Donald Trump played it safe Friday at the 2015 Sunshine Summit, focusing his remarks on immigration and foreign policy instead of continuing his criticism of Ben Carson, and cancelling a press conference shortly after leaving the stage.
The Republican presidential hopeful made no mention of Carson during his speech despite releasing an ad targeting the retired neurosurgeon just hours prior. Within minutes of concluding his remarks and leaving the stage, Trump's campaign notified a crowded room of reporters he would no longer be available for a Q&A.
Trump's campaign did not provide a reason for the last-minute cancellation, but the GOP candidate took the stage Friday less than an hour after news broke of a series of terror attacks in Paris, France.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who's surpassed Trump as the GOP front-runner both nationally and in key early primary states, was scheduled to speak at the same gathering of Florida Republicans immediately after Trump.
Due to the two candidates back-to-back remarks, dozens of reporters missed several minutes of Carson's speech while waiting for Trump to arrive in the briefing room.
So, do you support gay marriage and multiple divorces while calling for born again Christians to be locked up forever, because change is not possible?
Carson is for amnesty. And his violent streak should be of concern.
Just like our people on 9/11...
If this doesn’t make the case for closed borders I don’t know what will....I certainly don’t want to live thru another 9/11...
Good catch, and I saw that and commented in in a subsequent post. I’m glad he came out with that tweet.
Go Trump Go. By the way your tag is a misnomer.
“So, do you support gay marriage and multiple divorces while calling for born again Christians to be locked up forever, because change is not possible?”
Go take the religious points you are reading off of your anti-Trump checklist elsewhere tonite, you phony moralist. This is not the night for them. In case you didn’t notice, there has been a mass terrorist massacre in Paris tonite, and you are spouting your johnny one note religious spiel?
Right now I’m much more concerned about all the Christians being massacred and exterminated, expunged from the face of the earth by the Muzzie terrorists all over the Middle East, not your petty talking points against Trump. Bah, go away, you are not worth one second of my time. Buzz off.
YOU GOT IT!!!
Yes I do and so do YOU! ;)
immigration just became a very winning topic today.
God bless you Mr. Trump!
You are disgusting. Go Trump Go
Trump should be beating Jebito and Kashick over the head with the Paris attack today! Hilary just lost her Trump Card today!
If your comments are true, why did you attack me in the first place? I hadn’t commented to you—you stepped into my exchange with someone else.
Stop biting off more than you can chew and get some manners.
“Stop biting off more than you can chew and get some manners.”
I’m chewing all right, I’m chewing you out, and I can’t think of anyone tonite that deserves it more. Now buzz off.
Well AP already has an article out today saying the Iowa rally goers were not upset about Trumps’ speech.
Thank you. I’m glad intelligent perception isn’t entirely dead. Of course you are correct. It’s quite a different attitude than we’re used to seeing from our current “President” in times of world crisis isn’t it.
WOOHOO TRUMP!!!
Every time someone says he’s going down, he just raises in the polls and people love him more...and I’ll bet after what has happened in France today, they will love him even more....watch how many RINOs start to back him, and even the candidates running against him will be riding on his coat tails!!!
Except ISIS is sending their best...shots.
Trump is zooming up in the polls....numbers like 42-50 % are the new norms....Carson is like an anchor being throw into the sea and sinking rapidly!!!
As the Obama JV (Junior Varsity) ISIS slaughters hundreds of innocents, children included, in Paris....the idiot Obama declares them contained!!! Trump is 100% correct, some Americans, both Democrats & Republicans are “stupid” or, not-too-bright, Obama, being the failed leader of the pack!!!
Go DONALD TRUMP!!! The majority of the American people are with you!!! And....that majority keeps growing every day!!!
Trump is the best equipped for a 3am call. He would provide sure, steady leadership during a time of crisis.
