This is second hand information, so we’ll have to wait to see if the story changes.

We need a president like Trump who isn’t afraid to shoot from the hip and pop off with weird thoughts.

[circlecity]

This smells to me like the Times is trying to manufacture a wedge between Cruz and Trump. “Hey, why don’t you and him fight it out”

[kjam22]

I hope Cruz is careful here....

[Sacajaweau]

I’m going to wait before I say anything.....cuz I don’t trust the media. Really? Can’t imagine why!

[Wilderness Conservative]

“at a private fund-raiser” = non story.

[VinL]

No, he didn’t.

But, if Cruz ultimately does, that would be his focus.

NYT has the inside scoop ! /s

FUNYT

When asked about the comments on Thursday, a spokesman for Mr. Cruz’s campaign, Rick Tyler, said: “Judgment is a question for all candidates for president of the United States. That is the point Cruz was making.”

Totally fair.

[Servant of the Cross]

I question Maggie Haberman and Matt Flegenheimer and the "OLD gray lady" (nyt). They desire a Cruz/Trump collision and will foment it even if it's not there.

[pgkdan]

I hope this isn’t true. If so, bad move Ted.

[deport]

has the “judgment” to be president and mused about “strength,”

Let the cat fight begin..........

[House Atreides]

BULLCRAP — Cruz did not do what the headline suggests...read the article. The New York Slimes is simply trying to stir up a Cruz-Trump battle or battles between Cruz supporters and Trump supporters. I think that both candidates and MOST (but, unfortunately, not all) supporters of the two candidates will not be stupid enough to fall for the NY Slimes’ deceit.

[4rcane]

er. Cruz is running to become president. Of course he think he has better judgment than Trump to be president. What do you expect him to say? That Trump does, but vote for me?

[Responsibility2nd]

This is fine. Ted needs to quit hiding in the shadows of the Donald.

Not to say that Ted has to criticize and blast Trump. But it’s time Cruz stood on his own and separate himself from Trump.

[Lazamataz]

This comes from the NYLies. Therefore, I need sources and proof.

Otherwise, it's just more made-up s**t by the NYT.

[Batman11]

Consider the source.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Does anyone read or trust what the N.Y. Times reports?

[tennmountainman]

This is where I part ways with Cruz.

I liked them both, Trump and Cruz.
For different reasons.

No doubt Cruz is a true conservative and great man.

However, I have come to the conclusion that only Trumps skill set can
change this country.

I think Ted senses (like everyone else did before him) that it’s slipping away. We’re now 50 days out, and in most polls he’s 20 points behind. In normal politics, that’s just insurmountable.
