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)

Didn’t see your last until after my long reply. Sorry. But to your link....all of those are things he SAYS he’s gonna do now that he’s running. I agree, all of that would be great! But nothing in his life says that he’s being truthful. It’s why I asked what has he DONE. I believe in judging people by their actions.

The election, every election, Clift cares about one thing only and that's which Republican will be easiest for the Democrat candidate to defeat.

The really good news is, today is Saturday.
The last phony push polls will be out Sunday, or early Monday.
Then the Cruz campaign gets to visit the New York Madame Guillotine.

We only have to endure two more days of the push polls and Cruz’s adoring Jock Sniffers.
They will still strut and preen about their “constitutional conservative” but the numbers won’t lie, like Ted has... and he has about 6 weeks of pure devastation to go through with no chance even to win effectively again anywhere worth crying about, until California, where his campaign, will very likely receive that coveted “Coupe-De-Gras” award by the intelligentsia of the GOP e, who have lied to and blackmailed him to press on via the guaranteed losing path.

Two more days, and we will have a new cudgel to temper their troubled souls, into a more peaceful season. Right now we are seeing the grieving process play out. Processing the Event, Anger-Shock, Denial, Blaming, Bargaining, Processing the Loss, and finally Acquiescence - Acceptance.

We see many of them moving from Processing the Event, to Denial, to Blaming, and some are as far as Bargaining... Tuesday night should move some of them to the next step.

One thing I expect is this “If Donald does not get 100 percent of the Delegates, then TED really won in principle” statements. Those who are stuck in Denial of what really happened in Colorado—the death knell of the Tedster campaign by self inflicted hubris.

To cite Reagan - There you go again. Funny how so many "flaming liberals" might vote for Trump where they'd never vote for Cruz and people still try to claim that Cruz has a much better chance to beat Hillary.

Cruz's base started very narrow and has been further attenuated. The only folks eager to vote for him are working off pure idealism without a glance at reality. They will never get their chance - even if he does manage to stop trump - his continuing battle has scarred both but left him really tainted in a lot of his former base's eyes.

Yeah, what Trump ‘says’ he’s going to do is, IMO, merely empty campaign promises made to garner votes and support (the usual). When you consider who and what he was supporting as recently as 2010, and the fact that up until that magic year of 2012 he was and had been a life-long NY liberal, all of those ‘campaign promises’ don’t mean diddly squat. My logic tells me that he’s still a liberal (they don’t change their spots that easily if at all) and liberals lie.

You didn’t answer the question either. What liberal views?

You mention the lack of conservative foundations. WTH. What does that have to do with anything? What conservative foundations have GWB or McCain or Romney set up. Or Rush? Any?

He’s contributed more overall to Republicans than Democrats.

Where are the conservative foundations fighting the GOP Establishment?

Compared to Cruz Trump is a raving liberal.

The foundations question comes from asking this question 700 times and being told he wasn’t a politician or he had to give money to liberals because that’s “just how things are done if you’re a business man”. It’s the search for something, anything other than the bloviating spittle that comes from his pie hole as concrete evidence that he’s not a butt screaming liberal hack like his entire life history would suggest.
