Trump: 'I have far better judgment' than Cruz

Donald Trump says he has "far better judgment" than Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz after recordings revealed the Texas senator questioning the Republican front-runner on that subject.

"I was against going into Iraq," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on "State of the Union." "That's good judgment. I was for bombing (ISIS's) oil long before anyone else was talking about it. That's good judgment. I have great judgment. I would say I have far better judgment than Ted."

Not only does Trump have "great judgment," he also has a bigger heart, and is more competent than his rivals, and let's not forget that he's "a great Christian".

If he had “better judgment”, he wouldn’t make this statement.

[Reagan Disciple]

“I was against Hitler, I was against the Bay of Pigs, I was for low fat potato chips.”

Never mentions how he was for abortion, for higher progressive taxes, for a Canadian-like health care system, for the Clintons.

Ease up on the competency thing. Businessmen are allowed to fail and restart.....it's part of the game. Doesn't make them smarter than anyone else.

I was against Hitler, I was against the Bay of Pigs, I was for low fat potato chips.

I think Trump was also against TPA/TPP, unlimited H1B visas and the Iran deal.

Who has been able to build a billions of dollars empire? Does that require judgment? Trump has dealt with action, not theory. Anyone can run their mouths and make political deals.

If he had “better judgment”, he wouldn’t make this statement.....Judgement has nothing to do with this....in your part of the nation I don't suppose you'd recognize "New York rude" ... the Trump demeanor is admittedly a bit over sized, but his expertise is focused elsewhere showing excellent judgement....

[Reagan Disciple]

Yeah - that's great. Like I said, Trumpeteers never talk about what he was for when he was doling out money to Democrats to get access (which is fine btw, that's what businessmen do). He's not the most principled candidte to ever run like you guys say he is while you're trashing Cruz.

I'm glad he's for/against this stuff now. Makes sense considering he's a Republican........now.

The only indication of “good” judgment lovers of liberty should be concerned about in a Presidential candidate is that judgment which shows that the candidate chooses to understand, recognize, acknowledge, revere, and pledge total fidelity to the original limits and bounds the Constitution of the United States sets on each and every exertion of power by each and every elected or appointed official in government.

[gunsequalfreedom]

He does.

[IMR 4350]

Wasn’t he also for Obama?

Poured money into the Clintons after 9/11 even though he wrote in his book in 2000, when BC was president, OBL should be eliminated before he attacks the US.

[stanne]

Cruz started this. That’s all

[stanne]

Careful there. Wait til you fing out who Cruz’ finders are - if your statement is about relationships that is

[skeeter]

And how he was against Romney’s cruel policy on illegal immigration.

[EinNYC]

Now he’s starting to sound like his friend Michael Savage. Although I learn a lot of valuable information when I tune into The Savage Nation on my way home from work, I am equally appalled at Savage constantly telling his radio audience that he has a great (fill in the blank) -— intellect, judgment, competency, etc. If his constant praise of his audience as being intelligent is really genuine, shouldn’t he leave it to THEM to make that call? I tend to mentally shut down when faced with people who praise themselves to the hilt.

Trump attended the Church of Positive Thinking and doesn't need forgiveness.

Donald Trump on God and Forgiveness

Then he attacks Carson's faith. Did he mention he's a Presbytarian?

Now he claims he's an evangelical and attacking Cruz?

[JohnBrowdie]

he was “against going into iraq” because he was financially invested in saddam hussein, not because he was somehow prescient.

[justlittleoleme]

Guess which one represents Cruz

[demshateGod]

Keep talking Trump.

[Jim from C-Town]

It really doesn't matter that much how pro-life he is. No president pro life or not has done much of anything about abortion. That is except for somehow putting pro-abortion justices on the SCOTUS and Appellate courts.

It is more important as to what he says he will do. Things he has put so much effort behind he can't back out of. Illegal immigration. Border security, decimating ISIS and defending the homeland.

I will vote for Cruz in the Primary, not that Ohio will matter much for the primary it generally doesn't and I doubt we are heading to a brokered convention. This thing will be all but wrapped up before Super Tuesday.

It is probably all over but the crying already. One more terrorist attack in Europe or America and Trump will be over 50% and Cruz will be at 30% and the rest will be gone or at least below 2%

[JoSixChip]

while you're trashing Cruz

Why would you say that? I was talking about Trump in that post, I never mentioned Cruz.
