Trump is going to continue the Rope a Dope strategery for a few months yet. No rush and it’s better than H->’s strategery of ducking to get to the times that really matter while still in the lead.

They way a lot of people see it, standing up to leftwing militants like BLM is an issue in and of itself.

Many people feel it’s more important to win the battle over political correctness and multi-culturalism than it is to say... cut the capital gains tax or even... gasp... ban abortion.

Did you read this? He was asked the question and he answered it. He didn’t offer anything. He was asked.

So what is your problem?

Don’t worry about Cruz if Trump keeps doing the right thing:

Ted Cruz: ‘Foolish’ for GOP to criticize Trump

He says that it is dangerous to dismiss a candidate with this type of drawing power.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday warned that the Republican presidential candidates who are slamming Donald Trump do so at their political peril.

Cruz’s remarks, which came during an interview with POLITICO as he swings through the South on a bus tour, are among the most detailed comments to date regarding his reluctance to criticize the real estate mogul, who is currently leading the polls in the GOP primary.

“I would … note that an awful lot of Republicans, including other Republican candidates, have gone out of their way to smack Donald Trump with a stick. Now I think that’s just foolish,” he said.

Asked why, Cruz paused and then replied, “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. [to which] between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016. I’d like every single person at that rally to show up and vote in 2016, knock on doors with energy and passion, and turn this country around. If Washington politicians show contempt and condescension to those [voters,] that is a path to losing at the ballot box.”

And when asked whether he wants those voters to eventually support him, he replied, “It is my hope to earn the support of the supporters for every other candidate in 2016.”

“Responding to a question from a reporter”

Reading is fundamental.

Obviously you didnt watch his live speech for 45 mins afterward. Maybe CNN cut away too soon for you. It was all available on msnbc live.

Or maybe you are just a jerk pretending the press conference was the only part.

What are you talking about?? You don’t think race pimps and their associated lawlessness is a big issue?

Get you head out of the sand. He handled that perfectly, no mealy mouth words of “understanding” or pandering.

He doesn’t need to go to the issues. The press keeps his name on the front page. You are to be thanked for your efforts, too.

Guess you missed Hannity. Of course, if Trump came in with the fleshed out Articles of Confederation, you’d wand details.

Speaking of blah blah - here you are again - in full agreement with the GOPe/RINOs/Dems in your "assessment" of Trump.

Funny how when someone down the thread asked you who you saw as being president material, you copped out with a generic "a real conservative" statement instead of saying who you support - or even if you support nobody. Cute how you use a leftist's trick of claiming someone is not topic oriented while avoiding the topic....Trump answered a question - you non-answered a question.
