But now in these tweets, donald trump sending out a series of them this morning. First one saying, quote, this is the first time in my life that i have caused controversy by not saying something. Next, if someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president , do you really think he would come to my rescue . And this next one seems to me the closest to an explanation that trump gives as to why he handled that moment the way he did saying, if i would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that mans right of free speech. A nowin situation, he says. And lastly, the tweet saying, christians need support in our country and around the world. Their religious liberty is at stake. Obama has been horrible. I will be great. Its important to note, again, exactly what he didnt say. Hes not disputing these allegations by the man, that New Hampshire voter, alleging that president obamas a muslim, alleging that president obama is not an america
President ial debate. Lets go to David Axelrod first. Youre a former Senior Adviser to president obama. What do you think did Hillary Clinton, some pundits are suggesting, did she miss an opportunity tonight to stand out given her experience as a secretary of state . You know, it was interesting to me, normally shes being attacked for being too political. I think in this moment she was really thinking like a person who might become president of the United States. She was very tempered in her answers because of that. It may have been in the short run not to her political benefit, but it may be to her credit in the long run that she took that posture.

Thats a direct reference to the president. Saying that isis was contained. And also pointing out th
Literally. Angry, lifelong republicans apparently torching their party cards in protest but today establishment leaders like New Hampshire senator kelly ayotte says she will put party first. Bernie sanders vowing to stick around. He won indiana but still trails by more than 300 delegates. That means Hillary Clinton has to fight on two fronts now. Covering the campaign reaction from the east coast to the west coast and all points in between we start, though, with sources saying that kasich is suspending his campaign. Kelly odonnell, perhaps the only correspondent thats followed all of these at one point or another. What are your sources telling you . Reporter ive been to a lot of john kasich events and this is a day he hoped would not comp. As a sitting governor with no viable path to the nomination at this point, it is the prudent move for kasich to suspend his campaign. Also his resources in terms of money were beginning to dwindle and there wasnt a credible case to say he should stay
it had been billed months ago as a celebration, a gathering in houston of jeb bush s big donors where they would have a chance to mingle and take pictures with a pair of former presidents who also just happen to be jeb s father and brother. instead, that closed-door conference, which wrapped up today with remarks by george w. bush, is being cast as something more like a funeral for jeb s floundering campaign. now, bush still has plenty of advantages in his quest for the gop presidential nomination, a marquee name, access to a massive donor network, a well-funded super pac, and more endorsements than any other republican candidate. but if the bushes and their backers once expected a coronation, well, what they ve gotten thus far is closer to a catastrophe, and they know it. the patient is either in intensive care and in need of some good doctors who can save him or being put into hospice and we re going to see a slow death, one k street lobbyist backing bush told politico. a b
