“When appointed, Roberts looked like an awesome choice. None of us could have known what would happen later. If you did.... What are the winning powerball numbers for next week?”

Sorry, that won’t work. We didn’t know Roberts personally or work with him for YEARS like Cruz did. Cruz isn’t as dumb as you all would like us to believe.

Why not? Does it in any way hurt your feelings to know Trump has a mother? Or is it the Scottish part that offends you?

Could it be possible that Roberts evolved in the intervening years? Didn’t Donald’s views evolve in about the same number of years?

Straw man, won’t work! CRuz SAID there was no difference in the circumstances of his birth (IN CANADA) and Trump’s mother who WAS an AMERICAN CITIZEN and Trump was born in the USA, but Cruz didn’t bother to say that, only that she was born in Scotland.

Ted Cruz is either a LIAR or a VERY bad lawyer...not knowing he was Canadian is the big lie!

Why did Cruz bring Trump’s mother into it at all?

Evolved to what? Supporting the illegal Obamacare and propping up Barak?

To me the Goldman Sachs things is important. They give him the money, he “loans” it to his campaign, he pays it back whenever he wants (still hasn’t paid it off) at I assume near zero interest. Corporations can’t contribute to candidates and individuals are capped at $2500. Basically it’s a laundered unlimited campaign contribution. How much more influence does Goldman and Citicorp get when they come in at $1 million? He’d get shredded in the general over this.

Supporting Clinton an propping up Deblasio?

Look, I'm not trying to play tit for tat and I'm not going to change your mind, but just what kind of Justice will Trump pick. You can't know and yet you support Trump with great verve. Using Cruz compliments for Roberts, what, 11 years ago? As some kind of determining factor between him an a guy who praised Hillary much more recently is mid boggling.

Let me guess, you still feel very upset about the failure to invalidate Obama’s election on this issue.

Hell, I I’m still ticked off that it never got the hearing that it should have. It’s Over now and defeating Cruz won’t change that in the slightest. I’m sorry but it won’t.

If it ever gets its time in court it will be in the hands of Justices who may not rule in a way you agree with.

That answers the question. :). I bet you are a blast at Parties.

My ancestry is partly Scottish. I’m sorry if that hurts you in any way.

The optics on the loan thing is really not good. It just looks bad.

Anyone engaging with the poster “Liz” needs to read the link from the following posts. Not only have they attacked Cruz in the past, but have made comments that can only be classified as anti-semitic, specifically when they criticized Cruz for “Taking advantage of the plight of middle eastern christians” when he was booed off stage for stating that they needed to stand with the nation of Israel who suffer similar persecution. Also note that while “Liz” is a supposedly bleeding-heart Trump supporter, there’s not one comment from them regarding the joint rally Cruz and Trump held on the Iran Nuclear Deal which was very much concerned with Israel’s security as well as the US.

We already had ‘Liz’ figured out way back.

Trump trolls are on the federal protected species list.

The ‘loan thing’ is nonsense.

It was almost completely paid off by the time that any documents were to be filed, and it was not a “contribution” thus probably not reportable, but that will be shown later anyway.

Wrong as usual. Liabilities have to be reported in campaign filings. Cruz isn’t arguing whether he is required to report these two loans he just. “Forgot”. Funny nobody else seemed to “ forget “ just Ted.

N.i.c.e input.

Perry angered Bachman supporters when he did nothing ....no campaigning, no nothing....then dropped into the race, completely halting Bachman’s hard-won momentum.

Perry donned cement overshoes when he looked down on voters, sneering at us b/c we opposed in-state tuition for illegals....saying we had no heart.

He was never able to recover from that ....especially b/c trusting Texans never knew he was giving their tax dollars to illegals.

Haha! You do have a way with words. Reminds me of the funniest line I read on FR from that particular campaign:

Statement: Perry’s prime directive is to destroy the Cain campaign.

Freeper wit: That beats his original prime directive, which was to destroy the Perry campaign.
