Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)Donald Trump's final day of campaigning in New Hampshire before the state's first-in-the-nation primary marked a notable departure from the candidate's convention-defying campaign. He fielded voters' questions during three intimate town hall forums on Monday. And in a rally that night, Trump veered clear of controversial, headline-grabbing territory. http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/09/politics/donald-trump-new-hampshire-campaigning/index.html

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican presidential candidates take the debate stage Thursday night absent their front-runner, Donald Trump, who will instead seek to starve his rivals of attention at a critical juncture in the campaign by holding a competing event of his own. Trump's abrupt decision to boycott the final debate before Monday's Iowa caucuses has added a new layer of uncertainty to a race that has defied political convention. He cited "unfair" treatment from debate host Fox News as his reason for skipping the contest and holding a rally instead. "I don't like being taken advantage of," Trump...

Ted Cruz, who notches 19% support in the...

"It troubles me that there can't be a serious discussion about immigration issues because people are afraid of being called racist. People are afraid of being called a bigot. And I think one of the things that people like about Donald Trump — those who like him — is that he's going ahead and saying it, and it's creating a kind of inoculation against something people have feared so much, which is being called a bigot."

Well ok. I have never heard of this guy before. I don't know if what he is saying it true, is true. Tried to google the guy, and it wasn't for sure whether he is reputable.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump warned that he would force Apple, the U.S.'s most profitable company, to manufacture all of its products in the U.S. if he is elected president in November 2016. Technology blog Gizmodo reports that during a speech at Liberty University in Virginia late Monday, the frontrunner for the GOP ticket said, "We're going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries." Apple currently only manufactures its Mac Pro computers in the U.S., while most of its other products, including the iPhone, are made in China. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/19/trump-apple-should-build-their-damn-things-in-us.html

More than any political candidate in memory, Donald Trump's value proposition to voters is simple and crystal clear: He's a winner. Everything else follows from that. He doesn't owe wealthy political donors or political elites anything. He'll get the best trade deals and kick the most terrorist ass. He'll defy political correctness and tell it like it is. ISIS will give us its oil. Mexico will pay for our wall. Corporations will beg us to relocate their factories to the US. Why? Because Trump is a winner. "We will have so much winning if I get elected," he assures us,...

Pundits might point to billionaire Donald Trump's huge lead in the GOP presidential primary race as being the result of his generally anti-Washington, anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-politically correct attitude. If so, it's not just whites who are ticked at the bureaucracy, but minorities too. Because a new poll, which still has Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians. Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites. (full article below) http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/minorities-line-up-behind-donald-trump/

Sunday on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said if the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton attacks him as sexist, it is "fair game" to bring up her husband former President Bill Clinton's indiscretions. Trump said. "I think he's fair game because his presidency was considered to be troubled, to put it mildly, Because of all the things she's mentioning to me. She actually said sexism, I don't know if you saw the following tweet, but I turned her words against her from that standpoint. She's got to be careful and fair. We all have to...

Haha. Oh my goodness. I just heard the announcer on the radio station KFI in Los Angeles talking about Hillary's appeals to Hispanic voters, using the term "Hispandering". Outstanding. Home run for KFI. That is exactly what Hillary is doing. ROFL.
