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....

Well thank you ;)
But to my mind one thing being a conservative is not, is being an Ivy League Libertarian who runs as a Republican because the public doesn’t want to vote for your actual positions.
Best of luck to you.
Wow, I clicked over there just to see if there were comments after this article. There was 1, 1 - yes, I kept looking...??? Did I miss something or was there only 1 comment??

CRUZ/TRUMP 2016! TRUMP/CRUZ 2016! Crump or Truz, I don’t care how it happens, just make it so!
lol :)
It’ll all be academic if Trump winds up president and Cruz ends up Attorney General.
How refreshing.
Meanwhile, where does Trump stand on Obamacare, and abortion within it?
Where's he stand on minimum wage?
Where is Trump on the homosexual agenda, gay adoption, gay scout troops, forcing bakers to participate in gay weddings?
What's Trump's stand on global warming and the EPA?
Common core?
Limited government, and the Constitution?
Where does Trump stand on the 2nd amendment?
I went to Trump's website for answers, and found mostly information showing his great ability to achieve personal goals, admirably, constructively, and highly entertainingly.
I did a quick search on the 2nd Amendment. Trump says itmust be protected -- but the reason for doing so, the true American reason, the one the Founders had in mind, sails waaaaay,/I> over his head.
He thinks the 2nd amendment is for self-protection from criminals. He's also on record saying he favors longer waiting periods to buy guns.
But why should I worry? We've only got nearly two dozen to choose from in the coming primary!
It is all going very sideways, very fast now.
Shrewd of Sen. Cruz. If the Donald is sucking up all the media coverage overshadowing all other candidates, then go to where the spotlight is shining and steal the show. Only Ted Cruz can out-troll Trump. ;)
