Taking aim at businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz said at a campaign rally Wednesday that too much is riding on the 2016 presidential election to get fooled by a showman that is more bluster than substance...

"We can't be fooled by P.T. Barnum," Mr. Cruz said, alluding to the late founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. "The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has past."......

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line.
Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

Listen, if I was like Cruz and had no accomplishments to campaign on, I would resort to insults and lies as well.

A good businessman does not lose all his investors’ money four times.

With GOP nomination looming, Trump is slated to take witness stand in fraud trial

"Here's a part of the political calendar that nobody in the Republican Party seems to have noticed: This spring, just as the GOP nomination battle enters its final phase, frontrunner Donald Trump could be forced to take time out for some unwanted personal business: He's due to take the witness stand in a federal courtroom in San Diego, where he is being accused of running a financial fraud.

In court filings last Friday, lawyers for both sides in a long-running civil lawsuit over the now defunct Trump University named Trump on their witness lists. That makes it all but certain that the reality-show star and international businessman will be forced to be grilled under oath over allegations in the lawsuit that he engaged in deceptive trade practices and scammed thousands of students who enrolled in his "university" courses in response to promises he would make them rich in the real estate market.

Although the case has been winding its way through the courts for the past five years - and Trump has denied all wrongdoing - the final pretrial conference is now slated for May 6, according to the latest pleadings in the case. No trial date has been set, but the judge has indicated his interest in moving the case forward, the pleadings show.

"This is pretty amazing," said Scott Reed, a veteran Republican Party consultant, about Trump's upcoming due date in federal court. "Usually, you clean this stuff up before you run for president."............................

“We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum,”

That is it? Is that all Ted has? Oh my, talk about the bottom of the barrel. Sounds like desperation to me.

“We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum,” Mr. Cruz said.

Well, that’s disproved daily here.

Oh shut up Ted...you’re so pre-NH. You actually want people to believe you’re still relevant.
