Nothing was articulated by Trump first. That is the lie he keeps peddling. Ted Cruz announced his candidacy brfore any one else so anything anyone said about anything was said after Cruz. I’m not saying Trump is an idiot. He just chose to participate in a forum he was not prepared for. He didn’t do his homework and now he is hanging by the skin of his teeth. He should have run third party. The time was right for that. He miscalculated and now he blames someone else for his mistake as he always does. Nothing is ever his fault. He thinks he has to be a god in this thing and it is not flattering to him for a lot of folks.
Oh Please, Every position Trump has when articulated he was attacked for. Cruz waited to see how they were accepted and then he parroted them.
Cruz was not for the Wall other then token talk,
Cruz was not for stopping Islamic invasion in fact he tried to double the number of them coming in.
Cruz was not for stopping our Jobs going over seas, in fact his wife is one those who is pushing for the North American union,
Cruz was not for getting the lobbyists and special interests out of the decision making, and hes is still not as hes owned 100 percent by the GOPe now.
The more people learn about Cruz and Trump the more they dislike Cruz. Cruz people are fed a steady diet of lies about Trump from Cruz, The Establishment and the media. yes Trump has some warts, but hes trying to save America from the people Cruz is actively working for.
Cruz has been FOR things that destroy American sovereignty and bring us closer to his wife’s Council of Foreign Relations goal of the North American Union. Name one time hes actually acted to oppose that agenda not did just lawyer talk and theatrics on it.
