(CNN)The national spokesman for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign is calling the Donald Trump campaign "the Seinfeld candidacy," because as he puts it, "The whole campaign is about nothing."
Rick Tyler told CNN's Erin Burnett that Trump says "nothing about immigration, nothing about job creation, nothing about what's going on in North Korea, nothing about ISIS. I mean this is amazing."
Tyler said Cruz is running a campaign about conservative issues and that Trump fails to discuss the issues because he isn't a true conservative.
Both Trump and Cruz are eying key primaries in southern states starting with South Carolina, which holds its primary February 20.
Tyler added that "Donald Trump's own worst enemy is himself." ...

About nothing.
Typical Trumpbot.
....”Tyler said Cruz is running a campaign about conservative issues and that Trump fails to discuss the issues because he isn’t a true conservative.”........
It would be a serious mistake to believe he’s a conservative and worse entrust the entire pro-life, pro-marriage movement to Trump who has blown up two marriages of his own and thinks nothing of boasting about his infidelities. So how can he possibly talk about conservative issues with an sincerity or degree of conviction.
Not to mention he operates gambling and strip clubs, has supported abortion on demand and Planned Parenthood for decades and still says there are good things about planned parenthood. Then he further speaks of appointing his own pro-choice sister to the Supreme Court!
Further more it would be a catastrophe to entrust the security of our nation and our allies to a man who has no foreign policy and national security experience.... who clearly doesn’t understand the threat of Radical and Apocalyptic Islam and who says he gets his military advice from watching Sunday TV talk show...and he did indeed say that.
Anyone can speak of conservatism and say that they are...it’s another thing altogether to live it and have the convictions of.....Trump does neither.
Because they are fleeing into the arms of the perceived strongman, even though he has no record to back up his claims, and what record he does have goes COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
understood, but empty platitudes are often winning slogans
consider the empty platitudes of a MUCH MUCH less qualified candidate than anybody running today,
“hope and change”
(translation: I hope to change your country into a conquered province in the world-wide IslamoNazi Caliphate empire)
At least 29% of the vote in each of the 10 counties
37% of male voters
32% of female voters
46% of people who have a high-school degree or less
41% of white voters without a college degree
39% of voters making less than $50,000 a year
35% of Republicans who voted in the GOP primary
35% of independents who voted in the GOP primary
36% of conservative primary voters
32% of moderate primary voters
31% of voters who said the most important issue is the economy
52% of voters who said the most important issue is illegal immigration
32% of voters who said electability was the top quality for a candidate to have
65% of voters who said a candidate telling it “like it is†is their top quality
44% of the Republican primary voters who said there should be a ban o Muslims coming to the U.S. (In all, 64% of Republican voters believe that.)
So, if you’re a Republican fighting Trump in this election, you’d better think of ways of putting up a better fight with the help of all this data. Exit polls also showed that seven in 10 Trump supporters said their vote was a “strong endorsement,†while less than 30% had reservations.
The GOP frontrunner earned 46% of the vote among those with a high school education or less; second place was Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)with 13%. Trump earned the support of 38% of those with some college; second place was John Kasich with 14%. Trump earned the support of 32% of college graduates; second place was John Kasich with 18%. Trump won 23% of those with post-graduate study; Kasich came in second with 22%.
I loved the Seinfeld premise “about nothing”. It was refreshing at the time.
In a presidential candidate “about nothing” with daily changeable positions is not intriguing or entertaining.
Well, unless you like the shallow exigencies of reality TV.
Some desire more substance, positions; we want to know where our candidate stands and are not interested in a candidate who shifts with every passing wind and who has a verifiable history not compatible with our positions.
And simultaneously claim flip flopping and "liberal positions."
Ted is going to get beat like a rented mule here in SC.
Cruz is a coward. No waterboarding for Canada Ted.
About nothing except making Larry David and Seinfeld hundreds of millions of dollars.
Crushed in New Hampshire? He only spent about five hundred thousand there, and spent the next to the least number of days there campaigning. Ted Cruz didn’t need New Hampshire, and he never tried to win New Hampshire...and he still took third place!
And what do you think is going to happen in the Bible Belt states? Ted’s going to mop the floor with Trump. It’s over for Trump down there...he just doesn’t know it yet.
LOL! Trump can’t construct a sentence with more than five or six words, how can he explain a policy, other than to say “It will be womderful.”
After stealing votes from Carson. Well, Ghost told him to run and cheat
He’ll hire the right people to do that.
Well, Pastor Cruz can preach whole day long, nothing will happen.
So what’s Rafael running?
The ‘Degrassi Junior High’ Campaign.
Childish and Canadian.
