Trump never gave a sermon like Ted’s dad did either;

Cruz Father: Ted Cruz “Anointed” To “Bring the Spoils of War to the Priests”

It’s a shame Ted dove right into the mud in the lead-up to Iowa and has been frolicking in it ever since. He was my enthusiastic second choice. Now he’s my “I’ll hold my nose and vote for this scumbag” last resort in the general.

No kidding, especially when, lately, nearly every time he talks about Trump it’s a lie or misrepresentation.

I want to thank you Helicondelta, you have just inspired me to start making a series of anti-Trump cartons every bit as vicious as what you post. Way to drag everyone into the sewer, I’m sure this is just what the country needs, sleazy, slimy, liars like yourself.

Ted should talk about Ted. His attack ads are hurting his numbers. Go positive.

His Georgia radio ads that I have all been positive.

Someone once told me, “If someone hands you their head on a platter, why not take it?”

That is what Cruz has done. Very stupid to hand someone like Trump your head on a platter. He’s going to use it. Watch him dominate the new cycle this week with all the ammunition Ted gave him. For being so brilliant Ted sure pulls some bonehead moves.

I never dreamed Ted would have burned “principled” to ashes on the altar of winning like he has. Amazing Ted’s book title is “A Time for Truth”. I bought it.

I couldn’t believe Ted forgot Trump was the only one to mention the names of two conservative judges he’d consider appointing at the beginning of the debate. Instead the “brilliant debater” with “a photographic recall of the spoken word” LIED and said “Trump will appoint liberal judges.”

Wow. What a stupid tactical mistake. It shows canned soundbites overruled smart tactical maneuvering - Ted didn’t recognize the battle field changed with Trump’s mentioning the two conservative judges he’d appoint. He ran with the canned soundbite anyway. Very bad mistake, very bad tactical judgment. That was stunning. Ted’s just another status quo puppet politician. I’ll too vote for him as the nominee but it will be a default “cream of the crap vote for me”.

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 in SC?

Rubio baiting Cruz into admitting he was listening to Spanish language Univision hurt Cruz and allowed Rubio to pull ahead.

Cruz led trusting Texans to believe he did not know Spanish.

And the charade of Cruz renouncing his Canadian citizenship which he knew did not exist...... must be making trusting Texans sit up and take notice.

“Exactly. Cruz is far and away the most trustworthy person in his race and probably in Washington.”

Senator Cruz is the only trustworthy person in this race and the only Conservative in the Republican primary and is running against 3 rinos, Dr.Carson and one liberal democrat who is lying about about what and who he is and who is mentally unstable. Four pretenders and Carson(?) running against a Constitutional Conservative who have to resort to lying, name calling and character assassination because they lack Conservative principles and substance.

Three days and about eight hours we’ll know who the GOP primary winner is in South Carolina.
Romney is the only GOP candidate to lose South Carolina in the last few cycles and gone on the
win the nomination. What will this cycle bring?

Poll close at 7 pm EST. By 8pm we should begin to get some indications.

“No kidding, especially when, lately, nearly every time he talks about Trump it’s a lie or misrepresentation”

When did Senator Cruz lie or misrepresent Trump? Everything I’ve seen has been pretty well documented. If anyone has misrepresented Trump it’s Trump when he says what I said doesn’t matter now. Are we supposed to forget what he’s said in the past? How many days or is now hours or minutes of grace does Trump get? I can’t believe so many “conservatives” are not only wearing blinders but are now willing participants in the character assassination and “stoning” of the only credible Constitutional Conservative in the race. Free Republic has lost credibility as a Conservative site in this election cycle.

Read post 19 and this;

Donald J. Trump

RESPONSE TO THE LIES OF SENATOR CRUZ:

Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. He is the single biggest liar I've ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much.

Cruz said I would be appointing a liberal judge when in fact I will appoint a great conservative and I am the only candidate who has gone so far, at the debate, as to suggest two individuals I feel would best represent the conservative values we need to protect: William "Bill" Pryor Jr. and Diane Sykes.

Cruz says I am pro-choice, when in fact I am staunchly pro-life and have been for a long time. Like Ronald Reagan, on many issues, I have evolved.

Cruz says I am in favor of ObamaCare, when in fact I have spoken about repealing and replacing this disaster of a system at every speech throughout my campaign and since it's inception. Meanwhile, Cruz was responsible for getting Bush to put in the judge that failed to vote against ObamaCare twice.

Cruz says I will try to take away your second amendment rights, when I am one of the strongest proponents of the right to bear arms and I say so in every speech that I have made for years. I am a proud member of the NRA and so are my sons.

Cruz has become unhinged and is lying with the hopes that his statements will go unchecked until after the election and he will save his failing campaign.

In Iowa, Cruz told thousands of Ben Carson voters that Dr. Carson had left the race and to instead vote for Ted Cruz. He apologized when the race was over. Likewise, his fraudulent voter violation form sent to Iowa voters. If Ted is going to continue to lie with such desperation, I have no choice but to fight back.

One of the ways I can fight back is to bring a lawsuit against him relative to the fact that he was born in Canada and therefore cannot be President. If he doesn't take down his false ads and retract his lies, I will do so immediately. Additionally, the RNC should intervene and if they don't they are in default of their pledge to me.

I am the strongest on the borders and I will build a wall, and it will be a real wall. I am strongest on illegal immigration, strongest on ISIS, strongest on the military and I will take care of our Vets. I will end common core and preserve the second amendment. I will renegotiate our trade deals and bring our jobs back to our country. I am the only person who will Make America Great Again.

For a Harvard lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees, Cruz is sloppy about critical personal details....raising questions about Cruz/s honesty and character.

<><> questionable Iowa win;

<><> shaming Iowans w/ mailing of voting ratings;

<><> rushing to capitalize on Carson/s Iowa absence, claiming Carson quit, to steal black votes;

<><> Campaigning in 800 churches, video of his preacher/father stomping for him;

<><> does not know details of his Canadian birth;

<><> prolly voted into the Senate illegally;

<><> not a Natural Born Citizen;

<><> not eligible for office of Prez or VP.

<><> claimed his health insurance was cancelled; media reported it wasn't;

<><> Didn/t tell Texas voters and the FEC about Wall Street bank loans;

<><> Dallas Morning News exposed his citizenship problem.

<><>Mrs Cruz is on hiatus from G/S.....no word WRT getting paid by the Cruz campaign.

============================================

BACKSTORY Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.

He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.

NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).

Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.

At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a dual Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.

===============================================

Cruz told Levin he used the Wall Street loans for the campaign/s TV ads......but these loans have never been reported as campaign-related. Cruz does not need the FEC/s permission to fully disclose the info. What is he hiding?
