Politico noted on Friday that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a candidate for president of the United States, has said the first thing that has come out of his mouth that could be construed to be remotely negative about Donald Trump. Cruz stated in an interview that will run Sunday on WABC that he does not think that Trump will win the Republican nomination and that most of the mercurial businessman’s voters will gravitate to the man from Texas. The statement was so mild and obvious that if said about anyone else it would not be news. Indeed, a Trump spokesperson simply begged to disagree on Twitter.
But, as Hot Air reminded us, Donald Trump is no ordinary candidate. He has both a volcanic temper and a thin skin that has manifested many times in incendiary attacks on opponents and members of the media. The nation is now hushed, awaiting the explosion. Will Trump call Cruz a “loser” and will he go full bore birther on him?
To be sure, Cruz sweetened his observation with praise....

How is that relevant? Have you watched any Trump rallies or press conferences? He’s done like 10x the number of any other candidate has, and has answered every point that’s been brought up.
” no other candidate has donated to the Clintons and supported democrats in order to buy favors.
but no other was offering it up like Trump.”
Prove it.
Yes how is corruption relevant?
@TedCruz expects 2get #Trump2016 supporters...saying @realDonaldTrump will not get the #GOP nominee. I disagree!

No Democrat will cross the line to vote Republican. Hells Bells, Republicans have a challenge to vote Republican in this day and age. And, if you thought about it, that statement is the TRUTH. Voting Conservative over the liberal/progressive is a choice But in order to bring in the opposition party’s votes one must teach what Conservatism actually involves. Sen. Ted is working on that which takes time. After all he won by being a member of the Republican party - even with renegade status...He is STILL Republican, which may be the reason of his difficulty to rise in the ‘polls’ (so tired of these polls!!) The Republican brand is no one’s friend Republican is no longer Conservative and most folks know it. NOW most need to be taught what Conservative actually means and that definition is a far cry from the Republican party’s message.
Hope this makes some sense, it’s late and the mind is in jumbles at the moment. In essence, perhaps a third STRONG party will be the answer to any Republicans who still carry a fading brand.
Has anyone ponder perhaps Donald and Ted are involve in playing the media. They both respect each other and have meet numerous times.
Notice that there’s no “Twitter Storm” over this?
What’s “corruption”?
And why not answer the other questions?
No it is all quiet on Twitterland =)
Thanks.
I don’t see Trump picking Cruz as a running mate, if the two of them even stay in the race that long. Each man is very similar to the other in certain ways they handle the public and with their erstwhile conservative messages. Donald can be so in your face confrontational, that I think he would be advised to pick someone who appeals to people that do not care much for Donald.
I suspect he would pick someone very well spoken, and professional in demeanor. Someone less known for rocking the boat or destroying the boat completely. Donald his almost 70 y/o Seventy! He will wish to offset his age with youth. Think of the poorly treated Dan Quayle.
I think Donald will have his 12 year old son call up one of Marco’s sons and invite him to a soccer game in the neighborhood. Marco’s first impluse will be to say (Hell!) no, you can’t go to any ball game with Trump’s son. But then, by that time, Marco would already have run out of money and left the race, so he’ll think it over, and agree.
There has been crossover from the other parties to vote for Don Trump already.
Reminds me of Newt when he said with all assurance: “I will be the nominee” (or next President, whatever it was) way back in early 2012. Well, how’d that turn out for ya, Newt!
Correct, but remember this - He is carrying the gop-e brand but a good many people don’t consider him to actually BE a GOP-e. Sen. Ted, thou a renegade, is considered to be a GOP-e
He has not been on national stage as a maverick for the length of time necessary. When out and about in the individual states, he comes in personal contact with the base and it is then, when speaking to him, the dawn breaks as to how he stands.
Truth is Cruz didn’t say “can’t win”.
Check it out for yourself:

By the way, these top 20 donors are responsible for only about 10% of the money Cruz has raised, mostly from small donors. He has just about the largest small donor proportion of any viable candidate.
What a total crock. You should be ashamed of this vomit.
“I cannot say how many candidates accepted graft...”
You don’t seem to understand; what you call “graft” was strictly legal.
Someone ran the numbers; his contributions to Republicans were slightly more than to democrats.

Of course if Trump doesn't get the nod this point is moot.
Ever heard the term ‘eat it?’ Pray tell me, kind sir....what you have against....Cruz, or might it be Trump? It was thought Valentines were a symbol of love Your symbol was a tad squished and looking more like a heart penetrated by an arrow. Just who are you wishing to take down?
