Ted Cruz slams Donald Trump: ‘We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum
The Washington Times ^ | February 24, 2016 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 02/24/2016 12:57:22 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

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."......

Yeah, that’ll work. Someone who bought four failed businesses, restructured them through bankruptcy, and sold them stronger than they were and for a profit.

...It is time for a businessman to set America on the right track again.It is time for President Trump. ...

Like Roosevelt?

Like LBJ?

Like Kennedys?

Barnum was a genius. So what’s the issue? Are we not looking for someone smart?

Let’s see where we’re at in a week, huh?

All your picture shows is the criminal Clintons are trying to curry favor from Trump. (not sure about curry) but you get my drift. TRUMP is king.

I would be more interested in Rubio and Cruz’a tax returns! I would like to see the forms for income by corruption and fraud.
Are they required to list all graft or just that which is over $1,000.00?
Politics may be the most profitable of all jobs.
Seems Bill and Hill did pretty well!

Why, you must be a bully of a Trumphole brownshirt to put out facts like that. Clearly you hate America and Jesus to scoff at The One.

But if Trump ultimately wins who do you think will be writing the narrative? Not Trump. It will be the media.

Haven't been paying attention, have you?

“We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum,”

I'd guess that a lot of people in this country have absolutely no idea who PT Barnum is or have ever been to a circus.

Contracts are contracts for a reason.

They are written with the intention that they will be enforced. by the courts if necessary.

You must not have any serious baseness experience.

Just as when you purchase a car on time or a house on time, there are penalties for thumbing you nose at your contractual obligations.

The rules are simple. You must follow the terms of the contracts. If you have any disagreements with the other party, you are not excused by that from living up to your bargain. Any disagreements must be settled by either a previously agreed to method or by civil court.

Those businesses who broke their contract because of Trump’s position on immigration have no more right to break the contract than you have to quit paying for your car because the windshield wipers do not work.

In addition, verbal contracts can be enforced just as though they were written contracts.

So unless you have read each of those contracts and understand contract law, your references to Trump’s business dealings are foolish.

As for the plaintiff’s lawyers, remember that you can find a lawyer to take any side of any disagreement so long as you can pay the bill, so that lends zero credibility to either side.

I listed all the great capitalists in the last great age of capitalism when America was free and there was basically no government . I listed men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison , Andrew Carnegie, The Wright Brothers, Alexander Graham Bell etc. and from that you get that I’m talking about socialism and socialists like JfK LBj etc? NO try again.
