Awesome ad! Trump lays out his plans to cut deals with the establishment, praises his friends Hillary, Pelosi, Reid and Schumer.
Or a flip-flopper just like their kingmaker.
It is mind blowing how they hate what has happened to this once fine nation, yet are being suckered in by a modern day PT Barnum(who stated their was a sucker born every minute)
Here it goes.
I do believe Trump is a Democrate plant. A few weeks ago, Harry Reid stated how he liked Trump, he was standing with a group of people and Schumer was in attendance blairing at Reid. It caught me off guard. Like, “shut your mouth Harry, you will blow our plan”.
Has anyone heard the left DC critters attack Trump like they do any of the other Republican candidates? I haven’t really heard a peep out of Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, about Donald And furthermore, McCain should be screaming from the rooftops against Trump after his comments about him. After the first week of Trump hitting on him....silence. But they sure can’t stand Cruz and make no bones about it! No one gets as much heat as he does. Rubio gets picked on, but they have backed off of him as well.
Just something that this video has brought up and I have been thinking for awhile. Once Jeb was shown not to be a favorite by the people, I believe everyone made a pact to allow Trump to get away with his show as long as Hillary was sinking in the poles.
Just my .02
That’s what primaries are for, figuring that out BEFORE we elect someone.
No, you’re reading from a translation with a man-made agenda.
We repent for our sins and receive automatic forgiveness except for one that is unforgivable. That’s a huge part of the Covenant.
God never contradicts Himself.
Oh my Lord, seriously? Who are we going to cannibalize next?Rush?
The level of contortions that are used to excuse the Donald’ s current and former positions is absurd. Now the great one is verboten? I’d vote for him over DT any day and twice on Sunday.
the ad is superficial nonsense
it is as if Cruz is like the kid outside the bakery looking in and wishing he could have a cupcake.
Socializing and deal making make the world go round.
cruz wants to stop the world so he can get on
Go Dr Ben
Best ad of the cycle. I hope that runs on TV today.
You claim it is a fabrication.
I think we are done here.
FReegards.
You seem to have no clue what you are talking about. You are either intentionally blinding yourself or more likely trying to distort things so that they look better for your favorite candidate. Those of us who enjoy watching the presidential election game every four years and have watching it very closely for many decades see it differently. There are many parallels between this election and the election in 1980. There is a level of enthusiasm that has not been seen in many years. In the early stages there are two men fueling this excitement, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
My wife goes to a Vietnamese “nail salon”. All of the employees are from Vietnam; they all were for Obama previously. This time they are all for Trump. When my wife told me... it surprised me almost as much as it would you. Admittedly they are mostly one issue voters. They all came here legally; each had to wait for years in a third world hell hole before they were able to come to America. They don't like that others are being able to just come here illegally and nothing happens to them. So that is one example, but there are many, many others.
If you look at the campaign events, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the ones who are drawing the crowds. Hillary is dead in the water. Ted Cruz is trying to generate enthusiasm by doing things like by bringing in Glenn Beck and sending out the ridiculous and offensive “shaming” mailer where he threatens to send out a followup to your neighbors if you don't go to the caucus? Incredible! These moves reek of desperation and the mailer just reinforces the perception that he is not a likable guy.
The only people that Ted gets a lot of excitement from are his hard core followers. Unfortunately if the Free Republic Caucus is any indicator even they are losing momentum. Two weeks ago 175 people voted for Ted Cruz in the “caucus” yesterday it was down to 70 and Trump had a nearly two to one advantage. This is a small sample from a very conservative community but to me it seems like a rough gauge of enthusiasm.
Tomorrow we will start to get a little better idea as to which direction this election is really going. Because the truth is both you and I and everyone else can only speculate at this point. After New Hampshire things will become much clearer. Then we will have Nevada and then South Dakota; if Cruz is unable to take at least one state before Super Tuesday many people will not consider him to be a viable candidate. Iowa has been considered his best chance to do this, so I understand why you are presenting your distorted picture of both history and the current situation and I don't blame you. It really is make or break time for Cruz.
The unaltered Hebrew certainly isn’t a fabrication, FRiend.
The very less than great one lied his ass off on that chart.
I use to respect him too.
Senator Joni Ernst, veteran, elected in ‘14 by 8 points statewide after defeating a large field of primary competitors, including Trump’s state chair, with the help of an endorsement from Sarah Palin. Still considered an exemplar of ‘Iowa Nice” in spite of using similar mailers. Which seemed to have worked well for her.
That’s pretty much spanned out far enough I can see the edges fraying....Principles serve the role of an anchor or foundation for a ship in its journey when confronted with conflicting issues. Trumps change depending on how the wind blows.
It’s kind of misleading to call the two examples “similar.” As the old adage goes, the devil is in the details.
That envelope of Cruz’s campaign was at best sleazy looking like those “almost contest wins” that come from time to time, and at worst frighteningly misleading that some agency has policed your voting record and found a “violation” which is nothing more than one’s right to sit out (and might have been the thing with integrity to do if one, say, had Alzheimers badly enough). We do not yet have forced plebiscites.
What you are calling separate, actually both involve tuning in to spiritual phenomena.
The bible speaks of “TURNING” hearts to the right. We are born sinners then, even if we yield to the Lord, we still learn more and more as we go. If a heart claims to be set in stone to the right... some cheer, you may even cheer, I say beware this looks like it could be superficial.
No ...I’m not speaking of “tuning into spiritual phenomena”....or for that matter any degree of hocus pocus....I’m talking about Principles... Don’t make more of it then it is.
No hocus pocus except the “hoc est corpus” of Calvary (not the thing claimed to happen in some churches).
It is as firm a foundation of this reality as the most scientifically accepted physics.
You can mock and reject, but you will only break yourself against it. You cannot break it.
Your idea is superficial, period. I say that quite confidently now.
And how many jobs has Trump’s deals create? Tax revenue?
Thanks for the details.
Yes, I’ve seen the chart. And it’s obviously biased. Dramatic hand-waving has proven to be an unreliable metric for most anything. If the chart is in fact based on Levin’s rhetorical hype, whoever’s responsible for the aggregate is either ignorant of Levin’s emotions, or deceitfully exploiting the trust of Mark’s audience.
In general, I agree with your points. I recently stated that Cruz is the better technician, and Trump the better leader. But either as POTUS works for me.
