He said awhile back ,with apology, “I’m sorry, but your’re going to have to make compromises, that’s just the way it is”...at one of his rally’s.
He does talk a big talk and great at rising up the public.....but I really have concerns he will pull off what he says.....he’s after the “win” right now......what he does with it if he does win is another story ....
How about bringing back skilled trades and provide funding for folks who don’t want to go to college.
Another program, Yippee!!! When will the GOP learn? Dewey running against Truman said words to the effect, “We will not only make government bigger, we will make it better”. Along with four other agencies, Cruz wants to eliminate the Department of Education.
Tag line.
Another big source of funding for student tuition and other expenses is to tap into the various endowment funds set up by so many, especially larger, colleges and universities. Some of these funds are in the BILLIONS, and tapping into some of these would go far to cover the costs of operations of the schools, thus much reducing the need for tuition hikes, and in many cases, allow a much lower overall cost for college attendance.
Whoever it is, when you try to come out with attacks to another poster it lowers not only you but the person you are pulling for in the candidates...
Yes, I read the article and I know what Trump said, and I agree with it, the government is causing the ‘student loan’ program for their own use...which in turns causes college fees to rise up, and yes they are borrowed to the hilt, and then when they finish college, with what obuma has done to the job market, along with the House and Senate, these people have a lot of money to pay back and hardly no jobs to help them...
Please consider that when your candidate gets high in the polls, the same ‘attacks’ lies and other things will be said about them as they are being said about Trump...so I hope you have high respect for you candidate when that happens so you will be more appreciative of those of us that don't tear down your candidate when that time comes...
5. Get rid of majors where students graduate with debt, but not jobs. This would flush all the race & gender studies majors.
Also, students should not have mandated course requirements beyond their majors. They pay too much to visit liberalism’s junk yard.
Who is your choice?
That's what I remember. Trump emphasized creating jobs that graduates now lack. The Washington Examiner maybe lying by omission or just straight out lying. They are another publication that hate Trump.
Only, in the case of Trump, they aren’t lies, they’re true. Ted Cruz is a real conservative, so if you tear him down, you’ll be tearing down conservatism itself.
You must try to understand the frustration we Cruz supporters have: there’s finally a true conservative running for president who believes in it to his core and can articulate it as we would if we had his skills. Every presidential cycle the conservatives split the vote and a moderate slips in. Trump is a bloviating idiot who proves it over and over, yet conservatives keep ignoring what he says and has said to build some fantasy of what he’ll do. And to say that Cruz hasn’t been savaged by Trump supporters on FR, well, anyway.
WAKE UP. You have fallen for a ruse of a headline. The Trump trollers are thread posting to mess with you. Apparently, it’s working.
This is the work of TRUMP CARD, LLS, to rain down HELL against TRUMP polling numbers, to knock him out. The dirty tricks operation has covered the planet with two days of putting words in Trump’s mouth he never said.
Freepers are posting the media take and never the full transcript, nor the seriousness of Trump when he plays with reporters and panelists.

No!, It’s a lie. The writer of the article is anti Trump! Pointing out Trump’s own words makes you a hater! Your supposed to tell us what you think Trump meant, not what he actually said!
Too many have short memories. What happened to the electoral prospects of the GOP after the last president that grew the size of the Federal Government?
PING to this comment and link.
I have now gotten to the point where I don’t believe anything I read about Trump. If possible, I find the interview or rally on youtube and listen to what he said myself. If I can’t find it there, I discount it completely.
So far, I’ve found Trump is consistent and perfectly clear. The media constantly misquotes him and too many people jump on the headlines without checking.
There’s only one other choice of the bunch....Cruz of course....I’ve been following his battles in Washington before he announced....he’s one very impressive man and knows how to fight on all the fronts necessary to bring this ship back on course....and he’s already got his team in Washington to assist when he hits the ground running.
He’s not going to waste time ‘finding’ his way...he well knows the terrain and the landmines...and who sets them...and how. And he also knows what they hide behind. HE can and will hit the ground running and has made clear what he intends to do on day one etc......
I realize Trump is popular....and he talks a good game....but he’ll be in a ballpark foreign and you can bet they will play him.
Give him the VP position and let him run around the world making all these deals he claims...not behind a desk in a Zoo that he doesn’t even know the animals creeping there.
The good thing about Trump is he speaks in these short, choppy, ambiguous sentences. There’s a lot of space to for interpretation. The media can misrepresent him, his supporters can make his words fit their fantasy, and he can walk-back everything.
How about a simple regulation that college costs can not be increased by anything more than annual rate of inflation of the state/nation. College costs have outpaced inflation for the last few decades. The do it to power companies, why can’t they do it to public universities. The ironic thing about this idea, is that colleges would reduce their prices, to become competitive. Look at the power co-ops, the provide power for much cheaper than the govt regulated companies.
A good place to start would be to shut down the tuition sucking diploma factories where the jugheads are dumber when they “graduate” than they were when they enrolled. Demand that colleges and universities prove that they are actually providing knowledge to their students. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing “party schools.”
Obama did the same thing. Vague and open-ended comments allowed listeners to insert whatever they wanted to hear into his intentions and comfort themselves with the mantra of "I know what he *means*."
The most frightening part is that those who "self identify" as conservatives are caught up in it. It's feel-good pap.
I’m shocked, shocked to find out that a candidate for President supports ideas that I’m not a fan of.
Given that the other realistic options are Jeb, Rubio or Hillary, I’ll take Trump, please, and I’ll hold my nose while doing so. I expect him to do some things as President that I don’t like, but I’ll take an independent populist who gets some big conservative ideas right like stopping the flood of illegals and refugees, gun rights and and a tougher stance against the growing Caliphate any day over the globalist socialist puppet show we get with the others.
It’s too late, there are a lot of Trump supporters like me who are going to care very little when FR posters rush to tattle on Trump for everything he says, or that people say he said, that is “unacceptable” or “not truly conservative”.
The Uniparty system we have is totally corrupt. Cruz isn’t electable, as much as I love his rhetoric. There are no guarantees that Trump will be able to change the course we are on, but he’s the only one who might.
