Taking aim at businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz said at a campaign rally Wednesday that too much is riding on the 2016 presidential election to get fooled by a showman that is more bluster than substance...
"We can't be fooled by P.T. Barnum," Mr. Cruz said, alluding to the late founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. "The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has past."......

Sadly too many are fooled. To think that people calling themselves Conservative would vote for a man who helped harry reid get elected is revolting.
One of the best Trump vote getters I ever saw. Amazing
Lol! Perfect.
Awesome post and Right ON!
The Trump affect!
Ok. Have fun.
good businessman does not lose all his investors’ money four times.
Typical Ted, insulting everyone that choses leadership other than his own. That’s a winning strategy.
Ignorance is bliss to Teddy Bares. Trump NEVER lost all his investors’ money four times. Obviously, Teddy Bares don't understand FACTS. Chapter 11 us a reorganization, and investors get paid.
Poor Teddy Bares. Clutching at pearls and flinging crap. Teddy is a LOSER!
Vote Trump! Vote for a WINNER!

Do you REALLY want to play this game? If you take the whole record, instead of snippets, you might actually figure out the real story about this. But you don’t want real conservatism, do you?
Try this for a start on Trump’s interview about abortion:
TRUMP: Well, look. I’m very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it, I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I hear people debating the subject. But you still — I just believe in choice. And again, it may be a little bit of a New York background, because there is some different attitude in different parts of the country, and I was raised in New York, grew up and worked and everything else in New York City. But I am strongly for choice, and yet I hate the concept of abortion.
RUSSERT: But you would not ban it.
TRUMP: No.
RUSSERT: Or ban partial-birth abortion.
TRUMP: No, I would - I would -I am pro-choice in every respect, as far as it goes. I just hate it.
If this isn’t enough, I have about a hundred other quotes that show which voters are bigger fools.
Vote Trump! Vote for a WINNER!
Listen, if I was like Cruz and had no accomplishments to campaign on, I would resort to insults and lies as well.
Trump NEVER hurls insults at Cruz like “ Big baby, crying”, liar, many more. But Trump also attacks and insults anyone that doesn’t support him. He called the people of Iowa as stupid, and then blames Cruz for why the king(Trump) didn’t come in first.
It looks like I gave Cruz too much credit.
He is destroying his opportunity to play a significant role in the new administration.
“You are a petty and vindictive woman.”
She’s nothing compared to the pettiness and vindictiveness of Trump and his supporters.
You just keep telling the big lies...worked for Goebbels.
The posts you’ve been doing on Trump tell me you don’t like him. OK now I know, we all know. You hate Trump. Can we move on? There is nothing but mudslinging here trying to knock down a man who has done America a service by running, changed the National conversation so that we are talking about issue that have been destroying our country but were to hot to mention let alone fix.
Now we might get to work on them because Trump has made them THE Issues, unless we are stupid enough to elect Mr More of the Same Rubio or another candidate who is part of the political class.
He doesn’t want the real facts.
But he’ll ignore all of Trump’s waffling and pandering to the GOP’s so-called conservatives, who have sold their souls and core values, just so he can build his damn wall.
By adding Glenn Beck to the campaign, poor Cruz captured the title “Clown Show.”
What does your post have to do with your header? That's exactly how I judge a man and one of the reasons I'm so impressed by Trump. The number of people to whom he has reached out and made a difference has impressed me: for sending his plane to transfer a young boy on a ventilator from Israel to NYC, saving a family home by buying a mortgage and giving it to the family, championing ex-military who were getting the run around, building a skating rink and giving it to NYC.
Perhaps Fallwell said it best:
Falwell then recounted how Trump gave his unsolicited support and generosity to those who needed it most, including funding the Harlem Hoops Basketball Tournament in New York after the man who ran it died in the 9/11 attacks and paying off the mortgage of a couple who stopped to help him when his limousine conked out on a deserted highway.
"Matthew 7:16 tells us that 'By their fruits, you shall know them,'" Falwell said. "Donald Trump's life has born fruit. Fruit that has provided jobs to multitudes of people, in addition to the many he has helped with his generosity."
"In my opinion, Donald Trump lives a life of loving and helping others as Jesus taught in the great commandment."
And then in explaining how his own father was criticized for supporting Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter for president, Falwell added:
"He wasn't electing a Sunday school teacher or a pastor or even a president who shared his theological beliefs," Falwell said. "He was electing the president of the United States and the talents, abilities and experience required to lead a nation might not always line up with those needed to run a church or lead a congregation. After all, Jimmy Carter was a great Sunday school teacher but look what happened to our nation with him in the presidency."

the more I think of it, professional politicians lose considerable amounts of money on their donors behalf. Heck nearly 95% of the declared POTUS candidates will fail. it happens to be that Ted will lose other peoples money, almost as fast a Jeb did.
At least Trump had some skin in the game with his failed business ventures.....(and with this election)......
