>> Ted Cruz would beat Hillary or Bernie <<

Maybe yes, maybe no.

But at least Cruz has a decent chance, because he is within the margin of error against Hill or Bern for some polls — whereas Mr. Trump is usually way outside of the MOE, with a gap that seems to have grown recently.

What you have posted has been proven to be a student intern’s paper that supports the economic benefit of trade agreements on the less fortunate.

You have proven yourself a despicable liar with your own post.

What is stunning is Teb is running only to try and prevent Trump from getting 1237 delegates so Ryan or Romney can have the Rino nomination.

Wow, you've seen through Cruz's plan, one he's been working on for the last 18 months. The establishment foresaw the rise of Trump (using chicken entrails or something) and put in motion a plot to have Cruz appear to piss them off only to come back now to stop the true conservative hero, Trump, from defeating them. You win the internet.

You are doing a stretch job.

I have not used the phrase “serial liar.”

We have been dealing with D-1’s careful manipulation of facts here since the day he arrived.

That is what I am talking about. He uses his crafty phrases to divert the reader from the truth constantly.

Well, I’d say that depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

>> How can we tell which answer he actually believes? <<

You should drop your sarcasm and your pitiful attempt at ironic humor. Get with the program. Mr. Trump can make no mistakes and can utter nothing wrong. Moreover, he is incapable of contradiction. All of his answers are equally and simultaneously valid. No criticism of Mr. Trump will be tolerated.

...Then Trump runs as an independent and draws enough votes away from the Republican nominee that Clinton or Sanders win.

Which has been what I figured Trump's intended purpose was from the start, given his strong connection to the Clinton's over the last several years. Many have speculated that his campaign was a means of undermining the GOP to guarantee a Democrat win (Trump's party for the majority of the last 20 years).

Plead it to any court of competent jurisdiction, and as you’re being dismissed with prejudice, you’ll be lucky not to be charged costs for frivolous litigation. Even the learned and esteemed Dr. Orly Taitz probably won’t be able to save you.
