Ted Cruz Questions Donald Trump's 'Judgment' to Be President (Uh oh)
NY Times ^ | Maggie Haberman and Matt Flegenheimer

Posted on 12/10/2015 7:49:24 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Senator Ted Cruz raised questions on Wednesday at a private fund-raiser about whether Donald J. Trump, his bombastic rival for the Republican presidential nomination, has the "judgment" to be president and mused about "strength," according to two people who attended the event in Manhattan

The remarks from Mr. Cruz came as he has studiously avoided public criticism of Mr. Trump, who is handily beating the rest of the Republican field in opinion polls.

Mr. Cruz has positioned himself to be the beneficiary of any erosion of support for Mr. Trump. While he has said he doesn't agree with Mr. Trump's proposal for a ban on Muslim immigrants entering the United States, he has taken pains to praise Mr. Trump for making immigration a focal point of his candidacy.

But inside a conference room in a Madison Avenue office, with about 70 people pressed around a table, Mr. Cruz gave a candid assessment of the race, lumping Mr. Trump with another candidate whose supporters the Texas senator hopes to poach, Ben Carson, according to two people present for the remarks.

I am getting the impression that you are a fake man of God.

You get serious questions as to your ministry and you avoid them (at least you don't respond).

Are you the Reverend Charles Henderson...or are you like the Reverend Al Sharpton?

What kind of reverend are you?

If Trump had back stabbed Cruz behind closed doors, the Cruz supporters would be very upset, but it seems Saint Cruz can do no wrong.

Evidently some of Cruz supporters didn’t like the backstabbing.

Because Trump can easily beat Hillary and Cruz can't.

Because Trump WILL be able to get Congress to do his bidding and I have grave doubts that Cruz can.

Because whether you like it or not/will acknowledge it or not, at this time Trump is the better choice to be president.

Yes, obviously that IS what you’re suffering from.

But alas, you have to settle for stupid pussy.

I think you're trying to project alpha male toughness over the internet, but since you're a creepy weirdo in a religious cult, you can't even do it appropriately even behind the safety of a computer screen.

Attacking the messenger but avoiding the [factual] message. Ancient being how long? Last month in some cases, apparently. Trump’s former/current (because they cannot be ascertained) positions are not exactly ancient. A few years in most cases. You have redefined the meaning of the word just as you are redefining the meaning of what a conservative candidate is.

Again, I have been and remain civil. Specious, crap, ilk... You certainly are a polished debater, sir.

Good evening.

I listened to the audio. Cruz said he wasn’t comfortable with Trump’s finger on the button. I’ve never heard him say this about Hillary or Obama.

He says he bear hugs Trump & Carson whenever he sees them. Cruz sounds two faced to me.

The media/GOPe is ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE for Cruz and Trump to fight and take each other out of the race.

Cruz was on FOX morning show. He was trying to talk about his policies but all the interviewer asked him was:

"Trump said ____________ ,what do you think?"

Ted said something that tries to bring it back to his policies -The guy cuts him off: "But what do you think about Trump?"

Ted again attempts to talk about his issues. But the reporter would not let it go.

The whole interview was:

"But what about Trump?"
"But what about Trump?"
"But what about Trump?"

They want them (Cruz Trump) to take the bait and destroy each other. Then Jeb can come in- ughhhh.. Don't fall for it guys.
