Obamacare, Cruz, and the Trump Crack-Up
American Spectator ^ | 2//8/2016 | David Catron

Posted on 02/08/2016 3:59:23 AM PST by rootin tootin

Most of us who have followed the GOP nomination contest expected Donald Trump to show his posterior pursuant to his loss to Senator Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses, but it is unlikely that many expected him to crack up after only one defeat. Nonetheless, that seems to be what is happening. Even when he reverted to his trademark antics only one day after an uncharacteristically rational concession speech, few students of the Donalds weird campaign could have been surprised. It is difficult, however, to escape the conclusion that Trump is losing it when he claims that Cruz foisted Obamacare upon the nation.

if a Harry Potter “ Death Eater” ran for president and said he’d build a wall, and put the mexicans and muslims on trains- I”d take the day off to vote for the Death Eater. It takes a little time and effort to go back and change “ mexicans and muslims “to lower case on an iPhone, but I find the time.

A rational case to not elect trump, not that it will make any difference to the Trumpites.

A rational case

Speaking of rational cases, Ted Cruz thinks legalization of illegals is part of "common sense" immigration reform. He's also a weirdo who sent his father as part of his campaign to preach a Dominionist sermon in front of a Dominionist church where he argued that there are anointed Kings gifted by God to redistribute the wealth of the wicked into the hands of the righteous.

But Ted Cruz guys still support him and think that Donald Trump is "cracking up" because some nobody in a magazine told them so.

Haha....you know? I kinda agree with you. AFAIK, those two are just about our biggest problem. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it, either.

“But Ted Cruz guys still support him and think that Donald Trump is “cracking up” because some nobody in a magazine told them so.”

Especially the American Spectator that has been reviled by conservatives for soooo long as just another GOPe rag.

I gave up caring a long time ago. The media tiptoes, apologizes, lies, omits and slithers while the common people buy guns and prepare. The common man is infinitely more rational then those limp- wristed fools and I’d rather live in the Bible Belt than a New York high rise with tranny journalists.

I feel very much the same as you on this matter....but I'm damn sick and tired of the bull crap that comes from the mouths of the stinking politician.... All talk and no action...

They will say ANYTHING to get elected...The obummer even swore allegiance to the American Flag and the constitution of the United States.....imagine that if you can...

The Donald is FAR from “cracking up” under the new conditions imposed on the campaign. This sort of thing is what The Donald revels in, it means his strategy of negotiation is working, and it is advancing his cause even better than the original projections. The Art of the Deal is playing out.

Take advantage of the internal struggles of your rival, those missteps and fumbles on their part shall become your source of additional strength.

You mean the way that conservatives loved Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Red State, etc., even longer than (you say) they hated American Spectator, but now strumpets revile them for questioning anything about their "leader".

Whoever “wins” the presidency, on day one will get a phone call from George Soros or whoever represents the 61 people who control over half the world’s wealth and give him/ her/ it their marching orders. They will comply. That’s what the guns are for. Last time I checked, there is no shortage of piano wire.

"Most of us who have followed the GOP nomination contest expected the GOP elitist beltway punditry to show their posteriors pursuant to their exposure as establishment hacks, but it is unlikely that many expected it to crack up because of only one candidate."

You don't think Trump is saying anything to get elected? He's done an about face on the flat tax (he used to oppose it), hasn't mentioned his idea for a wealth tax that he used to talk about, was pro-choice and is now pro-life, was for an assault weapon ban and is now against it, was for single payer health care (i.e., full out socialized medicine) and is now... well I'm not sure what he's for.

Who knows what he really believes, other than his own omnipotence?

Cruzbots send out more E-Mails from Linda

How we are crashing and stealing votes from Dr. Carson cost us more than we figured.

People think Cruz is a Canadian and an oily candidate who will say anything to get votes

One cracking up is Cruz. Team Ted lied, “principled” died.

It isn’t the first time Jeff Roe has done that, so we know it was deliberate.

Eckersley calls e-mail a hoax, says he’s still in the race (AUDIO)
“You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe-style management. That’s who Billy’s retained. That’s who he writes the big checks to,” Eckersley tells Missourinet affiliate KTTS. “This is Kansas City management doing what they do best, which is playing dirty.”

Thanks for posting this well written and rational article that contains a series of FACTS that need to be looked at - not simply.

 photo lala.jpg

another snip...

The "reasoning" behind this wacky accusation involves controversial Obamacare rulings by Chief Justice John Roberts, whose confirmation Trump now lays at the Texas Senator's feet: "He's the one that got Justice Roberts onto the United States Supreme Court. He pushed him. He approved him, and Justice Roberts approved Obamacare twice.... Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare, believe me." Although their applause made it clear that the lofo attendees of the Little Rock rally at which Trump made this bizarre charge did indeed "believe" him, the claim that Cruz somehow gave us Roberts or Obamacare is... well... nuts.

Rational discourse requires some basic acknowledgement of cause and effect, the definitions of English language words and at least elementary logic.

Children need to be taught these things as they learn to talk and interact with their parents. When they deny they filched a cookie, they have to be confronted with the crumb trail they left. It's a teaching moment.

It's probably too late for Trump. His brain is now hard wired. I'll bet the dog ate a lot of his homework.
