Cruz Releases Video Of Trump Talking New York Values And Partial Birth Abortion Support
Redstate ^ | 1/16/2016 | Jay Caruso

Ted Cruz has taken more heat for his comments about “New York values” than he has anything else he has said since he was elected in 2012. Naturally, since most of the mainstream media is based out of New York, it has been high horse riding time as so many have gotten their panties in a wad over the comments. Ironically, they take more offense at what Cruz said than in Donald Trump’s blatant birtherism. Being a birther is cool now that it’s not Barack Obama who is the subject of Trump’s comments.

Unfortunately for Trump, who deftly (but at the same time shamelessly) evoked 9/11 as a means of responding to Ted Cruz’s comments, he cannot escape the very things he has said over the course of the last 15 years. Trump, as I have said on prior occasions is a charlatan. He is not a conservative at all. He is not now and never has been one. Outside of immigration (which is far more based on phony populism than policy), his views on taxes, healthcare, foreign policy and trade carry all the hallmarks of a progressive Democrat.

I have no problem with Cruz politicking but his point is false. Politicians flip flop because that is all they have in life and will say anything to get elected.
I think trump loses 400 million a year as President. I think some of his views have flipped as he evolved.
Until he decided to seriously run he probably did not set many of his positions because these things were not in his life then.

I think Trump is an older guy sick of what is going on and believes he can fix this. He always new the enemy, he knew all the problems with government.
I don’t think he has had to deal with lots of social issues until now, but I think he will do what he campaigns on very well.

Good for Cruz! Unmask the phony liberal Trump for what he really is.

“are you from Manhattan or what already??’

Sounds like one of Trumps San Francisco supporters.

After all Trump just loves San Fran Nan and her San Francisco values.

Cruz is the only true conservative in this race

That is just flat out a lie and I'm tired of hearing it. Cruz is owned by GOPe donors and despite his newly found religion on illegal/legal immigration he will cave on amnesty and increasing H1B and refugees increases of 5x. We need the truly most conservative candidate with the most conservative platform. That is Trump.

He took loans against stock he had. That was not free money as he had to pay it back or lose his stock. If one gets a loan, period, it has to be paid back. He borrowed the money, it was not given to him free, was not a political contribution by any bank.

Over my life, I borrowed money from banks to buy houses. They gave me the money, but I had to pay it back. That is what a loan is, pay it back.

Seems to me it was Cruz, not Trump, who voted FOR funding abortion. Since the revelations about baby parts being sold, Trump has asked for defunding of abortion. I don’t think anybody had an idea of the horrors being carried on through abortion clinics prior to that horrendous revelation. Why have all the so called conservatives we elected to the house and senate voted AGAIN to FUND Obama’s nightmares? What did we put all these charlatans in Congress for? Why are they going against our wishes and voting for anything Obama asks for? The answer is in the NWO’s AGENDA 21. If people would get off their lazy butts and read about Agenda 21, they would see what is happening to our once great nation.

Trump did not even donate to the 9/11 charities. OVEMBER 3—In the aftermath of the 2001 terror attack on the World Trade Center, Donald Trump, a billionaire son of New York City, did not make a single charitable donation to any of the not-for-profit groups that provided aid to survivors, rescue workers, or the families of cops and firemen who died trying to save others, Internal Revenue Service records show.

And while it's been said that Trump is paying for his campaign primarily out of his own pocket, I would like to see some real journalist examine how much of his campaign is really being financed by others...such as the GOPe or the Democrats

The answer is none.

NY like CA are pretty much irrelevant to a national election why would anyone care what New Yorkers think. its blue today gonna be Blue is 2016, 2020, and so on. And never did hear New Yorkers thank the rest of America for the millions and millions of dollars the rest of us sent them. Just saying

Trump is a loving father and grandfather. No one doubts that. As happens with many people as they get older and encounter real life experiences, their views change.


Or they lie for political expediency.

“Cruz is getting desperate. “

If I have not said so yet, welcome to Free Republic.

Please don’t feel too disappointed when your opinions are totally disregarded and you are considered a troll. It is a gut reaction many of us conservatives have toward people who show up 6 or 7 years into Obama’s presidency to lend their support to the conservative cause.

Please be sure to get back to us with more of your opinions of the most conservative candidate AFTER you have a clear track record of conservative support yourself.

Thanks.

Thanks! We shouldn't hear any more about Trump being pro-choice.

I am going to try and mail you the html so any time you hear the stuff being posted, if you want, you can just post it. I have just decided that arguing back and forth is fruitless. I just post the facts, documented, and believe the truth eventually wills out.

Definition of political progressive: one who desires to use the force of government to force business to conform to the government protocal. My definition.

Conservative business prospective: get government out of the way of all business, make sure business is responsible for their own mistakes, no bailouts. My definition.

Trump still hails the bailout.

Cry havoc and release the dogs of war.

To put it another way, the Trump folks are coming and foaming at the mouth.

I wonder if they will attack the author of this piece or deal with the contents?
