Trump: RNC breaking pledge, calls Cruz a ‘liar’
The State ^ | February 15, 2016 | Andrew Shain

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Monday that the Republican party is breaking its pledge to stay neutral while pouncing on GOP rivals who attacked him at a weekend debate.

“I have never met people like politician. They are the most dishonest people I have ever met,” the New York billionaire said during a stop at Mount Pleasant hotel on Monday. “They lie, lie, lie and then they apologize.".....

Trump suggested that the Republican National Committee was not honoring a pledge to not hurt his campaign if the businessman promised not to mount a third-party presidential run.

Trump was booed several times during the Republican presidential debate Saturday in Greenville for criticizing other candidates. Trump said the debate audience was stacked with lobbyists and big Republican donors.

“I signed a pledge,” Trump said. “But the pledge is not being honored by them. ... They are in default of their pledge.”

Trump, the winner of the New Hampshire primary last week, spent most of his speech to several hundred spectators going after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, his closest rival in South Carolina.

He blasted Cruz for distorting his stance on the Second Amendment during the debate. Cruz has said Trump would erode gun ownership laws if elected, while Trump calls himself the biggest gun rights advocate in the race.

“I think he’s an unstable person,” Trump said of Cruz.

Trump called Cruz a “bad liar” who stole the Iowa caucus when the senator’s volunteers spread rumors about GOP candidate Ben Carson leaving the race. Cruz won while Trump finished second.

The Donald is just telling the public who he considers his most formidable opponent.

He parties with Bill and Hillary and praises them. But as usual his caustic, vile comments are reserved for Republicans. Yes, he hates Republicans, but despite his scorn he expects to get their vote. His inner Democrat constantly shows, but he thinks he can trash all for opposing his brand of covert liberalism.

In the heat of the campaign, he has forgotten about Obama who, in my opinion, makes the Clintons look like amateurs when it comes to outright lying and everything else that goes along with it....

“Trump suggested that the Republican National Committee was not honoring a pledge to not hurt his campaign if the businessman promised not to mount a third-party presidential run.”

Why keep threatening. Run third party, you are obviously not a Republican. Be this latest Clinton’s Ross Perot!

On another note...

With the change in the USSC over the weekend, The NBC status of Cruz and Rubio is going to be a train wreck. It makes it very important that neither get the nomination.

Anybody that thinks this is not going to be litigated by the democrats if either of the two gets the nomination is not accepting reality. A liberal or even tied USSC does not bode well for a decision that favors Cruz or Rubio.

Trump by far has spewed more lies than any other GOP in this race. Its all on video to fact check.

But the zombies hear Trump say it so they believe it.

We’re toast

Rubio and Carson also know Cruz is a big liar. They also have experienced it firsthand.

I’m guessing if he has to go up against Hillary, she’ll be the second biggest liar he’s ever met? Or will she be the first once the direction of the wind changes?

How come he was best friends with Cruz and complemented him for six months.

The bromance is off and they broke up?

Obviously Cruz is worse than his good friend Hillary, or his other good friends Rangel, and Sharpton.

I have heard Cruz on Levin and elsewhere pretty much tally miss representing what Trump as said, so it is part of the game I think.

Hillary is getting her money’s worth. You have to give her credit. She has the Republican party tearing itself apart.

All the hissing and moaning, and Trump is basically right.

Ted is a prominent prevaricator.

He talks about Immigration. A big problem in Our Country, with who knows what is crossing our borders. We have witnessed murders, raptists, gang people, and Muslim infidels that walk into a place and kill 14 people in Ca. And there have been others, Fort Hood...with this on top of new diseases cropping up all over, the newest one is Zika...

Our Veterans and Wounded Warriors are not being treated with the respect and care that they should be. They are treated worse than illegal immigrants...they get nothing in the way of food stamps, housing, and if you want to call what the Vets Hospitals across America is providing for them, I would think a Veternarian would provide better care. We do not give them the respect for protecting our Freedoms that they gave up their lives for and body parts for.

Our Economy is terrible. Our manufacturing jobs are going to Foreign Countries, so we are jobless. Ford is building a plan in Mexico; Nabisco is taking their plant to Mexico; Samsonite Luggage is in Mexico; Air Conditioners are now moving to Mexico and nothing coming back in form of money, and here sits the American Worker, working at Burger King for 4 hours in the morning, Artic Circle for 4 hours in the afternoon and another job at night for a few hours if their lucky....no health care, to costly, barely making the rent payment, buying food and gas for the car.

Health Care is to expensive and climbing higher almost every month. It was a joke on the American People in the first place by your President to begin with...and we all remember Nancy’s famous words: “Oh you have to vote on it before you know what is in it”...well we know what’s in it and we don’t like it...but the Insurance Companies and the Government love it....

Our inter structure is falling apart, our roads, our bridges, our power grids are collapsing, and if you don’t believe me on that, ever went thru a brown out in the Summer?

So here are the main reasons why my support goes to Trump, he’s a business man, a very rich business man that has built his American Dream and is willing to help America get back to her American Dream so her people can have better lives since Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush and obuma....lets make this America Great Again!!!

I really wish Trump would choose his words more carefully here. Cruz is a natural ally of Trump’s. In an ideal word the two of them would come to an agreement, and run as a team.

Trump/Cruz
Trump/West
Trump/Bocephus

Any of those works for me, although I’ll admit the last one is a long shot.
