***PING***
That’s because he attacked Cruz FROM THE LEFT.
It’s important WHY you attack - just as important as WHO you attack. The WHY here is all wrong. The WHY here is full establishment. Trump went full establishment this weekend against Cruz, against all Tea party senators, against the domestic oil industry, against Scalia. Trump was big lefty all weekend.
Be warned.....
Trump will not attack Ted Cruz.
They don’t love Cruz, they hate Trump.
When you team up with the GOPe that’s all you have.
If he manages to win the nomination they will drop him like a bad habit, and you people will be spending months bitching and moaning about the lack of party support, and how so and such operative is sabotaging Cruz.
But today you want to act like Cruz’s new “friends” are backing his agenda. Yeah right!
This is true
These guys need to work together
Wishful thinking.
Cruz voted for the TPA, for the expansion of H1B visas and refuses to say if he is in favor of giving legal status to illegals.
Carson had much less baggage and look where he is now.
Cruz is the real deal. Trump is a newly minted, mercurial, ersatz conservative.
However, to the extent that Trump, JUST LIKE THE ESTABLISHMENT, wants a "cage match", he has jumped the shark.
He's piling up a series of missteps ... Netanyahu, Scalia, Iowa ethanol government handouts, personal attacks on Conservatives ....
Are you kidding. A guy who has argued cases before the Supreme Court isn’t gonna take this kind of bait.
Ted Cruz is an excellent, excellent lawyer with a specialty in the Bill of Rights. Trump is an excellent, excellent businessman with a specialty of private entrepreneurialism. They are both America First on Natl. Security. The fumbling, sputtering American economy is going to be the issue to separate the two. Cruz will lose on that - big.
Electability will be next and Trump with crossover appeal and Cruz with only the right will lose on that - big. Cruz a professional debater and former Texas Solicitor General will destroy Trump on ‘eruditeness’. Cruz is terrific, principled, a man to be admired. Trump has the stamina, acumen and resources to outlast him. We should not fight amongst ourselves and destroy each other - let the two titans make their case and see who wins. We’ll all need each other a year from now.
Good article.
Trump and Cruz will have to discuss issues.
I favor Cruz, but like both of them.
I get the feeling that Trump and Cruz are working together behind the scenes. That’s why they don’t attack one another.
I’m not saying I’m right but it’s just a hunch.
It will come down to who do I, as a conservative voter, trust more - Trump or Cruz. Right now I trust Cruz. But if Trump wins the nomination I will support him. I would hope some of the Trump supporters would reciprocate if Cruz wins the nomination. We conservatives must stay united in our cause otherwise it’s Hillary and more liberal socialist Democrats.
“. I’d say he’s even going to have a hard time coming up with material/dirt on Senator Cruz “
He already did - on Sunday’s interviews he said Cruz can’t get along with people and won’t be able to work with them.
His Senate ‘accomplishments’ prove this.
Trump doesn’t give a long, detailed description of why not to vote for someone - he states the truth, branding them with a few words. Jeb is low energy, Hillary has no stamina or strength. That stuff sticks because it’s true and people easily recognize it.
Trump won’t like trying to argue conservatism with Ted Cruz. His poll numbers won’t like him trying, either.
There is a couple things he has said which are puzzling to me.
One is when he says super pacs control their candidates because of all the money they give them but on the other hand they keep most of it for themselves.
So how are the candidates controlled by some contributions sometimes less than 100 thousand?
Second when he goes against Cruz for battling the GOPe in the Senate, why does he go against him when it’s one of things which Conservatives applaud him for?
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
I like them both. I’ll be fine with either or a ticket with both. It doesn’t matter which one gets the nomination since the establishment, the rats and the media hates them both.
