Trump was signing pay checks and creating jobs. You can’t compare the two. One is a lifetime politician the other a businessman. Jeez.
You think all businessmen are democrats, support partial birth abortions and planned parenthood...jeesh right back at ya
Btw Cruz has been a politician for 3 years
It’s not venom cowboy, it’s the truth. The distrust for Cruz has been well earned.
By intentionally suspending your beliefs, you can ignore the truth of how Senator Cruz created, supported, and advocated for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). An advocate cannot claim a position fundamentally disconnected from reality without intentionally desiring to do so.
This is an insightful key point into the deep dishonesty of Ted Cruz. Cruz says he has always been against Obamatrade yet he campaigned to enable it with TPA. Those actions are incompatible. Only a slick lawyer career politican would try that type of flim flam. TPA is where he lost most of his original support who have a conscious and a strong mind.
True: Both Cruz and Fiorina are power trip junkies. They could not run a toll booth without stealing from the other, and; they want to be 1 and 2 in America. UNREAL. The RNC has been exposed for rules and power I despise. I want a new party called the American party and we go back to real natural born for our candidates.
Now that it is clear that Cruz is mathematically eliminated from a first ballot victory and that Trump is on glide path to achieving the 1237 majority, it's time for Cruz to step aside and support our presumptive nominee. That would have immediately disarmed most of Cruz's critics and we could all focus on defeating Shrillary. And Cruz would go on to fight another day (he's only 45 years old and has many election cycles ahead of him).
But not only did Cruz not step aside but he doubled down and took the unprecedented step of choosing a running mate when he has no path to a first ballot win! Not to mention that slimy, apparently short-lived deal with Kasich to split up the remaining states with a view to denying Trump the majority he needs for a first ballot win.
Cruz appears hell-bent on forcing a contested convention and ripping the party apart. He apparently does not realize that even if there was a contested convention, the GOPe establishment would definitely not choose him as a compromise candidate.
Ted Cruz has badly tarnished his brand these past few weeks and may not recover.
That begs the question: How is it possible you know this, but this genius D.C. lawyer politician doesn't? And if this guy was not simply a fall back guy for the GOP from the beginning, why in tarnation would he stay in a race he can't win?
This does not compute.
One more thing. Would it not make sense if Cruz were indeed the fall back guy for the party, which I believe he is, wouldn’t he stay in the running if there was still a tiny glimmer of hope the party was able to pull off a contested convention?
Savage is formally educated.
Rush almost brags he is not and it shows.
Rush had 30 years to educate himself but he is lazy.
Savage is excellent on important health issues.
Milton Friedman was the last true economist.
Priveleged trade as free trade nonsense is what Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and talk radio sell. Instead the actual Conservative position is run Govt thru tariffs.
That has been hashed over on this site so much if it wasall done on paper it would. Sink a battleship. It has been twisted around so much it looks likea slinky so i am not interested in getting into another argument.
Love it!
True - but the "Champion of Conservatism" has had a lot of recent mishaps and stepping in the dog doo.
He put his eye on the WH at an early age and methodically built his reputation/resume to position himself for a run. Then the conditions became such that a Trump could come along with a message (actually a number of messages) that would resonate with the People who are sick and tired of watching our Nation become a concentration camp for those who believe in the Constitution and what is right - it rained on Ted's carefully laid plans and he can't seem to handle it. Not many here cared about incidents/conditions in his past - it's the recent things that have opened eyes and alienated much of his original base. His supporters are gung-ho (as Trump's are) but there's way too few of them anymore.
Love it! Some are missing the point that it’s the more resent trends that have turned folks off of Cruz - quite possible some of his “suppressed” past coming out, but it’s the recency of it all that has alienated him from much of his original base.
Ok, Savage is formally educated and is excellent on important health issue.
I have no issue with that statement.
I never mentioned Rush. I would also say that Rush has no clue about Economics or Markets. I would include Sean and Levin as well.
It doesn’t change the fact that Savage is still clueless on Economics.
