THIS WEEK (ABC): Cruz, Sanders; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Cruz, Christie, Kasich; Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure A sobering investigation into the cost of medical services, where the difference can be THOUSANDS for the EXACT SAME PROCEDURE! How can they vary so widely, even within the same city?
LOL. Hardly though. The adolescent taunting game will continue apace, with itsy bits of substance tossed in. Rubio can;t avoid his turn in the barrel. Just that the sunday shows, this week, aren't going to be part of that spectacle. Cruz has an important contest only two days away, and that is his battle to fight.
I notice no new polls out of Texas, and figure tomorrow will bring the customary "anti-Trump is winning" polls, by NBC/WSJ.
I totally agree with all of this. Secret society made the family stay silent...0bama et al with Jarrett, Soros, why is this so hard for some to believe?
Chris Wallace is arguing with Trump on Little Marco’s behalf.
Trump and Cruz have broken the mold all right and the political and media Establishment is in a panic. As you say, follow the money. The District of Corruption gets trillions of it every year and even manufactures trillions more out of whole cloth for their favored friends and supporters.
It's no wonder they are in a panic. Their little cozy con game has been exposed for the fraud it is. Of course, the UniParty still has Hillary - if they can keep her levitated until past the election from an indictment for multiple felonies.
Cruz says something about Trump and mob connections, Chuck Todd jumps in and says it is speculation. Cruz says ABC and others have reported on Trump hiring construction firms with mob connection.
Cruz also says Todd should ask Trump about donations to Planned parenthood.
Q: "How did Trump steal your outsider brand?" Cruz says Tuesday results will show two candidates head to head. Todd reiterates the "what will you do if you are third in delegates." Answer is that he expects to do better than that/ Closes on claim that Trump supports gang-of eight by implication, donating to candidates.
Trump up. Asked how he got Christie's endorsement. Trump said Christie called him, although Trump was close to calling Christie.
On ABC, oily Cruz shamelessly echoed Romney
to attack Trump on his alleged IRS “bombshell”,
and then went further connecting Trump
to the Mafia. Stephanopoulos was apparently surprised,
and Cruz claimed it came from .... ABC.
Wallace is really outraged that Trump had Polish workers 35 years ago. He is now dragging the Trump University fake lawsuit.
Now Wallace is trying to make him release his tax returns and requiring him to give his income, tax rate and charity donations.
Now Fox loves the IRS as long as it attacks Trump. None of your business Chris.
NOBODY owns Donald.
He is beholden to NO ONE.
He’s a brilliant business man, CEO.
He will surround himself with the most brilliant, talented America has to offer-per his cabinet and advisers. This is the kind of man we need to run the country. He Will make America great again. He will make America RESPECTED again.
The revolution many of you have wanted and predicted because we are so angry at the corrupt government is here. It’s being led by Donald. Don't let him down
I’ll be interested in hearing the questions Wallace lobs at Rubio.
Trump Campaign Manager Reveals Fox News Debate Chief Has Daughter Working for Rubio
I can live with either Trump or Cruz. I just wish Trump would stop with the petty insults. Even my wife who is a strong Trump supporter cringes at some of the things he says. Watching her yell at the tv is fun though.
Not scientific, but still good evidence that Cruz may have a real fight on his hands in Texas.
Wallace will get a Trump twitter smack-down soon enough......
I think Trump should not release his tax returns. Just tell the media to stick it.
If Trump does release his returns, he should have a charismatic tax lawyer or CPA speak for him for any interview. There’s no reason Trump should have to defend himself, given the complexity of taxes, and Trump would be better served to have an expert defending him than trying to do it himself.
Does anyone share my frustrations with Romney and the establishment for fighting harder to defeat Trump than they did to defeat Obama in 2012? All this crossfire makes me sick to my stomach to a point that I will never reconcile with the republican party.
Cruz isn’t coming off very well. “Don’t interrupt me.”
I wish he'd do less, but I think some amount of petty material is both inevitable, and also gives the brain some "relief" from pondering the so-called debate on the weighty stuff. As you noticed yourself, "watching her yell at the tv is fun though."!
Wallace is putting some heat on Cruz, on Cruz's article in favor of Roberts. He is eliciting Cruz commentary that Trump would nominate judges that are against the 2nd amendment, against religious liberty; that Trump is a hypocrite by hiring illegal aliens; that Trump supported liberal politicians over conservative ones (Wallace asked about Trump giving money to Cruz).
Wallace asks about the Iowa Carson thing, testy exchange as Cruz accuses Wallace of using Trump's opposition file. Wallace was angry. Cruz says "let me know when I can talk." Brings up the misattribution to Coburn, and robocalls from a white supremacist group "don;t vote for the Cubans." Generally accusing Wallace of going easy on Trump.
Awkward ending, as Wallace thanks Cruz for appearing, and Cruz does not respond. Five or seconds of silence, then Wallace moved on with the program.
Cruz is stretching the truth about his support of Roberts. He was in the Bush WH and pushed Roberts hard from what people in Texas are saying.
Sounds like all the networks got their talking memos to ask basically the same questions of Trump - I’ve only heard F. Chuck Todd as that’s all that’s been on here so far. I had to switch after listening to the panel for a couple of minutes.
“Does anyone share my frustrations with Romney and the establishment for fighting harder to defeat Trump than they did to defeat Obama in 2012? All this crossfire makes me sick to my stomach to a point that I will never reconcile with the republican party.”
Amazing isn’t it? I’ve been telling people that also. If Romney and GWB and others had fought the left the way they’ve fought Trump, we probably wouldn’t have Obama and wouldn’t have had the great recession, imo. Tells us all we need to know, I guess.
