Sunday on ABC's "This Week," while discussing the replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% said of his opponent Donald Trump that the time for the circus and reality show was over when it come to choosing a commander-in-chief that will uphold the Constitution.
Partial transcript as follows:
CRUZ: But Justice Scalia's passing also has a profound impact on this primary. It underscores the stakes for the people of South Carolina. They're looking at the individuals on that stage. They're asking, who can I trust? Who do I know will defend the Constitution and will defend the Bill of Rights? Because the pattern we've seen, George -- and you're a veteran of these battles for many years. Democrats understand the stakes and they fight tooth and nail for left-wing judicial activists. Far too many Republicans don't care about the court, don't invest political capital in it. And it's why so many Republican nominees have turned out to be disasters. And let me say something...
STEPHANOPOULOS: One of them that...
CRUZ: -- in particular to the veterans of the state of South Carolina. To the veterans in South Carolina, your Second Amendment rights are hanging in the balance. Justice Scalia, one of his biggest opinions was the "Heller" decision. It was 5-4, upholding the individual right to keep and bear arms. If an additional liberal justice goes to the court, we're one justice away from the Second Amendment being written out. And if Donald Trump becomes president, the Second Amendment will be written out of the Constitution because it is abundantly clear that Donald Trump is not a conservative.

The Canadian circus I presume.
good
LOL....spot on.
Cruz: “The Time For The Circus And The Reality Show Is Over”
Nice to see that Cruz is FINALLY suspending his campaign. He needs to spend some time in the Senate to get better grounded. He has MANY YEARS left in which to run.
No problem. I wouldn’t watch it anyway.
Cirque de Soleil.
Cuz it’s, ya know, French.
:)
Ted is a liar and fraud. At the beginning of this primary season I was backing Ted but something about him bothered me but I couldn’t place it. But now I know. He’s a snake oil salesman a liar and a politician through and through. I really have begun to detest him.
Look at the comments on this Breitbart article. It is very telling.
Cruz is so dishonest and slimy. He knows how Trump feels about guns and yet pushes this crap.
You nasty lying SOB.
It isn’t just Cruz, Trump is ripping the covers off of everyone.
Cruz ‘character’:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote.
2. Claiming Carson quit, ‘vote for me’
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video ‘vote for me’ with his preacher/father stomping for him.
4. ‘Brilliant’ lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize and repeat?
..Cuz it’s, ya know, French....
Quebec?
Cruz speaks in sentences.
Trump is too pussy to do a one on one debate.
LOL....perfect.
Le Cirque du Canadian.
Boy, he really piled it on there didn’t he. Lies and innuendo by the bucket load.
A pretty clear indication that people don’t care for his record at all and he has nothing else he can do except use lies and dirty tricks.
It’s pretty scary that being President is so important to him he’s willing to throw out his “Christianity”, his integrity, his honor.
5. Supporter and booster of the Godfather of Obamacare, John Roberts.
