The post, titled "Ted Cruz mistakenly claims Jimmy Carter endorsed Donald Trump," gives the reader the false impression that Ted Cruz said former President Jimmy Carter would vote for Donald Trump.
This thread is talking about whether Ted Cruz mistakenly claimed Jimmy Carter endorsed Donald Trump.
YOU posted Cruz's own words: If you watch the video, Cruz does say "Jimmmy Carter endorsed Donald Trump. I am not making that up. That is real..."
Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump. Glenn Beck endorsed Ted Cruz.
Jimmy Carter didn't endorse either Cruz or Trump. He was giving a hypothetical answer in a "choice" between the two.
It is easier to vilify people and call them liars when “cherry-picking” which parts of a statement to post or focus on. You are correct, Cruz does say “Jimmmy Carter endorsed Donald Trump. I am not making that up. That is real...”
What you left out was the rest of the statement:
“he said that between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz I would support Donald Trump.”
AGAIN as I said before, I doubt Jimmy would vote Republican but he’s stating his opinion (I believe) that Trump would be easier to mold and work with across the aisle than Cruz.
Ted is using this comment as a positive for his own campaign.
