CNN is hosting a town hall at 8 p.m. EST with Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. At the same time MSNBC is holding a competing town hall with Donald Trump.
No wonder so much of what he says goes over the TDSers heads
Judging how soft Trump was on Obama dissing him and how hard he goes after Conservatives... I’d say Trumps base is the Nancy Pelosi liberal wing...
Can you see Trump on an advertisement for Priceline (The Trump Negotiator)?
Trumps a leader and not fence sitter, plain spoken without soaring political rhetoric. This will turn people off, but right now that's what we need. What struct me was how MSNBC being a known liberal network was civil to Trump as well as the mesmerized audience. Remember in the General everyone votes of course :Dems, Republican and Independents.
He always polls worse against Hillary than Cruz.
Not always, as his message gets out his numbers go up. Trump has just about everyone one arrayed against him... but the voter. He's self funded and the Political Class hates this. Trumps self funding is his greatest appeal to me however.
so worried about his liberalism with the Supreme Court in the balance.
Cruz help give us John Roberts. So just consider that at the last debate Trump was the only candidate to suggest nominees for the scotus: Judge Diane S. Sykes and Judge Bill Pryor. Worry no longer.
please ping me if you get an answer. Missed it all myself.
Negotiate the price of Medicare, Medicaid and VA pharmacy lists.
Not private insurance. LOL
Hmmmm. Kennedy was young and was the POTUS. As the Constitution states: “Neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years.” We need someone who is not older than dirt.
Rubio is about to force Anderson off the stage.
Republicans were proposing that back in 2010 when Trump was still supporting Democrats.
Third, he said he'd leverage the huge volume of the US market in negotiating drug buys.
Drug buys for whom?
That’s simply not true ... Trump takes Obama apart in all his rallies and town halls ... and he was quite tough on Obama this evening, including: national defense and how his policies have hurt African-Americans and the job market.
Hi MLL,
You know what’s funny? Rubio himself knows it too.
That’s why he decided not to run again for his Senate seat, or so I hear.
Trump immediately retorted to Obama: "You're lucky I didn't run four years ago, you wouldn't be President right now."
If that's "soft," I only wish every other damn Republican could learn "soft" from Donald Trump.
Apparently you didn’t watch his town hall before hand. He explained that it was an honor what Obama said about him. He then explained the terrible mess our country is in because of Obama. He had more time in his town hall.
I’m not saying the person HAS to be old.
I’m just saying that the prime age to run for POTUS is in 60s.
Cruz and Rubio have lots of years ahead of them in politics, no matter what 2016 turns out to be.
Thank goodness! I heard that Gov. Scott may run for his seat but thats just a rumor.
The college loans- he pointed out it’s a racket with Federal loans and the colleges. Fedgov loans you money, you go to overpriced school that gets fed dollars, you pay back loan (if you can get a job....). He also pointed out the price has grown out of proportion (look at stats for higher ed tuition inflation you’ll see) and the big problem is government backed loans. Every lender wants to loan you money if the government pays them whether you do or not. So college price is disproportionately high. He didn’t say all of that but he made the basic point of the problem with expensive school and government back loans. He understands that drives the costs up.
Wow, that’s it, nfldgirl, that’s the word I was looking for....Hyper! It’s like he’s on some kind of drug.
But yes, you nailed it....He’s hyper. On speed.
Trump has already said, he is running the Primary election now. He needs to win that first before spending all his time attacking Obama.
Once he wins the nomination, it is game on.
That needs to change. I am particularly tired of old fogies running this country. Cruz is intelligent and can lead this country back from the brink.
So Cruz will go on at 10:00 pm Eastern.
How convenient.........
