David Brock (of all people!) has a very loose definition of negative campaigning.

Between the emails, the Clinton foundation investigation, the Goldman Sachs paid speeches (transcripts may leak), taking of money from Wall Street for the Super Pac and helping to write T.P.P.... Donald Trump is going to have a field day attacking her day in and day out as the Democratic nominee, I do not see how she can win the Presidential nomination.

Last night at the CNN-Telemundo Republican debate both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio tagged teamed Donald Trump... It may be an issue of too little too late as Trump is leading in the polls of 10 to 11 of the Super Tuesday states. This morning Glenn Beck is saying that the only way to stop Trump is to get behind Ted Cruz and not Rubio. Also Beck advised that the Main Stream Media (MSM) is behind Rubio as that is where the donor/lobbyist money left behind by Jeb Bush's leaving the race is now going.
My personal observation: last night, everytime Rubio attacked Trump with a there was a woman or maybe more people laughing hysterically with party horns or something.. I guess trying to give the optics that the room and Republicans are now behind Rubio... To me the extra laughing and horn noises seemed very odd
Video excerpts of the debate below:
Rubio vs Trump highlights
Best Line of the debate
For me the exchange below between Wolf Blitzer and Donald Trump is the funniest moment of the debate:

Somehow, I'm not surprised that ThisJustin is a Trump backer.

I really enjoyed watching him embarrass Trump last night, and I wished he'd started doing it sooner. Maybe he had too much honer to go after a political leightweight and blowhard like Trump.

As if Trump needed more help with lunch pail white men, Al Sharpton just said he will leave the country if Trump wins...
Can I vote twice?

Maybe he had too much honer to go after a political leightweight and blowhard like Trump. Marco Rubio learned something from Chris Christie's attack of being repetitive and used it against Donald Trump last night. Clearly Rubio and Cruz were told to take on the biggest bully on the block and not show any fear to avoid the fate of Jeb Bush (who more times than not allowed Trump to control the debate narrative). P.S.: Marco Rubio did his homework and did a good of bringing up Trump's hiring illegal aliens and the law suits facing Trump University.

With Hillary Clinton winning S. Carolina by over a 40% margin and bringing with her on the campaign the mother's and wives of people who have died at the hands of police officers, it seem ironic that at the same time she is helping the AA community or campaigninig as if she will by advocating restructing of police laws and promising jobs, if they are aware that by negotiating free trade agreements such as NAFTA, TAFTA and T.P.P, Mrs. Clinton is helping the community with one hand while stabbing them in the back with the other... "This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field"..Hillary Clinton in Austrailia (circa 2012)

Will Hillary use their families as props for her next rally? I'm waiting. Why doesn't she hold a rally in her beloved Chicago where exactly 100 persons have been the victims of homicides so far in 2016 and where about 90% or more are Black or Hispanic? www.dnainfo.com/chicago/2016-chicago-murders

Because Chicago is yet another American city living in a cycle of violence under decades of Democrat Party control. The less said about the cesspool that is Chicago and its Democrat machine the better for Hillary.

Why do you insist on saying "Democrat" in situations where "Democratic" is clearly the appropriate word? I realize it has nothing to do with the substance of your post, and I'm not commenting on the substance. I just get the sense you're trying to make some kind of statement with the "Democrat Party" stuff, but I don't get what it is.

You know that, when used in different contexts, the same word can have two different meanings, right? Put another way, you can call it the "Democratic Party" without endorsing the way it carries out "democratic" politics. Put yet another way, I was right that you're trying to make a point—it's just a dumb one.

Why does it bother you so that someone with no regard for the party calls it by another name?

On another note, I saw a fascinating interview with Trump on Fox News. The host asked him if he was going to release his income tax returns. Trump said that he was being audited and couldn't release the returns. The host reminded him that the IRS commissioner stated that there would be no problem for Trump if he released the returns. Trump responded once again that he couldn't release them due to the audit. The host then asked a great question. He asked Trump, "so what was your adjusted gross income in 2015. Trump advised him to go look at the financial statement he submitted This is going to be an ongoing problem for the Donald as the campaign goes on.
BTW-Romney has stated that Trump's income tax returns will contain several bombshells (I wonder how he knows that).

Romney doesn't. He's just shamelessly replaying Harry Reid's line of attack from 2012. It's political trolling.

Trump either does not make as much money as he claims or doesn't give as much to charity as he has claimed in the past. Either way it probably is not going to matter as his base seems solidified. Rubio and Cruz have both gone with "Trump is not conservative enough" and it does not matter, people do not care. Trump is even to the left of Hillary Clinton on free trade agreements, health care, and the military and it still looks like he will win every state on Super Tuesday/SEC Tuesday except for Texas.

Agree. Have a feeling that Trump's financial statement is not consistent with his tax return. You are definitely right about Trump's support. His support is rock solid and no matter what he says or does, his supporters will not waver.
