"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."

I’m not a fan of either, but Carter, 2nd worst POTUS ever, is entitled to his opinion.

Carter has been brain dead for years.
And yet - even HE supports Trump.
Explains. A. Lot.

Hey, Jughead, this isn’t an endorsement - Jimmy will be voting for one of the communist democrats. He was asked a question - not for an endorsement. You Cruzbots are insufferable and sometimes ignorant.

Your picture that you've posted more than a dozen times doesn't make sense. Trump is the sore loser complaining about how he was "cheated".
Please explain your rationale.

Funny how you folks seem to overlook Trump’s point about Cruz being disqualified for dirty tricks.

Hey name caller, I actually like Trump but would like to stuff a sock in his fat mouth. You, on the other hand, bow down before him. So be it. Never called Jughead before, wasn’t that a cartoon long ago?
