"That candidate is considered a political outsider by all of the pundits," [Mika] said. "He's tapping into the anger of voters, delivers a populist message. "He believes everyone in the country should have healthcare [and] he advocates for hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes," Brzezinski added. "He is drawing thousands of people at his rallies and bringing in a lot of new voters into the political process. Who am I describing?"
"You're describing Donald Trump," the outspoken billionaire responded.
"Actually, I was describing Bernie Sanders," Brzezinski countered.
Except for the characteristic about not taking money from interest groups, and now we know that is not true, the others could apply to what Cruz has been bragging about himself.
“Kinda weird that he still refers to himself in the 3rd person.”
Trump has been referring to “Trump” for about forty years because he is referring to his company.
Trump is “on the record” on both sides of many issues.
Barry was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton[7] on June 17, 1999, to replace H. Lee Sarokin.
Guess you quit reading after the first sentence. Or maybe you are just dishonest and desperate for a chance to call Cruz a liar.
Do you even know his real stance on "universal" healthcare? I'd wager not.
Just as effective to say that those who don't believe that Trump will attain the WH are Obama supporters because he says the same thing.....
Keep it real - these pathetic attempts are so.....pathetic.
very misleading title.. bringing in tons of new voters, has huge rallies and taps into the anger of the population aren’t political positions
FALSENESS BY omission
Trump's sister WAS nominated by Clinton.
Your resorting to falseness by omission is pathetic.
Are you THAT desperate?
.........................................................
the Clinton-Trump relationship goes back a bit further than that, we recall. After all, it was President Bill /Clinton who did a very nice thing for the Trump family in June 1999, when he nominated Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, to a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Barry, a Republican and Reagan-appointed federal trial judge at the time, reportedly was herself surprised she was picked. "I am deeply honored and very grateful for the nomination," Barry, who's a senior judge now, told the New Jersey Law Journal in 1999. "I am surprised I was approached on it. I assume that my record is good enough as a district court judge to be reached out to, and I'm glad that politics weren't a priority here. Well, maybe not a priority, but we were, after all, in the midst of l'affaire Lewinsky at the time, the GOP Senate was in no mood to confirm Clinton's nominees and the seat had been vacant for three years. Barry is a well-regarded judge, we're told, and she was supported by both New Jersey Democratic then-senators, Frank Lautenberg and Bob Torricelli. (Trump has called Torricelli his "good friend" and "brilliant.") The Senate moved with lightning speed to confirm her unanimously on Sept. 13, 1999. (Let's pause to think about that: Three months -- including the August recess -- from nomination to confirmation. What was that The Donald said about "when you give. . ."?)
Trump followed his sister's hearings closely, as he noted in his book, "The America We Deserve."
He skewered then-Sen. Bob Smith (R-N.H.) for being mean to her at her Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 1999, after Smith grilled her on her views about abortion.
Smith is "inarticulate, unqualified, and, according to several members I know, about the dumbest guy in the U.S. Senate," Trump wrote. "Maybe if my sister had spoken more slowly he would have understood her."

How many people would you say have "died in the streets" in the US due to lack of medical care, in the last, let's say, decade?
His greatest golf course in the world in Scotland (eminent domain battle) has lost money for the past 3 years. I truly think the only reason the man is running is to make money.
The mischaracterization of what was said by the Cruzers (as opposed to Cruz supporters) here couldn't be farther from the truth.
Lying to help Cruz. It's unfortunately become a daily occurrence.
A political outsider....who has been in Congress for 26 years
Cruz said,
“Now, it’s good to stand with your sister. But Donald’s Trump’s sister [ Maryanne Trump Barry,] was a Bill Clinton-appointed federal appellate judge who’s a radical pro-abortion extremist.
“Donald said his extreme, abortion-supporting sister would make a terrific Supreme Court Justice. If the people of South Carolina care about their constitutional rights, we’re one justice away from the Supreme Court writing the Second Amendment out of the Bill of Rights.”
Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, is a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
“A candidate who has spent 60 years of his life being very, very pro-choice and defending partial-birth abortion is not the candidate you can trust to appoint principled constitutionalists,” Cruz said about Trump
Maryanne Trump Barry was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton on June 17, 1999,

Very few people die in the streets, and Trump has promised very little regarding universal health care.
Well said!
OK, I will go back and try to just LISTEN to the lyrics, fair enough? Shut my screen down or cover it.
cheers
And no, I don't watch these types of videos, my eyes and soul will not put up with it. If/when it comes up on TV, GRAB the remote ASAP.
Sorry, I tried. Can't tell if it was pro or anti Trump? Oh well.
What is a 'Cruz-bot'?
