Trump: Cruz Controlled by Special Interests UPDATE: Allen West Weighs In

The Pundit Press ^ | 1/16/2016 | Thomas

[therightliveswithus]

Donald Trump has been on a tear today on Twitter, consistently attacking Ted Cruz today. Trump has called the Texas Senator a hypocrite and challenged him repeatedly over his comments regarding New York.

Trump: Everybody that loves the people of New York, and all they have been thru, should get hypocrites like Ted Cruz out of politics!

Earlier today Trump slammed Cruz for accepting money from supporters of gay marriage and then taking a stand against it. He said on Twitter, "If Ted Cruz is so opposed to gay marriage, why did he accept money from people who espouse gay marriage?"

[caww]

Reality hit didn't it????...or are you still numb to the facts just presented to your viewing of Trumps investments in the Keystone Pipeline and Goldman SAks and others ???....That IS after all what Trump submitted....

But then maybe you're just telling us again that Trump can "Do anything he wants to"....it's either none of our business or it's his choice because everything is just good????? And we're suppose to forget he's running for the highest position in our Nation....??? Sorry but these things do matter and should when we elect the leader of our nation.....not a hero...not a savior....and not an entertainer....but a President and your guy has been and is on the wrong side of the issues we care about....and has been for 'years'....a gentile reminder

Did you just say something like: When you, the owner of a soccer team which requires certain finesse and a skillset needs new talent, you go out and hire the best hockey play to fix it?
.........................................................
Just what is the latest count on former SOCCER PLAYERS who are now high income FOOTBALL PLAYERS because they can kick great field goals and points after TD?????????????????????????

Hmmmmmm, seems you lost that round!

[combat_boots]

GOPe still wants Yeb!

We get 'nothing' for that Pipeline...it gets shipped overseas....it's canada's oil not ours...and WE have to pay for any cleanup....which will cost millions when it happens...

Oh my gosh that did indeed go over your head unfortunately...so forget it you wouldn't understand with the blinders you're wearing...

I think at this point we'll end discussion....you're obviously in the league that's in so deep you can't get out of it. Enough said....

Round 2

When Trump is the POTUS, I hope he has the skillset and patience to deal with Congress and Washington politics in an lawful and above board manner. A track record in Real estate is not a track record in politics.
...........................................................
Why don’t you take a look at the clip of Trump’s appearance before a Congressional Committee who sought his expert advice in a matter of taxation, government overreach, and the economy. OBSERVE the mutual respect between the parties. Trump is no newcomer to the playing field. That took place in the 1990’s and I am sure his expertise on the economy has been sought many times since.He knows how to handle politicians and foreigners alike. Buying a loaf of bread at the corner grocers and putting together a multi million dollar deal are not one and the same. Cruz can’t even get more than a handful of Senators to side with him. Trump has gotten hostile politicians and nations alike to go along with him.Look at the skating rink in N.Y. and then look at the multitude of golf courses all over the world.

[CyberAnt]

But, as usual .. everybody overlooks (or ignores) THE POLITICS .. THE POLITICS .. OF THE ISSUE.

TRIBE IS A DEMOCRAT .. OF COURSE HE’S GOING TO SAY CRUZ CAN’T RUN AS PRESIDENT .. THERE’S NO OTHER ANSWER HE WOULD GIVE. TRIBE BEING A LAWYER HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE.

WHY ISN’T ANYBODY UNDERSTANDING THIS ..??

[Mollypitcher1]

I doubt Allen West would go along with Cruz. Allen is a fighter. He would not go along with a namby pamby politician, IMHO. Allen and I have talked about Patton, Chesty Puller, MacArthur and others. He’ll go with the person he thinks will protect and rebuild the strength of our military. It isn’t Cruz. It is Trump!

[pookie18]

Well, we know Cruz is pro-life & that he’s pro 10th amendment re gay marriage (since I don’t think that the SCOTUS ruling can be overturned). All I know re Trump is that he WAS pro gays in the military, pro partial birth abortion & a registered Democrat from 2001-2009 who has praised many of the Democrats that we detest...I have no idea what his feelings are now. I do know that I want the chance to vote for a conservative for president for the first time (as I was apolitical prior to the late 90s)...&, among many other things, SCOTUS picks are very important to me.

[Mollypitcher1]

Round 3.

He’s not going to be selling real estate. He is going to be executing the Constitutional laws of the land. And he has no proven experience. Of course this isn’t always a problem if you can sell people on the idea. Worked well for Obama who never had a real job, but he could bull$hit you into trusting him.

Obviously you know nothing of the hurdles one has to cross to be a developer. The massive legal, financial, and personal risks involved. It is not just standing up in front of a few fellow Senators and grandstanding on an issue that strikes your fancy. It is in-depth development and demands an extremely intelligent mind to hold all the details and weigh and balance conflicting factors, assess risk against possible gain, and MAKE SERIOUS DECISIONS which affect the future of your company and your family as well as yourself.
A politician who VOTES for the disbursement of the taxpayer’s money has no personal risk in the game. He wins whether his bill wins or loses. He still gets his paycheck paid by the American Taxpayer.
Trump is surrounded by legal advice which he would certainly also have as President. No change. No extreme difference from his present job as CEO of an enormously successful company. Trump takes risks, win, lose, or draw. That takes someone with lots of intellect and nerves of steel. Cruz can only lose his seat in the Senate if he does something wrong and then he just goes back to a job with a law firm pleading cases for foreigners against legitimate American businesses. He loses nothing except a little ‘power’, maybe.

[caww]

Looks that way....they have too much revenue invested in Jeb to let it "wash" away.....he'll have to finish the course no matter what kind of fool he makes of himself.

He didn't want to run to begin with....and he still doesn't...I don't know of any other candidate who will be so happy when this is over as he will be!...He's lost weight and looks awful....this has aged him terribly...

[Mollypitcher1]

BULL! Do you have family and friends in the oil business as I do? Are you so stupid as to think the building and MAINTAINING of the pipeline will not provide American Jobs? Do you think there will not be Americans employed at the refineries in the gulf states to handle the crude? Do you think American shipping companies will not be involved in transporting the oil overseas? NO WONDER you are such a dolt in anything that has to do with ECONOMICS! The fact that you have the right to vote is frightening!

[caww]

Yes I do have family in the oil business......right here in good old Pennsylvania....one of which has a pipeline running through his acreage...several fracking pads....who BTW also is in construction and several other businesses relating to that from gravel mining to top soil etc.etc..so you can forget that argument.

Next.....

[Mollypitcher1]

I wholeheartedly agree. Allen West is brilliant.

[combat_boots]

And here we are, slashing away here, over Trump and Cruz, when it’s the GOPe and their Yeb! who are among the enemies arrayed against us.

Beyond this, I would not put it past the Dems to throw the election to Yeb! just to make sure they can impeach him for something. That is, unless H3ll is the nominee.

If she is NOT the nominee, she will rain acid everywhere. If she is and loses, she will unleash a new biological weapon.

Whoever wins this election-if there is one-will have to face the entrenched effort to destroy finances, economies, governments, our military, the remains of our cultural commonalities. And then, there will be the illegals and rapefugee men who look strangely like soldiers...

All taken together, we are sailing smack into the storm.

[manc]

thanks for that info.

[Mollypitcher1]

You say next, but there is no next because you have nothing else to say.

[combat_boots]

You’re welcome.

We’re over here with long knives. Compared to the GOPe, we’re pikers. Compared to the DNC, we’re saints.

[V K Lee]

:-)) Outstanding individual. Wish to see more of him in the years to come.

[CatherineofAragon]

Caww, that one was pegged last night by a longtime Freeper as a No Labels liberal poster. She went on a feminist “hear me roar” rant, and recently she offered up a full-throated defense of progressivism on the forum.

These Trump worshipers are pathetic with their childlike awe of Trump’s money. They’re starry-eyed...they can’t stop chirping about his plane or whatever as though it makes him a superior being. And Cruz is sneered at because he isn’t super wealthy.

Come to think of it, that’s just one more liberal trait exhibited by Trumpsters. Conservatives don’t begrudge a person his wealth, and we think he should have as much as he can make. But we also understand that money doesn’t make the man.

[manc]

got that right.
