Many Trump enthusiasts cite Heidi Cruz’s stint with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), where she advocated for the private sector, as an indication that presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz is a “globalist.” If Heidi Cruz’s connection to the CFR makes Ted Cruz a globalist (despite Cruz’s extensive record of aggressively defending U.S. sovereignty), any thinking Trump supporter would also want to take into account presidential candidate Donald Trump’s repeated and vocal admiration for CFR President Richard Haass.
During the GOP debate in Detroit on March 3, Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked Donald Trump for “two or three names” of people he trusts for national security. Trump responded with three names, one of whom was Richard Haass, who Trump referred to as “excellent.”
This is the relevant portion of the exchange:
BAIER: Mr. Trump, you’ve repeatedly deflected calls for specific national security or defense policy plans with the claim that you’ll ask the best people when you become president, and take their advice.
So who are the best people? Can you reveal two or three names that you trust for national security?
TRUMP: I think [Council on Foreign Relations President] Richard Haass is excellent. I have a lot of respect for him. I think General Keane is excellent. I think that there are — I like Colonel Jacobs very much. I see him. I know him. I have many people that I think are really excellent but in the end it’s going to be my decision. [emphasis added]
Additionally, The New York Times reported that Donald Trump personally met with Richard Haass in August of 2015. Haas “offered to hold briefings with all candidates from both parties, and that so far Senator Marco Rubio, Jim Webb, Hillary Clinton, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio

Drama.
OH goody. A screed by a New Zealand version of Lew Rockwell. Just what we need
Come on now.
Trump is the ONE GUY who is for America bringing back American jobs.
Wow the spin is deep this year.
LOL
Talk about a globalist for who they are, and the cockroaches come out from under every wall to prop them up.
Heidi worked for the CFR for five years.
Sorry, that’s a massive fail, and the fact that she has said we get two for one, OH HELL NO!
You don’t even try to refute the facts presented in this article, I guess you concede that it’s true that Donald Trump is the real globalist.
Aww, cry me a river.
This is such bull-—t!
When we brought up Heidi working for the CFR and Goldman Sachs and saying we would get two for one, you folks had nothing but praise for her and Ted.
Now I’M supposed to talk about this issue and give it respect.
Like that’s gonna happen.
Take this right back to command central.
This part was started but most of it cut off from your excerpy — everyone met w Haas:
“so far Senator Marco Rubio, Jim Webb, Hillary Clinton, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio and Jeb Bush had made appearances at the Council on Foreign Relations.”
So...who the freak cares what this NWO, New Zealander spews? Last time I checked, USA was a sovereign nation and our leaders are elected by our LEGAL citizens.
Trump is just throwing out names because he is weak in that area on being able to talk the talk with the neocon elitists.
Trump’s most serious statements are:
“Putin bombing ISIS”
“Putin is not the worst guy”
Cruz will give you 2000 words on why servicemen need to be put in harms way on a patch of desert just because Putin is making America look weak. Skin in the game like the Jebster
So he say he like someone, so article automatically assume he also like EVERYTHING about someone. Leaping to conclusion
Cruz will give you 2000 words on why servicemen need to be put in harms way on a patch of desert just because Putin is making America look weak. Skin in the game like the Jebster”
Cruz can bray out 2000 words on almost anything. Besides the guy himself, my ears hurt in advance contemplating his droning and lecturing if we have to hear him for four years.
Which is doubtful since he is just one of the GOPe’s ladies in waiting to be the designated loser.
Wrong, Cruz has explained perfectly how his economic plan will bring back jobs by reducing regulations and taxes.
The idea of punishing companies with tariffs is unamerican and a horrible way to “promote” job creation. It’ll cause severe inflation and put retailers out of business because people won’t be able to buy their products anymore.
This article does nothing for me...A lot of reaching for conclusions based off what he said at a debate...While Heidi and Ted have been living Goldmen Sachs and the CFR for years, and while being involved in politics.
Whatta buncha crap. I can admire people independent of their specific policy positions.
Here is the difference:
Heidi Cruz PARTOOK and PARTICIPATED with the CFR. She just not partook in meeting but participated in a North American Report. Yes Yes, I heard she placed an objection about how private business will help compare to government as if they care. The fact she PARTOOK AND PARTICIPATED.
Donald Trump as of my knowledge was never a member of the CFR nor did he partook in their activities. Being a Billionaire, yes he knows many wealthy people, especially those who happen to be members of the CFR.
Unlike Donald, Ted Cruz campaign staff is filled with NWO CFR members Establishment.
