A Rising GOP Star’s Dilemma: Should She Back Trump?
http://www.wsj.com ^ | April 15, 2016 | Beth Reinhard

Posted on 04/17/2016 9:03:54 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Most anywhere Nicole Malliotakis goes, she gets the question—in the Staten Island senior center, on the streets of Brooklyn, at her parents’ kitchen table. Why aren’t you supporting Donald Trump? Earlier this year, Ms. Malliotakis, a 35-year-old New York assemblywoman, was her state’s leading backer of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. She openly criticized Mr. Trump’s rhetoric against women and Muslims and his past donations to Democrats. In tweets she added: “#NEVERTRUMP.”

Peter King is only known because he attacked the shutdown.

So did the Democrats. And now, so are Trump supporters.

I am part Greek, and disgusted a Greek woman would defend Muslim refugees, who had utterly decimated that nation.

No, he is not. But your argument for Groupthink is duly noted.

Where did she defend muslim refugees? I see where she attacked rhetoric, but not where she defended muslim refugees.

There is a Staten Island Advance article in which she accused Trump of "scapegoating refugees". This just 3 weeks after San Bernardino.

I respectfully disagree. Trump’s popularity for some on the right is, as was Obama’s for the left, based on a cult of personality.

>>Ted Cruz is a RINO. He’s a liar. He has been associated with the Bushes at least as far back as 17 year ago. In 1999 he was helping Bush to craft statements against states rights, against clamping down on illegal immigration, and using Leftist “for the children” type phrasing to pull it off.

>>Last year he told us he was instrumental in getting “the Gang of Eight” bill defeated in the Senate. It passed in the Senate. Ted just can’t stop lying. He stated that he offered up two amendments as poison pills for “the Gang of Eight” bill. I started looking that up to find out who all voted with him on those amendments. Then I found out those were submitted in committee, not on the floor of the Senate. They were never up for consideration by the full body of the Senate. That seemed misleading to me. One of Ted’s supposed “poison pills” was an increase of H1-B visas to 500% of it’s then current value. The implication was that Ted didn’t really want it, he just submitted it as a poison pill. Two years later, Ted was still pushing for that increase in the H1-B visas. Last October or so, he had to withdraw that support in lieu of studying the issue more closely. So he had been lying about that too.

>>Ted lies over and over again. He hasn’t been a stalwart Conservative. He voted with the Democrats on the Corker Bill. He pushed for the TPA bill and then withdrew his own vote just prior to the vote on the matter. By this time who knows how many people he had talked into support it.

>>Now Ted is concentrating his efforts on taking down the only person that can bring real change to the GOPe.

Thanks for your comments.

I can’t get past thinking this would essentially be Bush’s third term.

One can support Trump without being against Cruz.

You keep pretending that YOU are the ONLY one who knows politics and infer that I don't know anything. That's an extremely arrogant, not to mention pathetically STUPID claim.

I'm positive that I know at least as much and probably MORE than you do, about politics and American political history. For example, I knew about wee barry Obama PRIOR to his running for ANY Political office and THAT and a couple of bucks will buy me or you a coffee. LOL

How many city/town, state, national pols and back room guys have you known PERSONALLY and also were/are family and/or your personal FRIENDS? You wanna play childish games? I'll beat you like a drum!

You're WRONG about Obama....originally he wanted to be MAYOR OF CHICAGO! He idolized the CROSS DRESSING ( he wore ladies' frilly under wear, under his suits; something I bet YOU never knew! ) Mayor Harold Washington! So no, YOU do NOT know it "all"!

The Castro bastard twins', from Texas, mother FOUNDED LA RAZA ! So there's something else YOU didn't know!

So now that you've been knocked off your high horse...go look up some more facts, that you still don'/t know; I'm certain the amount is MASSIVE! LOL

Sorry, Hoodat. Just can’t support Cruz. As I posted before:

Ted Cruz is a member of a bizarre religious cult.
His preacher father, who once fought along side Castro, has stated that his son was anointed to distribute the wealth,(?!)
and his preacher father welcomed a radical to speak in his ‘church’ about KILLING HOMOSEXUALS (!)Advocating Killing ANYone is not Christian. (Google it all)

With Cruz’ voting record, Senate attendance record, membership in a bizarre religious cult, lack of experience/
credentials/accomplishments, history of lying and dirty tricks plus his EXTREME DISLIKE by almost all who know him, will be made a laughing stock by the witch and the rats.
They will DESTROY him.

I don’t know about you people, but I’m sick of foreigners with sealed records- and yes, Cruz’ records ARE SEALED

.

Donald, not being PC crippled like all the rest, (which he has proven time and again) and knowing all the dirt on the witch, will SLAUGHTER her.

Donald, with a history of brilliantly running his businesses, CAN run this country. He will surround himself with brilliant cabinet members and advisors as only he could do.
SO- he once proclaimed himself a Democrat. So did Reagan.

Donald WILL secure our open borders and investigate/deport the dangerous muslim colonists Obama has imported by the thousands.

OUR LONGED FOR REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION, CORRUPT VOTING SYSTEM AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS IS HERE AND IS BEING LED BY DONALD.

He hears WE The People and shares our anger and concern.
He is ‘owned’ by no one.
He is one of us..billions be d^mned.
He is our voice. He is an AMERICAN who loves his country.
WE MUST NOT LET HIM DOWN.

I’m not asking you to support Cruz. But just remember this after the Convention when Hillary start running adds showing how Donald Trump said she would make a great President, including copies of those checks Trump stroked to her campaign.

Dio, you and I were 100% on the same page with Socialist Slick Willard, but comparing him to Sen. Cruz is ludicrous and offensive.

Baloney. I said I’m sick of seeing the back and forth garbage on this website. I don’t like the attacks on Trump, and I don’t like the attacks on Cruz. It’s that simple.

An active Presidential candidate in serious contention is never going to declare they’d take VP, you know that.
