If you have to post a video from 1999 of a guy people already know has shifted his position over the years, then you are going to end up with a bunch of “no kidding, Sherlock”.

When Trump can then show that stuff about the gay billionaires and the fundraiser last year, and have the same people say “What the hell is this about”? On top of that they are going to start asking Cruz what he will do to turn back gay marriage edicts, and he will have to then take a stance that is sure to disappoint as he has stated it isn’t one of his top priorities.

Then it’s still the advantage to Trump.

Trump has a good look at what America is now and where it must go.

But you are not listening. Let me shout it even louder. Trump is not a conservative. Get it?! /s/

Poor Cruz...he’s going down just like Jeb and all the rest...

...needs to address Goldman Sachs and Citibanks loans and his meeting with the two guys in New York (on tape)...

LIVE BY THE LAWS THAT AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON

GO.TRUMP.GO

Nothing says NYC values like Goldman Sachs. And no candidate is wedded to Goldman Sachs like Ted Cruz.

What a fraud.

Trump is a PRO American populist. Some if his positions are liberal but the ones I like are his positions on the economy, immigration(wall) and trade. The Whig Party has left me no other choice for Pres.

You’re not convincing me, or most of Trump’s supporters. Despite his faults, he is the only one out there who will take the fight to Clinton using her own tactics. If it wasn’t for Trump none of the others would have even brought up illegal immigration, and most would have avoided even saying “Islamic terrorism.”

Cruz, Cruz, Cruz.

Don’t take the bait please.

Trump never presented himself as a conservative. Trump offered to make a deal.

Your argument should attempt to show that Donald’s deal dynamic will still prove insufficient to get his agenda within the realm of what most of America wants, which is de facto conservative.

Of course then you should allow Trump to make a fair counter, especially if the point is not to personally win at any cost, but to bring America back to a winning stature.

Ah, based on on the incoherence of his tweets and how much they read like his ADHD stream of consciousness “speeches”, I think he, and only he tweets from his account.

Plus he is too arrogant to let anyone else do it for him.

“The Trump supports going after Cruz over a clerical error for 1-2 personal loans, that he paid off, have no right to whine when Cruz goes after Trump for his past donations and policy positions which are based on Trumps own words.”

The problem for Cruz is that Trump socks with the other hand 5 times harder. The “whine” is the distraction.

Having mastered Twitter and other quick media, he sets the pace fast. Cruz saves his complaints for local newspapers and sympathetic AM radio. They dont get picked up by many, and they fade into the ether.

No no no no no! Listen to me. Cruz is the true conservative here. There is no other choice. Cruz. Go Cruz. /s/

I actually like Cruz very much, but the Crudites are doing a wonderful job of taking him down. I hope his reputation can survive his followers. We need him.

And unlike Trump did not run straight into the dirt like Trump did with the “Trump Shuttle.”

Cruz calls trump a fake Conservative?? Wow; Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Here we have Cruz slamming Wall Street while he takes money from Goldman Sachs and Citibank while his wife works for Goldman Sachs. That is what we used to call Hutzpah. He has to be the most arrogant and hypocritical candidate I can think of other than Hillary. I am glad he has finally been exposed as the fraud he is.

Cruz is preaching in a church in South Carolina, but holding fundraising events in the apartment of New York City gays.

Can someone explain that to me? I doubt Ben Carson would do that, or Rick Santorum, or even Chuckle Huck.

Trump is no conservative, fake or real. Trump is Deblasio II.

Crudites?

That’s a term for sliced raw vegetables, as for a party plate. Has Veggie Tales entered the picture?

Bingo! Trump’s constant tweets shows what a thin skinned jerk he is. He dishes it out but squeals like a pig when anyone says anything negative about him. Just like another narcissist named Obama.
