Donald Trump’s bad week: Speculation of waning star abounds after debate

Is Donald Trump fatigue setting in?

After fighting off attacks from all sides during Wednesday night’s debate, Trump stepped into his latest controversy at a campaign event in New Hampshire, and it appeared as if the GOP frontrunner’s week was as kind to him as he is to his adversaries.

Liberal and conservative pundits alike agreed that Trump’s performance took a back seat to his GOP rival, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who dominated the evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also made strong cases for themselves.

Trump’s glib insults, though warmly received at kickoff, did not fare as well later on as Fiorina and others addressed legitimate issues with poise and conviction. The standout moment when Fiorina got Trump to uncharacteristically back down from his comment about her face was just the feather in her cap.

For once, despite speaking the most, Trump was not the star of the show. Political commentators started questioning whether Trump-mania was fizzling out.

Trump is campaigning on immigration reform and has laid out details.

He has also released details for tax reform as well as his stance on the 2nd Amendment.

He has released more details to date than any other candidate so far and his stance on other matters and issues can be found in the URL in my tagline.

Trump will continue to get a ton of free publicity from the media.
Of course it will fade but the fact is that he will have a huge advantage over other candidates when it comes to free publicity.

Trump said he will have to spend at least 100 Million.
I think he is looking at least 250 Million and if he accepts matching funds from the RNC, maybe less.

“The media seem to have stopped pushing Bush now and are pushing old iron face after her last so called win for them.”

I thought they were pushing Carson. are they pushing Fiorina now?

I heard an interview with Robert Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and he stated that these politicians in control do not understand money or are trying to destroy us financially. He claims Trump is the only candidate who has a chance of pulling us out of this financial nightmare that Mr. Hope and change has gotten us into.
