#UpToOldTricksTed Cruz
Why is he getting a pass on this? Carpet bombing doesn't make sand glow in the dark. he stood on a stage and threatened to use nuclear weapons in the middle east and now he has the nerve to question Donald Trump's temperament?
Cruz is a maniac and shouldn't have his fingers anywhere near the button.
Why are you opposed to defeating ISIS?
Yeah, dropping a nuke in the middle east would be a darn shame.
What's your plan to deal with ISIS, Whoopi? Appoint Bergdahl as Secretary of State?
For the record, sand can glow in the dark without the use of nukes. So, the lawyer Cruz has an out . . . nonetheless, please let the whining continue.
Why is he getting a pass? Because nuking the Middle East and sending those Islamofascists back to the stone age is actually a great idea.
I support nuking the muzzles, too. Starting with the saudies who we should have taken out on 9/12.
Don’t we all? /rhetorical
Fear not, the Middle East will nuke itself, soon enough.
So has Trump, hypocrite.
I have no problem with Cruz’s message. Why do you.
We’ve been fooled by Trumps over the top message, a man who was never a conservative, then we get upset when a conservative tries to get tough.
Time to Wake Up!
Nuking the Middle East sounds good to me.
I recall Reagan’s famous “gaffe”, “Testing, testing, we begin bombing in five minutes.” Scared the bejeepers out of Ivan. Sometimes you have to speak Mohammed’s language.

...This is Kansas in the ’80s, and America is an irradiated, nuclear hellscape. Welcome to The Day After, a TV movie ABC aired during prime-time in 1983. The film was so effective that it depressed Pres. Ronald Reagan.
He wrote about it in his diary, and some biographers speculated it had a direct effect on Reagan’s desire to end nuclear proliferation during the back half of his presidency....
In Dutch, Edmund Morris’ memoir of Reagan, the author depicts a president who remained depressed for days after watching the film. Morris speculated that the film led Reagan to pursue the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with the Soviet Union.
The treaty called for the elimination of all mid-range nuclear missiles, defined as arms aimed at targets 300 to 3,400 miles away. It was an important step that led to the destruction of more than 2,500 nuclear weapons...
Is this you Obama? When did you sign up on FR
Channeling LBJ now, are we?
In the fwiw dept, on this forum on 9/11/01 I suggested the use of 3 W-88, one for Mecca, one for Medina, and one for Qom. We wouldn’t be having this problem now.
I must be crazy too.

Seriously, RC, do you REALLY think Trump is emotionally mature enough to have his fingers ‘on the button’, really?
Yes, he says the things we like to hear and yes, I would vote for him just to keep that screeching old bitch Hillary out of the White House.
Besides that, Cruz never said that he would nuke the middle east. However, I would like to keep that option on the table.
Well he’s got my vote now for sure.
Reagan made similar comments about Iran being flat and glowing after election day. It was why the Iranians released the hostages within 20 minutes of him being inaugurated
