[h=6]- FEBRUARY 05, 2016 -[/h][h=1]​DONALD J. TRUMP UNVEILS NEW RADIO AD FEATURING SOUTH CAROLINA LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HENRY MCMASTER[/h](New York, NY) February 5th, 2015 - Today Donald J. Trump debuted a new radio ad featuring South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster. The ad will begin airing today in South Carolina. Last week Mr. Trump received McMaster’s endorsement. The Lt. Gov. previously served as South Carolina Attorney General, South Carolina Republican Party Chairman, and was the first United States Attorney appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

The new ad focuses on key issues of Mr. Trump’s campaign including homeland security, job creation and Mr. Trump’s leadership and strength.

Lt. Gov. McMaster joined Mr. Trump at his rally in Lexington County, South Carolina last week, where there were thousands in attendance, to voice his support.

He said, “I am delighted to support Donald Trump.  He is a man of accomplishment and speaks the truth in words everyone can understand, instills confidence in the people about our country’s bright future, and reflects and believes in the strength and determination necessary for success.  These qualities - and his quiet compassion for those in need - are essential to making America Great Again.  Now is the time for Donald Trump.”

Mr. Trump will be in Florence this evening for a rally with a record crowd expected to attend. The Trump Campaign continues to dominate in South Carolina with all recent polls showing Mr. Trump with substantial, double digit leads in all state polls and great momentum as the February 20th primary contest approaches.

[h=6]- FEBRUARY 07, 2016 -[/h][h=1]HOW DONALD TRUMP HELPED SAVE NEW YORK CITY[/h]New York Post
Long before Donald Trump stamped his name in gold on buildings around the world, posted snarky midnight tweets and joined the race for the White House, he was New York’s most important and bravest real-estate developer.
Whatever you think about his political views or crazy campaign, Trump doesn’t get enough credit for being a transformative planner who is in love with the city.
No matter how many times they watch “Taxi Driver,” younger New Yorkers and older ones who arrived recently have no idea of what the city was actually like in the mid-1970s through the mid-’90s. Notwithstanding Studio 54 and a short-lived Wall Street boom, the metropolis was reeling. Rampant street crime, AIDS, corporate flight and physical decay brought confidence to an all-time low.
Trump waded into a landscape of empty Fifth Avenue storefronts, the dust-bowl mugging ground that was Central Park and a Wall Street area seemingly on its last legs as companies moved out.
Except in Battery Park City, which was then as remote as an offshore island, few other developers built anything but plain-vanilla office and apartment buildings. Trump — almost by force of will — rode to the rescue. Expressing rare faith in the future, he was instrumental in kick-starting the regeneration of neighborhoods and landmarks almost given up for dead.
Many of his brainstorms were ahead of their time. Some — like his struggle beginning in the early 1970s to build what’s now called Riverside South — were so far ahead, it can be hard to connect the dots between Trump’s works and the neighborhood transformations they spawned and inspired years later.
His brick-and-mortar milestones are lost on those who know him mainly as a cartoonish TV personality, or are weary of his self-promotion and his omnipresent name on hotels, golf courses and casinos around the world.
Trump himself is largely to blame for being a prophet without honor in his home city. He grew weary of the risky, time-consuming development grind and started selling his name to just about any developer willing to sign a check. The result was horrible projects like the Trump Soho Hotel which he neither built nor owns.
His disastrous foray into Atlantic City casinos — Why, Donald? — his tacky promotion of China-made shirts and ties among other goofy ventures further cheapened his name.
The regrettable result is that Trump’s true legacy is obscured in pointless scrutiny of what he “really owns” and schadenfreude over setbacks such as losing the Plaza Hotel and the Riverside South complex which he brought into being. (Trump was a better developer than he was a dealmaker, his books on the subject to the contrary.)
A more enlightened yardstick would measure what Trump created and how the projects lifted all boats around them. It’s time to commemorate them before he’s lost to the presidency — or to the mercy of late-night TV comedians.
Here’s a look at Trump’s game-changing Manhattan monuments and their legacies.

1. Riverside South, 1997-2004
Trump’s least-appreciated accomplishment, the 16-building complex including a new public park along the Hudson River from West 59th-72nd streets is too often called a Trump failure. He scaled down his original master plan over community opposition; he needed partners to bankroll it; and then, deep in debt, sold out to other developers. But Trump created Riverside South, home to over 10,000 people on a former rail yard site. He acquired land rights in the 1970s; finessed a zoning change from development-averse mayor David Dinkins in 1992; and built the site’s first seven towers. They’re emblazoned with his name for good reason.

2. Trump International Hotel and Tower, Columbus Circle, 1995-97
This was the first project to reclaim Columbus Circle from the vagrants. The hated former Gulf + Western Building needed a new skin and a new image. The owners tapped Trump to figure out how. His gleaming glass facade and all-new interior yielded an Upper West Side gateway edifice. Luxury condos sold out, the hotel was hailed as among the city’s best, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s flagship restaurant drew gourmands from around the world. Its success paved the way for Time Warner Center and the Museum of Arts and Design.

3. Wollman Skating Rink, Central Park, 1986
Although the Central Park Conservancy had begun to restore ruined sections of the crime-ridden park, the long-closed ice rink remained a gaping black hole. The city couldn’t finish it after six years of work, and there was no end in sight. Trump rebuilt it in a few months in part to embarrass his nemesis, Mayor Ed Koch. But its impact transcended personality by drawing families and kids to the heart of the park’s “postcard” southern end.

4. 40 Wall Street, purchased by Trump in 1995
The landmark Art Deco masterpiece was a vacant, ruined hulk when Trump bought it for a token $1 million. Companies were fleeing the financial district’s obsolete old towers at the time. Trump’s restoration and marketing savvy swiftly drew tenants — an inspiration that helped put the area back on its feet in the years before 9/11.

5. Trump Plaza, 167 E. 61st St., completed 1984
Third Avenue north of Bloomingdale’s was a lost highway of tenements and boxy, bland apartment buildings after the el was torn down in the 1950s. Trump’s 39-story, trefoil-shaped co-op tower of limestone, glass and shimmering bronze boasted a welcoming retail base which respected the classic Manhattan “street wall” — repudiating pedestrian-hostile setback design which was then in vogue. It inspired four more similarly configured towers on the avenue and lent some badly needed class to uptown east of Lexington Avenue.

6. Trump World Tower, 845 United Nations Plaza, opened 2001
The condo spire rising 90 stories on First Avenue near the UN was at first detested for its height (and for blocking neighbors’ views). But the bronze glass monolith earned praise from architectural critics. Its impact went beyond looks. Its creative merger of property lots zoned for different uses was unprecedented at the time. Its appeal to the globetrotting rich presaged era-defining later projects like 15 Central Park West and 432 Park Ave.

7. Trump Tower, Fifth Avenue at 56th Street, opened 1983
As the city descended into an abyss of crime and corporate flight, nobody thought of erecting a new skyscraper on Fifth Avenue — except Trump. It was the first Manhattan tower to combine three different uses: condo apartments, office floors and a shopping atrium. An immediate hit with the public, it shone as a beacon of hope for “the world’s greatest shopping street,” which was increasingly full of phony antique dealers and empty storefronts. Trump’s vision would be vindicated years later when the avenue recaptured its old glory.

8. Grand Hyatt Hotel, 109 E. 42nd St., 1979-80
An X-rated “massage parlor” stood in the lobby of the gloomy Commodore Hotel — symptomatic of East 42nd Street’s decline. Trump, the hotel project’s prime mover, replaced the brick facade with curtain-wall glass, designed a modern high-end hotel inside and made it attractive for tourism and business. It arrested the street’s tailspin and set the stage for Grand Central Terminal’s restoration in the 1990s.

[h=6]- FEBRUARY 07, 2016 -[/h][h=1]POLL: TRUMP’S LEAD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE GROWS, WHILE SANDERS’ EDGE SHRINKS[/h]CNN
Donald Trump holds a growing lead in New Hampshire, according to the latest CNN/WMUR tracking poll, while on the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders' still-wide lead is a bit smaller.
Overall, 33% of likely Republican primary voters say they back Trump, giving him a 17-point edge. After seeing his lead shrink to 11 points following a second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, Trump once again more than doubles the support of his nearest competitor, Marco Rubio.
The race for second place has tightened once again, with the slight edge Rubio appeared to grab following his third-place finish in Iowa shrinking. Overall, 16% back Rubio, 14% Ted Cruz, 11% John Kasich, 7% Jeb Bush, 6% Carly Fiorina, 4% Chris Christie and 2% Ben Carson.
The poll was completed as Saturday night's debate in New Hampshire was getting underway, and the results do not reflect reactions to the debate itself.
Though support for both Cruz and Rubio is within the margin of error of where they were immediately post-Iowa, what had been a five-point gap between the two has narrowed to two points, suggesting the race for second place in New Hampshire is about as close as it was before Iowa.
It's unclear when voters will make a final decision, as several nights of tracking have shown few shifts in the share who say they've made up their minds. A sizable 30% of likely GOP voters say they are still trying to decide whom to support, down just four points since the immediate post-Iowa numbers.
These results represent the most recent four nights of interviewing in the tracking poll. The University of New Hampshire's Survey Center, which completed the interviews, will be calling voters Sunday and Monday, and CNN and WMUR will release an update to the numbers again on Monday evening.
Two-thirds of likely Republican primary voters say they expect a Trump win Tuesday, up a tick since immediately post-Iowa, and slightly fewer now say they've ruled out a vote for Trump: 30% would not vote for Trump now, down from 37% who said so just after Iowa.
Over on the Democratic side, Sanders holds 58% among likely Democratic primary voters, well ahead of Clinton's 35%. That's a tighter race than right after Iowa, when the poll suggested Sanders led Clinton by a 2-to-1 margin.
And despite Sanders' far-wider lead, the sense of inevitability among likely Democratic voters that he will win is about the same as the expectations game on the Republican side for Trump: 66% say they think Sanders will win compared with 21% who see a Clinton victory as likely.
The CNN/WMUR poll was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center by telephone from February 3-6. The poll includes interviews with a random sample of 953 adult residents of New Hampshire, including 406 who say they plan to vote in the Democratic presidential primary and 362 who plan to vote in the Republican presidential primary. For results among the sample of likely Democratic primary voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, it is 5.2 for likely Republican primary voters.

(Written by a Trump supporter) I'm 19 years old. I have been on my own since 16. I was dumb and dropped out of high school and got my GED. Left my parents home with $300 I had. Because of my childish decisions it has been hard. But you know what? I never asked for hand outs. Never applied for government help. I have a job where I work 40 hours a week. I bought a brand new car in my own name. I have my apartment in my own name. I have my own health insurance. Was I dumb to leave? Yes. Does having a GED make it harder? Yes. But I work as hard as I can. And I am happy. I don't ask for help and I don't look for sympathy. THAT is how it should be. #Trump2016

On Monday, Donald Trump held a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, where hemerrily repeated a woman in the crowd who called Ted Cruz a pussy. Twenty-four hours later Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide.
I'm not here to clutch my pearls over Trump's vulgarity; what was telling, rather, was the immaturity of the moment, the glee Trump took in his "she-said-it-I-didn't" game. The media, which has grown used to covering Trump as a sideshow, delighted in the moment along with him — it was funny, and it meant clicks, takes, traffic. But it was more than that. It was the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president showing off the demagogue's instinct for amplifying the angriest voice in the mob.
It is undeniably enjoyable watching Trump. He's red-faced, discursive, funny, angry, strange, unpredictable, and real. He speaks without filter and tweets with reckless abandon. The Donald Trump phenomenon is a riotous union of candidate ego and voter id. America's most skilled political entertainer is putting on the greatest show we've ever seen.
It's so fun to watch that it's easy to lose sight of how terrifying it really is.
Trump is the most dangerous major candidate for president in memory. He pairs terrible ideas with an alarming temperament; he's a racist, a sexist, and a demagogue, but he's also a narcissist, a bully, and a dilettante. He lies so constantly and so fluently that it's hard to know if he even realizes he's lying. He delights in schoolyard taunts and luxuriates in backlash.
509122652.jpg
Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTrump is in serious contention to win the Republican presidential nomination. His triumph in a general election is unlikely but it is far from impossible. He's not a joke and he's not a clown. He's a man who could soon be making decisions of war and peace, who would decide which regulations are enforced and which are lifted, who would be responsible for nominating Supreme Court Justices and representing America in the community of nations. This is not political entertainment. This is politics.
Trump's path to power has been unnerving. His business is licensing out his own name as a symbol of opulence. He has endured bankruptcies and scandal by bragging his way out of them. He rose to prominence in the Republican Party as a leader of the birther movement. He climbed to the top of the polls in this election by calling Mexicans rapists and killers. He defended a poor debate performance by accusing Megyn Kelly of being on her period. He responded to rival Ted Cruz's surge by calling for a travel ban on Muslims. When two of his supporters attacked a homeless man and said they did it because "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported," he brushed off complaints that he's inspiring violence by saying his supporters are "very passionate."
Behind Trump's success is an unerring instinct for harnessing anger, resentment, and fear. His view of the economy is entirely zero-sum — for Americans to win, others must lose. "We're going to make America great again," he said in his New Hampshire victory speech, "but we're going to do it the old fashioned way. We're going to beat China, Japan, beat Mexico at trade. We're going to beat all of these countries that are taking so much of our money away from us on a daily basis. It's not going to happen anymore."
Trump answers America's rage with more rage. As the journalist Molly Ball observed, "All the other candidates say 'Americans are angry, and I understand.' Trump says, 'I’M angry.'" Trump doesn't offer solutions so much as he offers villains. His message isn't so much that he'll help you as he'll hurt them.
509278950.jpg
Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTrump's other gift — the one that gets less attention, but is perhaps more important — is his complete lack of shame. It's easy to underestimate how important shame is in American politics. But shame is our most powerful restraint on politicians who would find success through demagoguery. Most people feel shame when they're exposed as liars, when they're seen as uninformed, when their behavior is thought cruel, when respected figures in their party condemn their actions, when experts dismiss their proposals, when they are mocked and booed and protested.
Trump doesn't. He has the reality television star's ability to operate entirely without shame, and that permits him to operate entirely without restraint. It is the single scariest facet of his personality. It is the one that allows him to go where others won't, to say what others can't, to do what others wouldn't.
Trump lives by the reality-television trope that he's not here to make friends. But the reason reality-television villains always say they're not there to make friends is because it sets them apart, makes them unpredictable and fun to watch. "I'm not here to make friends" is another way of saying "I'm not bound by the social conventions of normal people." The rest of us are here to make friends, and it makes us boring, gentle, kind.
This, more than his ideology, is why Trump genuinely scares me. There are places where I think Trump's instincts are an improvement on the Republican field. He seems more dovish than neoconservatives like Marco Rubio, and less dismissive of the social safety net than libertarians like Rand Paul. But those candidates are checked by institutions and incentives that hold no sway over Trump; his temperament is so immature, his narcissism so clear, his political base so unique, his reactions so strange, that I honestly have no idea what he would do — or what he wouldn't do.
When MSNBC's Joe Scarborough asked Trump about his affection for Vladimir Putin, who "kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries," Trump replied, "He's running his country, and at least he's a leader, unlike what we have in this country." Later, he clarified that he doesn't actually condone killing journalists, but, he warnedthe crowd, "I do hate them."
It's a lie that if you put a frog into a pot of water and slowly turn up the heat the frog will simply boil, but it's a fact that if you put the American political system in a room with Trump for long enough we slowly lose track of how noxious he is, or we at least run out of ways to keep repeating it.
But tonight is a night to repeat it. There is something scary in Donald Trump. We should fear his rise.

But with his New Hampshire victory, Mr Trump has finally proven his status as a serious contender in the presidential race and goes on to South Carolina without a clear rival for the Republican nomination.


[h=1]Donald Trump proves he is serious with huge win in New Hampshire[/h][h=2]After months of bold claims and colourful insults, maverick property mogul stuns opponents with clear victory, upending Republican politics[/h]

By Ruth Sherlock, US editor, in Manchester, New Hampshire.




Donald Trump savoured the first victory of his unprecedented political career on Tuesday night, winning the New Hampshire primary with his provocative and unruly presidential campaign

After suffering defeat in Iowa, Mr Trump recovered with a barn-storming victory in this state, cementing his position as the Republican front-runner in the presidential race and upending Republican party politics as we know it.

[SUB]

Mr Trump played the conventional politician in the first few seconds of his victory speech by congratulating his rivals, but then quickly reverted to loud-mouthed showman, denigrating Bernie Sanders, the Democratic contender as a man "who wants to give away our country".

He told the excited audience that together they were going to, "Make America great again," and that they were going to "do it the old-fashioned way", by "beating China and Japan" in the global economy.












But there has been nothing "old fashioned" about the campaign that Mr Trump has run in the past six months.
With his private jets, glamorous women, and brash on-camera appearances, the real-estate mogul seemed to be taking part in a reality-television show rather than the American presidential race.
His parody approach and pitchfork populism have touched a vein in anAmerican society that is furious and disappointed in the Washington politics of old.
In handing Mr Trump the win by such a large margin - ahead 20 percentage points with the vast majority of votes counted - New Hampshire voters have upended the Republican party from the inside out, stomping on its traditional values and sparking fear among its establishment elite.
Maverick candidates have been a staple of American presidential races. Herman Cain, another outsider business executive, enjoyed a flurry of popularity in the 2012 election, but dropped out before winning any primary or caucus. Ultimately, the establishment candidate has always gone on to win in recent races.
It had seemed as if this could be the fate of Mr Trump last week. Afterlosing the Iowa caucus to Ted Cruz, he seemed deflated. The man who promised his supporters they would become "sick of winning" had shown that he was beatable after all.
But with his New Hampshire victory, Mr Trump has finally proven his status as a serious contender in the presidential race and goes on to South Carolina without a clear rival for the Republican nomination.

There Mr Trump is leagues ahead of his nearest contender, Ted Cruz, another politician who bills himself as an outsider.
New Hampshire revealed the splits in the establishment as three Republican governors and Marco Rubio, the young Florida senator, fought over second place. None managed even 20 percent of the vote, leaving the Republican party's leading officials and financiers none the wiser over who might best represent their interests.
Instead, here was a feeling of history being made as Donald Trump delivered his victory speech in a small and crowded banquet hall in Manchester, New Hampshire.



The crowd - happy, drunk and feeling fortunate to have made it to the most exclusive primary party in town - erupted into wild applause as he took the stage alongside the rest of his family.
Waving signs, iPhones and fake foam hands bearing the candidates name they shouted: "We love you Donald."





"Politicians are making deals for their benefit," Mr Trump told the roaring crowd. "Now we are going to make the deals for the American people."
He gave his word that he would be "the greatest jobs president God ever made".



These were exactly the words that Mr Trump's supporters wanted. Many of his backers are not affiliated with any party. Many more had long checked out of American politics, sick of a system that they felt did not represent their views.
But now that these angry and energised voters have found a voice in Donald Trump, they will not stop until the system they so despise is changed for good.
Preparing to go to South Carolina, Mr Trump told the crowd: "Remember, you started it!"

According to the Tax Foundation, a center-right think tank, Trump's tax plan would increase the federal debt by over $10 trillion over ten years. While he recommends reducing tax rates, he doesn't broaden the tax base by reducing tax expenditures.

Is this a viable "plan"? This is one of only a handful of actual policy proposals he's proposed, and it's quite shit. Where are folks who pretend to be concerned about the nation's fiscal future and support Trump going to notice the mockery of this "tax" plan? Are you pro-deficit?

Most repubs and especially rx repubs only care about deficits and spending when the dem black guy is doing the spending.
