Cruz is owned by a hedge fund banker (Mercer). He’ll implode faster than Carson.
Yahoo is looking to foment a fight. Cruz is smarter than that. There is plenty of time for policy differences to be highlighted.
Don’t do it, Teddy... Not a good idea.
This is as manufactured as the attacks on Trump. If I am forced to choose sides, I pick Cruz.
Who knows how much truth there is in this report... I hope not much.
Trump will really put the hurt on Cruz if Cruz is really going after him. IMO this is media trying to start something.
Ughh. What are you doing, Ted?
Really Ted?
And outright LYING about whom Trump wants on a registry ( the influx of supposed "Syrians" ! ) who are NOT "American citizens", is problematic for Ted !
Yahoo is hardly the source for analyzing the Republican viewpoint.
Cruz has never, ever championed the wholesale deportation of illegals. He has expressed his own ideas on the subject many times.
He does not want Syrian refugees, who clearly cannot be vetted, to be admitted to the US.
As for not wanting registries of Muslims, this seems reasonable. There are already databases for suspected extremist Muslims (if Obama has not gutted it).
We are all in government databases. To believe there should not be databases for a specific religion seems reasonable. I would be upset to learn there was a database for Christians.
The left wants to manufacture problems. Policy differences between Trump and Cruz will come to light, as they should, but I do not believe they will do it in a vicious way.
Trump already, months ago, questioned Cruz’ Canadian birth and, as I recall, Cruz made little. or limited, response.
If Trump starts hitting Cruz on his corker bill and TPA votes, and then ties them to CoC and CFG donations, Cruz is toast nationally. Cruz better mind his P’s and Q’s here.
I really, really like Cruz!
But he needs to run as Trump’s VP!
Trump has a better shot at winning the general and Trump’s money is needed to fight this battle.... Cruz would be running on donor’s cash and would be beholden... :-(
If Cruz is Trump’s VP I feel confident he will someday be president. It’s his best shot IMO and this election is too important... we must not lose!
I think the gopE would probably rather have Trump than Cruz. Every senator in the senate hates him.
Hmmm.
I’m a little leery of the media saying that anyone said anything.
What the media seems to do these days is say something and then accuse someone else of saying what the media itself said.
Basically manufacturing stories designed to push readers in a certain direction.
I think I’ma hold off on any story in which the media says someone said...
They aren’t worth of my trust at all any longer.
Sahil Kapur,
Eat me.
"And tunes matter too", Cruz continued. "And have I got a tune for you! This is my new 'presidential campaign theme song', which I am unveiling for you tonight!"
"Here goes!"
"Teddy Boy"
Trump needs to work out a deal with Cruz and Rubio.
Rubio I don’t want as POTUS but he would be just fine in another post.
I want all this primary crap over and done with so Trump can concentrate on destroying Hillary. He is unafraid and will say anything.... and we all know how much there is to say about Hillary :-)
My dream is a Trump/Cruz ticket and then Trump serves just one term (or less) and Cruz does 8yrs and then is appointed to the Supreme Court by his successor.
The only primary candidates with any chance of the nomination are Trump, Cruz and Rubio. So if Trump works a deal he could start hitting Hillary and be done with the primary altogether.
Rubio is who the GOPee sees as the only chance now to keep Trump from the nomination...they don’t want Cruz so they will never back him... they think (rightly so) that Rubio would be soft on immigration.
If the GOPee uses Kasich/Jeb Super-Pacs to hit Trump his response should be a humongous attack on Rubio.... no point in hitting Kasich or Jeb as they have zero chance and the GOPee attack on Trump would be solely to give a boost to Rubio.
Here’s comes Yahoo presenting Cruz as a moderate GOP candidate.
The liberals and the MSM have a major problem. So many conservative candidates to attack and so little time to destroy them. First Trump, then Carson, and now Cruz. Meanwhile, Hillary is just trying keep a low profile and avoid felony charges. The liberals are in chaos and are desperate. Their old strategies are not working as well this election cycle, and maybe won’t work at all.
Cruz has already experienced criticism and ridicule so he knows what to expect. He is smart and will defend himself. I do not think they will be as successful with Cruz or Trump. I see little difference between Trump and Cruz except I trust Cruz slightly more because of his political track record and unchanging values to date. After Obama, we need a conservative in the Whitehouse and above all one we can trust.
But I believe one candidate (Trump or Cruz or some combination of the two) will emerge as the nominee and become our next POTUS and/or VPOTUS. It is my hope and prayers the conservative grassroots can stay united in the great cause to rid this nation of the evil influences of too many years of socialism, taxation, and big government.
Cruz is the best by far.
His resume is impressive. He has proven legal and legislative experience and as a top debater he can think on his feet and doesn’t make embarrassing slips.
He will represent us well as the candidate.
Count me in not liking these two lines of attack from Cruz
Surely he’s not tin eared
What was it Shakespeare said? Much ado about nothing? There is NOTHING here folks. Just move on. Call me when the real fight starts.
