Trump on 4, and Cruz on THREE. Even Sharyl Atkkinson has Trump!
(This is the “thinkprogress” site, but I hope they have accurately quoted Ted Cruz on this. Hell for radical socialists, Heaven for conservatives.)
Ted Cruz Promises To Create The Most Right-Wing Supreme Court In History

I never thought I would be so happy to see “The Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread” as I am this morning!!! I am so sick of the majority of postings on Free Republic these past couple of weeks. Everyone, of course, is 100% entitled to their personal and political opinions.....but there has been so much useless ‘blabber” put forth on this wonderful site!!! I am hoping that after the Iowa Caucus concludes....the useless blabber will stop.
Of course, IMHO, the blabber on the TV news media is sometime even worse, filled with lies and misstatements galore across the board. The good news concerning a lie telling media is most folks, already have their number, and, pay little heed to anything they say!!! The best farce was the Fox campaign to tell us how good their debate was minus Donald Trump. Here’s the facts: The first Fox News Channel debate drew 24,000,000 viewers....this recent FNC debate was down 50% to 12,500,000 viewers, a massive failure!!! In fact: Trump with his “Veterans Rally” drew about 14,000,000 viewers from CNN, MSNBC, C-Span, OAN Numerous Live Feeds, etc. So much for FNC!!!
I am hoping that sanity returns To Free Republic, but....then again, who knows what lurks in the hearts and minds of the people in the American Republic that gave this country Barack Hussein Obama as POTUS!!! I sincerely hope that most Americans have learned you do not put an enemy of the American state and nation as its POTUS!!!
Wow, the Sunday media decided to invite Cruz on. I guess they know he is the real thing...
Trump and Cruz are everywhere today on the Talk shows, even on Fox!
Has anyone else seen this tweet? Any verification? What does “CIA security detail” mean?
IOWA for TRUMP â€@LandmanMarius 13h13 hours ago
BREAKING: CIA release 2 US Fighter jets to accompany all Trump flights. What does Trump CIA security detail know?
As I read all of the comments after the Thursday night viewing options, and from what I saw of the FNC debate, all I could think of was the Bill Cosby routine about the coin toss between Captain Washington and Captain Cornwallis. Washington wins the toss, and the referee explains to Cornwallis, "Okay Captain Washington's men will dress in different colors and hide behind trees, and your men will have to wear red uniforms and march in a straight line."
Donald Trump made a good decision to avoid the ambush. Makes you wonder what the other candidates will do to prepare for the next debate controlled by any media source and not the candidates themselves. Bernie Sanders and Martin what's-his-name on the other side should pay attention as well.
Sanders is listed as I-VT
Has any Progressive or media type raised the question why an Independant is running under the Democrat banner?
Can you imagine the debates if the parties were flipped and the rats would be subjected to gotcha questions? Hillary would be destroyed by her lies for the past 30 years.
Fox / Wallace is a joke. Questions to Cruz:
* Drop in polls
* Reaction to Trump criticisms
* Trump’s positions on Obamacare
* Wallace blatantly defends bogus fact checker on Obamacare and job stats; Cruz responds well
* (the only one with substance) Cruz’s health care plan (Cruz does ok: but fails to say: “Chris, not all solutions are political”)
* Rubio and Paul name-calling
* the 30-sec response bickering; “lawyerly instincts”?
Interesting comment - repeated ad nauseum by Little man Mickey regarding 13 million new jobs, while totally refusing to acknowledge that today the total number of employed is as low as in 1977.
Fairy fails do come true Mickey - YEB will be president.
Fox news - as always just another propaganda outlet - Fair an balanced - not so much
Wallace questions to Trump:
* what about the new polls?
* what do you say to voters who think you snubbed them by not being in OUR debate?
* what about what Cruz said about why you skipped debate (hiding record from voters)? (Trump back on the loans and citizenship thing)
* what about your donations to Clinton Foundation (Trump says Clintons spent poorly; that was a chance to hit Hillary that Trump missed)
* what about evangelicals support getting better? (nice softball) BUT then a question about gay marriage (some substance: Trump prefers states decide and will consider appointing judges)
* what about Ivanka’s baby?
The only “issue” was gay marriage. Important, but how about more substance: ISIS, the GNP, immigration, debt, the unemployed, looming recession?
Fox is supposed to be the conservative network?
I have been constantly amazed at this mans energy and just how hard he is working and doing it a large part by his own efforts.
Sure he has 22,000 employees that he has to meet a payroll for twice each month I imagine, and yet he is running around having more fun then he ever thought.
This guy as president is going to be awesome
Ok Freepers, want to put an idea out there
According to polling a plurality of Iowa voters are either undecided or soft in their support for any candidate.
Religious voters play a significant role in Iowa politics.
Religious voters have demonstrated in the past a distaste for candidate who engage in the bare knuckle politics Cruz/Trump have recently engaged in.
Historically polling in Iowa has been rather in accurate. Iowa almost always produces a surprise result.
Rubio has gone full out of for the religious votes. He is also working very hard to peal away some of Carson’s support. His ads spend a lot of time with him talking about his religious faith. His stump speechs spend a lot of time on his faith and “not voting for who you like but vote for who can win”
Team Cruz switched from targeting Trump to going after Rubio today.
So question:
What happens to the campaign if Rubio wins, or finishes a strong 2nd in Iowa?
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Closing round-table comments
Two women both wanting most just to see Trump lose.
A previous STATE OF THE UNION had White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and the host failed to ask about Benghazi and what did Panetta do when Obama gave the order to ‘do everything possible to save those lives’ and why no one else seems to have followed that order. (Obama claims he gave that order after receiving the call from Benghazi, during his debates with Romney.)
Jake Tapper also failed to ask McDonough anything about ISIS. CNN should get a more enlightened host or feed Tapper more relevant questions to current events.
