Tell us all about your experiences in an enclosed environment with a giant raptor! We’re agog, I’m sure.
Ben Shapiro sounds like a spoiled crybaby who hasn’t gotten his way and doesn’t know how to deal with it.
If Cruz, for one instant, tried this crap with Trump, he would be even stupider than I think he is (and, let’s face it, bringing that deranged jack-ass Glenn Beck on-board can’t be considered anything other than stupid). Does Benny believe Trump’s going to hear such a silly attack and break out into tears on the debate stage? I don’t think so. Trump has balls the size of Rhode Island. I think he would simply stare at Cruz, let him have his say, offer some flippant remark, get a laugh, and enjoy Cruz dropping another 10 points in the polls.
But, just to be clear, I don’t think Cruz would ever try anything this stupid. I honestly believe he’s smarter than that. Frankly, I wish he would admit to himself that he’s not going to win and make up with Trump. I think we’re stronger if we have both of them fighting together to keep Rubio down.
Who pays Shapiro?

Well, he’s a Breitbart writer, other than that, I don’t know. Usually, I like Ben, but he’s lost all reason when it comes to Trump, as have many of the media.
And he walked out of SC with every delegate.
Cruz? Well I hope he enjoyed the weather.

All Trump would need to do is simply say, “That’s desperation you are feeling.”
Agreed with many above. The writing is on the wall. This kind of thing will make him look looney. His whole preacher tone of voice is odd to me and completely ridiculous. I was for Cruz until he brought out that alternate personality.
He should go out with dignity.
“Trump’s ace-in-the-hole is being a “tough guy.” If he collapses under pressure, that sandcastle will be gone. “
Trump was an extremely good athlete in school. He excelled at every sport and his classmates say that he was the best athlete in their class. He seriously considered playing major league baseball.
Guys like that really are tough. They don’t collapse under pressure, they thrive on it.
so to be clear, is the position that everyone is taking now that no one has been attacking Trump? Carly Attacked him, Bush went HARD at him and so did Cruz and Linda. Jindal went off on him and Mark Levin doesn’t hold any punches. Most of the fox crew hate the guy (See George Will, Karl Rove and Kraughthammer for the last 6 months). I don’t know where this new talking point came from but Trump hasn’t gotten a free ride. When he first announced everyone called him a racist, a bigot then went after his businesses. The big difference is Trump didn’t back down like everyone else before him. He’s fought HARD and dirty to get to where he is. Not sure why people don’t want a fighter this year when last time they complained that Romney didn’t fight back.
I agree. It will just make Cruz look bad plus it won't win him any Trump supporters.
I agree. Trump makes his points so much better at his rallies and in his one-on-one interviews. As is often said, we’re not looking for a debater-in-chief or a priest-in-chief.
All Trump would need to do is simply say, “That’s desperation you are feeling.â€

That’s a good one - the less the better, frankly. I also think all he has to do is listen politely to Ted, then look at the moderator & say “next!”.
[Just imagine if he punched little Teddy!]
He wouldn’t HAVE to do that, after the Cruz rant against him he could just look at him , smile and say “WOW, I didn’t know you Canadians got all THAT worked up when you get desperate”
Thanks for setting me straight on that. I would have missed it.
Instead of selling himself, he’s been trying to litigate his way to the nomination. People get sick of that in a hurry. Nobody likes lawyers much. The more you act like one, the more you turn people off. Throw in some sanctimonious preaching and you have a potent cocktail with which to annoy voters.
Ted. Brilliant.
No. Not the same thing. It was Cruz supporters who ran with the CNN story.
It was Trump himself who lied and said Cruz had departed Nevada when Cruz was there holding rallies.
As for the bickering, I call it Cruz finally stopping the Mr. Nice Guy role and informing voters about the real Donald Trump. Or should I say the Reality Donald Trump.
Trump clutches all his grudges close to his bosom. He will not stop jumping ugly on Cruz.
It takes two to stop. Cruz would probably agree to a compromise but Trump would have to be seriously worried to bend.
I have a feeling that unless Trump gets off that high horse and reaches out to Cruz that Rubio will be your next president.
I don’t think it’s that Cruz needs to attack Trump. What Cruz needs to do is win over the conservatives, evangelicals and Hispanics. He is not doing well with those groups as they are all voting for Trump.
You know, it’s time to revive the Canadian attacks. People are letting that line of attack fall by the wayside. While I don’t think Cruz has a chance at the nomination, it would be something the Dems would go hammer and tongs over.
Raphael Edward will place third in almost all states due to Trump’s greater persona, and the establishment bolstering of Rubio.
“The only way to beat a bully is to out-bully him. And Cruz can do it with facts.”
Don’t bring footnotes and string citations to a knife fight.
He does morning drive on Salem radio flagship station KRLA. And he is a lawyer as well.
