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.

Re:”They want a Trump vs. Cruz cage match to take both out.
You might want to talk to Trump’s supporters about that. They haven’t gotten the message. “

Ain’t that the truth.
Thin-skinned, all full of piss and vinegar with a chip on their shoulder and will knock it off said shoulder if you don’t and blame you for doing so.
The word impetulant comes to mind.

What is Jennifer’s excuse?

“Before moving into opinion writing, Rubin was a labor and employment lawyer in Los Angeles, working for Hollywood studios, for 20 years”

I have been hard on Cruz lately in my comments, it has been my way of calling out some of the hypocrisy with people who are die hard Cruz and anti-Trump by pointing out that Cruz has done some questionable non conservative things in his very recent past.

I have decided that my behavior probably is helping our common enemies more than anything else. I won’t be so abrasive anymore and I will absolutely vote for Cruz if he’s the nominee.

But Trump haters, please try to give some benefit of the doubt to Trump. He loves America and is not embarassed by our history. ALL of the dem candidates and most of the GOP candidates want to reduce our influence in the world, line thier own pockets and placate our enemies. Trump is not a bad guy.

Hey Jennifer - why don’t you challenge Ted Cruz to a debate?

Just you and him.

You know Mano-Mano.

After he hands you your A$$, you can thank him like Media Benjamin did.

“Donald Trump says lots of ridiculous and offensive things.”

Translation:
Ridiculous = I can’t counter what Trump says with facts so I’ll declare them ridiculous.

Offensive = Trump is so un PC and constantly commits micro-agressions

Jennifer Rubin, the ostensible “conservative” opinion writer at the Washington Compost and her “Right Turn” column, is a fraud. Much as The NY Slimes trying to pass off super-squishy David Brooks as its conservative voice on the op-ed page.

She is a haughty, self-assured, stuck-up beltway critter, who couldn’t be further from a conservative in any sense of the term.

Nothing to see here.

Hey brickload,

There is no word “impetulant” - how could it come to mind?

Oh....never mind, it’s actually self-evident, you fool.

BTW, I really don't think anyone here at FR thinks Trump is a bad guy.

“The Washington cartel is panicking because conservatives are uniting”

This Jenny Rube column is Exhibit A of the panic.

Jebbifer Rubin trying her best to prop up the Cheap Labor Express candidates. She’s a good soldier for The Ministry of Propaganda.

Jennifer Rubin is the mouth-breathing WP scullery maid who posited "that Donald Trump's support is very reliant on voters without college degrees".

Outsmarting Trump: Consolidate college-educated voters
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3375255/posts

Many of us college graduates don't consider "journalism" to be a real college degree.

So how come Jennifer Rubin isn't supporting Trump?

And furthermore:

Bezos is sure paying a lot to try to savage Trump...

Some say the CTE from her dorm room bed headboard.

Apparently, she majored in the football team, and minored in the basketball team...

I hope you are right. Trump and Cruz are the only 2 that have a chance in hell of making it to the end. They will both have to run a gauntlet through their own damn party to make it to the end. Is that not amazing? Their biggest opponent is their own party!

The media and the democrats are a close 2nd and third. This media hit piece is just a small taste of what is to come..

I always find suspect the intelligence...

It's not the intelligence that's lacking; it's the intent to deceive.

Just read the 1st two paragraphs and it is obvious that Mr Rubin is the one who is ignorant.
