He should know by now that whatever the media claims Trump said is not true.....shouldn’t have responded to the question until he checked it out himself

Brilliantly done Senator Cruz.

This is exactly the way a sucessful canidate positions themselves. Someone needs to teach Mr Trump how to do this. Wish all the GOP candidates everywhere learned to do this. N

ail the Democrats, and the media all you want, but stay on message, do not let the Media trick you into these ridiculous off topic personal attacks on other GOP canidates. The minute you attack a fellow Republican THAT attack, and not your message, becomes the story line

I don’t get it. What did Trump supposedly say that was so bad? Monitoring immigrants at a time of terrorism? I’m more concerned that Hillary is not in prison.

Cruz is always a class act. I wish the Trump/Carson/Whatever supporters - AND all of the Cruz supporters on FR - would take a lesson from Senator Ted Cruz. We don’t need to attack the other republicans.

What we need is to choose the best conservative for president and do our best to bring all conservatives into the fold as supporters and then to bring independents, moderates, and even liberals from both parties into the tent to support a real leader who will do the right things for America, things that have to be done from 2017 to 2021 to have any chance of national survival.

Numerous media reports that Cruz condemned Trump. Yes, I know that this article proves that such is a lie - Cruz apparently did not fall for the bail, but it is out there that Cruz condemned Trump for words that Trump NEVER said. See how the game is played?

Media is and always has been the enemy for at least 50 years!

The media are like degenerate, very late Roman Empire Romans trying to get gladiators and Christians to fight each other for their amusement.

So, I’ll tell you my policy views, but I have no interest in attacking Donald Trump or, for that matter, attacking Ben Carson. Both are good men. And I’m not interested in throwing rocks at either one of them.

Cruz remains consistent in his policy of not trashing other candidates. Integrity matters.

Trump and Cruz are playing nice with each other. Looks like we’ll have either a Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump ticket.

Cruz was being coy...he had to know that it’s a media smear & Trump did not call for a Muslim database...it’s all over the news.

Translated:
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) refused to attack his 2016 opponent Donald Trump on Friday, despite a reporter's persistent attempts to spark a war of words.

"I'm a big fan of Donald Trump's, but I'm not a fan of government registries of Americans citizens," he said when asked about Trump's remarks on the need for a Muslim-tracking database. "The First Amendment protects religious liberty, and I've spent the past several decades defending the religious liberty of every American."

When a reporter then pressed him on whether he was concerned about Trump's "messaging" as the frontrunner, Cruz shut down the line of questioning.

"Listen, I like Donald Trump. I recognize the media would love to get me and other candidates to attack Donald Trump," Cruz added. "There may be other candidates who want to do that.” I ain't going to do it. So, I'll tell you my policy views, but I have no interest in attacking Donald Trump or, for that matter, attacking Ben Carson. Both are good men. And I'm not interested in throwing rocks at either one of them."

Watch the exchange via NBC

(Comment from me, a FR monthly contributor:
Why oh why can't Free Republic correct the problems with quotes and other symbols. It's been that way now for a couple of months. A article like this one is unreadable and if it hadn't been for remarks by Ted Cruz, I would have skipped it entirely. GET IT FIXED DAMNIT!!)

Ted Cruz knows how broken-hearted Trumpsters will be when Trump flames out.

He’s a smart cookie.
