Oh give me a break!

This isn’t raw politics. No substantial issues are debated. This is mudslinging for mass entertainment.

It’s aim is a breaking point, and we’re fast approaching that.

His wife made $800,000 at Goldman Sachs. She was part of the CFR machine.

He needs donor money.

No thanks!

“mudslinging for mass entertainment”

Aka Roman political rhetoric.
Done for a purpose, they had it down to a science, and people like Caesar and Cicero were masters of it.
Trump and Cruz are modern masters of rhetoric, that which works in these times.
There is method to this madness.

The things driving us to the breaking point are greater than the demagogues. They are also being driven before the wind.

Good point.

<><> He takes 3-4 positions on an issue.

<><> He then lies in wait to see which position benefits him.

<><> Once the voting stops, he examines which way the political winds are blowing.

<><> He then votes to benefit himself.

<><> He pulls out a canned excuse to cover his self-serving ***.

THS IS CRUZ/S WHIRLING DERVISH ROUTINE: He supports an issue then votes against it, figuring the rest of us are so stupid, we can/t figure out what he/s doing.

Example: Crux's cloture vote. He pushed for it, then voted to bring it to the floor, then voted against it.....knowing it was going to pass.

SOP for self-serving Cruz---when he loses he tells himself he/s winning. Heaven protect us from his delusional Harvard-educated Ivy League mind.

I agree. Trump doesn’t help himself when he goes overboard on those attacks. It demeans him and it’s lost him a lot of support.

“Can you draw out 5000 people during a blizzard on a very cold, snowy night?
Donald Trump can!”

So could Michael Jackson, before that child-molesting faggot died of a OD.

They both are/were entertainers.

Neither is someone that most would elect to represent them.

How. Where is the path for Cruz? He got 11% of self identified independents in NH. That’s not a path to electoral victory. OTOH, Trump get support across the board. That’s how you win.

You would sing a different tune if Cruz were drawing these numbers.

No, no I wouldn’t.

I wouldn’t have walked across the street to see that child-molesting faggot, or Trump.

LOL. Carson screwed himself. With all the recent movement from Carson to Cruz they knew Carson was tanking,CNN report made sense. The only ones still whining are trumpees and Ben himself. 2% in NH and no money.

One week, Trump is calling Cruz a maniac and a liar and a nasty guy. A week later, Trump is saying Cruz is a nice guy and would consider him as his VP. Questions for the Trumpsters:

1 - Trump thinks a maniac and a liar would make a good VP, what does that say about Trump's judgement?

2 - Was Trump simply hurling insults at his opponent to assassinate his character and/or score cheap political points, much like your typical left-wing hack?

3 - Is Trump mentally unstable?

please answer without mentioning or referring to anyone other than Trump.

....Again I ask: is this a positive conservative message?
I find it very positive. Why do you mention conservative? There is nothing Conservative about Trump. He has gone full Alinsky on the other GOP candidates and still fondly refers to Schumer and Pelosi as his good friends. Brags about the $100 million ballroom for the WH? That is conservative. We would not only get to pay for that but for all his buddies parties there.
Since his campaign started he has reneged on his promise to deport illegals, changed from “we have to take in Syrian refugees” to no Muslims, was very weak on support of Israel before he figured out he was not welcome to go for a free mug shot with Bibi, promoted government healthcare for all in NH. He could not even define conservatism in last debate. And on and on.

Don’t forget corker and the Iran deal. Cruz helped sentence America to that too!

Dozens of people here call Trump a liberal and they ignore the treasonous crap Cruz actually supported and voted for while assisting McConnell.
