Donald Trump: I Could ‘Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn’t Lose Any Voters’

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz campaigns in New Hampshire.

The senator did not offer an endorsement, but his presence underscored Mr Trump’s enduring position at the top of the polls as voting approaches. “Truly great people! Packed house- overflow!”

Traditional Republican candidates like Jeb Bush, whose father and brother have both served as president, have fallen by the wayside in the polls.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?“.

Ted Cruz (Tex.), Trump’s most competitive rival in Iowa, who has few friends in Washington and has been criticized by the political class in Iowa.

Saturday evening Cruz and Beck held another rally in Waterloo, IA that was attended by well over 1800 people.

Trump demonstrated the extent to which some in the Republican establishment have begun to accept a potential Trump nomination when Grassley introduced him at a later event in Pella. I am not sure what he’s saying there except that it is Donald Trump very confident in his standing with his supporters and one who could do and say anything and have it not affect him.

The battle between billionaire frontrunner Donald Trump and maverick Senator Ted Cruz is the main event for conservatives, who are torn with nine days to go before the Iowa caucus.

Beck called Trump “arrogant” and “dangerous” for the country.

He derided Trump as “a guy who has a bunch of strip clubs in casinos”, someone who projects nothing more than “showman faith” (he alluded to Trump’s unconventional pronunciation of 2 Corinthians).

As indicated in Trump’s tweet, the Glenn Beck endorsement is seen by some as a counter to Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump earlier this week.

Trump has repeatedly touted his strong support for the Second Amendment and slammed President Barack Obama’s recent use of executive orders to expand the reach of background checks needed to purchase a gun.

“Listen, I like Donald Trump“, Cruz said, who is locked in a close race with Trump in the opening presidential contest.

But Cruz shrugged off Trump’s shooting comment when asked.

Jill Kozeny, Grassley’s chief of staff, told the Post that he will not endorse anyone in the Iowa caucus.

“The same thing thatis going to win this football game in the fourth quarter is the same thing that would’ve won it in the first quarter”, said Steve Deace, a conservative radio host backing Cruz.

But it’s not enough to be a charismatic and successful businessman, she said.
