Donald Trump is ignorant. What’s Ted Cruz’s excuse?

Donald Trump says lots of ridiculous and offensive things. One suspects, however, he is sincere but has not bothered to educate himself on matters of public policy and is not much of a deep thinker. (Being an aggressive businessman who inherited enormous wealth does not take much brains.) Sen. Ted Cruz (RTex.), however, has no such excuse, and he's starting to sound even more ridiculous than the man whom is he chasing for the nomination.

You might want to talk to Trump's supporters about that. They haven't gotten the message.

Sometimes, like now, the stench reaches deathly levels. Stinks to high heaven comes to mind.

Well, you say, every candidate is allowed some hyperbole.
He's right. That's exactly what I say.

In fact, conservatives are united on many things — beefing up the National Security Agency surveillance program, voting for the National Defense Authorization Act in wartime, etc

So, these are now "conservative positions" because the author says?

Jennifer, You Ignorant Bitch!

Sometimes Cruz spews catchwords that have virtually no meaning. "The Washington cartel is panicking because conservatives are uniting, he proclaims. Huh? The debate champ with two Ivy League degrees should know that this is nonsensical. Cartel? The most feasible definition in the political context is "a combination of political groups for common action." Who exactly is in such a cartel? House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who wants to repeal Obamacare and enact conservative tax reform? He has been uniting conservatives for months. Unifying conservatives is his goal.

All Cruz and Trump supporters should go home, sit down and ponder where their lives went so horribly wrong that could support these candidates/s/

“One suspects, however, he is sincere but has not bothered to educate himself on matters of public policy and is not much of a deep thinker.”

I stopped reading this mental masturbation at that line.

The man is extremely intelligent. I’ve never seen someone who has a grasp of issues, events and people that directly affect our nation.

Then, he seems to know about the sports teams, as if he watches on Sunday like we all do.

He was on BOR last night, and wouldn’t let BOR get in the last word. He’s very smart. His books are smart.

Regarding business he’s forgot more than the moron who wrote the article will ever know.

Lame-stream media and GOPe HATE Cruz. He is one of only 4 Senators to rate and ‘A+’ from Gun Owners of America.

Jennifer is as much of a judge of ignorant as Paul Krugman is an expert in economics. Krugman is about as much of an expert in economics as Typhoid Mary is an expert in epidemiology.

Dear miz ruben, psychologists refer to your derpisms as projection, it is very easy to see that with the replacement of two words you are actually writing about yourself Everyday Ruben spews catchwords that have virtually no meaning..
