Chicago was a SANCTUARY CITY before Teddy even thought about running for the Senate. And putting in a business bankruptcy, which Trump wound up making money on, whilst leaving out Cruz’s loans and mortgages is laughable.

And that’s what he’s been doing since before he declared.

...A guy so stable, sober and poised that you want his finger on the button.

It's a good list of Trump weak points.   I notice that the list does not include any of Cruz's weak points, so some would say the list is biased.

The last point I strongly disagree with.   Trump is very solid.   Here's a guy who built a $10 billion business and has been in the public eye for decades.

One of the key reasons I am voting for Trump is his experience and success running a large organization.

I posted a little analysis on FR that looks at the Trump vs. Cruz debate from a non-policy angle.  

Cheers.

Uh, no. Emanuel declared Chicago’s sanctuary city status in July of 2012. Cruz was already busy trouncing Dewhurst in the runoff.

But you obfuscate the point: Cruz has never helped elect a man who declared his city a sanctuary for illegals.

Gee whiz, good golly and shucks...y'all sure do have a point there, but where, nobody knows. And posting Bible verses doesn't count...so keep 'em to yourself.

Reagan didn't espouse any ideology, neither did Ike, nor any others of the past.

I'm happy that Trump "scares" you....but really, you shouldn't admit that out in the open.

He might have said that in 2012, but Chicago WAS a defecto "sanctuary city" long before that.

Have you ever lived in Chicago?

I will say though that I believe Cruz did support amnesty in 2013 with the Gang of Eight.

What is your basis for this? It it based upon your feelings? Or is there some factual evidence that backs this up?

Here is what Ted Cruz said in June of 2013:

This Gang of Eight bill is a disaster. It is the exact same thing we saw in 1986. The last big immigration reform was in 1986, and the federal government told the American people, we're gonna grant amnesty for the three million people who are here illegally. And in exchange for that we're actually gonna secure the borders. We're gonna solve illegal immigration, and the problem is gonna go away.

Now, we saw what happened. The amnesty happened, the borders never got secured, and now three decades later, instead of three million people, it's 11 million people.


I post this in hopes that there is still the capacity to reason and think critically inside of you. But if your response to the first question is 'feelings', then I know nothing I could ever post would do any good.

Frankly, one can color my face shocked. Forget the Beck incident (which was really beyond the pale) there seem to be so many issues in which the man was very generous with the wool he pulled over our eyes. Saw today the video of Trump’s rally yesterday in Pella, Iowa. Feeling much like he. We like Cruz but at this time have a good many questions for him which need to be answered - the sooner the better. Now it is understood as to why the Cruzers were so brutal in the attacks upon US at FR. They are frightened out of their wits should these accusations be true.

Sen. Cruz shame on you if this is fact. Your faithful constituents deserve answers. Wouldn’t you agree, sir?

Thank you Mr. Trump for making this public and tossing it into our conversation. It is something which needs to be discussed.

Oh, and here is Donald Trump's position on Amnesty from 2013, just in case you are willing to examine the facts instead of going with your emotions:

Can Cruz really be blamed for that?

Uh. Yup. He did it. I didn't see any ISIS goons with a rusty knife to his neck making him swear on the super secret compass of Washingron. Do stupid things. Win stupid prizes.

I pray Cruz loses. I want this primary done. If Trump wins Iowa, the primary is over and that is what we need. We can then concentrate on the General. It took too long in 2012. We ended up losing.

Hmmmm. You really didn’t disagree with anything I said. Reagan most certainly had an ideology. Maybe you can research and find it. Then again, you were probably a John Anderson supporter. He was more like Trump.

Because you aren't worth the time and effort to actually post to.

I worked on BOTH of Reagan's winning presidential campaigns; didums. He mentioned the THREE things he wanted to do, over and over and over again; ideology? Not really; not in the way YOU mean it.

As a matter of fact, I worked on quite a number of winning GOPer presidential campaigns, so you really shouldn't assume anything at all about me, in the negative. That only makes YOU look extremely foolish; which you are.
