Overall a good rant.

All of the admirable qualities the actor ascribes to Donald Trump could equally be ascribed to Ted Cruz but with a crucial difference.

When Ted Cruz changes a position (or allegedly so) on trade or H1B visas as examples he is accused up and down this forum of hypocrisy. When Donald Trump changes more than his position on one issue but inverts his entire political philosophy, switches from being a Democrat to a Republican, flips on every single core issue, his epiphany is accepted as though he were baptized in the River Jordan.

If we are identifying con artists described in the rant, it is not reasonable to attach that label to Ted Cruz but it is certainly appropriate to fix that label to Donald Trump.

That is your defense, every one does it? Trump has actually been consistent on positions since the early 80s. other then abortion which he changed around 2000 and has fully explained his change of heart to my satisfaction. cruz changes on the fly, now he is working with rubio and the GOPe in an absolutely desperate attempt to destroy Trump. That is why Sen. Sessions and Palin as well as other are coming out in force to support Trump.

Trump was a private citizen and his opinions -were jus those. You can’t compare the two because Cruz in in a position to do irreparable harm to our country with his vots. Trump is and was not. Dwell on this for a few - and hopefully, you will understand the difference.

Trump is learning as he campaigns.

Cruz is the smartest, fully informed on immigration and trade, married to a CFR member Goldman Sachs executive in the globalist camp. Cruz has played America just like Rubio.

There is a world of difference between a businessman making off-the-cuff comments on a subject as opposed to an elected representative casting informed VOTES on a bill. The comments are never designed to establish national policy, can never be remotely considered as such, but bills like TPA and the Corker bill affect the very destiny of the nation.
