Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% used former President Jimmy Carterâs words to bash Donald Trump in a new ad.
Cruzâs new ad uses a clip of former President Jimmy Carter telling the British Parliament that he would rather have Trump as president than Cruz.
âTrump has proven already that heâs completely malleable,â Carter says. âI donât think he has any fixed opinions that he would really go to the White House and fight for.â
The ad then touts Carterâs assessment of Cruz.
âTed Cruz is not malleable,â Carter says. âHe has far right-wing policies, in my opinion, that would be pursued aggressively if and when he would become president.â
NOTE THE WORD "MALLEABLE." Describes Trump perfectly.

So you prefer Cruz over Trump on illegals? Trump will deport them,You're pretty funny.
I second the notion from us Floridians - Rubio is a lyin’ liar from Liartown, FL. I won’t vote for him again.
You'd think after getting burned badly by Mel Martinez, Flordians would think twice about blindly jumping in line to endorse a "charismatic Hispanic rising star Republican" the instant they announce they're running for the U.S. Senate.
Apparently not.
Cruz is no Martinez.
Thats how he won Iowa. Cruz 2016! :)
Where are you in Florida? Northeast here.
There were two polls or so about four days out that showed Trump way up but by election night the rcp was only an average of about 4 points for Trumpâ¦with a couple very late polls showing it dead even. You can’t claim with any credibility that NH is a similar situation. Trump has been far up constantly there, unlike Iowa where Ted was leading for awhile.
I was talking about Rubio. Floridians didn’t elect the Senator from Texas.
Yeah....it would be much more Christian if he did something like compare Trump to a child molester.
Hank
The fact that Cruz would use this is just an ongoing un-Christian slimy style politics. There is no difference between this and scamming Carter voters.
Trump talks about winning...http://m.townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2015/10/24/the-25-best-quotes-from-donald-trump-n2070450/page/full
“We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning.”
Cruz actually wins!!!! (Iowa anyway)...and Trump and his supporters have a “Trumper tantrum”!!!
LOL!!!!
If Cruz wins the nomination we lose. He has the charisma of Ben Stein on a vicoden drip...like it or not that’s important. He’s far from a “great communicator”.
Ok, cool. And when Trump crushes Ted in the south then you just be wrong, happens to all of us from time to time.
I believe Trump will.
Not true. Cruz is the modern day Reagan. Reagan won in a landslide. We need a conservative in the Wh. I think that if Cruz wins the nom and elects Trump as is VP, it would be a great ticket. Imagine, a conservative and and entrepreneur in the WH? Perfect ticket
So you prefer Cruz over Trump on illegals? Trump will deport them, will Cruz?

Great Question Trump is for Touch and Go Amnesty much like Romney in 2012. From the transcript if the Nov Fox News Debate:

[quote]BARTIROMO:
Can we just send 5 million people back with no effect on economy?
TRUMP:
You are going to have to bring people â you are going to have to send people out. Look, weâre a countryâ¦
BARTIROMO:
So what will you do?
TRUMP:
Maria, weâre a country of laws. We either have a country or we donât have a country. We are a country of laws. Going to have to go out and they will come back but they are going to have to go out and hopefully they get back.
But we have no choice if weâre going to run our country properly and if weâre going to be a country.
Note the Money quote by Trump: “Going to have to go out and they will come back but they are going to have to go out and hopefully they get back.”
Hopefully they get back REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you turmpettes even listen to what this idiot says?
Cruz OTOH has a realistic proposition
ENFORCE THE EXISTING LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would do a number of things:
First anyone who comes in contact with the law will be deported.
Second BUILD the Fence that has already been authorized by Congress and seal the Border.
Third NO BENEFITS for Illegals.
Fourth Strict enforcement of E-Verify punish people who hire illegals (like Trump), without jobs and benefits they illegals will leave. People who are here illegally will never be able to apply for American citizenship. They will want to leave prior to being identified as illegals.
Fifth legal immigration scaled to the numbers of Americans employed. Not the Employment Rate, but the number of working Age Americans out of work including those who have given up looking for a job.
Sixth withhold funding to Sanctuary Cities
This will reduce the number of Legal immigrants until the economy is health and employing Americans. HE has detailed the specifics. on this part of his website:

Cruz has gone way beyond the empty platitudes of Trump and played a big part in stopping the gang of Eight bill when Trump was still in favor of amnesty.
Here was Trump’s post in 2013:

Congress must protect our borders first. Amnesty should be done only if the border is secure and illegal immigration has stopped
Yeah I prefer and TRUST Cruz on amnesty far more than Trump.
