Ted Cruz slams NBC for cutting ties with 'terrific' Donald Trump
Business Insider ^ | June 30th, 2015 | By Colin Campbell

Posted on 06/30/2015 8:50:00 AM PDT by Mariner

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) thinks NBC was wrong to cut off its business relationship with real-estate mogul and television personality Donald Trump.

"When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. I think he's terrific. I think he's brash. I think he speaks the truth," Cruz said Tuesday morning on Fox & Friends.

Trump, like Cruz, is campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.

The day before, NBC said it was dumping Trump because of controversial comments the candidate made about Mexican immigrants. During his campaign announcement, Trump accused Mexico of sending its rapists and drug dealers to America.

Lord help me, but I cannot emphasize how much rancor I have in my heart for what he would be as President.

I’m sure that he and his Rovian GOP ghouls think they can capitalize on the historic repudiation of Obama last election and parlay that into a win for the establishment business and CoC and all that it entails. But I’ll be damned if I don’t go down fighting. I am not going to settle for second most evil, I am not going to settle for giving away my country’s sovereignty to a bunch of third world illegals, and I am not going to give my grand daughters’ futures away to some Mexican-speaking peckerwood.

“Au contraire. Trump is vocally taking it to Dem positions, especially illegal immigration, and he’s getting tons of free publicity. We need all the Trumps we can get.

And BTW, Cruz is pure class. So far, he has supported many of these guys, while few have reciprocated.”

Very well said, LS, I fully agree with you.

I do agree with you that our primary goal has to be to take down Jeb.

I love what Trump did. He said he'd not be as harsh with Jeb, because he's a nice man, and Trump's wife told him to dial it back in campaigning against Jeb. That's equivalent to "you're fired" on Celebrity Apprentice, in effect saying Jeb can't take the heat when the big guys get serious.

If you really listen to Trump, he's funny and clever. If you go along with him, it's a win-win. But if you don't, he's often put the opposition in an indefensible position.

Look at NBC. They went too far, basing programming decisions on openly stated biased subjective political viewpoints. How does NBC recover their integrity from that?

Love Trump or hate him, he's moved the game up quite a few notchers.

And leaving those who can't take it out of the loop.

I can agree with moving the bar against Jeb. In any way possible.

"and I am not going to give my grand daughters’ futures away to some Mexican-speaking peckerwood."

Soon the only White People will be in the outer reaches of mountains and deserts.

For instance, the Sacramento City School District, 4t5h largest in the state, is EIGHTY (Yes, 80%) percent non-white.

You think those folks are going to pay your Social Security and Healthcare?

Do you think I’m concerned about my social security check? or my healthcare?

I’ve lived what I want to live. I only think now about how my girls’ lives will be.

High class and smart Ted. Would not surprise me if Cruz and Trump have an unspoken agreement to work in tandem to get rid of Bush and Walker. Ted Cruz is one of the few GOP candidates that Trump has not made any disparaging remarks about.

“I don’t understand how NBC can show such a preference against Trump’s political views when they’re supposed to at least pretend to be objective. Maybe this combination can push back against media manipulation of the political process.”

Well, maybe next time they’ll bring in their top NBC spokesman ‘Brian Williams’ to make the argument.

I have yet to decide if having more voices attack the left is good or bad. It does tend to dilute the message so that no attack message gets out. That said, Trump so far is one of the few actually speaking the truth about the illegal situation.

During the breaks on our local radio station today, Newsmax had an ad for tonight mentioning that Trump was going after Tokyo Rove.

That should be funny.
