7:11Now PlayingDonald Trump is bucking conventional wisdom in the Republican Party, and is not facing any negative consequences for it. He has repeatedly said that George W. Bush did not keep the country safe, and cites the 9/11 attacks as evidence. His poll numbers haven’t dipped at all for these comments. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.
Do you agree with Trump about Bush keeping us safe? Let us know in the comments below.

“The latest Republican debate in South Carolina was instructive for several reasons. First, it was a reminder that the gloves are clearly off. As the post-New Hampshire field narrows, the candidates are desperate to solidify their position. Any pretense of civility is gone, as the race shape-shifts into a mud-slinging cage match. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, in particular, have become openly contemptuous of each other. And there is certainly no love lost between Trump, Cruz and Bush.
More importantly, now that we’ve seen the first post-debate polls in South Carolina, it’s also apparent that Donald Trump is unstoppable – if that wasn’t already evident.
The Republican Party has a host of treasured illusions, untruths that are just too convenient to surrender – America is a Christian nation, trickle-down economics works, climate change is a liberal phantasm, Republicans are better at balancing budgets, and so on. To live in the conservative bubble is to know all of these things are true, irrespective of the facts.”
