Posted on 02/22/2016 1:57:23 PM PST by dynoman

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Monday he’s fired campaign communications director Rick Tyler, after his top spokesman promoted a video that wrongly depicted Florida Sen.

Yeah, or make it about the posters. Anything to deflect and equivocate.

It’s the old worn out tactic, when they start facing the hard questions, focus on the messenger.

It is about posters. It's about their attitudes and insults and it applies to both camps. It's about condescension. Aren't FReepers better than that?

Cruz failed to hire right people

********************

At best. More likely, he knew exactly whom he was hiring.

Same here.

Why this guy was even hired by CRuz, in the first place, is just crazy.

He was ineffectual anyway. Katrina made the guy look an inept fool whenever she debated him.

Watch, and learn something:

Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks 2-22-16 Elko NV.

Don Jr is more articulate than most candidates in the race!

No it’s not. I’ve not called a single poster names. But I’ve been called a LOT of names LOTS of times. It’s a deflection tactic.

This story or thread is not about Trump. Get it?

Yes, I get it. You must have not read that I had been a Cruz supporter. What one candidate does or says now is about ALL the candidates.

Memo to Cruz campaign:

This election isn't about the Bible.

Pointing out your own hypocrisy while you self righteously point out others alleged misdeeds is not an ad hominem. It’s merely highlighting for the. FR world to see that you are, indeed, a hypocritical hack. You’ve earned the label, man up and wear it with pride, cowboy.

Not about me. Ted wrote the book “ A Time For Truth” - Then went on to lie like crazy.

In stark contrast watch this and learn something;

Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks 2-22-16 Elko NV.
https://youtu.be/1IqfRbjcpDY

It’s a Q and A. Don Jr is more articulate than most candidates in the race! Talks fast, not in a patronizing way and not like he’s lecturing. Lots about government waste, small government, “the left”, the constitution, the second amendment.

“I”m probably the only billionaire’s son more comfortable in a D-10 Cat than a golf cart.”

He personally reloads 100 different calibers.

Don Jr is part of the full court press from Trump.

Very impressive.

I watched Trumps kid speak live. Very impressive. Spoke for about 45 minutes. We should run him after 8 years of Trump.
