Here’s ethanol in your martini.

But what does Mark Styne have to say? :-)

Lying Rush conveniently forgot to mention Cruz insinuating Trump was unstable and could use nukes. Cruz was being a two-faced rat, and needs to be b**** slapped.

Maybe Cruz is right. Maybe Rush is right.

Trump is starting to sound more liberalish, saying things that sound McCain/McConnell-like. I’m getting concerned.

So what if Cruz “attacks” first, and it was hardly an attack. Trumps backlash was a bit...unhinged.

Clearly, Rush is on board with the GOPe in trying to nominate a liberal. /s

Rush never said Cruz was off limits and that Trump shouldn't have attacked him. Rush was arguing that attacking Cruz from the left with ethanol subsidies and the argument of not getting along with the establishment was the wrong strategy for Trump if he wants to run as a conservative.

Cruz was being a two-faced rat, and needs to be b**** slapped.

Goodness this place is becoming DU.

Im not sure there is such a thing as an unfettered candidate around these days.. Not one the media won’t pick apart eventually anyway.

Does Stassen have any grandkids still around?

First time I ever heard Rush, the fish were biting..

Now it’s the media.

Ya, I thought that was pretty obvious to.

He said behind this behind his back, as devious little rats tend to do.

Try again, just got out of the hospital, kind of out of it. He was reported, by more than one person, that Cruz said this in that closed Rino meeting.

In one weekend Trump disses Scalia, swallowing the media meme hook line and sinker, supports the liar and GOPe hack McConnell against Cruz, and supports subsidies for ethanol.

This outsider sounds like Boehner, Ryan and McConnell.

Actually, Rush did say that Cruz started it off.

What Rush was criticizing Trump for was his attack on Cruz for going after the establishment. Rush stated that was the reason why Trump was doing so well in the polls because Donald was doing that very same thing, ( taking on the establishment). Then all of a sudden, Trump turns around and sounds like a democrat or RINO.

Rush stated he did not know what to make of that, and that was raising alarm bells. He wasn't attacking Trump but making an observation.

The New York city democrat that Trump had been hiding inside popped out, as he became obsessed with the poll numbers that came out for Cruz.

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

“Both of them I like and respect,” said Mr. Cruz, according to an audio recording of his comments provided by one attendee. “I don’t believe either one of them is going to be our president.”

But he added, “You look at Paris, you look at San Bernardino, it’s given a seriousness to this race, that people are looking for: Who is prepared to be a commander in chief? Who understands the threats we face?”

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.”

On the audio, after he described the “challenging question” facing Mr. Trump and Mr. Carson, Mr. Cruz went on to explain: “So my approach, much to the frustration of the media, has been to bear hug both of them, and smother them with love.”

He added: “People run as who they are. I believe gravity will bring both of those campaigns down” and “the lion’s share of their supporters come to us.”

Cruz almost certainly got caught in a set-up by the RINOs.

Trump let himself be setup by the media cartel to attack Cruz.

Getting Trump and Cruz to fight each other is the Uniparties wet dream.

Speaking of alarm bells...

How close was Donald trump to the mob

Got to wonder if this is just waiting in Hillary's arsenal.

Lying Rush, huh?

My goodness. Some people around here are asleep at the wheel.

Trump’s comments should be setting off alarm bells for all conservatives, but when the angry mob has gathered - and it most definitely has (& I may join it) - normally right-thinking people lose sense of what is good and proper.

Go Cruz Go! Go Trump Go!

Reads like a Rush endorsement for Cruz.

Ref Scalia’s remarks: Trump should come out and say “I should have known better than to take the media’s word for it. They constantly lie about things I say so I shouldn’t be surprised that they lied about something Scalia said.”
