I sure hope you are not posting this as a Positive for Cruz?
The USA is so far in debt that every thing is going to come under review.
Sorry Ted but that is the reality.
Knowing these guys they likely actually believe it.
Cruz did this yesterday. Perhaps if you ever listened you would understand why so many of us think Trump is a fraud. Why is it you cannot look at facts?
Well, sure, when you take the video clip that the media posted, the edited, out of context, video clip that shows Ted’s ANSWER to a QUESTION, that was specifically asked about his reaction to Trumps comments, then by all means, it would appear as the left, and anti-Cruz people want it to appear. And probably the reason why they are using the EDITED video, in the first place.
But, if you look at the video Aaron Herron posted, a couple posts up, it shows the ENTIRE CLIP of Ted Cruz’ comments IN FULL, and then it also shows the QUESTIONS that he was asked AFTER HIS STATEMENT, where he then is asked specifically about Trump, and gives his answer (which is the clip the media posted).
His statement, in full, transcribed, since so many seem to have such difficulty in WATCHING A FULL VIDEO, is here:
CRUZ:...is to defeat radical Islamic Terrorism, to defeat ISIS. Until they are defeated, these attacks will continue. Until ISIS is utterly destroyed, they will continue, to carry out acts of terror, continue to murder. Whether at a subway station, whether at an airport, whether at an opera house in Paris, whether at a community center in San Bernardino. Their target is each and every one of us. And we need a president, who sets aside political correctness. In the wake of Brussells, we don’t need another lecture from President Obama on Islamophobia. We need a Commander in Chief who does everything necessary to defeat the enemy. And we need to immediately halt the presidents ill advised plan to bring in, tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees. Our vetting programs are woefully insufficient. This administration has no means of preventing those refuges from being ISIS terrorists. ISIS has stated its intention to infiltrate those refugees with terrorist coming to America to commit acts of jihad. And the time for the President’s political correctness is past, the first priority of Commander in Chief is keeping America safe.
QUESTION 1 FROM REPORTER: Beyond Syrian refugees, is it time for the US to close it’s borders to all Muslims, like Donald Trump suggested?
CRUZ: It is time for us to implement serious vetting and we should not be allowing anyone to come into this country, that we can’t vet to make sure that they are not radical Islamic terrorist, that’s part of the problem with not defining the enemy. When you don’t define the en then you don’t have screen programs designed to keep them out. And I would note, you look at the San Bernardino terrorist, the female terrorist had publicly posted on social media, calls to Jihad. And yet the Obama administration, in yet another nod to political correctness, refused even to look to social media. That is an example of the myopia of this administration and it’s politically driven. It’s not that they cannot see the threats of terrorism, it s that they refuse to look at, acknowledge or name the threats of terrorism because it is inconsistent with their political objectives.
QUESTION 2 FROM REPORTER: (hard to hear exact phrasing) Why are you more qualified than Donald Trump...campaigning for nomination.....what makes you a better commander in chief, when it comes to handling these problems.....? (very hard to make out complete question, but I could pick up Donald’s name was mentioned and Cruz was being asked his opinion on their differences regarding how he would handle things compared to Trump)
CRUZ: (and this is where Cruz gives his answer, as shown in the video clip the media posted)
And it was a great response at that. Cruz is doing what a smart campaigner would do, and that is when asked by a reporter about why he would be better at something, than his competitor, he explains the opposing sides view and then his in contrast. It’s called answering a question WITH SUBSTANCE.
Jeesh, the knee jerk, immediate reaction, to believing misleading headlines, then accusing Cruz, slandering him, insulting him, and just going all frothy in the mouth over him, is very liberal of those who do that.
CRUZ using a terrorist attack to ATTACK TRUMP!
CRUZ has turned into an ugly person!
