nearest competitor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, stands 11 points behind at 13%. Just behind Bush, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has 9%, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker 8%, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul 6%, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former tech CEO Carly Fiorina and Ohio Gov. John Kasich all land at 5%, with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee rounding out the top 10 at 4%.

Trump is the biggest gainer in the poll, up 6 points since July according to the first nationwide CNN/ORC poll since the top candidates debated in Cleveland on Aug. 6. Carson gained 5 points and Fiorina 4 points. Trump has also boosted his favorability numbers among Republicans, 58% have a favorable view of Trump now, that figure stood at 50% in the July survey.

Watch: The New Video Trump Just Posted Burns Clinton/Obama to a Crisp in Only 15 Seconds

/6 Comments/in , /by

alg-donald-trump-jpg“Politicians are having fun on our dime while the world is burning.” That’s the hard-hitting message of a new video ad Donald Trump just posted on his Instagram account — a short but incendiary piece that links a golfing Barack Obama and a dancing Hillary Clinton with the brutality of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East.

The 15-second campaign video is accompanied by a 4-word pledge from the Republican presidential contender: “Not under my watch.”

As described in an article in The Daily Mail, the video presents Trump’s contention that “Washington insiders are standing blithely by while ISIS and other forces bent on America’s destruction make global inroads.”

Not under my watch-

A video posted by Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump) on

NBC News points out that Trump has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration’s policies toward radical Islam and its threat to the world. Trump has said, “he has a ‘foolproof’ plan to defeat ISIS, but added that he wouldn’t share it because ‘I don’t want the enemy to know what I’m doing.’”

Shown in survey after survey to be leading the Republican field of 17 candidates vying for the party’s 2016 nomination, Trump just scored another polling win in Alabama. A post on the website al.com notes that the billionaire businessman picked up the support of 30 percent of GOP primary voters in the poll whose results were released Thursday.

Donald Trump Pledges to Support Republican Nominee, Walking Back on This Threat

/3 Comments/in , /by

trump (1)Back in favor at Fox News, Donald Trump dropped a bombshell in the middle of an interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday night that should warm the hearts of Republicans everywhere: He will support the Republican nominee for president, even if it’s not him.

“Let’s assume you’re treated fairly in the process, you didn’t win the nomination — at that point, you would support the Republican candidate?” Hannity asked.

“That’s true,” Trump said.

It was a change in tune since one of the hottest moments from last week’s debate of GOP presidential hopefuls in Cleveland, when Fox’s moderators asked whether Trump would break from the GOP and run as a third-party candidate. Trump, smiling, refused to make any promises.

Whether he sticks to his new line remains to be seen, but in the meantime, Trump has thrown Fox — not to mention the Republican Party — a big bone. The news comes after reports that he and Fox chairman Roger Ailes patched things up in the post-debate fallout. After the mogul torched Fox News for days over an aggressive set of questions during the GOP debate, particularly his thrashing by co-host Megyn Kelly, Trump worked out his beef with Ailes over the phone. He addressed the conflict at the start of the Hannity interview. (Read more from “Donald Trump Pledges to Support Republican Nominee, Walking Back on This Threat” HERE)

Watch: Trump Threatens to Fight Black Lives Matter Protesters, and They Respond

/3 Comments/in , /by

Donald TrumpDonald Trump has laid down the gauntlet to Black Lives Matter and it looks like they are picking it up.

During a news conference Tuesday in Michigan, the 2016 Republican presidential front-runner called Democrat presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders “weak” and a “disgrace” for allowing two Black Lives Matter protesters to take his microphone from him at an event last week. He vowed that such a thing would never happen to him.

“I felt badly for him, but it showed that he’s weak,” Trump told reporters. “He’s getting the biggest crowds, and I’m getting the biggest crowds. We’re the two getting the crowds. But believe me, that’s not gonna happen to Trump” . . .

It didn’t take long for the troublemakers of the Black Lives Matter brigade to take to social media and accept the challenge.

Trump Ups Ante in Megyn Kelly Feud, Posts Link to Her Past Raunchy Howard Stern Interview

/12 Comments/in , /by

1439296687_megyn-kelly-donald-trump-zoomBy Tom Tillison. Donald Trump fired a new salvo Monday in his ongoing feud with Megyn Kelly.

The real estate tycoon-turned-Republican-presidential-front-runner upped the ante against the popular Fox News host when he posted a link on social media to an interview Kelly participated in five years ago with smut-king Howard Stern. The interview is pretty raunchy, from Stern’s end, naturally, and touches on the size of Kelly’s breasts, her husband’s penis size and includes some graphic sex talk.

Trump also offered an opinion who’s more “innocent.”

Here’s the [graphic] audio from the interview:

Megyn Kelly Talks With Howard Stern, and It’s Repulsive

By Greg Richter. Megyn Kelly may have suggested that she was turned off by Donald Trump’s sexist remarks, but that didn’t stop her from rollicking with Howard Stern, discussing her breasts and her husband’s penis size and engaging in some graphic sex talk.

Stern has been accused of being tough on women, such as in 2013 when he called “Girls” actress Lena Dunham “a little fat girl who kinda looks like Jonah Hill, and she keeps taking her clothes off, and it kind of feels like rape.” He also is known for having women remove all their clothing during his radio broadcasts while he ogles and describes them.

In a 2010 interview, the Fox News star laughed with glee as Stern talked about her breasts.

“We used to call them ‘Killer B’s’ then when I got pregnant they became ‘Swimmin’ C’s’ and Doug was frolicking in the ocean,” Kelly said of her husband, author Douglas Brunt.

Stern asked whether she would have considered not marrying Brunt if his penis had been small. (Read more from “Megyn Kelly Talks With Howard Stern, and It’s Repulsive” HERE)

Trump Just Announced His Plan for ISIS – and It Includes Something Highly Controversial

/7 Comments/in , /by

shutterstock_196597025-913x512Continuing his trademark style of delivering bold and controversial answers to pesky problems, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently revealed a central component of his plan for battling Islamic extremism in the Middle East.

He described terrorist group ISIS as a well-funded organization reliant on oil for its revenue. It is on this front, he said during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, that he would attack the organization.

“Every place where they have oil,” he said, “I would knock the hell out of them.”

His plan would call for the deployment of ground troops in the region, he acknowledged.

“I would knock out the source of their wealth, which is oil,” he said. “And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them, but I’d put a ring around it and I’d take the oil for our country.”

Reaction to his proposal was mixed, with some citing a previous campaign promise for which Trump received pointed criticism. (Read more from “Trump Just Announced His Plan for ISIS – and It Includes Something Highly Controversial” HERE)

Watch This Viral Video of Black Women Defending Donald Trump, Giving Megyn Kelly a Piece of Their Minds

/5 Comments/in , /by

sddefaultBy Kyle Olson. It’s suffice to say there are at least two women who support Donald Trump for president.

A duo of black women — hosting a YouTube “show” called “The Viewers View” — eviscerated Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly for her questions related to Trump’s statements on Twitter concerning women.

Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson produced, “Megyn Kelly and that Damn Debate,” today:

“Okay, so it’s a day after the debates and you all know I am mad as hell,” Hardaway began. “Somebody already tried to come for Donald, so I’ve got to come for them.”

Hardaway objected to Kelly’s opening question to Trump, asking him to respond to comments he made on Twitter towards Rosie O’Donnell. (Read more from “Watch This Viral Video of Black Women Defending Donald Trump, Giving Megyn Kelly a Piece of Their Minds” HERE)

‘Mess With the Bull, You’re Going to Get the Horns, Sweetheart’: Trump Iowa Campaigner Says ‘Bloodgate’ Attack on Megyn Kelly Was ‘Fair Game’

By Kieran Corcoran. A Donald Trump official leading his political campaign in Iowa has said his attacks on Fox News host Megyn Kelly are ‘fair game’.

Tana Goertz, his campaign co-chair in the battleground state, said that she was not offended by Trump’s suggestion that Kelly asked him tough questions because there was ‘blood coming out of her wherever’.

Goertz instead said the abuse is part of political debate, saying: ‘If you mess with the bull you’re going to get the horns, sweetheart’.

Trump’s comments, made Friday night in a CNN segment where he also called her a ‘lightweight’ and ‘overrated’, were widely interpreted as a crude reference to Kelly’s menstrual cycle . . .

Goertz, whose association with Trump began when she appeared on season three of The Apprentice, told BuzzFeed News that she was ‘not offended’ by the statement, and does not think it is about her period. (Read more from this story HERE)

Poll: Donald Trump Still in the Lead After Debates

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Donald-Trump-in-his-YouTu-012By Shawna Thomas and John Lapinski. If Donald Trump’s comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly are hurting his standing in the Republican primary, it’s not showing in the numbers.

According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, Trump is at the top of the list of GOP candidates that Republican primary voters would cast a ballot for if the primary were being held right now.

The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday. During that period, Donald Trump stayed in the headlines due to his negative comments about Kelly and was dis-invited from a major conservative gathering in Atlanta.

None of that stopped Trump from coming in at the top of the poll with 23 percent. Sen. Ted Cruz was next on the list with 13 percent.

During the Fox News debate Thursday evening, Trump was the only Republican candidate to say he would not rule out a run as an independent candidate. According to this poll, that’s just fine with over half of his supporters. 54% of Trump supporters said they would vote for him for president, even if he didn’t win the GOP nomination. About one in five Trump supporters said they would switch and support the eventual Republican candidate. (Read more from “Poll: Donald Trump Still in the Lead After Debates” HERE)

GOP Leaders Say Erratic Attacks Hurt Trump, but He Vows to Fight and Win

By Philip Rucker and Robert Costa. Republican leaders who have watched Donald Trump’s summer surge with alarm now believe that his presidential candidacy has been contained and may begin to collapse because of his repeated attacks on a Fox News Channel star and his refusal to pledge his loyalty to the eventual GOP nominee.

Fearful that the billionaire’s inflammatory rhetoric has inflicted serious damage to the GOP brand, party leaders hope to pivot away from the Trump sideshow and toward a more serious discussion among a deep field of governors, senators and other candidates.

They acknowledge that Trump’s unique megaphone and the passion of his supporters make any calculation about his candidacy risky. After all, he has been presumed dead before: Three weeks ago, he prompted establishment outrage by belittling the Vietnam war service of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), only to prove, by climbing higher in the polls, that the laws of political gravity did not apply to him.

Still, Trump’s erratic performance during and after the first Republican presidential debate last week sparked a backlash throughout the party Saturday and a reassessment of his front-running bid. The final straw for many was Trump’s comment on CNN late Friday that Fox moderator Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), a fellow candidate, said Trump was jeopardizing the GOP’s chances of winning back the White House and urged party leaders to stop “tiptoeing” around him. (Read more from this story HERE)

What Exactly Is Trump Selling?

/2 Comments/in , /by

trump080515By Bob Livingston. Would you buy a car from Donald Trump?

The car he’s currently hawking is all exterior gloss with shiny wheels. It has no motor, no seats, no interior of any kind.

It looks good sitting there. But is there anything more?

Thus far, Trump’s appeal to potential voters is his opposition to illegal immigration and his ability to make a snarky retort to political punditry and the mindless sophistry of the propaganda media. It’s gotten him great poll numbers.

His platform, best I can tell, is to “build a wall and make Mexico pay for it,” “Mexico and China are killing us,” “make America strong” and “support Israel unconditionally.”

Those are platitudes, sales pitches — nothing more. (Read more from “What Exactly Is Trump Selling?” HERE)

Rush: ‘Orders From GOP Donors to Take out Trump’

By Garth Kant. On Friday, [Rush] Limbaugh began by telling listeners how, on the day of Thursday’s debate, he had learned “that big-time Republican donors had ordered to take out Donald Trump in the debate last night.”

“We all made a mistake,” he explained. “We assumed that the orders went out to the candidates. But the candidates did not make one move toward taking Donald Trump out. The broadcast network did; the candidates didn’t.”

Rush said it was clear that Fox News had it out for Trump when his colleagues refused to pile on, even when given multiple opportunities to bash the front-runner.

“Not one of the remaining nine candidates joined Megyn Kelly in taking the shot at Trump. Not one. Yet we have been told that there were orders from Republican donors to take Trump out.”

If, in addition to targeting Trump, Fox News was indeed looking to get some love and respect from the left and the establishment media with its relentless attacks on Republican candidates in the Thursday night’s debate, it’s mission was accomplished. (Read more from this story HERE)

Fox News Couldn’t Kill Trump’s Momentum and May Have Only Made It Stronger [+video]

/6 Comments/in , /by

downloadBy Joshua Green. A few hours before Thursday’s Fox News debate, a friend of Donald Trump’s confided to me that Trump was nervous. Not about the competition—he could handle them. No, Trump worried about Fox News, and in particular, debate moderator Megyn Kelly. She’d been hammering him all week on her show, and he was certain she was out to get him. He’d canceled a Fox News appearance on Monday night, the friend said, in order to avoid her. (Trump’s spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm or deny this.)

It turns out Trump was right. His toughest opponents Thursday night weren’t the candidates up on stage, but the Fox News moderators, who went right after him—none with more gusto than Kelly.

Kelly, the whip-smart queen of Fox News’ blonde stunners, went straight for the jugular. “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” she admonished Trump. “Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?”

But Trump saw her coming a mile away and cut her off. “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” he barked, drawing cheers from the crowd. When Kelly tried to point out that he had insulted more women than O’Donnell, Trump, as he would all night, steamrolled right past her. “The big problem this country has is being politically correct,” Trump practically shouted, invoking conservatives’ favorite term of disdain. “I’ve been challenged by so many people and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness and to be honest with you this country doesn’t have time either.” The crowd went wild.

Maybe they were cheering because the question was apropos of something Rachel Maddow would ask, and they were, after all, Republicans. But I think they were cheering because it was clear, at that moment, that Trump was going to be Trump, and wasn’t going to heed the pundits and phonies to tone down his act. According to a report in New York magazine, even his own daughter, Ivanka, was making that case. (Read more from “Fox News Couldn’t Kill Trump’s Momentum and May Have Only Made It Stronger” HERE)

Trump Slams Fox News, Praises Drudge

By Elliot Smilowitz. Donald Trump thinks reader polls on Drudge Report and Time Magazine should carry more weight in judging public reaction to Thursday’s GOP presidential debate than a Fox News panel that ran immediately after the debate.

Speaking with Don Lemon live on CNN on Friday night, Trump lauded his winning performance in reader polls asking who won the debate, particularly the poll run by Drudge Report.

“I’m not saying I won, I’m just telling you polls that came out from Drudge,” he said. “What’s better than Drudge? He’s a fantastic guy. What he’s built is unbelievably respected.”

The Drudge Report poll asked readers who won the debate. Trump led with 45 percent of the vote. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) came in second with 14 percent, and no other candidate had more than 11 percent support.

Trump also cited coverage by Time Magazine, the New York Times and the Washington Post that he said showed him as the victor. (Read more from this story HERE)
