Clift: Cruz ‘Makes Trump Look Like a Raving Liberal,’ ‘Most Dems’ Would Prefer Trump Over Cruz
Breitbart ^ | April 16, 2016 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 04/16/2016 1:25:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Daily Beast’s Eleanor Clift argued that Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “makes Donald Trump look like a raving liberal” and “most Democrats would look at the two of them, and would prefer Trump over Cruz” on Friday’s “McLaughlin Group.”

Clift said, “We’ve paid so little attention to what Cruz actually stands for, and when — the attention I’ve paid is — I get pretty scared, actually. He makes Donald Trump look like a raving liberal, actually.”

When asked who should we would vote for between the two candidates if she had to pick, Clift responded that she made herself clear, and didn’t have to, or want to repeat her preference.”(continued)

-Cite 3 things that he’s DONE in his life, prior to running for President, that shows he’s got sincerely held conservative beliefs.
-Where are the conservative foundations he’s set up with his billions.
-Where did he use his billions or the media that he is such a “master” of to fight the system that “forced” him to donate to all those liberal causes and politicians.

Or when you fail at that you could just admit that there are none and you don’t care, you just want him to stick a shiv in the GOP even if it means the whole damn republic is gonna fall around our ears...as long as your spite is satisfied.

Gay? Cruz had to promise something to get all that money from them...

And ask yourself why they gave him so much money for so long?

In Big Business you bribe the politicians ... blah blah blah excuses ...

People also donate to liberals because they wish to support them. I find it interesting that people will trash one Republican for having any tangential connection to a liberal yet excuse another one that actually donated to MANY liberals. Hypocrites.

A lot of us have been saying from the beginning that Trump and Sanders are pretty much identical on the issues.

However the Talking point the Globalists push on donations is ineffective because the amounts make clear Trump gave way more to GOP than Dems and as Real estate developer in NY its normal business to buy favors from crooked Dems.

So another GOPe/Cruz lie put to bed by facts.

As I understand it, Trump gave money to Cruz also. Is he also socialist scum?

Sorry. Giving money to a Republican does not fix the fact Trump gave money to socialists like Hillary and Pelosi.

Thank you for finally attempting to answer the question. But I never said the man was a greedy miser who did no good deeds. I asked for any things he’s ever done to advance conservatism. I concede I did not check every one of those links, but I did check several that I’d never heard of and they, while apparently admirable to support, give no evidence of his doing anything to advance conservative principles. I’m sure in most/all cases I could find plenty of other liberals who supported them too.

I am a conservative and live my life by conservative principles. As a conservative, I believe only conservative principles has any chance of pulling us back from the brink. I, wrongly apparently, thought most FReepers believed the same. Sadly, it appears that most FReepers are far more interested in exacting their pound of flesh from the GOP (who I also despise). Here, now, where the rubber meets the road, when we can put up or shut up about whether we TRULY believe what we’ve said we believe, many are choosing the shiny bauble who SAYS what we want to hear despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.

Let me try to put it another way. I’m sure you would concede that trump has been, just in the last decade, all over the map regarding the second amendment. I’d hope you would concede that that would cast serious doubt about the strength of the conviction therein (if it’s changed once for no apparent reason, why wouldn’t it change again...he can’t point to a reason for the change of heart...I’ve looked). So...what do you suppose is going to happen the next time there’s significant outcry from the public she another sandy hook happens...and sadly, it will? He has no conservative principles to fall back on to stiffen his spine in the face of the outcry, because he doesn’t really believe it. He will bend and bow to the public pressure.

Truly, if elected, Donald trump will preside over the final chapter of a free America.
(Side note...and intended in all FRiendship...you should skip the pictures, many of them make you look like a smarmy jackass).

Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks 2-22-16 Elko NV.
https://youtu.be/1IqfRbjcpDY

It’s a Q and A. Don Jr is more articulate than most candidates in the race! Talks fast, not in a patronizing way and not like he’s lecturing. Lots about government waste, small government, “the left”, the constitution, the second amendment.

“I’m probably the only billionaire’s son more comfortable in a D-10 Cat than a golf cart.”

He personally reloads 100 different calibers. Don Jr is part of the full court press from Trump. Very impressive.
