“We’re like living in medieval times,” he said. “If I have to do it and if it’s up to me, I would absolutely bring back waterboardng. And if it’s going to be tougher than waterboarding, I would bring that back, too.”

When pressed by interviewer George Stephanopoulos if that meant the United States employing similar methods of beheading captors, Trump responded: “We’re going to do things beyond waterboarding,” adding, “Perhaps, if that happens to come.”

Good article.

Here's a great moment from the debate entrance debacle last night that shows Trump's compassionate side.

So Trump is accusing other candidates of deceit, of trying anything and saying anything to get attention/votes?

Trump is flat out accusing Cruz of stealing Iowa now. The evidence is there. He should confront Marcosoft's fraud as well.

Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!

EDIT - there's more tweets:

During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz.

Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.

The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud

And finally, Cruz strongly told thousands of caucusgoers (voters) that Trump was strongly in favor of ObamaCare and "choice" - a total lie!

Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

Their selection methods have seemed a little peculiar at times, at least for that specific prize.  They may add a "Pizza Prize" soon though.

Of course not, never said he was but the whole process is just a joke by virtue of a lot of the eventual winners (including Obama) in comparison to who their competition was. Peace prize indeed.

It seems like a pretty thin claim and an even thinner probability:
"Kristian Berg Harpviken, a Noble watcher and head of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo, told Reuters the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has also been tipped for an award, alongside Colombian peace negotiators, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
He also a claimed to have seen a letter submitted by an unidentified US nominator who proposed Trump for “his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, Isis, nuclear Iran and Communist China”. He did not list Trump as one of the candidates who actually has a chance of winning.
 

I reckon he is trying to be like Obama.  Meh, it is not like the Nobel hasn't lost its credibility long ago anyway.

"No one remembers who came in second"

Trump got the second highest vote in history for that caucus and he has never held office. Keep trying to spin that as a terrible loss. Plus the vote was rigged to boost Rubio and then Cruz used dirty tricks to steal votes from Carson. All in all Trump did extremely well considering the B.S. that went on, more of which will emerge soon.
