Ted Cruz Just Unloaded on Donald Trump
Red State ^ | January 1, 2016 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 01/12/2016 1:07:36 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

It appears that the bromance between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump is probably over for good. I mean, it was one thing to see Donald Trump openly attacking Cruz for days on end. We've seen that before, and never before had Cruz taken the bait. It appears that this method of dealing with Trump has finally reached its end in the Cruz campaign.

(CRUZ): >>>I will say that it's more than a little strange to see Donald relying on as authoritative a liberal, left-wing, judicial activist Harvard Law professor who is a huge Hillary supporter (Ed. note - Laurence Tribe). It starts to make you think, "Gosh, why are some of Hillary's strongest supporters backing Trump?" You know, the last couple of elections the Democrats have gotten the nominee they wanted to run against in the general election. It seems the Hillary folks are very eager to support Donald Trump and the attacks that are being tossed my direction.<<<

Welcome to the party, Ted Cruz. Better late than never to call Trump what he is.

I, for one, am glad that the prominent conservative personalities who have been pretending Trump is a conservative and talking about him positively to bolster their ratings, will finally have to choose between their wallet and their ideology (and credibility) in this battle between Trump and Cruz. It's been a long time coming.

Here is the $116,000 in context, from the paragraph above:

Trump s donations to various political action committees and 527 groups also demonstrate his bipartisan checkbook.

During the most recent election cycle, Trump contributed $170,000 to the Republican Governor s Association, $50,000 to the ultra-conservative American Crossroads PAC, $30,400 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and $10,000 to the Democratic Party of New York.

However, of the nearly $420,000 Trump has donated to committees, the largest recipient has been the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee with $116,000 — or more than one fourth of his total contributions to all party and political action committees.

So at least $250,000 went to the Republicans, which is more than twice the amount given to Democrats.

Really? I haven’t been on Facebook today but I love Breitbart. They post good stuff every day. What did they do wrong?

Did you listen to Rush today, he said that the media is praising Trump like they did when McCain ran

I see you got a load of horseobama there, C.

There's got to be a pony in there somewhere...

Neil Cavuto just played a tape of Trump saying that Tribe (after giving him accolades) questioned Cruz’s eligibility.

So the net result is....

Hint: +4% (that’s a nice margin that would swing an election)

New Hampshire I guess?

Also can Trump and Cruz people take a step back for a second and THINK about what’s going on... Trump and Cruz are going to nuke each other giving Rubio a clear path to the nomination... Mark my words this will happen and BOTH GROUPS will be heart broken.

you post: ‘ Trump - an extension of the Hillary campaign, and vice versa{”

Can you IMAGINE what all these Freeper Trumpeters would be saying if this photo had Ted and his wife in it instead of the profiteer? (and I’d bet there’s not ONE Trumpeteer here honest enough, even with themselves, to admit they’d be crucifying Cruz...

“We need to be done with the charlatan so a solid conservative like Cruz can lead this country back to where it should be.”

I will grant you that Cruz is probably the most conservative, but there’s no way Cruz would ever get elected.You need blacks, hispanics and, yes, independents and democrats to get elected.

Anyone reading your post history can see you’re a raving fool.

Says the raving loony who called me an anti-semite a few days ago because I called a Ted Cruz supporter-- who literally is a member of the Hebrew Roots religious cult-- a cult member for denying the Trinity and enforcing dietary laws on Christians.

I noticed you haven't repeated the charge lately, so you must have realized later, despite your incredible stupidity, how off putting your posts were.

And... should DT win the nomination, you damn straight I’d pull the lever for him. With gusto.
*****************************************************************************
Well, I’d do the same thing (vote for Trump)...but I sure wouldn’t pull the lever “with gusto”. I’d pull the lever with apprehension wondering what the hell we’ll be getting with our votes. And Limbaugh was right today, a number of folks in the Left and in the mainstream media are beginning to give Trump the “McCain treatment”-—which is NOT a good sign.

There was an article here on FR earlier. In 11 he was interviewed and stated Trump was no conservative and basically an entertainer. You can guess the result.

Under teH bus he went.

but he has no record whatsoever, only his words

34,000 jobs attributable to Trump, 22,400 employees and $9.5 billion in revenue last tells me that, as an executive, Trump knows what he's doing.

I won't post my concerns about Cruz because I don't want to appear to be bashing nor start a further argument.

ACTUALLY, I was wondering if Trump was trying to force the hand of Cruz ..?? When you’re a forceful person, you certainly don’t want to take as a partner, a person who is not willing to stand up and call a spade a spade.

It’s just interesting to me .. because I wondered if Trump was worried about Cruz not really getting upset about Trump’s onslaught of comments re Cruz’s birth ..??

Historically Trump has been far more “liberal” on the immigration issue than has Cruz. But we’ll leave that discussion for another time.

As far as eligibility....The vast majority of Constitutional scholars would disagree with tour assessment as well as 100 years of the accepted definition for “Natural Born”. By the same logic being used by the minority Anyone born outside the US would be ineligible including anyone born abroad say on vacation or on a weekend in Tijuana. It’s really silly.

Shoe fit. You were the guy calling anti trinitarians cultists. And Jews do not believe in Jesus. People can do the math.
