How clever!
Cruz has the most solid tax plan of anyone. At least he’s not advocating higher taxes on the wealthy,as Trump has been.
I’m a native New Yorker. There was NOTHING offensive in what Cruz said.
Yep!!
I tend to agree with you and I despise Rubio. Cruz made a fatal mistake however, criticizing New York. Trump was dead serious in his response and showed an enormous amount of hear, love, and respect for the people of New York. Cruz was being a politician looking for a punch and it may have been his own knockout punch to himself. He is going to live to regret it. Trump didn’t take the bait that Cruz was trying to play. He wanted to appear so evangelical and disapproving of the social issues in New York. But Trump completely turned the knife back on Cruz by sincerely bringing up 9/11. It was brilliant and it was emotional. I may be wrong but i think Cruz is going to pay for it big time!
Wrong and wrong.
Cruz outdebated the lot of them. And he’s the most solid on POLICY.
He ate Trump for lunch on the eligibility thing.
Have you noticed how hard the Trumpkins are working to boost Rubio?
Just one Establishment guy helping another, I guess.
Buckley may have been born in NYC, but he was mostly raised in Sharon, Connecticut. The family had an estate there. (BTW, it was at the Buckley estate where Young Americans for Freedom was formed.)
When Bill ran for mayor, he used National Review’s office as his New York City address.
Hardly!
Trump’s sister is a big liberal.
She called a New Jersey law against it a “desperate attempt†to undermine Roe v. Wade. It was, she wrote, “based on semantic machinations, irrational line-drawing, and an obvious attempt to inflame public opinion instead of logic or medical evidence.†Judge Maryann Trump Barry
Is it your contention that Justice Alito concurs with this radical left wing ghoulish garbage?
Cruz may be right, but it doesn’t matter. Cruz insulted New Yorkers and all America was a New Yorker on 9/11. The country came together and Cruz struck out with a political remark insulting New York. It very well may be his undoing.It certainly proved once again that he isn’t so damn smart after all.....certainly he is not as smart as Trump.
still on
LOL delusional....whatever don’t waste my time.
Trump is believable and sincere, and I think he would surround himself, if Prez, with the best advisors available should he find he is lacking information or any political expertise. Cruz is well informed, politically adept, and fast on his feet but somehow I don’t trust him as much as I do Trump. I do think the Republicans nominess are now down to a two man race, and the two men are both a cut above what we have been offered in previous elections. If Trump becomes President I just feel he will find a way to get a ruling on “natural born” and the founder’s intent, it is long overdue, and we need to button this down so we don’t have to go through all that again with less worthy candidates seeking high office.
I would say definitely yes.
Oooops...Republican nominees
I have said this before. I am a native New Yorker. He did NOT insult me. he was actually quite correct. There was NOTHING wrong with what Cruz said, and it had NOTHING to do with 9/11. You and Trump know that, and so does the media.
