Donald may be projecting, as the psychologists say.

Yeah, for Iowa, this is a big blunder by Trump. Cruz should take that to the bank in the debate Tuesday.

I'm surprised how Levin rated Cruz on immigration. You'll notice Cruz keeps using the expression, "common sense immigration reform" and he is for letting them all stay. Cruz keeps dodging amnesty questions by the press but I'd expect Levin to know better.

Cruz Tries to Claim the Middle Ground on Immigration

What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already: A path to legal status, but not to citizenship. A green card with no right to naturalization.

snip

Besides barring citizenship while instituting some level of legalization for those here already, Mr. Cruz has proposed increasing the number of green cards awarded annually, to 1.35 million from 675,000. He also wants to eliminate the per-country limit that he said left applicants from countries like Mexico, China and India hamstrung when they tried to gain legal entry to this country.

You can take Trump out of the Democrat Party, but you can’t take the Democrat out of Trump.

Sounds like a compliment from Trump.

This latest Trump volley is exactly what the MSM wants...a food fight between started between Trump and Cruz...to diminish both of them and help the Hildabeast. I hope Cruz does not take the bate on this latest Trump rant.

“This is going to backfire.”

How many times have we heard that since Trump announced in June? LOL!

WALLACE: Ted Cruz.

LIMBAUGH: Brilliant, and conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend.

Donald may get a hand full of blacks to vote for him but, they are not republicans so here in the primaries this was not a good move.

Still he had to answer the question, and for his purposes he gave a good answer.

Me I ain’t a politician and I already posted what I feel about affirmative action above.

I am for merit.

GOPe is probably having an orgasm seeing this. Trump and Cruz going at each resulting in both being severely damaged is their ideal scenario, just what they want.

I agree with you, but my only issue with Cruz is what I see during his campaign stops. In many cases nowhere as many show up for him as Trump.
Cruz is great, but the lack of overall appeal makes me worry about the general election.

Trump is the same person he was in 2011, when he said we should "go down the line" in a bi-partisan way, reach across the aisle, and get along with the Democrats.

Notice how he didn't say that Democrats should reach across the aisle and get along with Republicans.

"I don't think he's qualified to be president," Trump said

This is a foolish statement. Trump is starting to lose me. The guy does not have a filter. At first, I enjoyed his PC-free and unscripted delivery. Now it appears that he does not give any forethought before he speaks. He is also fairly inarticulate for such a smart businessman. Not looking very Presidential right now.

Don’t go there, Donald! You are exposing yourself.

In The Year of the Outsider this is not a good move by The Donald. Calling out McConnell was carefully orchestrated. And it worked. It is one of the main methods utilized by Cruz, a sitting U.S. Senator, to achieve his very valuable Outsider Status. This is not a good year to be defending the Senate Leadership. The last time I checked Congress was sitting somewhere in the 6% approval range.

I applied the Wifey Test to this latest move by Trump. It was thumbs down. And she is a big Trump Fan.

“Don’t go there, Donald! You are exposing yourself.”

I am sure Cruz is called much worse by fellow senators.

Were you as solicitous for Trump when Cruz jumped him.

Looks like that possibility of a Cruz-Trump ticket is beginning to fade away.

“Trump is doing just what the GOPe and Hillary had hoped he would do.”

Is what Trump said about Hillary on Fox News this morning what Hillary had hoped he would say?
