And they have the nerve to claim that Donald Trump is helping Hillary.
from article:
He went on: “Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them.â€
Don’t think that won’t make great ads against Trump.
NY Times trying to stir the pot. No news here.
Sound dubious to me.
If it is in relation to Trump's plan to temporarily halt all Islamic entry into the US...let's put that one to rest.
What is the truth of the matter? Is Trump's proposal illegal? Is his proposal un-Constitutional? Is his proposal un-American?
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This is in the U.S. Code of Laws. It was passed by Congress in 1952 and has been the law of the land ever since. And, by the way, at the time it was passed by a Democratic Congress.
So, to be clear, if the President determines that murders/killers/enemies are infiltrating any group of people to do harm to America, he has been given the power by Congress to stop or restrict that groups immigration or non-immigration status and ability to come into the country. This is precisely what Trump has proposed…and for obvious reasons.
It is NOT un-American, it is U.S. Law.
It is NOT un-Constitutional, Article 6 Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution regarding no religious test refers specifically and only to the election of Congress...not to immigration.
As President, Donald Trump would have full legal authority under U.S. Law to do exactly what he has proposed.
All of the hype, outrage, and statements to the contrary are either political grandstanding, abject ignorance of the law, or willful lies regarding the issue.
This is the NYT’s feeble attempt to get the only candidate, who didn’t speak up against Trump for the muzzie comments, sound like he’s against Trump. Again, feeble attempt! Like someone else said, hearsay.
Well it is New York Times. Hope it’s wrong for all our sakes.
Even if Senator Cruz said it just that way, it makes no difference. Sooner or later the front runners will have to define the differences between them.
I do believe when the times comes, it will not be school yard ugly.
Cruz answering question from reporter on this issue after his live Heritage speech right now-
Paraphrased response
“We had frank discussions about threats in the region...talked about immediate developments, Iran, Syria, radical Islamic terror...The course of a Presidential election voters will make a decision, who has the right judgement...everyone of us is being assessed by that metric”
Just answered question sideways - said elections always come down to questions of judgement. Would not talk about events at private fundraiser.
I heard from a reliable source that New York Times staffers were criticizing Hillary for advocating for muslims at a drunken event they were attending in Pittsburg. They refused to identify themselves because none of them were wearing clothing at the time.
First, some Trump folks thought by adding "Cruz" to "Trump" they were avoiding heat and hostility from the Trump haters.
Second, the "dream team" idea that Trump would pick Cruz as his veep, or that Cruz would accept the useless, ceremonial, funeral-attending role of vice-president shows a lack of "real-politiks" understanding.
You can make book that Trump already has a fascinating, capable, well-known conservative in mind for his running mate...maybe even a true patriot from the high echelon of the retired military, who knows....but it definitely won't be the lackluster Cruz who has little to no charisma and who has remained mired in low-echelon ratings since the beginning.

Say it ain’t so. Don’t do it Ted. I don’t want a war breaking out between the two best candidates. Trump has already said he has things to attack Cruz with, but Cruz has to hit him first. I hope he doesn’t see this as a “hit.”
I like some of the things that Trump says, but I can’t get past how he said his favorite president was Bill Clinton. Am I taking that out of context?? Or did he really mean it?
How many jobs did this lawyer create? He has worked for the govt all his life (Cruz has). I am kind of sick and tired of conservatives who worked their whole adult lives in govt positions talking like they are outsiders.
It sounds like Cruz is making the first move but the game is inevitable.
It's silly to blame the NYT for reporting on what everyone knew was coming.
Cruz is a politician who smells blood. Washington hasn’t produced anything else in a long, long time. Cruz wouldn’t be where he is without Trump. But the winds of war have shifted and he’s going to take full advantage while maintaining just enough cover. I, for one, am sick to death of watching politicians dance.
Progressives are desperate.
The smell of their fear is like perfume to me.
This is turning out to be the funnest election cycle since 1980.
Two unnamed sources. Slimes hit piece.
Trump is incapable of admitting he’s wrong, has only an intermittent connection between his brain and his mouth, and does not take criticism at all. We’ve had 7 years of a person like that in the White House and see where it’s gotten us.
