Ted Cruz is crazy, like a fox

Apparently TC was as establishment as anyone and then saw the Tea Party and jumped in front of the parade to ride it to the Senate. I can't shake the feeling that virtually everything he has done since is staging so he can make his claims to get himself into the White House. This must be why Derschowitz and Tribe both call him a hypocrite.

Cruz slipped up with the immigration and the Obamatrade and Obamatrade was a biggie - an attack on our sovereignty.

"This is an exciting election season, finally. For the record, Sen Ted Cruz is my first choice for the nomination, and like it or not I definitely enjoy Mr Trump's entry to the race. It's time we had an outsider in the office - and both of these men are exactly that."

Sen Cruz is not owned by the GOPe, but is bound by his faith and our founding documents. Mr Trump is owned by no one - which allows him to speak his mind without having to kiss anyone's backside. Very refreshing.

For now, I'm in Trump's corner all the way.

Deal With It"

How wishy is your washy...?

“Obviously written pre debate.
Bye Rafael.
The mask came off, and people saw who you really are.”

Hmmmm, you must have been watching a different debate than the one I was watching.

Yeh not a good night for Felito. Look for Trump to move on up in the polls.

[amihow]

Could you please be more detailed and specific?

[amihow]

You need to substantiate that assertion.

[amihow]

He is so smart, but even Homer and Cruz nod. Cruuz slipped big time on immigration. He is bought and paid for by corporate interests I am afraid.

He knows the Constitution, but does have the spirit by which it came into being? America is about God ,people, freedom not license, hard work and the fruits thereof. It is not about as much cheap labor you can get at low wages and increased profits.

[Zhang Fei]

Taking in corporate dough. Oh yes. Cruz will accept money that was going to Jeb and Marco and the other GOPe sweethearts who have slipped in the polls. But Cruz won’t be beholden to them. Come on people. Cruz is no more independent than any other politician financed by big money. Do not fall for it.

Corporate dough? Trump is corporate dough. And if he gets into the White House, he will get to enrich himself at the expense of the nation.

[TBP]

Keep challenging Trump — not on what he told Tim Russert (although that’s not good for Donald), but on the liberal he said within the last 6 months or so.

[TBP]

And loved it!

[amihow]

Yes. But Trump is his own boss. He has made it and is beholden to no one.

Trump may enrich himself, but so may all the other candidates and they will owe favors on January 27, 2017. Trump wil owe no favors to anyone, but the American people. Pick your poison.

[TBP]

Cruz — easily.

[TBP]

On the other hand, no one as liberal as Trump has run for President, as a Republican, since Teddy Roosevelt.

He does have a lot of liberal views, which he has expressed within the past 6 months.

[TBP]

Cruuz slipped big time on immigration.

Cruz has a tougher record on the subject than Trump does.

What Trump owes and what he feels he owes are different things. Trump has been unfaithful to 2 wives, both of whom bore him children, a serial fornicator and screwed any number of business partners. The only loyalty he's ever shown is to his personal balance sheet. But he will somehow be loyal to conservative voters based on political stances he took up a year ago, which are different from the stances he took the year before, which are different...? PT Barnum had it right. There's a Trump voter born every minute.

Funny. Ask the man on the street about that.

Trump owns the Trump Wall. No one can compete with that.

[TBP]

Trump has advocated the very same touchback provision we fought so hard to defeat in 2007, and done so within the past few months. Cruz will enforce the law — and get the wall built.

[Jane Long]

Wrong. The LEGAL immigration process is NOT touchback.

Tell that to the thousands who are muddling through that process, now.

[TBP]

That IS touchback. It’s send them to their home countries, then let them in legally. Expedited. And that is EXACTLY what Trump endorses.

[A CA Guy]

Based on tonight I don’t know about checkers, but the 69 year old mopped the floor IMO with Cruz who I like.
Trump proved he can be two or three steps ahead of Cruz. I can’t wrap my head around that easily because usually When Cruz enters a room he’s the smartest man in the room.
