Why Cruz Decided To Take On Trump
politico.com ^ | January 13

Posted on 01/13/2016 11:39:17 PM PST by Helicondelta

For months, Ted Cruz has laughed off Donald Trump's barbs, berated reporters who mentioned him and gone to near-comic lengths to publicly express enthusiasm for the real estate mogul's rival candidacy.

Cruz isn't laughing anymore.

I’m Not your mate. Your language shows your idiocy. READ the Constitution instead of taking some so-called expert’s word for what it says. Stupidity breeds stupidity, watered and fed by more stupidity. I am sick and tired of people placing their votes by who wears what label. What ever happened to evaluating candidates on their ability to do the job. Evidently it went our of fashion when liberals took over and brainwashed people into thinking everyone had to be such and such to be acceptable. I think for myself, not allowing anyone to think for me. Try it sometime, you just might like it.

The biggest fraud is the ineligible Cruz. He is no conservative, just another pawn in the cheap labor express.

It is. Do your part please and honor Reagan’s 11th.

I am. I challenge you to find a single post by me attacking Cruz. Not 1. My guy is Trump, but I am above attacking another one of the good guys. Your side has rabidly attacked Trump. Again I say, shame on you guys. You piss on Reagan’s grave. Shame!

So now Trump’s suitability for the presidency is all about Melania? My oh my, jealous much? You overblown self righteous purists don’t care who can get the job done of straightening out the economy of this country and preventing the New World Order takeover. I’m beginning to think you are part of the plot to put the wimps in charge AGAIN, so the United Nations can rule the world...unelected! AGENDA 21 in full marching order, let’s be “kind” to everyone but especially the ones destroying America. Labels don’t get the job done. People with brains do. Trump has PROVEN skill sets. All the others except Carson are just more more of the same, LIFETIME POLITICIANS sucking on the public teat.

You don’t understand? It’s politics. What did you think, this was yoga class? Come on.

Whatever alliance there was between Rafael and Trump, is probably way over. This is how it works. And I am not the cause of this. I’m just another brick in the wall like you.

He shouldn't have poked the bear.

Wrong. It's time somebody "poked the bear".

Well I'm sure Trump expects more attacks. It's been happening non-stop 24/7 since 6/15/2015 by all the right enemies. Right?

If trump would just argue the issues and not play grade school games of pointing fingers then claiming he didn’t do it, he would be getting more support from the real conservatives.

If trump would quit backing up on most of his policy claims he would get more support from true conservatives.

If trump talked like an educated adult instead of a 4th grader he would get more support for us conservatives.

If trump had a true history of conservatism he would get more support from us conservatives.

If trump had a, shall we say less clammy, business history he would be taken more seriously.

Until then I cannot take a carnival barker as a serious candidate for a conservative president this country desperately needs.

You’re right on every point. Add that Trump is an AMERICAN patriot.

Your screen name should be GravePisser, and not the name of the bully in back to the future. You are a bully, but pissing on Reagan’s grave “Trumps” that IMHO.

You all are the ones shouting that Cruz is a snow white conservative. His voting record does NOT sustain your claims. I don’t judge Trump by labels , I judge him by his ability to do the job that this country needs right now in order to survive the attacks to drive us to ruin. Trump knows how to cut waste and fraud. Trump knows how to force trade to be fair to America. Trump knows who is giving away the country and how to stop it. The politicians are all a part of the New World Order and Cruz’s wife has furthered that objective bigtime! I’ll take a beautiful, accomplished, great mother, onetime model anyday of the week for first lady over a politicians wife subservient to Goldman Sachs who is driven by greed!

Partisan? Yes, I am pro Trump! I am not in favor of someone who doesn’t believe in America’s sovereignty and his votes verify my statement. Cruz is with the One World Order people that his wife is subservient to and supports! Besides, Cruz is not eligible. Either you believe in the constitution as written, or you believe in destroying it. One or the other. Trump has clearly stated for years, that he wants to bring America back “into the Constitution,” he is not against it like the pols are.

Then there are Cruz's backers who, obviously, have all received marching orders lately to spam the interwebs with their hate.

Posting at all hours does tend to make one a little giddy and silly. Get your sleep before that happens again.

Fact is that on this board, Trump's support is starting to erode. Several posts yesterday from Trump supporters or on the fence types who proclaimed they were Done with Donald.

He hasn't proven anything in the political world except that he buys politicians, brags about it, uses these connections to get even richer, and is utterly cynical about public life. As for his third wife, her being a nude model is just another part of the Trump family biography. They're like Madonna. They're like other people unconstrained by modesty and the desire to live a life of virtue.

When I point things out about these effete, elites, like Trump and his pals the Clintons, I don't do it out of jealousy. I think their behavior shows the vulgar and uncouth type of person he and they are, like when Trump talks about how sexy his daughter is. That's strange for a father, at least in my life experiences. To me, Trump proves wealth doesn't have anything to do with class. If these types of facts about him seem like normal male behavior to you, normal behavior for a father and husband, I can only say that they don't to me. And for the right amount of money, by the way, Trump would be keen to cut a deal with the New World Order.

You probably think everyone should just accept the claptrap that comes out of Trumps mouth,

Claptrap??? I'll counter that he is very capable of saying exactly what he means to say.

"Well, I heard it's a big thing. I know nothing about it. But I hear it's a very big thing," Trump said

Trump isn’t instinctively conservative. But he is instinctively pro American.
..........................................................
Absolutely! He is also pragmatic which is a word the Cruz people don’t understand. Cruz doesn’t either.

Cruz was a conservative when Trump was partying with the Clintons, making large donations to them, saying Hillary’d make a great president, and excusing Bill Clinton’s perjury, obstruction of justice, and sexual harassment as “unimportant.” You cannot find a bigger fraud pretending to be a conservative than Trump, the reality TV Star, former WWF wrestling clown, man who makes crude sexual remarks about his own daughter.

I think you need to limit how much of the communion wine you're drinking.
