“”I don’t think he’s qualified to be president...”

Okey dokey, Donald. Right here and now, let’s do a 25 question quiz on our COTUS.

Hello? Donald? Hello?

Trump has an advantage by ‘going after’ Cruz while Cruz is still ‘unknown’ and still has Rubio dogging him.
Actually Trump and Cruz would both be better served by waiting until the establishment candidates are worn down more.

There’s been good reason for Cruz to lay low on Trump.
That’s why the establishment sent the spy to the Cruz meeting to get something to start a fight.

“He should respond with SPECIFICS that carry weight”

He did respond with specifics, as it were, if he really believed them. He probably doesn’t care what Cruz says in the Senate. But, Cruz took a slap at him (where are his specifics) so Trump slapped back.

The other day when the news broke about what Cruz said about Trump, the Cruz supporters were downplaying it, and a poster mentioned that if Trump had said that about Cruz, Cruz supporters would have their “panties in a wad”. Her prediction has come true.

As some have already said, Trump calling Cruz a maniac may be a compliment. It’s what Trump said about Cruz’s inabilty to get things done that should be a greater concern.

Give up the conservative fight and throw in with the GOPe leaders who were folding up like lawn chairs and giving Obama and the dems EVERYTHING they want?
........................................................
That is what Cruz did. Gave the Dems everything they wanted. By his vote on the Corker Bill they got the Iran “Deal,” by his vote on TPA he enabled TPP. So how come he gets such a perfect grade on National Defense and Economics/Trade when he is voting for what the NWO wants, the destruction of our Sovereignty.

“How exactly did Cruz attack Trump? Trump has been nothing but vicious since he announced.”

And opponents haven’t?

Trump has made much of the fact that he does not attack unless he is attacked. So far, that has held true.

Cruz said a few days ago that Trump and Carson did not have the judgment to have a finger on the trigger. That is what he said.

It is hard for me to believe you don’t know about that.

I am with you.....there are only two viable candidates in the Republican Party now that can get the nomination for POTUS, Donald Trump & Ted Cruz. Whichever one it is....I will vote for either man!!! But.......there is only one of these gentlemen that can win the POTUS race, and that person is Donald J. Trump!!!

Why? Because Trump will simply have a huge base of non-Republican voters, that will turn out on election day and vote for “The Donald” such as military folks, first responders..union & non-union, industrial union workers, African Americans, Hispanics, Blue Dog Democrats, females, young folks, etc.

While Cruz is a great Conservative, he is hated by the entire Republican establishment RINOs....who will never support him, and he will not get the votes of non-Republicans like Trump will!!! The smart game, IMHO.....is: the Pubbie voters of the Iowa caucus give Trump a massive victory in Iowa, Cruz follows in second place...and Trump then eventually chooses Ted Cruz to be his VP choice.....an unbeatable ticket. Bottom line result.....Trump for eight years & the Cruz for next eight years!!!

You folks in Iowa should recognize, that the GOP Establishment RINOs are pushing Ted Cruz to take down Trump....so when Cruz wins the Iowa caucus, they will have isolated Cruz all by himself, where they can then cut Cruz to pieces in upcoming primaries...destroy him politcally and, put in one of their GOP (e) “boys” to keep the GOP Establishment RINOs alive and well. And Cruz will end up trashed and beaten into political obscurity, forever!!! Time to put your thinking caps on....good folks of Iowa!!! Ted Cruz should wake up and see how they (the GOP (e) Rinos are setting him up).

If the Republicans of Iowa have one ounce of focused, brains & common sense...that is the way they should go come the caucus evening in February, In this fashion, the country gets two great POTUSs for the next sixteeen years. TRUMP FOR POTUS & CRUZ FOR VP (2016). Iowa Pubbie voters, do your thing on caucus evening, and, help make America, great, once again!!! Please realize that if Donald Trump wins the Iowa caucus...he wii be the GOP nominee for POTUS!!!

That is what I figured.

But I merely stated that a few days ago Cruz attacked Trump and Carson for lack of judgment in handling the trigger and Trump responded in kind and you tell me I am delusional?

I’m afraid that The Donald may have had his “Jump the Shark” moment with this comment.

Donald Trump neither designed, engineered or built those buildings.

His role was to develop them: buying land to build it, and then finding buyers for the units.

In the case of the Chicago tower it took him almost ten years to sell all the units, which created a negative internal rate of return on investment for him and his investors.

In the case of the Vegas tower, he promised investors he would develop two towers but failed to secure enough buyer commitments for more than one. He also failed to close on enough units in the tower that did get built, and was forced to sell hundreds of units at a loss to a timeshare company in order not to default on yet another loan.

Trump exists so other businessmen - who are actually good at what they do - can use him to generate controlled investment losses for tax purposes.

Don’t forget donating upwards of six figures to various arms of the Clinton family crime syndicate. Big accomplishment there - I don’t think the Clintons can get many uncloseted democrats to do that much.

It's a good scam. He gives the Clintons money himself, and then when they need him to, he says bad things about them which they then use as an excuse for other people to give them money.

Is there word for "more establishment than the establishment"?

If Jeb! is the GOPe, then Trump is the DNCe.

This is a conundrum for the MSM.

Donald has set a trap for the MSM haters, do thy call Trump unhinged? There by defacto saying that Cruz is not a "maniac" and mainstream. Or do they agree with Trump and let their hate Cruz meme loose.

Oh what a tangled web the Donald weaves....

So will the MSM back Cruz and say Trump is out of line? Remember the MSM hates them both. The MSM agrees with Trump and does think Cruz is a maniac......

Trump is in constitution kindergarten. He could not even begin to keep up with Cruz.
