Trump. Man of the people.

[Jim Robinson]

Total b/s.

[lodi90]

Good. This looks like a Democrat ad that Hillary will run in the general. Let’s see if Trump can stand the heat and beat Cruz.

[jennychase]

What happened? just dozen same anti Trump article till now.
Cruz campaign is not paying people $5 per hour.

[TBP]

Good job!

[Sacajaweau]

Ted is shooting himself in the foot. Big mistake.

And thought Ted pinky-swore he would never do negative campaigning.

[SubMareener]

WOW! Just recently Ted said he wasn’t going to do anything like this. Wasn’t Ted Cruz for the Keystone XL Pipeline? Did Ted think that could have been built without eminent domain?

[gwjack]

I find it interesting that it is the Cruz campaign releasing this ad; not a Super PAC.

[Dr. Sivana]

WOW! Just recently Ted said he wasn’t going to do anything like this. Wasn’t Ted Cruz for the Keystone XL Pipeline? Did Ted think that could have been built without eminent domain?

Eminent domain for a public purpose (utility, bridge, school, highway, etc.) is much different than eminent domain for Pfizer to have a corporate office or Trump to have a casino.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Cruz, man of Goldman Sachs and a CFR wife.....the real patriot.

See how that works?

Why do you post this shit all day long?

[gg188]

This is a VERY good summary of the arguments of the Cruz supporters, "comparing" Trump versus Cruz...(I believe this blogger is an FR poster)

[Las Vegas Ron]

Did Ted think that could have been built without eminent domain?

Can't say, Ted's never built anything in his life before.

You raise a good point.

[TheThirdRuffian]

What Trump is advocating is not eminent domain. He’s advocating the worst sort of crony capitalism, the Third World type of capitalism, where the powerful get what they want and the rest of us get nothing.

[Jim W N]

Most people don’t even know what “crony capitalism” means. It REALLY means political corruption. “Crony capitalism” is basically an expression that favors Leftist ideas and implies there’s something wrong with capitalism. There’s nothing wrong with the profit motive of capitalism (EVERYBODY endeavors to profit in whatever they do (duh)) but EVERYTHING wrong with unconstitutional federal governmental using our money to meddle in free enterprise and commerce for government and governmental officials’ own self-aggrandizement.

It is GOVERNMENT self interest or so often wrongly called “greed” although here “greed” is accurate, not corporate self interest, that is the core issue of political corruption.

Cruz and others continue to confuse free enterprise which seeks profits and growth which in turn absolutely grows the economy, with political corruption and growth of government, what absolutely shrinks the economy and creates scarcity.

[MamaB]

Vote Trump.

[SubMareener]

Can't say, Ted's never built anything in his life before.

Well, Pilgrim, there you have it. The choice is between a builder and a talker.

[magglepuss]

And what about the wall? Maybe Trump should run his own ad.

[SubMareener]

So the Keystone XL Pipeline is crony capitalism? Why did Ted Cruz support it?

[magglepuss]

Can’t say, Ted’s never built anything in his life before.
