DONALD TRUMP: Obama Is the Worst Thing That Ever Happened to Israel (Video)

Jim Hoft Oct 27th, 2015 8:06 pm 32 Comments

Obama has willfully lied about Israel during the recent uprising by Palestinian terrorists.

In September Democrats approved Barack Obama’s sham nuclear deal with Iran that gives the terrorist regime over $100 billion to wage war in the region. Israel said the deal was a historic mistake.

Tuesday night at a massive rally in Sioux City, Iowa, Donald Trump told the crowd Obama was the worst thing to ever happen to Israel.

We will support Israel 1,000%. (applause) Israel feels so left alone. And I know Bibi and a lot of my friends are from Israel and I know they feel so left out. And, so many people say, I have Jewish friends that say, “Why did I support Obama?” I think he’s the worst thing that ever happened to Israel. And we will support Israel beyond anything they’ve ever had before. Ok?

Reporter: HUGE Trump Rally in Sioux City Sets ‘Gold Standard’ for Presidential Campaigns

Kristinn Taylor Oct 27th, 2015 7:20 pm 104 Comments

The polls may show support in Iowa slipping for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, but Tuesday night in Sioux City Trump set the “gold standard” for presidential campaign rally attendance according to a local reporter with an enthusiastic crowd of 2,200 (updated to near capacity of 2,375). Attendance for other candidates in Sioux City has been in the low hundreds.

Sioux City Journal reporter Bret Hayworth made the ‘gold standard’ observation from the rally site of West High School on Twitter when the early crowd estimate was just 1,250.

“Several @IowaGOP candidates in Sioux City this year have drawn 200-plus crowds. This Trump event with 1,250 is new gold standard. #iacaucus”

“.@realDonaldTrump crowd count at Sioux City west High is 1,250. Can hold 2,500 in gym venue. Music blasting, crowd energized. #iacaucus @SCJ”

Omaha World Herald reporter Robynn Tysver said on Twitter the fire marshal estimated the crowd at 2,100 with more on their way in the room.

“Sioux City Fire Marshal says there’s a little over 2,100 people in the audience for Trump, and they’re continuing to come in.”

Hayworth later put the crowd at 2,200.

“.@realDonaldTrump tells 2,200 in Sioux City school: “I’ve gotten to the point that I have to be braggadocious.” @SCJ #iacaucus”

Hayworth also noted the protesters outside the Trump rally numbered around 650 which would be about half the number that was expected to turn out for the pro-illegal immigration protest.

UPDATE: Latest crowd number from the fire marshall is 2,375 from Washington Post reporter Jenna Johnson.

“Fire marshal’s crowd count at Donald Trump’s rally in Sioux City tonight: 2,375.”

Johnson also posted a photo from one of the rally’s more emotional moments.

Five things to watch in tonight’s Republican tilt

 

By Jesse Byrnes - 10/28/15 06:00 AM EDT

BOULDER, Colo. — Republican candidates for the White House will face off for the third time in a debate broadcast by CNBC on Wednesday night.

The battle hosted in the Coors Events Center at the University of Colorado Boulder will focus on the economy.

ADVERTISEMENT

Here’s a look at five things to watch:

1. Trump vs. Carson

The most striking storyline heading into the debate revolves around Donald Trump and Ben Carson, the front-runners for the GOP nomination.

Trump’s integral sell — that he’s a winner — is under threat from Carson, who has surpassed the business mogul in several polls. Carson also topped Trump in a national poll released Tuesday by CBS News and The New York Times.

Carson said Sunday that he won’t “get into the mud pit” when engaging the real estate tycoon but is sure to face a barrage of attacks from Trump as the pair stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the middle of the stage.

Trump has also injected religion into the GOP race over the weekend, questioning Carsons Seventh-day Adventist faith. The retired neurosurgeon has so far brushed off the attack.

2. Will Carson get specific?

GOP strategists say Carson may need to offer more policy specifics, given his recent struggle to explain issues such as raising the debt limit.

His soft-spoken and conversational approach has been a hit with voters — his favorability ratings are through the roof.

But Carson needs to answer a key question, says GOP strategist Ford O’Connell: “Can they see him in the Oval Office?”

“Just being likable is not enough. He’s now going to have to be credible,” agreed Matt Mackowiak, another strategist.

Solidifying his support in areas outside Iowa will require that Carson sell himself as a substantial presidential candidate with a mind for economic policies.

3. Jeb Bush seeks to stand out

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is restructuring his campaign, and Wednesday’s debate comes at a critical time for the former front-runner.

Bush needs a strong performance to give new life to his campaign, and his supporters think the economic battleground could be good for him.

Strategists say Bush needs to offer crisp, thoughtful answers on the economy, but he also needs to avoid sounding too wonky as he seeks to win over voters.

Bush also may want to take a swipe at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a former mentee who many now see as the top establishment candidate.

At a meeting of Bush donors over the weekend in Houston, supporters unfavorably compared Rubio to President Obama, another first-term senator who swiftly ran for president.

4. Rubio and Fiorina moving in different directions

Marco Rubio and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina both surged after the last debate in mid-September, but only Rubio has seen a sustained climb in the polls.

After a well-reviewed debate performance in September, Fiorina has seen her standing in polls deteriorate. Unlike Trump and Carson, she is being seen as more of a flash in the pan.

If Fiorina is to rise for a second time, she needs to stand out on the debate stage.

"The three non-elected candidates – Trump, Carson and Fiorina – I think there's a lot of fascination [with them] in the state, just as there is across the country," Dick Wadhams, a Republican consultant and former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, told The Hill.

"I also think Marco Rubio is certainly someone who could do well [in the debate]," Wadhams said, voicing uncertainty about whether Bush's performance so far in the campaign has resonated with Republicans. 

Rubio has benefitted from slow but steady growth, yet he remains far behind Trump and Carson. His campaign wants to peak later in the primary, and he’ll hope to add a third strong debate performance to his record on Wednesday.

5. Can someone else stand out?

Five other candidates will be on stage during the main debate: Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Cruz seems the best positioned. His polling has ticked up in Iowa, where many believe he could contend in the Iowa caucuses.

Along with Paul and Rubio, Cruz may make the pending budget deal on Capitol Hill a big part of his night. It’s an opportunity to buttress his image as a force for change in Washington.

Bush faces high stakes with third debate

 

By Jesse Byrnes and Jonathan Easley - 10/27/15 08:35 PM EDT

BOULDER, Colo. — Jeb Bush faces high stakes at Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate on the heels of a wholesale restructuring of his campaign, which is slashing payroll and refocusing the former front-runner’s efforts on the New Hampshire primary.

Bush desperately needs a strong debate performance to install confidence in his campaign and to change its narrative.

 

“Jeb’s in a little bit of a viscous cycle,” said Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak. “The media are writing about how bad things are, which impacts donors, which impacts media. He’s got to find a way to break that cycle.”

Bush has sought to allay concerns by meeting with top donors in Houston over the weekend. The campaign highlighted its deep establishment support and financial strength as evidence that Bush can still emerge victorious.

The campaign also pointed to history, arguing that insurgent candidates such as Donald Trump and Ben Carson may still fall by the wayside as primary voters zero in on the contest.

Yet it is also clear that Bush’s campaign is in danger, and Trump, his main adversary this summer and fall, has been circling him like a shark.

On Wednesday night, Bush will no longer be at center stage, which will instead be occupied by Trump and Carson. Those two insurgent candidates are leading polls nationally as well as in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Rand Paul vows to filibuster budget deal

By Jesse Byrnes

 

Francis Rivera

 

DENVER – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday said he would filibuster a bipartisan budget bill currently making its way through the Capitol.

 

"This is exactly the opposite of what every conservative Republican in America wants, and I'm going to do everything I can to stop it," the Republican presidential candidate told The Hill.

 

"I will filibuster it, I'll delay it, I'll shout about it. I'm going to talk about it until I'm tired of talking about it and until people wake up and say this is wrong for the country," he added.

 

 

The House is poised Wednesday to approve a two-year government funding bill that raises the spending caps set in 2011 while avoiding a potential default on U.S. loans.

 

The Senate must approve the legislation before it heads to President Obama's desk. 

 

The legislation’s discretionary spending increase — by $112 billion over the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years — is drawing criticism from many Republican advocacy groups. 

 

"I think raising the debt ceiling with no limit is absurd, wrong, a recipe for unlimited spending," Paul told The Hill following a campaign rally in Denver, a day before the third GOP presidential debate Wednesday night.

 

"I think busting the budget caps is exactly the wrong thing we should do," he added. "We should use the leverage of the debt ceiling to try to get spending reform, not give up on spending reform."

 

Paul was asked about other GOP presidential candidates such as Ben Carson, who has said he would focus on debt ceiling issue earlier in the process in order to avoid risking a potential default. 

 

"I'm going to do exactly what I said," Paul said, adding that he was threatening to filibuster the legislation "because I think the number one threat to the country is the debt."
