Pro-Ted Cruz robocall blasting Trump and Gov. Haley on Confederate flag
Postandcourier ^

Posted on 02/19/2016 1:12:51 PM PST by springwater13

A pro-Ted Cruz robo-telephone call is blasting Donald Trump for butting his nose into support of the Confederate flag coming down.

The recorded message, coming late in the campaign, also takes a jab at Gov. Nikki Haley.

“Put it in a museum, let it go,” the recording says, quoting Trump and his view on removing the flag.

An announcer then picks up by saying “That’s Donald Trump supporting Nikki Haley removing the battle flag from the Confederate memorial in Columbia.”

It adds “people like Donald Trump are always butting their noses into other people’s business,” and that “Trump talks about our flag like it’s a social disease.”

Why the knee-jerk hatred toward Ted Cruz? Do you have ANY evidence that his campaign is responsible for these robocalls?

Cruz is zeroing in on the big issues: gluten free MRIs, the Confederate Flag, fun with Photoshop, etc.

I believe you mean "MREs" but I agree with you.

Who owns that creek bank? Did Trump use eminent domain to take it? /s

RE: H1-B visas

Trump, Oct. 2015 debate:

“We’re losing some of the most talented people. They go to Harvard; they go to Yale; they go to Princeton. They come from another country and they are immediately sent out. I am all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in Silicon Valley.”
*************

I agree with both Trump and Cruz that where companies can’t find Americans with the right skills, H1-B Visas should be used to fill in the gaps. Both have also used the argument that Trump is saying above. We educate and train them - we should get the benefit of their skills. I think both of them are reconsidering it though in how that can be enforced and managed - as many companies use it as a way to get cheap labor.

Nikki Haley’s view that a flag is responsible for mass murder is as bad as Barack Obama blaming guns.

I don’t even know at this point who’s responsible for the ‘robo call’.

Politics at this point in time and in this situation is pants on the ground dirty. I don’t even bother to look at it too much lest I become disturbed or angered.

A Confederate veterans family group is planning a “Confederate Flag Day” March 5th in nearby Gettysburg.

MSM tied up in knots over it.

“Where are Trump’s calls reminding people that Cruz helped write Bush’s amnesty bill, or that he proposed a 500% increase in job-killing H1-B visas, or that his wife proposed the subversion of the Constitution by the creation of a North American Union?”

Oh, well all that’s okay, because Cruz is the only reliable conservative.

Or something.

Blush blush. I’d like to blame auto-correct, but I think I actually did type MRI. Meals Ready to Ingest? :(

Which liberal policies of TRUMP’s did you have in mind?

Closing the border, building the wall, making Mexico pay for it, stopping the Muslim refugee shipping into the US, building a vetting system, restoring religious liberty, cleaning out the VA system, killing politically correct speech dead, instituting fair trade finally with China and Mexico, bringing back foreign jobs, already naming names of conservative types for the Supreme Court, so,.....what other liberal policies, dopey?

” Cruz could say he likes Donald Trump and the trumpbots would accuse of him of trying to steal Donald’s votes by associating with him. “>>>>>

Cruz is campaigning on fumes and negative ads now, and everybody sees it. He was too damn late figuring out what this election is about and was quite under-prepared for the TRUMPINATOR, entirely.

I don't think a conservative can win a northern liberal state unless they adopt liberal policies like Trump.

Hmmm.

Trump was quoted as follows on June 22,2015....

"I think they should put it in the museum and let it go," Trump said of the flag during an appearance at his new golf course in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. "Respect whatever it is you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum. But I would take it down. Yes."

At least Mrs. TRUMP is an American citizen and actually knows it, and is not found “surprised” to learn that she is a citizen of anywhere else.

Trump University law suit obviously is dead or on its way. How old is that canard anyway.

As for Heidi, she was most certainly involved with the architects of a CFR pleasing effort to increase
“friendliness” with South America and Mexico. It was called a North American something or other. It meant “UNION”.

Next?

So you Trump supporters are now big advocates of political correctness?

Not me! I think Cruz should just go on doing what he's doing.

More robocalls, more violation mailers, more emails begging for money.

He should do it all. Heck, he should even do more of it.

Double down.

LOL!! Yes, on that one it’s “Go Cruz”!! I think he is about out of shells, by now, and that hole in his foot should begin to heal nicely before too long.

Texas was a part of the Confederacy.

Against the advice of Sam Houston. Just saying.
