"Coming soon to a Ted Cruz campaign ad near you?
Former President Jimmy Carter, at Britain's House of Lords on Wednesday to deliver a lecture on the campaign to eradicate the Guinea worm disease, was derailed for a few minutes by a BBC reporter who asked about the presidential election.
If he had to choose between Cruz and Trump for the Republican nomination, Carter chuckled, "I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you."
"The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s completely malleable,†Carter explained. "I don't think he has any fixed (positions) he'd go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he'd pursue if he became president."

Jimmy stick to Democrats.
Trump isn’t that malleable.
*******************************************************
Trump is as malleable as unbaked Pretzel dough-—and he’s regularly twisting himself into all sorts of weird contortions.

Oh my, this is too good! First thing I think I’ve ever agreed with Carter on.

Trump’s a reality TV star. He should milk this for all it’s worth.
Have Carter and Bob Dole arm-wrestle on live TV for the VP slot.
Phyliss Shlafly can be the cheerleader.
Donate the proceeds to help Jim Gilmore pay off his campaign debt.

This should help Trump win the total loser vote. I wonder if Carter is eligible for VP.

Jimmy Carter is a good Evangelical Christian like Cruz. Hence something must be wrong with Evangelicals. Please. Spare us.
The only thing Jimmy Carter got right is - well I can't think of it....

Dang, thought this was an Onion piece at first, but Carter actually said that.

I don’t know. His past liberal stances don’t phase them. His flipflops don’t phase them. His pandering to the Iowa corn farmers didn’t phase them. His unpresidential whining about losing in Iowas doesn’t appear to phase them.

Yes, Carter could be Trump’s VP.
He only served one term.

Very Alinsky of you D.O.! On the day Trump is wearing his dirty diaper crying for a algoreian recount, you call Cruz a sore loser! You get a trumpy gold star!

Trump is a Jonny-come-lately on ALL of his so-called conservative stances.

Trump was my second choice after Cruz. He’s slipped to 3rd or fourth after his petulant rant.
