Cruz uses Jimmy Carter's words in anti-Trump ad
The Hill ^ | February 4, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 02/04/2016 12:24:08 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is using video of former President Jimmy Carter against rival Donald Trump.

A new ad released Thursday quotes Carter, who said Wednesday that if he had to pick between the two, he "would choose Trump" over Cruz.

"Trump has proven already that he's completely malleable," Carter, a Democrat, continues in the clip. "I don't think he has any fixed opinions that he would really go to the White House and fight for. Ted Cruz is not malleable."

Let’s hope Trump does. I accept your expertise.

Now you tout a man with brain cancer. Has Jimmah always been someone you trust? Or do you have no lower threshold as apparently neither does Cruz.

... He’s inflexible!
and with his lack of popularity on both sides of the aisle
you are almost assured of a hamstrung ineffective presidency.

You bought into the uniparty/msm meme.

You got to love Carter. He really told the truth on this one. “Malleable” is a euphemism for “phony.”

I trust that he’s right about Trump being “malleable.” Heck, once you cut through the cant its clear from Trump’s books and from his own words that he says things to get his way, and it’s clear he does not believe in anything beyond himself.

Sounds like you are describing the phony Cruz and his best Christian on earth meme. Trump has faults but he does not hide them like Cruz and Ms Goldman Sach have.

As they say, even a stopped clock is right every now and then.

Not really. Cruz had nothing to do with Jimmy’s offering of an opinion. Of course, for Trump’s conspiracy theorist: Carson is a psycho when Donald says it; Carson isn’t a real Christian when Donald says it; Cruz is a Canadian when Donald says it; and Trump is championing Carson’s mistreatment by Cruz. The world is upside down if Donald says it is.

No he brags about bagging other men’s wives. Quit a Christian conservative, that guy Trump.

Another Democrat singing praise of Trump.

But, you worry about those Maine Republicans endorsing Cruz as some sort of problem with Cruz’s conservative cred?

LOL, so its OK if youre a liberal to pursue hard left policies but not OK for the rigt to pursue theirs

exactly and there are now a lot of people "on our side" who totally agree with Carter and for the same reasons.

Yeah what a great President Jimmy Carter was, but hey, at least he taught Sunday School, and was faithful to his wife.

Makes me wonder what would have happened had Trump run as a Democrat.

Trump is about winning, so he would be pro abortion, pro open borders, anti Second Amendment, and he'd be talking about reparations for slavery.
