Trump: I could shoot Americans and ‘wouldn’t lose any voters’

Araweelo News Network

IOWA-USA (ANN)Leading US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says there is not much he could possibly do to lose his support.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, on Saturday, Trump said he could gun down some Americans and still be popular among his loyal supporters.

“I have the most loyal people, did you ever see that? I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn’t lose voters,” he said.

Trump made the remarks after he denounced the National Review, the conservative magazine, which published a series of articles against the New York billionaire.

Glenn Beck and Brent Bozell, two conservative commentators who endorsed GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz, were among the writers who published essays criticizing Trump.

Trump floats lawsuit against Cruz

Trump said he might sue Cruz over whether he is eligible to run for president of the United States.

“I’ve said Ted has a lot of problems — number one, Canada. He could run for the Prime Minister of Canada and I wouldn’t even complain because he was born in Canada,” Trump joked.

“The Democrats are going to sue if he ever got the nomination within two days. There have already been two lawsuits filed, but they don’t have standing. I have standing to sue. Can you imagine if I did it? Should I do it just for fun?”

Trump added that he will defeat Cruz without the need of suing him, which is why he probably will not bring a lawsuit against him.

“It’s probably why I want to save the legal fees,” he said. “If I thought it was going to matter, maybe I would do it, maybe I wouldn’t.”

Trump extends his lead

According to a new poll, Trump has opened up a 30-point lead nationally over his rivals for the Republican nomination.

The billionaire businessman is trouncing his opponents with a 40.6 percent support, a Reuters-Ipsos tracking poll, released on Friday, has found.

Senator Cruz of Texas, his closest competitor, stood at 10.5 percent.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was the third with 9.7 percent, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was the choice of 9.2 percent of those surveyed and Florida Senator Marco Rubio received 7.2 percent support.

Although Trump is leading nationally, some polls have shown that Sen. Cruz is on top of the race in the key state of Iowa with the caucuses just days away.

A hypothetical match-up found that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and Trump are locked in a tight race nationally– 41.4 percent to 40.8 percent respectively.
