Trump will get eaten alive in the debates and I think he knows it.
I agree. I have to think that Trump likes Cruz and really meant that for the others Walker, Bush, Rubio etc.
Like I said on the other thread, this election is now about who can raise the most money to keep up with the billionaire Trump.
He set the bar, so he shouldn’t call all of them puppets.
I can picture Ted Cruz laying down the line in the meeting. “If I’m with you, I’m with you. If I’m not with you, I’m not with you and I’m not going to lie to you.”
Misleading headline!
He didn’t say they were puppets, he asked if they were.
Bogus headline. Trump didn’t say anything about Cruz and he didn’t say the others were puppets. He asks the question nobody wants to ask.
I don’t know why you would say that. Trump is simply following basic marketing philosophies. When your product has an asset that your competitors do not have, you bang the drum about it as much as you can. If they can NEVER achieve what you have, as is the case here, you do it even louder. Trump can self-fund and his competitors cannot, thus he’s going to call them all out on it whenever he can in order to promote himself.
Ted Cruz is a big boy. He can handle it.
You Trump and Cruz supporters are really stupid.
If you do not think Trump will not attack Cruz if he is a threat, then you are fooling yourselves.
Likewise, if Cruz has an opportunity to take the lead in the polls over Trump by attacking him, he will.
These are politicians, not friends.
Referencing an obvious truth is now a Harry Reid tactic ?
Does anyone really think the Kochs and cohorts give over $1bil each cycle and ask for nothing in return?
If so, please make you case.
Trump speaks the Truth!
Trump is an arrogant ass who will get his clock cleaned in the debates.
Trump is an egotistical fool.
You think Obama bristles and gets angry at the smallest sleights? Trump is worse.
The fact that Trump is running, does expose at the least, the system and that is of politicians serving to an extent, special interests. That may not always be a bad thing.
Trump could NOT say “4 out of 5 who went to beg Koch’s for money are puppets”. So, Cruz just got lumped in with the others. Trump and Cruz have not fired at each other, yet. Which is all good.
Trump is behaving like a child. He lashes out indiscriminately and says some pretty bizarre things. Personally, I like Carly, but it looks like she won’t even be in the debates. No doubt the Dems will seize on that and say it’s because she is a woman.
The Koch Brothers support amnesty, homo marriage, and abortion. They are not even libertarian! The Left hates them simply because they don’t donate to them.
Does everyone really think he's willing to spend a billion of his own cash, or more, to fund his run? I don't believe it. He can stay above the fray for now, and act superior to those who need OPM, but at some point he will need/want to raise money. JMHO, of course.
This would be the Koch event that Trump’s representatives asked that he be included in but were turned down?
The Koch Brothers are POISON. Pro-gay marriage, pro-amnesty, pro-drug legalization, pro-TPP treaty. They give MILLIONS to La Raza groups and radical homos. Trump is RIGHT.
He’s mad because the Koch Bros. rejected him. He asked them to share their data and allow him to speak to the activists who attend. It was snobby, loser GOP nonsense to exclude him.
