DONALD TRUMP: I never really gave [the Confederate flag] much thought. Maybe I was asked a question about it, by that time they had put it in a museum and I was fine with that... So he'll take a quarter of a sentence, because I never really had a view on it, it will be interesting to see what I said, at that time I wasn't a politician, I was a... "world class businessperson," now I guess I'm a politician unfortunately.
But what happened is, Ted Cruz is a dirty player, he lies constantly, and I've dealt with some pretty bad people, I've dealt with much, much worse people than Ted Cruz, much tougher than Ted Cruz, but I've never dealt with anyone who lies as much as Ted Cruz...

Why call Cruz a liar for using Trump’s own words. So he didn’t give it much thought.... Right....
What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander:

Trump’s reasonable stance did not hurt him in South Carolina and it will help him tremendously in the general election. Thanks for pointing it out.
The media and the Republican Loyalist and the Democrats (all the same really) will now be parsing every word Trump has spoken since 1960 and accenting each and ever one that might/could/ maybe/hopefully could damage him.
What they forget or still do not know is;
Trump voters hate the Republican party. They just hate media and the Democrats more.
That to me, sums up the Trump “Revolution”.
Could this hurt Trump with the racist vote he seems to be winning? Probably not, his supporters love him regardless of what he says.
Because Raphael “Ted” Cruz and Marco Rubio are liars.
Both of them.
They are frauds. Phonies. Not Americans. NOT THE NATION OF ISRAEL.
They seek to do you, your children, your families, your neighbors, and this country harm. Most of all, they sought Iran to make war on Israel.
How many times do I have to tell you this over and over and over and over again?
Cast aside your darlings.
And yet your poltical god still came in third in SC.
>>> Why call Cruz a liar for using Trump’s own words. <<<
Because liars ALWAYS accuse others of lying.
It’s called ‘projection’.
I live in SC, I am from Indiana. I'm a "northerner"...yet I deeply believe taking the flag down from a CONFEDERATE cemetery to "please blacks" is a travesty. It is HISTORY!! One NEEDS the history lesson as a constant reminder of how to avoid tragedy while making decisions in the present and future. Anyone thinking taking the flag down at a cemetery is a good idea is misjudging people who understand the truth. Haley taking the Confederate flag from a Confederate memorial puts her in league with ISIS blowing up historical religeous artifacts. ...and for about the same thoughtless reasons. I voted for her, I will not do so again. (And somebody better get Trump up to speed on the truth).
Trump needs to be told that the Confederate flag in question represents anti govt, anti establishment - the exact sentiment that he represents.
Notice that Trump said “put it in a museum and respect it”. He didn’t say “ban it from existence and write it completely out of history because the sight or even the thought of it represents “microagression” to some people and makes their little tummies sick”.
Works for me and I’m a Southerner.
In some very interesting ways, Trump has become the Confederate flag.
It’s just unfortunate some subliminals on FR can’t see that.
Trump is upending the establishment in Washington, D. C., and we can see the reaction of those who are loyal to it. Oh they’ll find plenty of excuses for this, but at the end of the day what they want to happen is another government insider tasked with fixing the problem of government insiders.
“But he’s perfect I tell ya!”
He’s a guy with his own checkered past, a liar like all the rest, and leading perhaps the biggest mud slinging efforts I’ve ever seen. On top of this the man has exhibited no leadership skills in his life, except now with his lying corrupt campaign staff and some of the most flawed thinkers I’ve ever seen. Ex: None of this has dawned on them.
Pardon the interruption.
Back to trashing today’s Confederate.
Opposed to the federal government cabal?
There was a time when all of us were.
Now a “special” group of dumplings have gone wobbly. Actually change the status quo? Oh, well, wait a minute...
Pussies!
