Sunday on ABC's "This Week," while discussing the replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Republican presidential candidate Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% said of his opponent Donald Trump that the time for the circus and reality show was over when it come to choosing a commander-in-chief that will uphold the Constitution.
Partial transcript as follows:
CRUZ: But Justice Scalia's passing also has a profound impact on this primary. It underscores the stakes for the people of South Carolina. They're looking at the individuals on that stage. They're asking, who can I trust? Who do I know will defend the Constitution and will defend the Bill of Rights? Because the pattern we've seen, George -- and you're a veteran of these battles for many years. Democrats understand the stakes and they fight tooth and nail for left-wing judicial activists. Far too many Republicans don't care about the court, don't invest political capital in it. And it's why so many Republican nominees have turned out to be disasters. And let me say something...
STEPHANOPOULOS: One of them that...
CRUZ: -- in particular to the veterans of the state of South Carolina. To the veterans in South Carolina, your Second Amendment rights are hanging in the balance. Justice Scalia, one of his biggest opinions was the "Heller" decision. It was 5-4, upholding the individual right to keep and bear arms. If an additional liberal justice goes to the court, we're one justice away from the Second Amendment being written out. And if Donald Trump becomes president, the Second Amendment will be written out of the Constitution because it is abundantly clear that Donald Trump is not a conservative. He will not invest the capital to confirm a conservative. And so the result would be the same --

It is absolutely, abundantly and completely clear that Trump is not a conservative in any way, shape or form.
I have no idea why people believe Trump’s flip-flops on this forum when few believed Romney’s, other than that Trump is a better salesman. It’s still laughable to me how many “weasel words” Trump uses to be able to get out of almost any position he’s taking in this primary and be able to claim it wasn’t a lie later. I don’t know why more people can’t hear it for themselves.
More examples of Trump’s weasel words.

The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions.
I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

Notice that the “great businessman” signs thousands of invoices without reviewing the first one. Or so he told the court.
His STATED position from this year is at my link. Go back 16 years?
Ok, back then Ted was working for W Bush, and do was Heidi.
Globalists. You call them conservatives.
When did Bush ever say he was a “globalist,” whatever that means?
Thank you for standing up to all of the Cruz haters on this website. History will show their ignorance. They actually like someone (Trump) who has been an enemy of conservatives most of his life — long-time Democrat, donor to Democrats, supporter of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The people on this thread attacking Trump will be shown to be wrong. If by a miracle of hell itself that Trump wins, he will be a national Arnold Schwarzenegger.
If you can’t admit that the entire Bush family are globalists, I have no reason to discuss anything further with you.
You can say that again.
Because Trump has said a lot of things. And then he said the exact opposite of those things. If someone tries to hold Trump accountable for something he says, a Trumpophile calls the accuser a liar simply because there is another Trump quote contradicting the first Trump quote. Its why Jimmy Carter called Trump “malleable.”
Stop. Yer killin’ me :)
Take a look at the way Trump acquired his winery to see the real character of Trump and that of his thieving children who helped him.
Funny how so many trumpbots signed on in Aug 2015.
Trying to pave FR with Trump astro-turf!
Hope DONEald pays more than minimum wage and hope the check clears.

Trump did not stand with Barack Obama & Goldman Sachs and against Main Street in the U. S. Senate on one of the great issues of our time. Unfortunately, TPA Ted Cruz did.
I hate to sound ignorant, but I had no clue that he was found with a pillow over his head until I read the Breitbart comments. The clues and questions are mounting up quickly. There was a certain Hawaiian official that died of a heart attack after a plane crash awhile back... Obama stepping off the stage soon... the most conservative justice... rabbit hole...
I don’t believe in a million years that someone over 50 can evolve on a large range of issues all in the span of a few years. I don’t believe anyone who was willing to invest money in liberal Democrats less than 10 years ago believes passionately enough about conservative issues that he would actually go through a tough fight to defend them against the media and Democrats after he gets what he wants, to be elected. The idea that someone would trust a casino mogul and real estate developer as far as they could throw them is silly in and of itself.
Blah, blah, blah! Lawyer lying, spinning, and trying to dig out of the deep hole he has dug in the polls!
Sorry Teddy Bare. Donald Trump is the Veterans choice, and most all demographics love him! 42% today in SC poll. Teddy Bare, not even half that! Republican Delegate count: Trump 17, Teddy Bare 11!
The time for the lying, amnesty pimping, constitutionally ineligible, Canadian anchor baby boy to pack it in has long past. The whipped dog expression every time he lies, the Goldman Sachs sweetheart loans, the bogus ‘dual citizenship’, the pimping for John Roberts, how bad does it get, for crying out loud? Hey Rafael, aka Ted, pound sand.
"Abundantly clear" is a standard stock debater's phrase, used to make an opinion sound like a fact.
