Ted's a young guy and should be playing the long game: looking, listening and learning. Instead Cruz may flame out and never again be a viable national candidate.
Ted is reminding voters he was born in Canada. Why Ted?
I support Ted in doing whatever he can to derail the orange fascist.
Cruz’s mistake was running a campaign of ideolgoical purity in a year when voters are fed up with poltics as usaul.
All the high flying retroic on ideological purity are meaningless to a voter who been underemployed since 2008,is worried if his employer is going to move his job to Mexico tomorrow and whose kids go to a corrupt, incompetent, gang infested school.
People want solutions, not “how many Conservatives can dance on the head of a pinâ€, ideological debates.
Ted doesn’t get it. Tanking in all demographics and even losing evangelicals to Trump, he goes and finds James Dobson to vouch for him. Ted has marginalized himself to a little corner of the Republican Party. He’s finished.
If he was smart he would have served a term or two and waited until he had actually accomplished something other than make speeches.
Trump is living in his head rent-free. Just look at today - during the critical time just days before a make-or-break primary he’s got Cruz pissing around for an hour with Rove-like charts and whining about frivilous lawsuits. Talk about OFF MESSAGE!
Trump is master of this game. Rattle the opposition, trash talk him, screw with his head...it’s probably put billions of dollars in his pocket on deals, the this primary is just one big fat beautiful deal!
Ted’s going to have bigger issues getting elected in Texas. Some enterprising candidate will come along and claim that Ted lied to the people of Texas when he was still a citizen of Canada. There’s that lie thing again and it will have staying power thanks to this election. Ted may not make it out of the primary in Texas and if he does may not win the general election. Cruz really played this badly and may have ended his political career at the age of 44. Unfortunate.
Candidates only go this negative when they are desperate.
Limbaugh extended him a helping hand by airing his news conference on his show.
Oh please. Impossible to take you “Trump is Hitler” people seriously any more.
The divide is between Trump, who has put forth some real fundamental changes in direction on immigration, trade and taxes and the rest of the GOP field, who are buy conducting a “I’m the real Conservative I can fix this”” politics as usual campaigns.
This is where you political Establishment types get Trump’s support all wrong. You keep thinking it is about emotion or “get even with themism”.
No it is about the need for a fundamental change in political outlook in DC rather then merely another round election year musical chair where one set of professional politicians replace the other set.
Trump supporters are not looking for “punishment” they are LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS.
The sad thing is that Trump is doing in spades to Cruz what Trump accuses Cruz of doing to Carson. Essentially, the Cruz team acted on information received from CNN that must have been given them first by Team Carson. That has been show conclusively. Trump continually calling Cruz a “liar” and a “cheater” has been far worse than anything that Cruz is accused of doing to anyone else.
I don’t know about desperation but I heard him outright lie during a live broadcast press conference Rush ran with.
It was back to the Carson mess and evidently that harpooned his campaign.
Now he said Rubio is holding his campaign tweets about Carson over his head when it was reported Rubio did the same thing. (I agree with that totally).
Then Cruznjumps the shark stating all his campaign did was referred what CNN reported.
HE DOESN’T MENTION HIS CAMPAIGN SUGGESTING CARSON WAS OUT AND THAT CARSON VOTERS SHOULD CAUCUS WITH CRUZ VOTERS.
That right there is Cruz’s lie and the issue IMO.
Trump is treating the primary process like an Audition, while Ted is treating it like an Interview process
But . . . but . . . the Jeb “internal” poll . . . .
Keep posting child. You are doing far more damage to your candidate with your behavior then you could possible realize
Much as I like Cruz, if he can’t win the Bible Belt vs Trump then supporting him is simply a fool’s errand.
If they hold the line, however, this becomes one of the most important elections ever.
I like both Cruz and Trump. Trust Cruz a bit more to select judges. Like Trump a bit more on immigration.
The rest of the GOP field is worthless on immigration, Bush, Rubio, and Kasich all love Amnesty and would increase overall migration from the third word. Even one of these three open-border clowns however, would nominate far better justices than Clinton or Sanders.
