2016 presidential campaign - Page 9

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — It’s fight night here in Milwaukee as 2016 GOP presidential candidates will debate on the Fox Business Network. This fourth 2016 GOP debate comes as Obamatrade—and specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) portion of it—moves to the center of the campaign discussion, separating the various candidates.

This is the first time Carson himself has weighed in on Obamatrade, and the move comes after his spokesman Doug Watts previously told the Wall Street Journal he was open to it. Watts told the WSJ the day after President Barack Obama’s White House released the 5,544-page, 100-pound, several-feet-high-when-printed-out trade deal that Carson “believes the agreement does help to level the playing field in key markets and is important to improve our ties to trading partners in Asia as a counterbalance to China’s influence in the region.”

GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump tells Breitbart News exclusively that his enormous success in business is the reason he’s polling more than four times better than all his opponents when it comes to GOP voters’ views on who can best handle the economy.

Several 2016 GOP presidential campaigns are now revolting, not just against the Republican National Committee (RNC) controlling the debate process, but against controversial GOP establishment lawyer Ben Ginsberg’s efforts to insert himself into the process.

Emails among campaigns meeting this evening just outside Washington, D.C., to discuss the 2016 GOP primary debate structure moving forward, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, prove that it was the campaign of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that invited highly controversial lawyer Ben Ginsberg to the gathering.

It’s the latest in a series of escalations in the open war between Rubio and Bush, a war that broke out in public on the debate stage in Boulder, Colorado, earlier this week–a round in the fight that Rubio clearly won. Now, Bush’s team is striking back harder.

As for the contenders on the debate stage, it’s not hard to pick the biggest loser of the night, for this could well be the end of Jeb Bush’s candidacy. In fact, he needs to think long and hard about getting out while his endorsement still matters, and he can still generate big headlines with his withdrawal.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) so solidified his standing as the new establishment frontrunner on Wednesday evening here in the CNBC debate that Rubio’s team wouldn’t even comment on the poor performance by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

“I’ve endorsed Donald’s 15 percent corporate tax rate many times,” Kudlow told Breitbart News in a brief interview during a commercial break.

I don’t know all the details about his entire tax program, it’s certainly moving in the right direction lowering rates but specifically on the 15 percent corporate tax rate I have argued for it for several years. And by the way, I happen to think it would grow the economy, attack capital from all over the world—China’s at 25, we’d be at 15, it would easily pay for itself. Easily. I believe it would lower the deficit. Again, I can’t speak for the whole plan—I can speak for the 15 percent corporate tax rate. He’s spot on. And I’m honored that he mentioned me. Honored.” Kudlow’s comments to Breitbart News about Trump come after an exchange in the opening part of the CNBC debate here where co-moderator John Harwood asked Trump extraordinarily contentiously about his tax plan.

The House Freedom Caucus has officially surrendered to big government by refusing to stand up against a debt-ceiling increase wrapped in the two-year budget deal.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, tells Breitbart News in an exclusive email interview that he thinks members of the House Freedom Caucus should consider withdrawing their previous support for a Speakership bid from Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unless Ryan can stop the giant budget and debt ceiling deal that’s before Congress.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton get all the headlines. Marco Rubio and Bernie Sanders get all the buzz. But Ted Cruz is running the best campaign of the any of the 19 people seeking the presidency.

He challenged congressional leaders to find courage in dealing with the current administration and judicial activism.

Carly Fiorina told those gathered at a presidential forum at a church in north Texas on Sunday, “We need a leader that will point things out to the American people.” She condemned the present administration for being silent as Christians are being persecuted, and she said she has been able to influence how Planned Parenthood and their activities are viewed.

Before a packed crowd of more than 7,000 evangelical Christians, Senator Ted Cruz asked his fellow Republican candidates where they were when it came to defunding Planned Parenthood and fighting against the Washington, D.C. cartel. Cruz was responding to a question about this election being about outsiders and fighting Washington.

At this time, it’s unclear who made the website—but it details in depth the immigration transgressions of Sen. Rubio in a way that has yet to be done on the campaign trail. As 2016 GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump marshals his forces to take on Rubio—the new Washington establishment candidate given that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s campaign is floundering—this website could become a central part of the campaign.
