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."......

Weak, beta male stuff.
Cruz’s death rattle. Rigor Mortis sets in within two weeks.
Trump critics have been using that line since June.
SO lame.
How rich or poor his daddy was of little consequence. My in-laws were hard-working, and as a result, somewhat wealthy. I watched one of their sons squander a similar opportunity to Trumps’, and another flourish from his own effort. Ain’t what y’ get: it’s what you do with it.
I have read many of the accusitory blizzard against Trump...and every other candidate. Also, the refutations. It comes down to my gut, and knowledge gleaned from our history: Trump is not the first of his type to occupy the Oval. There are precidents: men who were made for the times and necessary, despite their inadmirable social posture and provinance.
I judge that Trump is such an one, and must take him at his word, qualified by where he has gotten himself.
To be sure, he will be advised and checked by the other two branches. I do not feel he is a tyrant, but rather a respector of the limitations of the office, and what others have.
Right guy; right time. FWWIW
Next Tuesday Ted will be toast. Even if he wins TX he won’t get any credit for it. Trump will win everything else and a good deal of the Texas delegates if he comes in second there.
You will see Cruz supporters who see the handwriting on the wall start to peel off for Trump and maybe a few for Rubio.
I notice you signed up 1 month after Trump announced.
Why no interest in FR, T.E.A. Party Conservatism before?
Hope you are donating Noob, not just enjoying a free ride.
First time I thought & heard it.
I do think it’s lame, I think it’s the truth.
Why are so many of your fellow Trump supporters throwing Cruz's name out for Supreme Court Justice?
It’s not a deflection, it’s the full record.
I’m so sorry you’re so mesmerized by Your Highness Trump to recognize his numerous inconsistencies and a whole record of issues that show ANYTHING BUT a TRUE CONSERVATIVE.
But keep talking about that WALL and IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE!
Totally unoriginal and without persuasive power.
Hasn't convinced a soul.
I am well aware of what you’re talking about. I’m also aware this is not an issue he puts at the top of his priority list, and he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I’m also aware of him saying just two weeks ago in a debate that Planned Parenthood does “a lot of good things”!!!
Did you forget that???
Does that sound like a true pro-lifer to you?
Don’t be confused Donald Trump is a TRUE AMERICAN...something the government lawyer you fawn in front of is not.
It didn’t say there was no good.
What I’m saying is I do not believe he is an authentic conservative. And it’s obvious he isn’t.
Yes. I love all men AND women AND babies - both BORN and UNBORN.
And I care enough about that issue, that I don’t just take a man’s word for it, when he has previously said he was in favor of allowing partial birth abortion.
Pardon me, for questioning that!
What has happened to conservative values on this site?
Is all that matters is the “Wall” and “Winning”?
I want a lot more than that...
Sorry, don’t care enough to have Google tell me I’m not a clever as I thought I was.
It was 16 years ago and he repented and has continued along the path. I think that is human, humble and shows character.
“It was 16 years ago and he repented and has continued along the path. I think that is human, humble and shows character.”
IF it’s legitimate.
I hope for all our sakes it is.
This happens with a lot of people. A personal light will dawn on them, not a political one but a personal one.
Trump has shown a broad trend rightward, which however is nowhere close to perfected.
Where is that from?
Because I WANT IT.
Okay, I know the Donald is the acrobat so is he the clown or the dancing bear?
The Zombie horde is in high gear tonight.
Singing and dancing as they follow the lemmings over the cliff singing, “Make America Trump Again.”
