Only a Sith Lord deals in absolutes. I do not hate Ted so Donald is wrong.

Anyone who calls out McConnell for being a liar gets my vote.

What Trump is saying is right. It’s great Ted stood up to the establishment but he can’t get anything done, not really. If your entire legislative agenda is protest, you’re paralyzed as far as any accomplishments.

Cruz says he’s like Reagan but Reagan brought the opposition along, didn’t shut them out.

Talk about the “Ugly American.” Do we really want to have this bully being the face of America? That’s what Carly Fiorina should be asking.

I am trying to remain neutral in this because I’d be happy with one or the other or a combination of the two. But “nobody likes him - he’s a very nasty guy” is not the equivalent to “everybody hates Ted.”

I don’t want someone who makes deals “I’ll vote for your wasteful welfare spending program if you vote for my wasteful military spending program.”

I want the man who will make deals: “I’ll vote to cut wasteful and immoral Planned Parenthood spending, if you vote to cut wasteful pork barrel military programs and he votes to cut wasteful welfare and social programs.”

Cruz is exactly the kind of deal maker that those of us paying for these bad deals want.

Everybody may be a stretch. But almost everybody is probably reasonable since no one in Congress is willing to pass a resolution on Cruz being eligible for the presidency. To be fair, some do like Ted...Goldman Sachs and Citibank. There are probably others.

Trump: “It was a brave stand.” “He (Cruz)shouldn’t be controversial because what he’s doing is right.” “He really is a special guy. He went to Harvard. Great student. … He went out and became a great lawyer. I wish I knew him then.”

But Trump loves the Clintons:
“Trump: “I’ve known her and her husband and I really like them both a lot, and I think she really works hard... I think she does a good job... The record of Hillary Clinton and how did she do as Secretary of State probably above and beyond everybody else.”

expect Trump to continue to move more to the left and talk about reaching across the aisle as he gets the nomination.

Some people don’t seem to understand deal making at all. If you call the person you have to work with a liar it’s not very conducive to progress on anything.

I thought it was great that Ted called McConnell a liar - but I don’t think for a second it helped Ted develop a working relationship with him or anyone else. If there is no working relationship there will be nothing accomplished.

I really thought the Dems would Palinize Ted before Trump did.
