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

Heheh.

I bragged about not being stupid, but I am still an idiot. I have made some money but have lost big several times.

And when it comes to women, I am particularly stupid.

Bingo! Plus I don’t want to replace one president with a pen and a phone with another one. Trump’s executive style has always been troubling to me. And I don’t hear him talking about operating within the constitution. I was for Cruz in the beginning, swayed over to consider Trump and now certain to vote Cruz in the Michigan primary.

What makes Donald Trump so formidable is that he'll have a pen, a phone, and a Twitter account.

If you want someone to pee in their pants and just do what the Democrats say, keep voting for most of your Republicans in Congress.

I’ll take a chance with Trump. With the regular GOPers, there’s no chance.

I am resolved to pray for a miracle.
I am also resolved to pray for those here on Free Republic who are open to do a honest assessment of where Trump will lead us.
So many are down right blinded right now.
GO CRUZ GO...

How many businessmen can you name who get involved in government policy such as you demand from Trump?

“Where was Donald when a County Clerk from rural Kentucky was sent to jail for obeying the law, where was he?”

I remember Huckabee going there for protest purposes. Did it change anything, accomplish anything?

What has anyone except Justice Moore done about gay
marriage?

I named three...there are many more, but Trump is not among them. His involvement in government policy was bribes, kickbacks, and obtaining special favors to further enrich himself.

There businesses were being attacked/involved. I was referring to businessmen who are all the time giving out policy position papers. They don’t.
