He’s the one running for president. He’s done plenty including fighting the establishment gop.

There is only one race, the human race. Therefore “racism” has no meaning, right?

You know what I was talking about — looking down on a group of people because of their ethnic heritage, the geographical location with which they’re affiliated. Someone is “less” because they trace their ancestry to Cuba, and not to New York ... right?

Great post. And furthermore, it’s more than just the Presidency, it’s how he’ll administer the cabinet. Just reflect on the incompetents hired by the current admin and how they “work” together.

I think Jr is the only one actually in the race. I agree that’s why the /s tag. Both are nuttier than a rat turd in a pistachio factory.

They call that bigotry, validity notwithstanding.

OK, so Mollypitcher1 is a bigot for attempting to demean Cruz for having Cuban ancestry.

I understand that religion (e.g., “Muslim”) is not a race. But heritage and ancestry *are* related to race, as that term is commonly used. It really is a difficult term to nail down. Some identify only 3 major “races” ( http://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/how-many-major-races-are-there-in-the-world/ ). But further into that article, the author acknowledges that “race” can be more broadly defined:

“I define a “race” as a vast group of people loosely bound together by historically contingent, socially significant elements of their morphology and/or ancestry.”

I suspect that you don’t really want to have a conversation about “race,” though, but are simply an ass trying to “catch” me.

If you want to have a discussion about race, go ahead. There’s nothing yet for me to respond to, because you really haven’t said anything...yet.

“Plenty” of what? He’s made some noise, but What has Cruz Accomplished? The establishment GOP has given Obama everything he wants. Cruz has not been effective at all.

So....Trump is an American Indian?
.......................................................
Don’t even try to go there!
Trump was born in America of TWO American parents and was raised under an American heritage environment in an America that USED TO BE PROUD to be AMERICAN. He was not indoctrinated to believe America is made up of criminals and losers who can’t make it in life without the Government telling them wha to do and feeding and housing them to make them dependent on the government from cradle to grave. Trump is the living proof of American INDEPENDENCE and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY , factors that Made America Great in the past.
We’ve had for the last 7 years an example of foreign influence in his youth forming whatever you want to call our president. I don’t think it is at all outlandish, nor bigotry to want an unquestionable AMERICAN as president. An American born and raised on American values.
Furthermore, you and others can throw around your false accusations to your heart’s content. You’ll have no effect on me. I have several reasons why I left Cruz’s camp for Donald Trump’s. I’ve stated them often and they are VALID!

So you’re a Hitlery supporter, eh? Cuz Thats exactly what you’re advocating. In 2016 the GOP can put forward Trump, or get ready to lose again.

So you are a sick Trumpophant, huh?

Cruz is our only hope.

Trump would redouble Obama’s failures by adding his own big government socialism to the anchor dragging us down.

Fortunately he has no chance of election.

Cruz vs. Hitlery or Bernie will be like Joe Louis schooling Donald Duck. (IOW just like Cruz vs. Trump is going to be)

Because Trump is loud and TALKS tough which is mistaken by people for being tough. He also pisses off people that many freepers hate. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend"

I don't like the establishment either, but I'm voting for someone who has earned his stripes and that is Ted Cruz.

The only one mentioning “universal health care” in the interview is the interviewer.

Your posted segment of the interview stops at and misses including the following....

“for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.”
