Jimmy Carter endorses Donald Trump … over Ted Cruz
Atlanta Journal Constitution Political Blog ^ | February 3, 2016 | Greg Bluestein

"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."

You are influenced by Carter?

LOL, think for yourself.

Of course it was Carter’s plan, he’s an Alinsky type of guy.

I don’t bow down to any man. Jughead was a character in the Archie comics. As a Trump supporter, I don’t agree with him on everything, nor do I blindly stand behind every thing he says and does, unlike the Cruzbots, which are mimicking the Obamabots. So, put your accusation where the sun doesn’t shine.

You are really thin skinned for a guy who doesn’t bow down to Trump. What don’t you agree with Trump on?

So Jimmy’s saying from the democrats perspective they would be much better off with with a malleable “deal maker”, Trump, as opposed to a principled, consistent Conservative, Ted Cruz. This may be the first time I’ve agreed with Jimmy Carter. One more reason to vote Cruz.

Ted Cruz is not Dishonest.. You Trump supporters have got to lighten up. Your mainsprings are a bit tight.. Trump needs to slow down his twitter tantrums.. As President he would probably nuke Denmark if he got upset. He is showing who he is.. Poor Loser!!!

Pretty clearly the GOPe prefers Trump over Cruz for the same reason.

Well, I suppose the kiss of death from an old fart who had something or other to do with the other party is somewhat newsworthy.....

Fixed

Not surprising after Trump going full Sam Kiinnison on Twitter today.

If Obama endorses Trump, they will say how great Obama is.

First mistake - I’m NOT a guy. With that insult - I refuse to answer any of your questions. They are my personal thoughts and I refuse to share them with you.

I was going to vote Trump, but now..........not so sure. Wonder if that was Carter’s plan?

No. He's not a subtle, Macchiavellian type. He assumes he's still relevant. I never thought Phyllis Schlafley and Jimmy Carter would both live long enough to pick the same candidate in any two man match up.

Some have forgotten its ideas that matter, not personalities.

Trump will leave them at the alter. Hell, he's already got one foot out the chapel door.

That’s it! Trump is as good as finished. All he needs now is Dick Morris predicting Trump will win.
