The venom goes both ways. It may have started from Cruz himself in private conversations with his donors. As I remember, that was the first shot between the two.
As JR posted earlier today, let’s try not to exacerbate the situation, nor bash posters venomously who prefer one candidate over the other.
___________________________________________________________
Note it was a PRIVATE conversation about how Cruz was planning to WIN. Every candidate has those conversations including Trump, or else why run if you don’t have a plan to win.
Trump had been baiting Cruz for a couple of weeks looking to get into bash mode since that is how he is, a 1 trick pony. He seized on that conversation to start a rock fight, and pull out his birther nonsense.
JMO
You're never private if you're a candidate.
.
You’re quite confused!
Trump has zero experience getting things done in government, and Cruz has shown himself the master at what really matters.
Working quietly behind the scenes, studying history, and putting what he learned into effect, preparing comprehensive and convincing Amici for court cases, he has become the only man in politics in the last 20 years to accomplish positive things for America.
Trump would be a babe in the woods, having to be led around by an ear bud, just like Obama.
Please, no more proxy presidents!
.
Its almost impossible to believe that he wrote that book back in the 1970s.
It certainly left no doubt in my mind about what is happening in Europe, and what is heading our way.
You may be right about Trump's felicity with ideas and squeezing them past the MSM filters, but do you really want a 60's liberal running the country from the White House, when we need a broader pushback in Congress and the White House against the Obama Regime's repugnant novelties?
Jim, you've supported Ted Cruz. What do you think about FRiend's assessment of Cruz's ability to defeat filtering and ambiguation by the Enemedia?
I think Cruz would do just fine, if he had the bully pulpit. Ronnie did. There isn't much the New York Slimes and their coconspirators can do to mangle and fuzz up a seven-word sentence bearing clear meanings in Anglo-Saxon English and conveying a good idea anyone can understand. Reagan was good at doing just that, following Winston Churchill's example: plain words, clear meanings.
Like I said Trump was waiting for an excuse. NBD it was gonna happen, it was just a matter of when.
We still see trumpiteers clinging to the birther smear like a security blanket even as their candidate has started his death spiral. Losing 25% of his support while Cruz and Rubio are up. Cruz gaining 3% nationally while the GOPe, Media, Carson and Trump are all going after him is remarkable.
Cruz I’ll get a boost like Rubio has from the GOPe when Carson drops out.
Someone really should reissue Camp of the Saints.
It’s almost unbelievable how accurately Raspail foresaw what was to come. The only difference is that he had the flood of refugees coming by boat when in fact they walked.
And being Muslim they are a greater threat to what’s left of Europe than the hordes Raspail imagined.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting. I have been giving a short presentation to our teens at church on my recent trips to the ME. They are attentive, ask good questions and then thank me at the end. I don’t have to get into politics, just show them the real world. Eye opener for them, especially the girls. Its a start....
Angela Merkel should be deported...to Afghanistan, put her ass in a burkha.

Shame on you for sucking up to, and spreading that lie!
It’s Trump that has dived into the gutter, been completely dishonest, mendacious, and disgusting in his attacks, first on Carson, and later on Cruz, when the reality that he couldn’t live up to the myth that the MSM had created around him sunk in.
How can you be so invidious of Trumps many dishonest attacks?

...I’m sorry Shark, but after reading everything you mentioned on this thread and being in your corner, I think you swallowed the whole FALSE narrative of the last week. No such untrustworthiness or gutter can honestly be attributed to Cruz. The media seeding by the anyone but Cruz crowd is pretty effective, but not true. The research is on all our threads, but you have to sift more finely.
ymmv
Congrats.
Meanwhile... Huma has promised there will be no coordinated attacks should Hillary or Jeb win, conceding that they couldn’t do more damage than either Hillary or Jeb. She didn’t rule out workplace violence.
Trump is the only one right on trade, he is right on immigration, right on the 2nd amendment.....and without those NONE of the rest of it matters.
Cruz has more experience studying international, military and terrorism issues than Trump. Trump just “watches the shows.” Neither have any direct military experience.
” Get ready for Rubio as the nominee. “
INFORM people, don’t give up! People have to start admitting WHO is behind all this Rubio push and WHY, and much of it has to do with ISLAM promotion!
Rubio’s deception

You really think he didn't know that his ground workers were spreading the false rumors about Carson and that it was CNN who did it? I have a bridge to sell you.
You really think it was truthful that Trump was pro-choice, pro-abort, pro-Obamacare, and pro illegal immigration six months ago? I have a bridge to sell you.
Dirt. It exists on both sides. You're a fool if you can't see it in your preferred candidate. And just in case you don't know....I preferred Cruz TWO WEEKS AGO!!!
I just don't buy the argument from BOTH SIDES, that the other is hopelessly dirty and their candidate is clean as the wind driven snow.
Now, about that bridge....I have this Nigerian bank account......
The only one the beast could beat.
Well, maybe Kasich.......
I'm not down with banning folks...
What I do want, is for people to come and appreciate the American experience - but any Muslim who embraces a post-622 AD, Al Hijra, Islamic totalitarian view has no place in western civilization.
It's time we stop blaming ourselves and demand a reform of Islam... Let me close by reminding you once again: when tolerance becomes a one way street, it leads to cultural suicide.
West gets it...totally.
