Bachmann on Cain, Gingrich, Iowa

Michelle Bachmann on Cain, Gingrich, Iowa

December 4, 2011

After Republican candidate, Herman Cain,decided to drop out of the primary race, the candidates are fighting for Cain's voters' support. Chris Wallace, host of the Sunday Fox News, tells Michelle Bachmann that Newt Gingrich is picking up most of Cain's supporters. However, Bachmann believes that many people are supporting and going to continue to support her. She states, "People realize that I am the true tea party candidate in the race." She is truly against the Obama health care plan and says that Gingrich and Romney do not completely disagree with him. Wallace then asks Bachmann on how she feels being currently fourth place in the race. She responds that it is not over. The poll fluctuates and what people are trying to find out is who is the most consistent on his/her views and she believes that she has been the most consistent.
It is also revealed that she has the "highest grade" than anyone else on immigration, that Newt Gingrich has the lowest. She wants strict immigration laws. She also oppose extending the pay roll on tax cuts, meaning that middle class families would face between $1000 to $1500 in taxes. She opposes it because she says that this is Obama's policy and it hasn't work. It pulled out $110 billion dollars in the social security trust fund and she believes that senior citizens need their social security. Ironically, the pay roll actually favors the middle class, typically Republican.
Judging from this talk show, I learned that Bachmann is a reactionary candidate. She is in the tea party and supports every idea of a conservative. She wants stricter immigration laws, against environmental regulations and Obama's health care.
Chris Wallace seems to be a fair host during the talk show. He asks her to elaborate on issues she has mentioned and is stating comments based on polls and facts.
Overall, though Bachmann seems to be behind in the race, she does not believe so herself. She thinks that the voters can always shift there views.
