Rick Perry just endorsed Ted Cruz and I posted that news in a thread this morning. It's gotten over 100 comments.
On it I posted Rick Perry's comment in defense of Ted Cruz about the "New York Values" dust-up [Comment #84 at the link above].
[Rick Perry: "...."Mr. Trump took umbrage by Ted Cruz talking about New York values, and, you know, became very serious about - as we all were - what happened on September the 11th of 2001," he said. "We were all New Yorkers that day - don't get confused with that, but you know, I would hope there's enough humor in that person to understand that, hey listen, we all make fun of New York," he said. "I mean, come on, 'New York City? Get a rope.' Remember that ad, for the picante sauce?"]
I also posted a picture [Comment #52] of Rick Perry and Ted Cruz together at Fort Hood [Texas] in 2009 after Major Nidal Hasan in a terrorist attack left 13 Americans dead and 30 Americans seriously injured - the attack that Obama and his supporters called "workplace violence."
That Fort Hood picture, and Perry's comment defending Cruz on the "NYC Values" thing and the way it was reframed by Donald Trump and his campaign around the 9-11 attack on the Twin Towers - those 2 events - got me to wondering, did Donald Trump ever come out in support of Texas, the soldiers and/or denounce that terrorist act and the actions taken by the administration?
And is that a fair question to ask?
From 2012 - 3 years late.
That’s not the point.
First-you stated that you couldn’t find those quotes via google.
Second-Trump is not a politician.
Proceed.
Is This a Fair Question? Did Donald Trump Denounce the Fort Hood Shootings?
___________________________________________________________
I would have to say it is a ridiculous question.
I didn’t find anything on Google trisham.
Google doesn’t pull up “tweets” for me.
And I beg to differ, Trump most certainly is a politician.
#Trump’s position is that ALL our military bases should be filled with our soldiers with guns. Just yesterday at a rally he said the first thing he would do was get rid of the executive order banning guns on bases.

I think your question...Did Donald Trump Denounce the Fort Hood Shootings? has been answered, don’t you?
-btw I listened to Cruz speak for an hour on Saturday and he didn’t mention military or veterans issues once.

Thank you for your courteous response.
Is it fair to ask how Trump feels about it in 2016? Yes, for two reasons: a) he is running for POTUS and b) he invoked 9/11 terrorism as a defense to Cruz’s criticism of New York values.
Apparently, Trump did make a statement in 2012 before he announced his candidacy. So, I’m good with his position on this one.
Donald Trump doesn't just live rent-free in your head.
He built a 40 floor Trump Tower in there.
He was a private citizen back then. I’m sure he was just as appalled as anyone. So, no. It’s not fair to question if he put out a ‘public’ statement or not.
Now, this is desperation. Hope it makes you feel better. It makes me feel pity.
You don’t know shit - everything you said is bullsh-t
Please check back with your friendly probation officer at least monthly.
ROFL!

Nevertheless, C Edmund’s comment was accurate.
Why is the troll allowed to post that garbage here? He insults our intelligence.
As you do each and every day.
