Cruz, marco rubio and Chris Christie, they mostly just went for it. Back in september, my friend donald said he had his lawyers look at this from ever which way. There was no issue there. There was nothing to this birther issue. Now, since september, the constitution hasnt changed. But the poll numbers have. Theres a big question mark on your head and you cant do that to the party. You cant. I spent my entire life defending the constitution before the u. S. Supreme court. Im not going to take legal advice from donald trump. Ted cruz, you used to say you support doubling the green cards. Now you say you are against it. I appreciate you dumping your Research Folder on the stage. Half of the things marco said are flat out false. Unfortunately, governor christie endorsed the ideas that president obama. I stood on the stage and watched marco and rather indignantly and look at governor bush and said someone told you because we are run for the same office, that criticizing me will get you to
Our democracy and cares about rule of law. Theres not going to be any particular position on a particular issue that determines whether or not i nominate them, but im em going present somebody who is indisputably qualified for the seat, and any fairminded person, even somebody who disagreed with my politics would say would serve with honor and integrity on the court. He would not give any hints about who was on his short list. He said dont jump to any conclusions about whether theyre moderates. We know that the white house has already started whittling down potential nominees. Normally this is a process that takes about a month before the president comes out and announces who his nominee is and then the ball is in the senates court. Christine and miguel . Thank you. President obama says donald trump is not ready or qualified and the American People are too sensible to elect thoim that post. Everything on climate challenge, muslims and immigration. But calling trump out by name as the c
Meet with al sharpton. Sharpton is waiting to meet with Hillary Clinton. Talking with someone familiar with sharptons thinking, he has concerns with both candidates. My understanding is that while it all sounds good, there is skepticism about whether sanders can deliver. Also misgivings about Hillary Clinton, too. Though she polls very well with minorities, there are questions about things bill clinton did as president that could affect hillarys campaign. Wounds have not healed over the rhetoric and sometimes divisive battle in 2008. Bill clinton going too far at times and signing of the welfare reform bill as president and the crime bill that led to higher rates of incarceration. Bill clinton said he regrets that, but the source said whether the Africanamerican Community will take oops, im sorry for an answer. Today, the focus on milwaukee and the latest faceoff with the candidates in that debate. John and christine. That democratic debate sponsored by pbs airs tonight on cnn and on y
Ted cruz and calling him nasty and twitter tirade. Here in New Hampshire, earlier in the day in virginia, not one word about ted cruz. We dont know why. I asked his Campaign Manager and did not get an answer. It could be because donald trump is getting blowback from conservative voices. Talk radio hosts who conservative voters really listen to. They have been saying hold on a second, donald trump. Be careful not to go after ted cruz too much from their perspective, cruz is one of them. He is a genuine conservative. If trump continues to do that, trump could risk alienating voters he might need and could potentially get. It is a different dynamic from what we are seeing in the past six months when donald trump went after lindsey graham, it hurt graham. Cruz is a different situation because the two of them are going for similar voters and have voices who are important to both of them. So it will be interesting to see later today if trump continues to kind of zip his lips, if you will, wh
Electora electorate. Trump on his fight with the pope after the pontiff criticized trump on immigration. Cnns Phil Mattingly has more from South Carolina. Reporter miguel and cristina. A day filled with clashes. Jeb bush versus marco rubio and donald trump versus the pope. I dont Like Fighting with the pope. I dont think it was a fight. I think it was reported tougher by the media. He is doing a good job. I think he was very much miss interpreted. I think he was given false information. Would you like to meet with him . I think it would be very interesting. Reporter trump, one day after sending a cease and desist letter. Would you send cease and desist letters . I would send them to china to stop ripping us off. I would send them to mexico. When i say cease and desist, maybe the equivalent. Reporter jeb bush saying the talk of his campaign failing is premature. If you look at the polls and crowd sizes and enthusiasm that exists. Reporter and taking on criticism of being an intro vert.
