Criticizes WSJ, Rove

Makes Statement0 Comments

The WSJ criticizes his trade comments at the debate:

Start with trade, which showcased Donald Trump. “I love trade. I’m a free trader, 100%,” said the businessman, after declaring that he opposed the only free-trade deal currently on offer, the U.S. agreement with 11 other Pacific nations. Mr. Trump called it a “terrible deal,” though it wasn’t obvious that he has any idea what’s in it.

Poll: 61% support military action

0 Comments

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 61% of Americans say that taking military action against ISIS is in the interests of the U.S., while only 13% disagree, and 24% say they don’t know. It finds that 94% of Americans are aware of the beheadings of Sotloff and Foley, higher than any other news event the NBC/WSJ poll has measured in the last five years. Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted the survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart of Hart Research:

A very war-weary country … seems to have woken up to the real threat that ISIS may present. The beheadings are so chilling to the American public. The only things I think of equal impact are the self-immolations back in Vietnam.
