Five men who describe themselves in a complaint as "human rights activists of Mexican origin" filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Republican presidential candidate, his campaign, his company and Keith Schiller, Trump's chief of security. The plaintiffs allege that Trump security officials, namely Schiller, assaulted them as they protested outside of a campaign event.

I feel like the activists were well within their rights and forcing the protectors to move the banner as well as striking one of them is very illegal and wrong. I agree with them that Trump would make this country racist, and he should be protested against as much as humanly possible.

It could have been a simple story of facts, exaggeration and fetal tissue. In the last Republican presidential debate, Carly Fiorina passionately challenged Hillary Clinton and President Obama to watch one of the undercover videos featuring a Planned Parenthood official talking about donating fetal tissue to researchers.

Washington (CNN) -- After Sen. Tom Harkin likened her to Taylor Swift, Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst is taking the pop star's advice. Just "shake it off." That's how Ernst responded Monday to Harkin's remarks last week that Ernst wasn't fit to be Iowa's senator just because she's "really attractive and she sounds nice."

Washington (CNN) -- This Congress is going out just the way it began: in complete disarray. Fourteen months after tea party conservatives ignored Republican leaders and forced a two-week government shutdown, another one came close to happening -- this time because liberals were blowing off President Barack Obama's pleas to support a government funding measure.

Hillary Clinton continues to be a dominant force heading into the 2016 presidential election, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. The former secretary of state maintains a broad lead over the field of potential Democratic challengers she could face in a nomination contest and sizable advantages over the leading contenders from the Republican side in general election match-ups.

I would think what is going on in the media right now can hurt her in the Presidential run because people might think different of her so 2016 could get a little interesting.

Honestly, in my opinion, and take it as you will, i think that people are just choosing Hillary so we can say we got the first female president. They don't care about anything she stands for. Just like with Obama, i asked many people before he was elected, and a majority said, well it'll be a thing "get the first african american president in, the next one we will get in for the right reasons. but lets get the first one in there." so i feel its the same with Hillary, everyone wants to get the first female in. 'then they'll vote the right one in for the right reasons'

Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant sitting in the stands directly behind Trump, stood up Friday during Trump's speech when the Republican front-runner suggested that Syrian refugees fleeing war in Syria were affiliated with ISIS. Trump has previously called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.

its ridiculous that the people are being so rude, just because trump thinks its okay. she has a right to stand up and protest she wasnt being violent or anything she has the freedom of speech.

I think that this situation was handled terribly by Trump and shows that he is not the man that should be the President of the United States. It shows that he is not someone who knows how to handle a situation correctly and properly.

Paul discussed the matter with staff Wednesday morning and sent out a statement confirming the decision to drop out of the Republican presidential primary. "It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House," Paul said in the statement.

The polls -- from CNN/ORC, Monmouth University, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post and ABC News, were all conducted after last week's Democratic debate hosted by CNN and Facebook. Here's a look what the polls say about the state of the race: Three of the polls asked about Democrats' performance in their first debate, held October 13 in Las Vegas.

Paul Ryan made it all but official Tuesday night. He told his fellow Republicans he had returned from a 10-day recess visit home to Wisconsin with a new attitude toward being Speaker of the House.

Obama is announcing "executive orders" which have the same power as a law, but there are many Republicans who believed that the President should not be able to take actions in this way without getting a law passed through Congress. What do you think?

I believe that this might be a good safety measure but it takes our freedoms further away.

This is a step in the right direction for proper gun regulation but I believe that the president of the United States shouldn't be able to enact this as a law without congress because if he can that is too much power for one person.

Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post that Republican voters should think twice before voting for Cruz, who could face challenges to his eligibility to serve as president given that he was born in Canada, and not the United States.

When it comes to Republican Donald Trump repeated attacks about her husband's sex life, Hillary Clinton has one message for Donald Trump: "Didn't work before, won't work again." Trump has spent weeks attacking former President Bill Clinton on the campaign trail, calling him "one of the great abusers of the world" and comparing him to Bill Cosby, who is facing sexual assault allegations.

In other words, some influential Senate Democrats want Obama to choose a nominee who Republicans would ordinarily support but are only opposing now because it's an election year. This, they believe, would allow them to paint the GOP as intransigent and well outside of the mainstream, undermining the Senate GOP's election-year argument that they are committed to governing in a bipartisan manner.

Of all the surprises, of all the unexpected ironies, of all the unanticipated turns in the Republican presidential race, it's possible that Donald Trump has been hurt by telling the truth.

Hours later, Trump reversed his initial position -- criticized as extreme by both supporters and opponents of abortion rights -- saying only the doctors should be held liable. "The Republicans all line up together," Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"The system, folks, is rigged," Trump told supporters at a rally Monday night in Albany, New York. "It's a rigged, disgusting, dirty system." Trump is coming to grips with the creeping possibility that he could narrowly lose the Republican nomination at a contested GOP convention despite landing in Cleveland with the most delegates.

Even if his approval rating drops at all, I don't believe people are going to stop saying he's a "great" president.

I think it's interesting that the article claims Americans are bracing for a recession. We have a record high DOW Jones stock, unemployment is decreasing (more than 20 million new jobs since 2010), and Americans, in general, have more money in their pockets than we did 3 years ago. https://ig.ft.com/sites/numbers/economies/us/ It also piques my interest that the article claims the Trump approval rating as a whole is falling. After the democratic debates, Donald Trump has only increased in followership, rally attendance, etc. This is the reason people keep saying he's a "great" president. You might not like him as a person, I might not like him as a person, but if he continues to put a dent in the public debt, and continues to uphold basic constitutionalist ideals, he will continue to see success in America. I think it's interesting and I predict that the 2020 election will play out very similarly to the 2016 election. The democratic party did everything in their power to stop Trump from becoming president. Both Republicans and Democrats alike turned to personal attacks and scandals. Even if all the candidates are bad, we have to pick the best one. Trump was able to win against the Democrats because they didn't have any solid plans with evidence for the policies they wanted to implement. Trump has an upper-hand because he's never changed too. Democrats have flipped like no other when it comes to policies because they are desperate to be approved of by the younger masses. Trump has always supported a smaller government, focused on the economy, and wanted stricter foreign relations. The same cannot be said about Democrats, their talking points are that of enabling a welfare state, stripping citizens of their 2nd amendment rights, and their false sense of acceptance. tl;dr: orange man bad, but doing his job well.

The approval ratings, Trump's worst since taking office two months ago, come as FBI Director James Comey is expected to tell lawmakers that there is no evidence for the President's unverified claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election.

" Aside from the controversy over Trump's wiretapping claim, the latest poll numbers suggest growing dissatisfaction with his performance following the chaotic rollout of Republicans' plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and reaction to his travel ban that has faced stiff legal opposition." Trumps approval ratings are the worst that they've been the entire time he has been in office.

I think a lot of people haven't approved of Trump ever since the beginning and he hasn't really had enough time to prove his worth so people are only continuing to disapprove of his actions.

WASHINGTON -- Trump administration officials mounted a strong defense of the Republican health care bill Sunday, insisting that it will increase coverage, reduce costs and leave no one worse off. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price defined success on NBC's "Meet the Press" as "more people covered than are covered right now, and at an average cost that is less.
