US presidential candidates Cruz, Perry head for Vegas to woo Donors

April 25, 2015 By Doyle Buehler Leave a Comment

 

US presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Rick Perry have headed for Las Vegas for seeking support of the Jewish donors for their White House bid in the 2016 election.

According to the political analysts, Cruz and Perry will leave no stone unturned to explain their loyalty to the political defense of Israel. They will also woo the donors by showing their opposition against the government policies related to nuclear Iran set by President Barack Obama’s administration.

The reports show that the donor groups are divided over Bush, Cruz, Rubio and Walker, and the buildup of consensus appears difficult in the future.

Republican Jewish Coalition spokesperson Mark McNulty said that the Jewish donors are not only considering their support for Israel but also their effort as well as commitment in the face of the poll.

Among all the candidates, Cruz has been most consistent in backing Israel.

At the Republican Jewish Coalition Spring Leadership Meeting, Republican super-donor Sheldon Adelson will emerge as the most coveted prizes.

Both Cruz and Perry will try to prove their longstanding support for Israel. They will also attempt to underscore their skepticism towards Obama’s nuclear agreements with Iran.

At Saturday’s meeting, both Cruz and Perry will get a golden opportunity to address the potential donors and make a strong pitch for their candidature in their appeal to prominent Jewish donors nationwide.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and former New York Governor George Pataki will be the other Republicans having presidential aspirations to attend the event.

Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee considering 2016 presidential bid

April 9, 2015 By Doyle Buehler Leave a Comment

Former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee on Thursday revealed his mind that he is mulling over contesting the White House election in 2016.

With the so-called announcement, Chafee has become the first Democratic leader to publicly challenge the probable front-runner of his own party for the presidency Hillary Clinton, who is expected to announce her bid this month.

“Throughout my career, I exercised good judgment on a wide range of high-pressure decisions, decisions that require level-headedness and careful foresight… Often these decisions came in the face of political adversity,” Chafee said in a released statement.

Chafee also announced that he had formed an exploratory committee to consider his run for the White House bid in 2016.

Chafee has served eight years as a Republican in the US Senate. He then chose to change his party affiliation to independent when he had decided to run for the post of Rhode Island governor in 2010. During his last year in office in 2013, Chafee clubbed hands with the Democratic Party.

In 1999, Chafee was appointed to the Senate for the first time after the death of his father, John Chafee, in office. He was elected to a six-year term in 2000. In 2006, Chafee lost a re-election bid to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse.

In 2010, his first run for governor was successful but he had opted out of a second term.

Rand Paul leads Hillary Clinton in 2016 US presidential poll

April 9, 2015 By Carrie Davis 2 Comments

2014-11-07-HILLARYCLINTON2

A new poll survey has showed Democrat Hillary Clinton slipping against the influential Republican presidential candidates in Iowa, Colorado and Virginia.

The Quinnipiac University Swing State survey, which was released on Thursday, showed that the former secretary of state is in a close race with Senator Rand Paul but the recent controversy over her private email servers has damaged her presidential prospects against the Republican bigwigs.

Kentucky Republican Paul had declared his candidacy for the presidential election on Tuesday.

Clinton, who has still not announced her White House bid and is likely to make the same this month, is associated with all the Republican candidates in Colorado and Iowa, according to the poll.

Peter Brown, who was behind the poll, said, “It isn’t just one or two Republicans who are stepping up; it’s virtually the whole GOP field that is running better against Clinton since the last swing state survey on February 18.”

According to Brown, the drop in Clinton’s chances is due to the controversy in March triggered over her use of personal email server for official work when she was holding the post of America’s top diplomat. Republican leaders have increased the prospect of congressional hearings over the matter.

In Colorado, Paul led Clinton by a significant 44-41 percent. On the other hand, Paul managed to make a lead over Clinton by 43 percent to 42 percent in Iowa and by 47 percent to 43 percent in Virginia.

The poll showed a bright spot for the Democratic leader in Virginia, where she led all her Republican counterparts, including prominent Republican face and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, whom she led with 47 percent to 40 percent, as compared to a 42-42 percent tie in February.

The telephonic survey, which was conducted between March 29 and April 7, involved 2,803 likely voters. The poll had an error margin of 3.3 points in Colorado and 3.2 percentage points in Virginia and Iowa.

Ted Cruz woos voters for his presidential bid, says ‘I’ll tell truth’

March 24, 2015 By Stephanie James

A day after Texas Senator Ted Cruz became the first political leader to officially announce his presidential bid for 2016, the Republican wooed voters saying he tell the truth, if elected to power.

“My plan is to speak the truth and to defend the common-sense conservative values. I’ll tell the truth and I’ll do what I said I would do,” Cruz said in a response to a question that why he should be president during an interview to “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday.

Cruz, who is one of most conservative Republicans among the potential presidential candidates, said that his election campaign won’t be about just proving that he’s the most conservative.

Ted+Cruz+2012+Republican+National+Convention+8eS0uX0i0ipl“I think millions of Americans recognize the path we’re on, it isn’t working. They’re in fact looking for a change that they want to get back to free-market principles,” Cruz said.

He underscored his moral achievements claiming he has “basic values” which includes working towards not bankrupting the next generation, living within the means, and last but not the least religiously following the Constitution. These are not necessarily the most conservative values, he said.

If Cruz wins the presidential race, he would be facing a host of challenges related to the country’s foreign policy, including upspring of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

According to him, the country requires more “seriousness” to destroy the ISIS group and handle the issue militarily.

President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, also dragged attention of Cruz as he talked about how he would replace the healthcare law, a sentiment which is shared among the GOP the most.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Monday officially declared his presidential campaign to a large crowd comprising of students and teachers at a Christian university in Lynchburg.

Addressing the vast audience at the Liberty University, the Texas Senator called himself a “courageous conservative” who is ready to lead the country remarkably in the right direction by getting rid of the health care law, national education standards and the Internal Revenue Service.

“I am honored to stand with each and every one of you courageous conservatives as we come together to reclaim the promise of America. This is our fight. The answer will not come from Washington,” Cruz said during his speech.

He is the first Republican candidate to officially announce his presidential campaign for 2016.

The Texas Republican had already revealed his presidential ambitions online early Monday at micro-blogging site Twitter at 12:09 am.

“I’m running for President and I hope to earn your support!,” he said in his tweet.

The official announcement is being seen as an early move by any Republican, starting a primary-election debate over how far the party must go in order to claim victory in the race to the White House.

On Monday, Cruz has not only announced his presidential bid but has also unveiled a new website with the slogan “Courageous Conservatives: Reigniting the Promise of America” in order to launch his campaign in a power pact manner.

Republican Senator of Texas, Ted Cruz, is expected to reveal his mind over running for presidential election in 2016 on Monday, according to media report.

Citing top advisers to the Texas senator, a Houston Chronicle report said that Cruz will be launching his presidential bid completely without opting for the traditional path of forming the exploratory committee.

With the announcement, Cruz would become the first Republican leader to officially declare his presidential candidature for contesting the 2016 election in the US.

The leading conservative, who was elected to the Senate in the year 2012, is also scheduled to address the gathering at Liberty University in Virginia on Monday.

Last weekend, Cruz was on a visit to politically important New Hampshire. According to the political analysts, the state is very significant for the presidential runners due to its early primary.

Cruz had also visited Iowa, another major early state, eyeing to woo the supporters.

Last week, Cruz has reportedly said that he has been receiving “very encouraging” support from the people for his presidential run.

The Texas Senator aims at raising between USD 40 million and USD 50 million over the course of the primary campaign, according to a media report.
