Oh, you Trump people... you are a hoot!
Trump responded to that question in a way that was sure to make it an issue.
What’s wrong with that if you’re running for president and someone is gaining on you?
But you people feel compelled to maintain the illusion that it was all well meant and really, really just done to help Cruz clear the air on the issue.
Sell that somewhere else.
No other explanation. Trump too smart to pick this clearly losing argument that he already knew would do no damage. What is HAS done is CLARIFY that Cruz is all cleared to run.
Neither of those things are a mistake, both of these guys and their campaigns are too smart. They agreed to shut out the competition from here till Iowa. After Iowa -> a new inertia will take the nomination.
What difference does it make who wins in Iowa?
Only 4 out of the last 10 winners in Iowa got the nomination in the end, not counting Reagan and Bush 43 who ran unopposed in one of their races.
As long as Trump is in the 1st three, it makes no difference.
Hi, Altura! Happy Saturday.
Lumping all Trump supporters together is an insulting way to start a comment. Why don't you learn from Ted Cruz and take the high road and just make your comments. Let's make FreeRepublic great again. Stop the bashing.
I didn’t mean that as bashing... I thought it was a friendly take on the passion of the Trump supporters. I actually admire that passion but sometimes it leads to taking ridiculous positions.
I am not a Trump basher... never was. If he can win, I’m fine with that.
I happen to think Cruz would be a better president and I happen to think that Trump was going after Cruz when amping up the citizenship thing.
If that’s bashing... well, you need to work on being over-sensitive. You won’t do well here...we all need thick skins.
Their positions are pretty close. I think Trump would probably hit the ground much faster on trade and the economy than Cruz while Cruz may be able to help tackle the Washington leviathan.
I think both Trump and Cruz would eventually have to cave on some conservative positions in order to push more important stuff through.
As for thick skin, I'm dedicated to not being part of the rhetoric that makes Free Republic a toxic place.
Since when is Trump “falling in the polls”? The premise is incrorrect!
“the Washington leviathan”
...will have to be fired. Almost ALL of it.
That would be a great start.
No I comment on many fine Americans because they are mesmerized by a svengali oligarch. Im sure many fine Americans, as you call them, voted for Obama too. Many fine Germans voted for a Svengali. People see what they want to see and its got nothing to do with Ted Cruze or me or factual reasoning for that matter. How Christianity got drug into it is way beyond me.
These are my observations and I mean you no disrespect your vote is your vote.
