Will Iowa voters be getting trashed again by Donald Trump today? (Or by one of his interns?) We saw the unprecedented action of a Trump apology yesterday, after he re-tweeted a tweet from one of his interns who wrote, “#BenCarson is now leading in the #polls in #Iowa… Too much #Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain? @realDonaldTrump #GOP“ That came after the […]

The political action committee that’s been raising money for Jeb Bush‘s nascent presidential campaign is expected to announce a prodigious fundraising number soon, perhaps as much as $100 million.
