Ted Cruz’s amazing ability to piss off the Marxist Media

Frankly I don’t care if I get labeled a trump hater. The man is a lying liberal scumbag.

Just going back to May when Trump said Pam Geller is an obnoxious blowhard who baited muslims into attacking her so she could get attention. His support for renewable fuel standards and ethanol subsidies. His support for normalization with Cuba. His support for eminent domain seizures. It goes on and on and no other candidate would be able to make that many dumb statements and walk backs.

Its pathetic the way some “conservatives” angrily slap their gums together about GOPe betrayal then immediately demand that all of us betray conservatism to support their guy. They are the Boehner Republicans and don’t even know it.

Cruz makes a good, but ineffective martyr and not so good presidential candidate.

[steve8714]

I like Cruz. I like Trump. I could support either, wholeheartedly.

[spintreebob]

Well said. Those who decry immigrants turning us into a 3rd world country then support The Donald Peron, son of Juan and Evita who would become our first banana republic president.

Trump has already defeated them.

Poppycock. The media made Trump. They give him GOBS of free air time. In return, Trump is playing to their ideal of a "Republican" with no intention of doing what you think he's saying.

Trump is in the hotel, construction, and golf course businesses. You have to know that he and his subcontractors ONLY employ American citizens and legal immigrants, right?

Obviously not. Trump would not be competitive in those enterprises unless he has. Even so, Trump's supporters have been so starstruck they've missed his comment, "We'll bring back the good ones." What he evidently plans is a variant on Kay Bailey Hutchison's Operation Touchback, which was rejected as equivalent to amnesty back in 2007.

The politicians in DC are very aware that Americans want the illegal aliens to go. That is why their latest Scamnesty legislation includes a “touchback” provision. Under these laws, the illegal aliens can hop across the Mexican or Canadian borders where special "Ellis Island" stations are set up for them to pay a fine, receive new documentation and be back in the US within days or hours. Source And from another source: The bill’s “touchback” requirement appears aimed at making it appear that the newly-legalized aliens are applying for permanent status from their home countries “just like other applicants.” This exercise in window-dressing fails to disguise the fact that under the bill illegal aliens enjoy their own privileged pathway to citizenship, don’t compete with applicants who have complied with U.S. immigration laws, and come right back into the United States after applying abroad.

Senator Hutchison says that this “touchback” before permanent residency amounts to a grant of “amnesty,” and therefore opposes it. She thinks that the illegal immigrants should have to leave the country in order to file additional paperwork before they can get the Z visas.

But this is a distinction without a difference. Whether or not she is successful in amending the bill, illegal immigrants will get probationary legal status, and thus the ability to work in this country without being subject to deportation, immediately. That’s amnesty: The law-breakers get the object of their crime. An immigrant who overstayed his visa can keep working under the Hutchison plan. Another immigrant who obeyed the law and left when his visa expired, on the other hand, will be out of luck. Source

Trump has apparently hidden the same gambit behind the shell of temporary deportation, else he'd better explain how he is going to deport one-out-of-fifteen US residents.

If he can’t, I can.

I saved this graphic when it was first published during those hearings with Feinstein and Senator Cruz slapped her down with his brilliant comment that was both accurate and humorous. I loved and admired him so much that day.

If he could only bring that same humor and brilliance onto the campaign trail and into interviews by perhaps recounting stories of his achievements or encounters with hated, arrogant demonic-rats maybe his polls numbers would increase.

I continue to hope and pray that his "break through" moment will come and there's still time. Perhaps in the next debate, but it's painfully obvious FAUX News is ignoring Cruz, but I hear that F. Chuck Todd is beginning to talk him up, for some unknown reasons.
GO CRUZ!

I will be happy with Cruz, Trump and even Carson.

A good triumvirate.

“It IS, in fact, within the scope of Congress’ power, to disallow certain books. For instance, a book full of pictures of kiddy porn or kiddy porn literature.”

The child porn example strikes me as a bit of a straw man. Children are not of a legal age to give consent, therefore it is illegal regardless of our distaste for it. I think that puts it out of reach of the 1st, whereas consenting adults performing the same acts would fall under the protection of the 1st. I am not an advocate for porn in any fashion, but this is along the lines of saying the 2nd entitles one posession of nuclear weapons.

[MUDDOG]

That *is* an all-time great comeback.

[onyx]

Yeah, those three are all A-OK with me.
I just can’t warm up to Mrs. Fiorina. I remember her from CA when I voted for her against that horrid Boxer. She didn’t fight back effectively and Boxer was an easy target.

[mylife]

Don’t get me started on what she did to the proud hewlitt packard

[onyx]

Smiling! Yes! It’s just one example of Cruz’s sharp wit and humor. If he could only exhibit that quality in a debate or during his TV interviews by recounting personal encounters with demonic-rats or during Q & A’s, I think a whole lot of voters would see him in a different, more endearing light.

Cruz *is* a very personable, sharp, witty and humorous guy!

Right now, he’s viewed as smart, serious, “right-wing” and rigid, and that’s not wholly accurate.

I watch him and sometimes see him trying to dumb-down himself ... searching for words that uneducated folks will more easily understand. Well, the hell with them!

[onyx]

Right!
There’s THAT, too.
And also NOT paying her staff for her CA US Senate run until right before she decided to run for this nation’s highest office!

[MUDDOG]

I also think of him as a cool, collected, and brilliant chess player who’s ten moves ahead of everybody else.

He’s biding his time right now, but I’m sure he’ll make the right moves when the time is right.

[Yardstick]

Let’s put aside the fact that wearing a jackboot most vigorously makes no sense...

Actually it makes perfect sense, dumbass.

Which is why I want to see you and your philosophy destroyed.

[Reno89519]

That is the challenge, Cruz is not necessarily unlikeable like Santorum, but he definitely is not hitting a chord with anyone but a small niche of people that welcome a martyr. The rest of us want a winner and we are tired of losing. Cruz should quit the campaign and focus on winning some panels in the Senate. If he thinks that forum won’t work, he should quit and move on to one that does. Even if Trump were to drop out tomorrow, Cruz has zero chance of winning the nomination or the presidency in this election cycle.

[Reno89519]

That chart is pure BS. Foreign policy, Cruz gets Red, maybe Yellow if you want to be generous as he gave Obama fast track on free trade and Iran. Immigration, Red as he won't say deport and plays games with not wanting to answer the question until a wall is built. Further, he supports 500% increase in H1B. Moral issues, Yellow. He gave Obama fasttrack authority, then complains when he uses it. Hypocrite and political act making excuses about the definition of "is".

I think these are equally wrong for Carson and Trump but why bother...

[Isara]

That chart is pure BS.

You should take this up with the Conservative Review's Editor-in-Chief. You may get this answer: GET OFF THE PHONE, YOU BIG DOPE!
