From a guy Cruz who up to 14 months ago forgot he was still a Canadian, to criticize the use of the term Palestine when most of the UN refers to them as Palestinians is laughable.

If that is all found to nit pick he is as they say in Yiddish a Putz.

Here is the Cruz speech. The numbers of posts says it all.

I had to cut out about halfway through.

My Yorkie was whining and trying to cover his ears.

He is abnormally obsessed with Trump.

but bashing Cruz at FR shall continue unabated.

Without this double standard, there is not substance to Trump’s posing.

I have heard that Trump might be leading in the delegate count.

Maybe Cruz is trying to over take the leader and addresses himself to the flawed positions of that leader.

Does that make sense?

I haven’t listened to Cruz since his Waterloo event in Iowa.

He doesn’t have the timber.

Excellent pro-Israel speech by Sen. Cruz

I thought so, too.

I watched the first 8 minutes. It's pretty good, and the crowd seems to be responding to him. His mannerisms are a little stilted, a little practiced (we get trained as lawyers about things like what to do with the hands, how to pause for effect, and so on, but if it's not natural, it's never as good as someone who is just great at speaking.) He is hitting some points that the crowd likes, and the substance is good, on Iran, terrorists, etc.

I can watch Ted Cruz and be able to say he is doing something well. Would that Cruz supporters could do the same with Trump, who gave a really, really good speech. I sensed some resistence to Trump from the crowd, while a large part of it gave him many ovations. It was a different dynamic. With Cruz, nearly the entire crowd applauds, but they don't give standing ovations much.

Ted Cruz knocked it out of the ball park.
Trump? Damp squib.

This tweet pretty much covered it:

Someone that belittles a candidate after he drops out and a opinion show host after he dropped out of a debate with her as a moderator is small.

Vain? Really you want to go there?

Let’s see....6 threads enthusiastic response to Trump’s AIPAC speech vs. 1 for Cruz-looks like no contest to me!

But the standing O was more complete. While not as likeable as Trump, Cruz makes a deeper connection and understands Obama’s boycott against Israel.

Cruz put a hold on State department nominees.

Cruz uses the Senate to fight these issues, even when Senators like Graham do not agree with his tactics....

Guess you didn’t listen to his speech. Full of detail, completely knowledgable, many standing Os. Heard Ted at YAF. Just ok.

It’s not complicated. Simply watch both speeches and honestly assess who did the better job. On the other hand, I suppose it’s easier to just keep repeating the same lame Cruz talking points. I have never changed my thinking about a candidate as I have with Cruz. I have gone from an ardent supporter to actually disliking the man ...all in about one month.

Trump did good too. Cruz hit Trump on being neutral on the palis and rightly so.

Trump/Cruz

Not hardly! No way should anyone bother to tell you "what the response was like!" Having not heard even a snipet of the speech, still you "know enough to criticize!"

Not surprising though, Trumpsters, like the man himself, if it's not about him (their leader) they're not interested.

Cruz opened by reminding AIPAC attendees that Palestine, as a country, ceased to exist some 65 years ago, reminding his audience that Trump had just claimed he could negotiate with Palestine that he "would negotiate with!"

Hard to negotiate with a country that does not exist, even for the self-described, greatest negotiator ever!

Someone said this earlier. Ted panders so poorly that he looks like he is rehearsing in front of a mirror. Dude’s pretty phony and plastic at times.
