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 bet that your real name is "HARVEY" and not the "ferocious rabbit" that scare old Jimmy Carter blue.
I have no idea what you are talking about. And my comments here on this thread are of a political nature, speaking as a citizen. What my ministry has to do with that, I don’t know.
Okie01, I don’t disagree with you at all on that point. I read enough of the thoughts on this thread to agree that Cruz probably didn’t do what he was accused of.
It’s a general feeling about him and some of his supporters.
I’m not going to go into details here.
I’ve made my thoughts on Ted pretty clear and no use rehashing them every few hours.
All the best to you...
Obviously, you and I disagree. You think your candidate is the better choice to be president; I think mine is. That’s why we have primaries, to see who the voters of our party prefer to be the nominee. We’ll see how that goes.
Why does he heartily "HUG" Trump and Carson, when he doesn't mean it and is now playing Brutus to Donald's Caesar ?

I do.
And whilst we disagree, yes, we'll soon see what's what.
Is Cruz supposed to endorse Trump?
All this hysteria over nothing plays right into GOPe hands. Here comes Jeb.....
Trump is a symptom, not a cure.
A Public Employee Union endorsement?
Just what Freepers hate.
Right?
No, the GOPE has given up on jebbie...they're backing Rubio now.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ! :-)
You're a big supporter of Public Employee Unions?
I support the police against BLACKLIVESMATTER and the rest of the MARXIST scum !

It is possible that it was a planned “leak” for the ourpose of trying to get Trump to attack first so Ted won’t have to feel bad.
I don’t think an attack by either at this time has any benefit for both.
What's your BLACKLIVESMATTER sign-up date?
Yes, and at this point, no votes have been cast and no delegates have been chosen. It is one thing for a celebrity showman to get people to come to his rallies to hear him say outrageous and entertaining stuff. It is quite another to get them to show up and vote in Republican primaries.
You just don’t “get it”; you poor thing.
