I would bet that when Cruz was hanging firm on the shutdown you were behind him 100% as were nearly all the Freepers on this forum.
Now when he is running against Trump, suddenly Cruz's efforts to control the size of government are considered evil or wasteful.
In reality Trump has no intention of reducing the size of government. Trump supported McConnell and opposed all the Tea Party candidates.
Other than condemning a lot of property to build his Real Estate Empire, what has Trump "accomplished"? What did his donations to the Clinton's buy? What did his donations to McConnell and Pelosi and Reid buy him?
“Other than condemning a lot of property to build his Real Estate Empire, what has Trump “accomplished”?”
He hasn’t “condemned a lot of property”. You lie. And that old lady Cruz keeps bringing up saying Trump condemned her property? He never did. When she didn’t accept his monetary offer, he let it go. And when she did finally accept an offer from someone, it was for a lot less than Trump was offering her at the time. She was holding out for the highest bidder, and lost the poker game, ending up accepting a lot less money for her efforts, hah. So you lie.
Next, what has Trump accomplished? He has hired thousands of people, giving them good jobs, many of them union jobs, so even the union guys (not their corrupt leaders) love Trump and will vote for him. And every day, in those buildings that he has had built and other entities he has created, thousands upon thousands of people are going into those buildings to work, or purchase goods at his malls (Trump Tower, etc.) and stay in his hotels, or to play at his golf courses, or to purchase his products that are made by hired and working people. And tons of people are out there spending money at his various enterprises; that money keeps our economy growing, even in spite of the lousy Obama Administration. Plus he has entertained millions of people on TV with his highly successful programs and brought the ratings (and thus money) to those TV stations.
Even the enemy newscasts have made money off of Trump because of ratings and they know it, which is why they keep putting him on their shows, in spite of the fact that many of them probably can’t stand him. They aren’t fools and know what side their financial bread is buttered on.
And you ask what has Trump accomplished? And you dare to compare him to a man who has so far in his career, been a glib lawyer and a politician who has accomplished very little other than cost the taxpayers a lot of money in a gov’t shutdown effort that he knew would go nowhere if you were honest about it?
I’m a pragmatist who wants to see good results. Cruz doesn’t get results, Trump does. You just keep those blinders on, while the doers in the world vote for Trump, and you vote for yet another loser. P.T. Barnum says a sucker is born every minute. You fit the bill. Sucked in by yet another lawyer, glib of tongue, even as he spouts lies, and conveniently forgets loans he took from the likes of Goldman Sachs, and big New York financial entities like CitiBank. And whose wife worked for Goldman Sachs to boot and is a globalist by trade. Go ahead and back yet another lawyer who is most likely not even a natural born citizen, again if you were honest about it. I’m betting most people don’t want that.
It is not the time for a Cruz in history. It is time for a strong leader who is unafraid to respond to his and our country’s enemies. That man is not Ted Cruz, with his Mickey Mouse speaking voice that does not instill confidence. Not what you want going up against Putin, the Ayatollah, or Hillary for that matter.
Cruz is young. He’ll have his chance at the big prize in the future, when he has more of a track record than a career as a lawyer and a first term Senator that has not produced much. His time is not now.
