So now Cruz is trying to “emulate” Little Yebbie! That dog won’t hunt.

Third post of the same article, plus Twister?

How ingenious.

[VanDeKoik]

I’m not even sure what the ad is trying to accomplish.

Trump says “Make America Great Again”.

Cruz says “Only some parts of the nation I will give a damn about”?

I believe Cruz waited too late to attack Trump. He was friendly when he should have been hitting. He gave Trump time to define himself. I could be wrong. We will know soon enough, but I feel Cruz should have started earlier.

[Trumpinator]

Tactically, yes. Trump’s rise was him branding himself right out of the gate.

[Faith Presses On]

There’s tomorrow night’s debate.

[TornadoAlley3]

Republicans have never known how or when to fight. Take that back. They started losing when they were unable to get Bork on SCOTUS. Unprepared then through now. Will Trump teach them? I do not know.

[Trumpinator]

What impressed me and energized me about Trump was when he got pushback on the Wall and illegals and he doubled down. Doing so hurts his business brand - calls for boycotts etc. At that point I realized Trump fights. If he fights then I fight for him.

That is a leader. A leader makes you want to fight for his cause.

[Kit cat]

This is a GREAT response, his fighting makes me want to fight all the more for him!!!

[Eva]

Tomorrow’s debate should be interesting. I have a feeling that the Trump complaint about Megyn Kelly is a set up. She hates Cruz more than Trump.

[GrouchoTex]

” If he fights then I fight for him.
That is a leader. A leader makes you want to fight for his cause.”

Frankly, I find that statement a bit scary.

Fight for your country, okay.

Fight for an leader, no.

[jmaroneps37]

I haven’t seen it but I hope it includes going to a gay couple’s home for cash — oh wait that was “Formally Surging Ted” who did that ... never mind.

[GodGunsGuts]

Yep, the New York Values dust up is going to be a HUGE net positive for Ted Cruz as the primaries move south and west!!!

[Trumpinator]

This is a GREAT response, his fighting makes me want to fight all the more for him!!!

Thanks.

No offense to Cruz fans but all his remarks remind me of lawyer talk. Trump's remarks are to the point broadsides loaded for bear.

Please.

Fight as in fight for a cause - we are not in a shooting war with Democrats for Pete's sake.

Because they don't know Trump is a brash New Yorker?

[voicereason]

Trump is the king of soundbites, but that's about it. It's just snippets constantly repeated over and over again. My fear though is that at the end of day, I think Trump is still going to be a big government type.
