Ted Cruz: If You Want Someone To Cut Deals, With Reid, Pelosi and Schumer Then Trump Is Your Guy
The Right Scoop ^ | 1/21/2016 | Right Scoop

Posted on 01/21/2016 3:32:13 PM PST by conservativejoy

Ted Cruz hit back at Donald Trump today for his attack on Cruz, that he won't go along to get along to curry favor in Washington.

Of course Cruz accepts this criticism and in turn says that if you want someone who will go along to get along and cut deals with the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, then Donald Trump is your guy.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's clear Trump puts a high priority on his ability to cut deals with people and that's just not something I'm looking for in a candidate. I'm looking for someone who will push back against the DC establishment and push them to the right through solid leadership, so when they do end up cutting a deal, it's better for America.

That's not Donald Trump. He'll kowtow to the media and the establishment like all the other sellouts in Washington. Just look at his position on ethanol in Iowa for the most recent example

"Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future."

Cruz showed us how successful he was with his ‘Mr. Smith goes to Washington’ imitation. It didn’t accomplish a thing other than to raise Cruz’ profile before a run for President.

Cruz wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything in Congress as President. Most of Congress hates him. They’ll tell him to piss off and he will be impotent.

I am an idiot in many fields. But I have been pretty good in predicting markets and politics.

Caveat...I thought Romney would win in 2012.

I was crushed on the couch after having had too much vodka.

Whatta night. Whatta nightmare.

I am one of the few self aware Wall St geniuses.

I left Wall St when I finally caught on to what was going on.

That said, it is not a conspiracy...it is just an obsession with wealth.

Ted has gotten the ‘goofy eyes’ from CFR Heidi! (Remember that stupid looking idiotic, “5, 10, 20, 100...anything” video they made, (If they really made it. It looks like some ‘RAT production it is so damn stupid looking), with Heidi’s crazy eyes?)

Trump is still a Democrat. Why else would he say he’s going to let back into the country millions of new Democrat voters with his Touch Back Amnesty plan?

One thing is for sure, Trump is no Reagan. It is an assault on Reagan’s memory to even suggest such a thing.

Trump has said he will not tear up the Iran deal. That is insane.

Ted is very smart...just not too bright.

Well, I'll just say that anyone who thinks Ted Cruz is not bright has a blind spot for recognizing brightness in others.

Cruz voted for TPA, Corker bill, H-1B visas, etc., and he wants to criticize Trump on cutting deals?

“Has TRUMP said that he will resend some of these EO’s?”

Yes.

He also said he would send back any “Syrian” refugees that Obama brings over. Cruz hasn’t mentioned that yet. He may later on and claim it as his idea, like he did with deportation.

Cruz has never cut any deal; that is why the Babylonians hate him.

If he would cave in they’d love him.

I imagine a Cruz administration would be a lot of “well I tried but congress wouldn’t budge” and “let me tell you what the constitution says about this subject”

Yeah! Just like that Reagan administration.

>> "Cruz hasn�€™t mentioned that yet." <<

You are a disgusting liar.

Cruz said that they had to stay in their home country to fight, right after Trump said that we had to take them in.

Then Trump changed his story the next day.

“You are a disgusting liar.”

Cruz has never said he would send them back. Staying in their home country to fight is a different concept than sending them out of our country, you idiot.

I am not a liar, but you are a miserable POS.

The deal Trump wants to cut is simple.
He is self funded, thus his nomination will free up huge donor dollars for all the GOP and their dem cronies.
This is a very dangerous precedent to set in this republic.
It's always about money and power and duping the voters. Happy election year everyone!!

Suckers!

You do nothing but lie here.

They don’t need to be sent back if they never come.

Its an artificial crisis, and will not be wasted, especially by cruds like you.

Trump never goes into specifics he just says he’ll make great deals. Of course his supporters ignore that.
