SHOCKING news! A Republican Rep from Texas endorses CRUZ? Thoroughly UNEXPECTED AND SHOCKING!

I fear that the endorsement of this guy may SERIOUSLY swing the odds in the GOP's favor!



Randy Weber: US Representative Endorses Senator and GOP Candidate Ted Cruz for President
“We need a President who will march into the White House on day one with their conservative values in one hand and the Constitution in the other," Rep. Weber, R-Texas, said about his endorsement.

Carly Fiorina "hearts" some o' that good ol' fashioned Bush-Cheney terra-stoppin' torture, Stretch.

Carly Fiorina says she's okay with the CIA's waterboarding of terror suspects as a way of keeping the nation safe.

"I believe that all of the evidence is very clear — that waterboarding was used in a very small handful of cases [and] was supervised by medical personnel in every one of those cases," Fiorina told Yahoo News.

"And I also believe that waterboarding was used when there was no other way to get information that was necessary."

Fiorina also brushed off a Senate report that condemned the practice and said it produced little useful intelligence — saying it "undermined the morale of a whole lot of people who dedicated their lives to keeping the country safe."

Watch Carly Fiorina CLIMB UP THE ASS of a woman who DARES to speak to her.

Sorry in advance, but it's a Facebook link to Megyn Kelly's page...I don't know how else to get the video to you, so if following the link upsets you, don't.

But this is the same superior, imperialist, condescending attitude Meg Whitman displayed at eBay...which slaughtered her California Gubernatorial run...so my suggestion is that you blow off the fact that it's Fox and watch the video to sere and hear who this woman is:

Ben Carson's Interview With CNN's Jake Tapper Cut Short By Campaign Manager

Ben Carson's Interview With CNN's Jake Tapper Cut Short By Campaign Manager



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jake-tapper-ben-carson-interview-cut-short_56092f13e4b0768126fe00bd

Things got heated during CNN's "State Of The Union" on Sunday, when host Jake Tapper pressed Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on remarks he made recently about Muslim Americans -- that is, until Carson's campaign manager cut the interview short.

"I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," Carson said last Sunday during an interview with "Meet The Press."

Carson explained his remarks to Tapper. "I would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with Islam," he said. "If they are not willing to reject Sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the Quran -- if they are not willing to reject that, and subject that to American values and the Constitution, then of course, I would."

"Would you be willing to advocate for someone who would not do that?" he asked Tapper.

Evil Dick Redux: Trump is confident he'll be greeted as a liberator when "rounding up" immigrants

Watch Donald Trump's Contentious '60 Minutes' Interview
"We're rounding 'em up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. And they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized," Trump says of illegal immigrant plan
By Daniel Kreps September 28, 2015



http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/watch-donald-trumps-contentious-60-minutes-interview-20150928

The 48th season of 60 Minutes premiered Sunday night with Donald Trump sitting down for a contentious interview with the CBS program's managing editor Scott Pelley. The usually poised, unflappable Trump was frequently caught off-guard as Pelley questioned the Republican presidential frontrunner on the plausibility of many of his big campaign promises, from fixing the economy and saving Social Security to establishing a better universal healthcare and building his "great wall" across the Mexican border.

Throughout the interview, Pelley tried to trip up Trump with his own doublespeak. The interviewer got Trump to admit that both Republicans and Democrats disliked him, and then questioned how Trump could unify the parties in order to pass any of his big schemes into law. Trump doubled back and said, "I've gotten along with politicians my whole life. I've made a fortune on politicians," to which Pelley quipped, "You're not going to be able to buy them anymore."

The big reveal of Trump's 60 Minutes interview was his radical tax plan that would include "a substantial reduction for the middle-income people" and a zero rate for people "in the low-income brackets that are supposed to be paying taxes, [but] many of them don't anyway." Pelley reminded Trump there's a $19 trillion federal deficit, but Trump promised he's going to "grow the economy so much" by "bringing our jobs back" from overseas. As for Trump's tax raise on the upper levels of the upper class, Pelley reminded him that the Republican Party's mantra is to not raise taxes.

When Trump was asked how he plans to stop U.S. businesses from building factories in Mexico, the mogul said he'd heavily tax products coming into America from Mexico, a violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). "We will either renegotiate it or we will break it. Because, you know, every agreement has an end," Trump said of NAFTA. "Every agreement has to be fair. Every agreement has a defraud clause. We're being defrauded by all these countries." Pelley then informed Trump that free trade "is a plank of the Republican Party."

Stage Backdrop Collapses Behind Carly Fiorina During Speech

Source: NBC 5 Dallas-Ft. Worth

A curtain backdrop appeared to collapse behind Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina as she spoke in a San Antonio campaign event.

Several women were seen rushing to shield Fiorina after the bunting and curtain frame crippled, sending frame piping and cloth falling to the ground.

After Fiorina returned to the front of the stage, she immediately asked if everyone was okay – then someone yelled "Trump!"

"Trump, Hillary, it could have been lots of people," said Fiorina.

"Duck Dynasty" Dink Digs Donald. Delightful! File this under IDGAF.

'Duck Dynasty's' Willie Robertson Voices Support for Donald Trump: "I Do Like Me Some Trump"

Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson showed his support for Donald Trump at a rally on Friday night.

During Trump's visit to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City, the billionaire businessman pulled the A&E star on stage, ABC News first reported.

"Where's Willie? Where the hell is Willie? Willie, get over here! Look at this guy! Look at this guy!" Trump said calling Robertson to the stage. "Willie, do you love Trump?" the GOP candidate asked the bandana-bedecked reality star.

"I do like me some Trump, I gotta admit," Robertson said when he took the podium. "Here's the deal. We're both successful businessmen, we both have pretty big shows on television and we both have wives that are 1,000 times better looking than us. So I like Trump."

Kim Davis becomes a Republican. "I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me."



Kentucky clerk Kim Davis switching parties to become Republican

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/26/kentucky-clerk-kim-davis-switching-parties-to-become-republican/

LOUISVILLE, Ky – Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, a longtime Democrat, says she is switching to the Republican Party because she feels abandoned by Democrats in her crusade against same-sex marriage.

Davis made the announcement while in Washington, D.C., to attend the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit, said Charla Bansley, a spokeswoman for Liberty Counsel, which represents Davis in her legal battles.

"I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me," Davis said, according to Bansley.

Davis will address the conservative group Friday night.
