Russia in Syria

Shutdown averted

"They hate"
GOP front-runner Donald Trump went on the attack in New Hampshire, using strong language to describe Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's relationship with his former mentor, Gov. Jeb Bush. "They hate each other," Trump said of his rivals for the Republican nomination. "They hate, trust me I know."
"Close friends"
Gov. Jeb Bush was also speaking to a crowd in New Hampshire, and he took issue with Trump's characterization of his relationship with Sen. Rubio. Bush also said Trump should reconsider his stance on deporting Syrian refugees, and show "some sensitivity" for "people seeking freedom."

Baseless claims
