Needs more informative polka dots to fan the intellectual blaze.
See 58 I agree.
The article is accurate. Trump did make a dig at Cruz’s Christianity and his Cuban heritage. You Trump supporters are going to try to wish it away but there was a reason that Trump said what he did and it was to try to exploit anti catholic bigotry. Trump also attacked Cruz for being against Ethanol subsidies. So, you can stick with Trump if you want but don’t call him a small government conservative.
Like I say you have a decoder ring if you got that from his statement.

Trump clearly said this in his speech. I have seen the clip. The Trump supporters are simply trying to run from it. They are sure Trump is their savior and they are determined to follow him like lemmings over the cliff.
I can’t figure why they don’t do coal gasification like South Africa did for strategic energy independence. We’re sitting on an immense pile of coal. When Sasol build their first plant there, the government guaranteed them the equivalent of $20/bbl, meaning they could make a profit competing against $20 oil. I’m sure the breakeven is somewhat higher now with higher labor costs and so on, but it can’t be that much higher, and there’s the security aspect (and the screw OPEC aspect as well), so you’d think it would be a no-brainer.
Someone published this?
Keep your religion out of politics.
That's all true, and Cruz's "gravity" remarks were stupid and insulting, and will not help him in any Trump supporters.
Oh .... wait .......
If that was case than explain please what the point of Trumps little comment was because the only explanation that I see is that he was trying to imply that somehow Cruz couldn’t be a true evangelical since most Cubans are Catholic.
That remark was meant for Cruz and he knows what it is.
Teddy attacked first.
Huge difference between privately explaining to your donors why you think you will win - basically explaining your strategy to them - and making a personal attack on a political opponent in a televised public rally. I don’t really mind the attacks but you Trumpsters trying to draw an equivalency here are crazy.

I heard the comment. It was entirely disconnected from what he was saying. It was a true observation. Cuba is/was a more Catholic country.
The ethanol mandate forces oil companies to blend in Ethanol which actually is bad for car engines and reduces gas milage. If it wasn’t for this mandate then Ethanol would not be used and would be worthless and Corn would go back to being a food product. This is absolutely a big government control of the economy type program and surprise surprise Donald Trump supports it and Sen. Cruz opposes it.
Yea ... right. Trump views everything but complete adoration and obedience as an "attack". #ThinSkin
