Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday challenged the premise of Donald Trump's promise to "make America great again," and asked if Trump knows how America ever became great in his closing pitch to South Carolinians.
Speaking in Myrtle Beach, Cruz launched into an extended diatribe about what he perceived as Trump's lackluster position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He followed it up with a list of Cruz's campaign promises and a stinging rebuke of Trump's singular message.
"We will see the economy explode, small businesses grow, young people coming out of school with three, four, five job opportunities. Wages going up. You know what? We're going to be winning so much we'll get tired of winning," Cruz said, mimicking Trump's message. "It's easy to say let's Make America Great Again, you can even print that on a baseball cap. The question to ask is, do you understand what made America great in the first place?"

Cruz voted for the Corker bill too. How does voting for bills that subvert the constitution make America great?
I tend to shy away from a potential President Sound Byte myself. This country needs substance, not rhetoric.
Wondering how many jobs Ted bears has created.
You must be ignorant, then. Maybe visit:
... and then come back and say that Ted Cruz is unaccomplished.
Mark Sanford just came out with Hannidy and Cruz........If he endorses Cruz, I am going to laugh so hard. Cruz gets the WORST people behind him. I wonder if they will go hiking in Appalachia.
Lord Cruz run as fast as you can.
Why does lawyer cruz know more about economics than Trump?
Sanford endorsed Cruz earlier today. No link handy, but you can google it. :)
Dang. FR is full of anti-conservative jerks. Just look at all the cynical, uninformed comments in this thread.
Do y’all know that the founder of this website SUPPORTS TED CRUZ as his #1 choice? If you did, maybe you’d cut back on the cynical and uninformed anti-Cruz vitriol.
Yes, Jim Robinson supports Trump. But his FIRST choice is TED CRUZ.
“You know what? We’re going to be winning so much we’ll get tired of winning,” Cruz said, mimicking Trump’s message.”
Yeah, only Cruz wasn’t mocking Trump’s showman’s mannerisms, as Il Trumpe does when mimicking the handicapped.
Right on!!!
Cruz has a long list of accomplishments in the real world. For example he created uhh....uhhh...uhhh
OK, maybe he didn’t create anything.
But he worked in private industry doing uhhh...uhhh....uhhh.
OK, maybe he didn’t work in the private sector, either.
But his long list of accomplishments are right up there with Hellry Clinton.
Good grief....Cruzers are unable to discern reality.
7 pro Cruz comments out of the first 37. This thread must be rigged.
...do you understand what made America great in the first place? Eh?
Pray America wakes
Jim,
This is your website. You founded it. You are the ultimate moderator.
How do you tolerate such anti-Cruz venom on your site? Any post that mentions Cruz is immediately polluted by anti-Cruz comments. Completely overrun by anti-Cruz slime. I’ve been here for decades ... and am finding the anti-conservative slander unrelenting.
Is there nothing you can do to restrain the anti-Cruz onslaught?
He can always start his own mega-church.
DC Cruz has fooled a lot of posters here.
Ted and Heidi help created and push thru a Treason treaty which will destroy millions of US jobs and flood the country with H 1 Visas .
