Krauthammer: Trump Has ‘Psychological Need,’ ‘Can’t Admit’ He Came In Second In Iowa Because He Can’t Admit Losing
Columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “can’t admit to coming second” in Iowa because he can’t accept that he lost and that Trump’s accusations against fellow candidate Texas Senator Ted Cruz are “just a psychological need” on Wednesday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel. Krauthammer said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:40] “The reason he [Trump] can’t admit to coming second, is because if he loses anything, the earth wobbles off its axis. … I don’t think that the reason he insists right now with the tweeting and the attacks, all the attention coming back to him [is] for electoral strategic reasons. I think it’s just a psychological need. speaking as a layman there.” He continued, “I think this has a sort of a weird effect of helping Rubio. This is the scenario where the top two dogs, the two coming out of Iowa, the two who dominate the national polls, attack each other. They each are somewhat diminished by it, and then Rubio just kind of sneaks in there. It’s happened in Iowa in ’04 with the democrats. In some way, you could say it happened in Iowa this time around with Rubio unexpectedly rising.
Rubio: My Campaign Never Sent News Carson Was Dropping Out — Cruz’s Campaign ‘Willing To Say Or Do Anything’
Republican presidential candidate Florida Senator Marco Rubio commented on the controversy between fellow candidates Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson over Cruz’s campaign spreading rumors Carson was dropping out during the Iowa caucuses by saying his campaign never sent news Carson was dropping out, and the behavior of Cruz’s campaign is “an indication of a campaign that’s willing to say or do anything” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel. Rubio stated, “First of all, my campaign never sent that news around, that’s false. … I think the fundamental — the deeper problem was that there were people on the ground in Iowa, related to the Cruz campaign that were going around telling people at caucus sites that Ben Carson was dropping out in the hopes that they’d switch their vote, and we heard it from a handful of people at some the caucuses we went to, as well, that they had been told that. And Ted, I understand, has apologized for his campaign’s involvement in that. And I understand Ben has accepted it, but he’s still upset. I think to me it’s an indication of a campaign that’s willing to say or do anything in order

Michael Eric Dyson: Republicans ‘Want To Retroactively Remove’ President Obama ‘From Birth’
Georgetown University Professor and MSNBC Political Analyst Michael Eric Dyson argued that Republicans “want to retroactively remove” President Obama “from birth” and that President Obama “can’t be emotional” “Because an angry black man scares the heck out of many people” on Wednesday’s broadcast of CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Dyson began by saying, “You can have critical viewpoints about the president. You can speak back to him. You can disagree with him. I don’t mean at all that that is racist. I’m suggesting that despite the ideological and political differences there’s an overlay of kind of racist reaction. For instance, a Congressman stands up in congress and shouts, ‘You lie,’ a governor from Arizona puts her finger in his face on the tarmac before the world, a reporter at the White House refuses to let him finish his press conference. This is unprecedented kind of stuff.” After the discussion turned to accusations that President Obama is a Muslim, Dyson stated, “As Jerry Seinfeld says, not that there’s any problem with that, but the reality is, the guy’s a Christian. He’s been in the church for 20-some years and he’s been dismissed. You know, the Republicans don’t believe in
Hillary Defends Goldman Sachs Speaking Fees: ‘That’s What They Offered’
Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defended her three speeches to Goldman Sachs and the amount she made for them by stating, “That’s what they offered” at CNN’s Democratic Presidential Town Hall on Wednesday. Hillary began by saying she “made speeches to lots of groups.” When asked if she needed to be paid $675,000 for three speeches, Hillary answered, “Well, I don’t know. That’s what they offered. So, — you know, every secretary of state that I know has done that.” After moderator Anderson Cooper said this usually happens after secretaries of state know they won’t run for an office again, Hillary said, “To be honest, I wasn’t committed to running. I didn’t know whether I would or not.” And “You know, when I was secretary of state, several times I said, ‘You know, I think I’m done.’” She added, “[A]nybody who knows me, who thinks that they can influence me, name anything they’ve influenced me on. Just name one thing.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
