Trump in 2002: "I guess" I'd invade Iraq

You article is all speculation. Evidence says otherwise.

[P-Marlowe]

So I should believe you instead of my lying ears, right?

“Trumpinator”.

You’re a completely neutral observer. You’re not biased at all, right?

[Trumpinator]

Ya think? What gave it away? Who said I was neutral?

[minnesota_bound]

Did Trump say this on Tuesday or a Wednesday and which way was the wind blowing that days?

We need someone who can think clearly but alas we only have Donald Trump.
Hoping he appoints smart people to keep him in check.

[cookcounty]

We could end up with Hillary or Donald.

Both are complete BS-ers. There is no disputing that Donald “speaks his mind.” The problem is that he changes that mind every time he goes around the block.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

I guess the GOP refused to stop Obamacare in 2009 & 2014 because Trump was polling at 5%.

If the GOP starts taking orders from Trump now when he’s at 35% there might be a point.

A felon who attempts to purchase a firearm is still in violation of his parole. That is what Saddam was doing with the ‘peace agreement’ from the first Gulf War, he was violating the peace and returning to war, even if he did not obtain the weapons he sought.

“I’d guess” would be a good campaign slogan for tRump. He has no conservative convictions that he wouldn’t immediately abandon if he guessed some other position would be more advantageious....as he has done throughout his public life depending the on the way the wind blew.

RE: The more Trump talks, the more these historical cartoons apply to him ... as much as they once did to Mitt

Absolutely

[pilgrim]

You post that often. Illumination, not argument!!

Cruz - TPA

“Enough is enough. I cannot vote for TPA unless McConnell and Boehner both commit publicly to allow the Ex-Im Bank to expire—and stay expired. And, Congress must also pass the Cruz-Sessions amendments to TPA to ensure that no trade agreement can try to back-door changes to our immigration laws. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to vote no.
There’s too much corporate welfare, too much cronyism and corrupt dealmaking, by the Washington cartel. For too long, career politicians in both parties have supported government of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist, and for the lobbyist – at the expense of the taxpayers. It’s a time for truth. And a time to honor our commitments to the voters.”

I post it often because Cruz was all for TPA. The Ex-Im Bank argument only came up after his vote for cloture and its not the worst component of Obamatrade by any stretch of the imagination.

Cruz knows what's in TPP yet he actively worked for fast track to grease the skids for TPP which threatens our sovereignty, freedom, and trade. Even has a Intellectual Property chapter to shut down Drudge.

Cruz knew this when he along with Paul Ryan argued for TPA.

Ted Cruz joins the establishment

Ted's good at making a side issue very public as in the Ex-Im Bank argument but it's Kabuki theater. Obamatrade is a disaster, possibly worse for the country than Obamacare because you're bringing foreign regulators into it yet both Cruz and Rubio supported it along the way. In fact, Cruz only got out of the final vote because they no longer needed him. Rubio took the dive:

Marco Rubio Casts Deciding Vote For Obamatrade Without Even Reading It

This is how Washington has played us for years, time to wake up.

[pilgrim]

Did he or did he not vote against it?

[Kenny]

Wow, did you read any of the links I’ve ever posted.

Cruz wrote an article arguing for TPA, wanted to give Obama increased powers and pushed hard for fast track. Then, when needed, he voted to bring it out of cloture.

The fact that he got out of the final vote doesn’t clear him. That’s like Pontius Pilate washing his hands after he set every thing in motion.

[pilgrim]

Wasn’t trying to change your mind, know that will not happen. Have read the articles.

“Since the Senate first voted on TPA, there have been two material changes.

First, WikiLeaks subsequently revealed new troubling information regarding the Trade in Services Agreement, or TiSA, one of the trade deals being negotiated by Obama.

Despite the administration’s public assurances that it was not negotiating on immigration, several chapters of the TiSA draft posted online explicitly contained potential changes in federal immigration law. TPA would cover TiSA, and therefore these changes would presumably be subject to fast-track.”

They knew until WikiLeaks leaked.

Some candidates are allowed to change positions and others are not. That is clear.

Thanks for the “Pontius Pilate” comparison, clears things up more.

Hope your day is a great one.

Take care.........pilgrim

[Kenny]

Appreciate the civil discourse. Can’t say I’m not trying to change your mind though as I’m desperate to change Washington.

Anyway, thanks again for a reasonable discussion.

[pilgrim]

Thanks, the last sentence from you consider a compliment.

Know the feeling re: Washington!!!

(I see people post a lot of things that are not true. One was

Cruz stole building a wall position from Trump.

Trump was first on the wall. Etc. I ask for confirmation and there is none.)

Just want the full account or picture, to be the reason for support, not just half.

Thanks again.
