Again I ask: is this a positive conservative message?

That's the best you will get with Paper Tiger Ted and his 3 year list of "conservative" (Corker, TPA, H1B, etc) accomplishments.

...and Cruz’s push for quadrupling the H1B visas to displace more American workers.

And Cruz’s wife coauthoring the CFR paper on removing American sovereignty and removing the Canadian and Mexico borders. I know its his wife, but the paper is so disturbing, how can she have such a belief system and be married to him? Maybe both of them are married to Goldman Sachs?

If what he says is true, then I guess we better get used to Trump as the GOP Nominee because Cruz will never beat him.

Thanks for the reminder.

The Corker deal is a landmine......Cruz signed on to Corker rallying the radical left to protect Obama on the $150 billion Iran nuclear deal giveaway.

I agree. I'd like to be able to vote for Cruz but some of his double-dealings make me shake my head. He didn't dare vote against TTP because he had already been so vilified as an outsider, a malcontent, at least IMO.

But support for the gutless, traitorous Corker bill is beyond slyness, beyond calculatedness.

There was absolutely no reason to vote for that global death warrant other than to keep things comfortable for McConnell, Corker and the scum like them.

Lets hope Trump rises above bickering with Sgt Cruz of the Mounties and from here on, takes on Bernie and Hillary and the big issues with a powerful voice for truth and common sense

If Cruzers cannot grasp this reality of his support of Obamatollah's anti-Israel and anti-America plan to provide nukes to Iran, there is no hope for them.

Gotta defend Ted on this one
He was being sarcastic
Trump used all those insults on all those people and Ted was parodying him

You nailed it. Cruz/s vote on the Corker bill is a clue....mean G/S will be getting a cut of the $150 billion Iran nuclear deal giveaway.

=================================================

Globalist Goldman/Sachs (now on hiatus from her G/S $700,000 job must love these Cruz votes.

<><> Cruz voted to fast-track TPP knowing Obama considers TPP central to his presidential legacy and to his foreign policy and economic legacies.

TPP is best understood against the backdrop
of Obama's post-presidential get-rich-quick foundation plans.

NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and
TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.

All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

re: Cruz taking Carson's votes.

Cruz is going after Trump, full throttle with his ads. I'd think that's risky, with what's obviously Trump's horde of excellent research about all the candidates. It plays into Ted's "nasty" image, reinforcing his do what it takes campaign in Iowa and the annoying begging for money.

What if Cruz succeeds in turning some of Trump's votes? Will they go to Cruz or someone else? With Christie's attacks on Rubio, the votes that left Rubio went to others besides Christie, and ended up sinking Christie in the Three Governors contest. And what about Trump supporters? Will the assault make them more likely to get out and vote?

Cruz makes a lot of miscalculations, but always talks his way out of them or past them. This one? It might just reinforce Cruz's stereotype as being "nasty".
