Bush strong in GOP debate
(MENAFN- Arab News) LAS VAGAS: Jeb Bush finally delivered a powerful debate performance. The former Florida governor repeatedly took the fight to front-runner Donald Trump in Las Vegas as the Republican Party's 2016 class met on the debate stage for the last time this year.
The presidential hopefuls put Daesh terrorists in their crosshairs.
Just weeks after deadly attacks in Paris and San Bernardino California Republicans vying for their party's nomination in the 2016 race for the White House were suddenly confronted with the specter of terrorism on US soil and the steps they would take to defeat Daesh entrenched in Iraq and Syria.
But amid pronouncements that US freedoms are under attack several of Trump's rivals aimed criticism at the billionaire real estate mogul during the debate over his incendiary anti-Muslim remarks.
'We can't disassociate ourselves from peace-loving Muslims. If we expect to do this on our own we will fail' said Bush.
'Donald is great at the one-liners' Bush added 'but he's a chaos candidate and he'd be a chaos president.'
Senator Marco Rubio who has been on the rise with seven weeks to go before voters in the heartland state of Iowa cast the first ballots in the nominations process dismissed Trump's ban saying the proposal 'isn't going to happen.'
Senator Rand Paul piled on. 'I think if we ban certain religions if we censor the Internet I think that at that point the terrorists will have won' he said.
Two polls unveiled Monday and Tuesday show Trump at new heights with maverick US Senator Ted Cruz surging into second place and thus expected to rattle the frontrunner during the Las Vegas showdown featuring nine candidates.
But Cruz stepped gingerly when it came to criticizing Trump instead clashing at length with Rubio who described Cruz as an isolationist who has voted against legislation that funds the US military and opposes US boots on the ground in Syria.
Cruz who represents Texas insisted that if he were president 'Daesh and radical terrorism will face no more determined foe that I will be.'
