Pro-Ted Cruz robocall blasting Trump and Gov. Haley on Confederate flag
Postandcourier ^

Posted on 02/19/2016 1:12:51 PM PST by springwater13

A pro-Ted Cruz robo-telephone call is blasting Donald Trump for butting his nose into support of the Confederate flag coming down.

The recorded message, coming late in the campaign, also takes a jab at Gov. Nikki Haley.

“Put it in a museum, let it go,” the recording says, quoting Trump and his view on removing the flag.

An announcer then picks up by saying “That’s Donald Trump supporting Nikki Haley removing the battle flag from the Confederate memorial in Columbia.”

It adds “people like Donald Trump are always butting their noses into other people’s business,” and that “Trump talks about our flag like it’s a social disease.”

Desperation from Cruz "our" flag. WTF? The confederate flag is Ted Cruz's flag? Yeah, that's going to play well in the Northern States.

Desperate act of a slimeball loser. More and more I am hating Cruz. Not only am I hoping he loses this POTUS run, but that he also loses his Senate seat.

I don’t think a conservative can win a northern liberal state unless they adopt liberal policies like Trump.

So was Canada! Sort of....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Albans_Raid

The St. Albans Raid was the northernmost land action of the American Civil War. It was a controversial raid from Canada by Confederate soldiers meant to rob banks to raise money and to trick the Union Army to divert troops to defend their northern border against further raids. There were no more raids. It took place in St. Albans, Vermont, on October 19, 1864.

Attacking a popular sitting governor in a state you are trying to win a primary in? Cruz is losing it...

Cruz could say he likes Donald Trump and the trumpbots would accuse of him of trying to steal Donald’s votes by associating with him.

Cruz might be a slimeball loser, but I’m not sure why pointing out that Trump agrees with those that ordered the Confederate Battle Flag taken down makes him one.

Cruz replacing humans with robots. He has never created a job, but he seems great at destroying them.

Cruz appears to want to win in the worst possible way.

He may accomplish exactly that.

Cruz is zeroing in on the big issues: gluten free MRIs, the Confederate Flag, fun with Photoshop, etc.

Yeah, I don’t get the hysterics either. You don’t like what the machine is saying on the other end, hang up! With caller ID, I don’t even pick up the phone unless it’s a number or name I recognize. How this is different from campaign TV ads, I don’t understand. The phone is just another channel to get your message across. This isn’t a push-poll either.

So you Trump supporters are now big advocates of political correctness?

So you’re saying Trump does back the Confederate Flag and Cruz is lying? Or what? I’m not sure what the big issue is here. Trump should be thanking Cruz for telling people about his position on the flag.

They don’t know which way is up as Trump’s position on things are made known...their head is spinning to fast trying to keep up and speaking out of both sides of their mouth.

Where are Trump’s calls reminding people that Cruz helped write Bush’s amnesty bill, or that he proposed a 500% increase in job-killing H1-B visas, or that his wife proposed the subversion of the Constitution by the creation of a North American Union?

Confederate soldiers have been declared American Veterans by congress. The flag means a lot to many southerners and Trump is wrong if he thinks the only place it belongs is in a museum.
