Jimmy Carter endorses Donald Trump … over Ted Cruz
Atlanta Journal Constitution Political Blog ^ | February 3, 2016 | Greg Bluestein

"Coming soon to a Ted Cruz campaign ad near you?

Former President Jimmy Carter, at Britain's House of Lords on Wednesday to deliver a lecture on the campaign to eradicate the Guinea worm disease, was derailed for a few minutes by a BBC reporter who asked about the presidential election.

If he had to choose between Cruz and Trump for the Republican nomination, Carter chuckled, "I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you."

"The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s completely malleable,” Carter explained. "I don't think he has any fixed (positions) he'd go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he'd pursue if he became president."

Hey, Jughead, this isn't an endorsement - Jimmy will be voting for one of the communist democrats. He was asked a question - not for an endorsement. You Cruzbots are insufferable and sometimes ignorant.

LOL! They'll run with anything and then put it in breaking news.

Trump us on a roll. Nobel Prize. Jimmy Carter endorsement.

Never seen a politician self destruct so quickly.

Carter explains quite well why he would want Trump.

He’s got quite an imagination; SOP for concern trolls.

After being wrong his whole political career and beyond he would be right now?

I’m sure a lot of other concern trolls will be on this thread, I haven’t read the replies.

“How much more will it take for Trump fans to ditch this phony?”

Is Jimmy Carter your prayer book? Since when on this site has Jimmy Carter’s word meant anything at all?

You want to talk about malleable? Look at Cruz’s vote for TPA and the Corker bill, two bills he now campaigns against as if he never voted for them.

Can your new man Jimmy Carter explain that for you also?

If you don’t get it, that’s okay.

It was intended for folks who would.

I don’t bow down to any man. Jughead was a character in the Archie comics. As a Trump supporter, I don’t agree with him on everything, nor do I blindly stand behind every thing he says and does, unlike the Cruzbots, which are mimicking the Obamabots. So, put your accusation where the sun doesn’t shine.

You not familiar with Obama?

He self destructs every day but fallen angels known as demons prop him up. For now...

We really do have an evil-looking president. That said, will Obama be the next to say positive things about Trump?

Just run ads with every kooky thing Beck has said, and then show that bizarre rally with the two.

The difference is that people can “endorse” whomever they want. It’s when you appear on stage with them do people actually associate you with them.
