Ted Cruz’s Donald Trump scheme: The real purpose of today’s meeting of anti-immigrant minds
Salon ^ | July 15, 2015 | Simon Maloy

Posted on 07/15/2015 11:52:08 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Texas senator will have a very huge, very classy meeting with Donald Trump so he can benefit from Trump's collapse.

Donald Trump, the billionaire loud-talker whose head resembles a half-rotted cantaloupe, phoned in to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” earlier today to discuss his bigly classy presidential campaign. The “Morning Joe” panelists did a fine job of pretending to treat Trump like a serious human politician, asking for his reaction to the Iran deal (“I could have made so much better a deal”) and once again asking him to defend his bigoted nonsense about Mexican immigrants (“I have hundreds and hundreds of Mexicans working for me. I love the Mexican people”). It was, in most ways, your standard Trump interview: irredeemably stupid.

There was, however, one interesting bit of news that Trump dropped: he confirmed that he is meeting with fellow Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz today, and he’s doing so at Cruz’s request.

TRUMP: Ted Cruz called me, and – I don’t know why I’m meeting him, to be honest. But I do have respect for him. I respect the fact that, along with a couple of others, he came out and he came out very strongly and agreed with what I said on illegal immigration. And he came out very strongly and he came out early. And I respect that. I like him. He called me, he wanted to meet, and we are going to meet. What it’s about, I have absolutely no idea.

Say what you will about Trump, he doesn’t shy away from the fact that the best way to earn his respect is to say nice things about Donald Trump. And, of course, he’s correct: Ted Cruz has been one of the few 2016 candidates to actually defend Trump for disparaging undocumented immigrants....

"..whose head resembles a half-rotted cantaloupe.."

I don't think Simon has ever seen a half-rotted cantaloupe. Oh and.. F*** Y** Salon, you piece of garbage!

So you’re so mixed-up that you think I’m a Liberal Limey named Simon Maloy? No, what we do here is post articles from people in the media and then we discuss them. Now, I can’t match you in weird Middle East, Nazi and Camel Milk Ice Cream stories, but then, who can?

Can you imagine if Obama’s head was compared to a rotting coconut with a putrid overgrown raisin in the middle?

“Good thing Simon came along to explain it to us common folk.”

Simon was no where near the actual meeting. He has no idea what was or was not said. The only information in the article was Simon demonstrating he knows nothing about Trump or Cruz.

This is typical MSM nonsense. Cruz is the son of an immigrant. Yet he is attacked as anti-immigrant.

You know, an illegal alien is not an immigrant.

Donors can’t control him. He is one of a kind.Cruz wisely commended Trump having the fortitude on closing the border. They are allies and respect each other but this wishful fantasy that some how Trump is going away is a waste of dream time. He has not even started yet.

Tell me, what am I thinking right now?

Gretcin just pointed out it was much higher because of the limits on the buildings. Also 40 out of 45 stocks he played with last year made mega millions

I already bought my kettle corn for the 1st debate. I will probably have tears in my eyes laughing so hard.

Cruz is going to try to play Trump.

Respect, respect, respect? Yeah, looks to me like anything BUT respect!

Certainly brings up other potential head analogies, say for Obozo and Moochelle, Sharpton, etc, the possibilities are endless.

Now that we know these two are going to meet – my brain isn’t quite capable of imagining what a private conversation between these two would sound like

Speculating Salooon. Doesn't know anything admits his bird-brain is incapable.

“TRUMP: Ted Cruz called me, and – I don’t know why I’m meeting him, to be honest.”

If the guy could rein in his ego for just a couple min. he might do himself some good.

But he is not the right kind of Conservative for the FR purists. Course neither was Palin. Makes you think it is easier to bash the speaker than to defend them.

After Trump is gone, who is next?

Pray America is waking
