Donald Trump Turns Up The Heat In 2nd GOP Debate
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump stepped into the Hot Box in Wednesday’s debate as rivals turned their sights on him, and Carly Fiorina showed she had earned her place on the main stage.
10 challengers flanked Mr. Trump on the platform at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, seeking an opening against the man who has defied all political odds to lead the race for the party’s nomination ahead of the November 2016 election.
As one after the other took their shots at him Mr. Trump swiftly returned fire, further imposing himself on the race to determine who will battle the Democratic nominee, likely Hillary Clinton, for the White House next November.
The remarks near the top of the 3-hour debate kicked off several minutes of Trump-related thrusts and parries that have defined much of the 2016 presidential race.
Donald Trump was at once strong, forthright and happily charming to all commers.
Fallen frontrunner Jeb Bush was under intense pressure to deliver a breakout performance, or risk a campaign meltdown that could see them shunted aside as the 1st state nomination votes in February draw nearer. Jeb Bush’s body language revealed that he was nervous, and struggling to defend his possitions, record, and family members, including his father and brother, both former presidents.
Ms. Fiorina, the sole woman in the Republican race and the only candidate to rise from last month’s “childrens hour” debate to Wednesday’s main stage, delivered a trained bbut unleashed bulldog like coached performance, spouting memorized facts about Key issues. We all know that her business record is not sterling, and that after she was fired from HP, she ran for the Senate against Barbara Boxer (D) in California and was beaten by a landslide. Carley is not Presidential.
Donald Trump disaarmed her by saying, “I think she’s got a beautiful face, and I think she’s a beautiful woman.”
The main event’s 11 candidates clashed extensively on issues including immigration, how to handle a looming government shutdown, and dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Jeb Bush the ultimate establishment Republican, has seen his political fortunes dive in the months since Donald Trump entered the race.
The former Florida governor fenced with with Mr. Trump over speaking Spanish in the United States.
Asked what he would want his Secret Service handle to be if he were elected, Jeb Bush said “Ever-ready. It’s very high-energy, Donald.” Again, Mr. Bush was not really assertive with his corny retort.
Jeb Bush was forced into an awkward defense of his brother George W. Bush, who was president on September 11, 2001 and launched divisive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq after the terror attacks on American soil in retaliation to threats against his father by former US allies.
“There is one thing I know for sure, he kept us safe,” Jeb Bush said.
“I don’t know, do you feel safe right now?” Donald Trump replied. “I don’t feel so safe.” Jeb Bush shrunk, the audience cringed.
The Bush name is not a benefit in American politics anylonger.
His mother said not long ago she was not happy about him runnng for President, we are seeing why.
We now clearly know that the media is behind Donald Trump, he was given the lions share of the time duning the debate at 18 mins. Soon we shall see the low polling canidates dropping out because thier money is drying up.
Trumpeting for Trump
