Cruz on Trump: The Time For The Circus And The Reality Show Is Over
Breitbart ^ | 02/14/2016 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/14/2016 7:22:34 PM PST by MLL

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 --

You are confusing Cruz with Trump. It was Trump that stood in front of Liberty University students pretending to be both a Christian and a Conservative, as he quoted Two Corinthians. But I guess you have only selective Christian outrage.

You’re either a blatant liar or a total fruitcake.

Ambition overtaking principles. An old old story...especially in D.C.

Makes me think of the song The House of the Rising Son.
“..it’s ruined many a poor man and God I know I’m one.”

OK, you know what, your point about TPA is a fair one. Cruz backed it and then switched his position. Unlike most of the Trump people, I can see where Cruz is wrong and face reality.

Now maybe you can do the same. ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE WHO IN 2009 THOUGHT BARACK OBAMA WAS DOING A GOOD JOB AS PRESIDENT IS NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT. From Trump’s own mouth:

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: “Well, I really like him. I think that he’s working very hard. He’s trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe.”

So Obama is better than George W. Bush. Trump needs to have his head examined. By the way, I think EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER IS LIVING IN LA-LA LAND. The man has been an enemy of conservatives for most of his adult life — pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-Kelo decision. Now suddenly he runs for president and he’s our friend. I would love to be wrong about Trump, but I am certain I’m right. A man just doesn’t change his ideology overnight. He has had no religious conversation — and doesn’t even need God’s forgiveness or little of it. That is pride and hubris on the grand scale. We’ve just lived through Obama, do we want our own version of Obama.

Crap on Cruz threads. That is all Trumpbots know how to do. Phony, unsubstantiated, vitriolic crap.

FR is ruined.

Jim Robinson, your baby is desecrated with Trumpbot crap. On just about every thread. So sad ...

Too late. You should have jumped in your flux-capacitor juiced Delorean 50 years ago and whisked Mrs. Cruz back to the U.S. Before she popped little Rafael out in Canada. Hey, just chalk it up to a Constitutional lesson learned. Nexf time pick someone who is actually eligible.

Those women he's standing with are annoying, rude, vulgar, stupid and do not represent me and my values in any way.

I'm not surprised you wouldn't like them. Bigots are like that. they prefer smarmy lying lawyers. Those women represent and speak the truth and support the winner, Donald Trump! Teddy Bare and the cadre are LOSERS!

Hey, this is an attack on Trump, not a PR release from Cruz.

Good deal. The feeling is mutual. Another ignorant Trump supporter. Your guy may win...and the country will lose. If that happens, please forget about coming on this website in the future, because as far I’m concerned Trump will destroy the nation, and your part in electing the stupid one will be remembered and shamed.

I agree with you. These Trumpbots pollute the site. I’m in favor of grabbing every one of their names — and if Trump is elected and proves to be the loser we expect, we can shame them forever into the future as supporters of the man who continued our nation’s destruction.

Trump has been a liar his entire life. He euphemistically calls it “truthful hyperbole”.

Next time pick someone who is actually eligible to be president. I know, tough to do when there are only 300 million people to choose from.
