NBC Pushes Trump to the Left on Transgender Bathrooms, Abortion, Taxes

Not really pushing, long held views by your TransRepublican Candidate.

How is this a "hit piece?"

I should probably preface the following remarks by declaring that I’m not reflexively hostile to the senator from Texas, and don’t consider myself to be an enemy. Although I acknowledge his personality and policy shortcomings and understand some of the critical views of him, I don’t necessarily share them. According to the admittedly unscientific diagnostic tool ISideWith, Cruz is actually the candidate with whom I’m most politically compatible, albeit only slightly more than affable Libertarian doofus Gary Johnson.

Even the off-putting aspects of his personality that have manifested during the primary debates don’t discomfit me-perhaps because of our shared appreciation for forensics. I’d venture to guess that I actually like Senator Cruz more than many of my friends who decided to support him in Tuesday’s Republican primary.

You would argue incorrectly

FWIW, as someone who was in attendance, it was very dispiriting.

The way the anchors and ABC employees rigged it was to be expected, but Cruz's reaction was underwhelming.

That was my take as an outside viewer

I think he is a really, really smart guy. He’s incredibly disciplined. That’s evident in how he’s managed to get this far. But I think it’s in spite of his thoroughly repugnant personality that he’s gotten this far, and that’s because he’s smart. His problem is he might not be savvy.

Creepy is the word I see used over and over from people who have interacted with him.

Sounds like a bad day. I think it is demoralizing Rush and Savage.

I agree. Cruz is not presidential.

Ted is what you call book smart.

He grasps certain concepts from our Constitution, but when the peddle hits the metal, ole Ted doesn’t exactly know how to apply it.

When he wrote to Bush in 1999 regarding California’s Proposition 109 being wrong headed, he didn’t grasp that it was a State’s Rights issue.

It didn’t matter what he thought. California had a right to pass Proposition 187, and Ted’s opinion did nothing more than out him as a person who couldn’t grasp the material he was supposed to be an expert on.

The Federal government had dropped the ball. The state was left to fend for itself, and Ted’s opinion should have been supportive of it, not critical of it.

I appologize. I referenced Proposition 109 there at one point, and both references should have been to Prop 187.

Cruz’s ground game met reality.

His supporters will catch up at some point.

“I agree. Cruz is not presidential.”

He’s not even decent.
