Republican Field and Donald Trump

Donald Trump: The candidate will travel to Laredo, Texas, on Thursday, where he will hold a press conference at the border, meet members of the union that represents border control agents and speak to law enforcement officers, his campaign said, according to Metro News. Trump had shot to the top of recent polls of the crowded Republican field, but these were taken before the flare up over his comments about McCain and N.J. Donald Trump plans to go the Mexican border, a flashpoint in the Republican presidential primary contest ever since the billionaire businessman and TV personality declared that immigrants from Mexico are rapists and drug dealers. The plan signalled no backing down indeed, a possible further escalation in a feud with presidential rivals and other top Republicans. The fight was sparked by his comments about immigrants last month but accelerated when he mocked John McCain experience as a tortured prisoner in the Vietnam war, then slammed the Arizona senator record on veterans issues.
