Ted Cruz says Donald Trump won't be Republican nominee
washington times ^ | 10/8/2015 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 10/08/2015 8:45:02 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that he doesn’t think that Donald Trump will capture the 2016 GOP presidential nomination and predicted that it is only a matter of time before most of the New York billionaire’s supporters will move into his camp. During an appearance on WABC-AM Radio, host Rita Cosby asked Mr. Cruz whether he would eventually move past Mr. Trump based on his conservative principles, and the Texas Republcian said “I think that’s right.” “In time, I don’t believe Donald is going to be the nominee, and I think in time the lion’s share of his supporters end up with us,” Mr. Cruz said. Mr. Trump has tangled with most of the candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination and has touted how some of his rivals have sunk in the polls after attacking him. But he has not traded barbs with Mr. Cruz, who has been Mr. Trump’s biggest ally in the crowded GOP field. In the WABC-AM interview, Mr. Cruz continued to praise Mr. Trump, saying he liked and respected “Donald.” Mr. Cruz said Mr. Trump has boosted his candidacy and his chance of becoming the party’s standard-bearer. “I think his involvement has been tremendously helpful to my campaign because it has framed the central question of the primary as: Who will stand up to Washington?” Mr. Cruz said. “And if that’s the central question, the natural next question, that any voter will ask is okay, well who actually has stood up to Washington? Who has a record in that regard?” The Cruz campaign also announced Thursday that he will report raising $12.2 million over the last three months — exceeding the hauls of fellow Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, who plans to report $6 million, and Rand Paul of Kentucky, who raised $2.5 million.

Oh boy. He may have stepped into it.

Do people know something supporters of Trump don't?

Of course he would say that. Otherwise he wouldn’t be running himself.

I’m really hoping Trump wins.

He won’t keep DC hid.

Trump really could drain the swamp.

Without regrets.

No mercy.

He could be right

I’m ok with either one

Cruz is more doctrinaire conservative for sure but Trump is hard charging no politics

Both strong points

Can’t graft them together can we

What’s he supposed to say.?...”no I think Trump be the nominee and I gladly support him, I’m know I’m running 4th or 5th in this field but I’m ok with that and I’m only in this race to make millions of dollars for my cowboy boot collection”

Trump could maybe do ok in a small autocratic country, something he’s used to.

I agree, I don’t think this is the time to pick a fight with Trump.

Cruz didn’t call Donald bad, evil, stupid or wrong.

Trump thinks he can win it.

Cruz think he can win it.

Fair enough, gentlemen. Propose your candidacies to the voters and we’ll decide. No need for personal attacks.

Cruz is noting for the record that should Trumps supporters fall away for any reason, he Cruz is most well positioned to appeal to their sensibilities.

Quite right, that.

I sure hope Cruz is right. The only person I wouldn’t vote for would be Trump, even though I held my nose and voted for Romney. But Trump is even worse and less conservative than Romney and should actually be running as a libertarian.

This would be the first election in my life in which I did not vote.

Can you imagine the incredible people Trump can access for government reconstruction.

It boggles the mind.

I’m thinking investigations that actually go beyond dog and pony show status.

Agreed!

I think I may have been a bit hasty with my first post. I love both of these guys! May the best man win.
