Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) cr97% argued fellow GOP candidate Donald Trump can't beat Democratic candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton because he "agrees with Hillary Clinton and can't take it to her" during Thursday's GOP presidential debate on CNN.
Cruz said, after stating he would release his tax forms, and that if Trump is being audited, it gives more of a reason for him to release his tax returns, because the voters should know if there is fraud, "[I]n the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics he's [Trump's] lost to Hillary on eight of them. In the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics, I either tied or beat Hillary, and this is an example. You know, the mainstream media's laying off Donald now. They're going to pick apart his taxes. They're going pick apart his business deals. And let's take, for example, one of Hillary as great vulnerabilities, the corruption at the Clinton Foundation, the fact she had CEOs and foreign companies giving her money, while she was secretary of state. The next Republican nominee needs to be able to make that case against Hillary. And if Donald tried to did it, Hillary would turn to Donald and say, but gosh, Donald, you gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. I even went to your wedding.' He can't prosecute the case against Hillary, and we risk another four years of these failed Obama policies by nominating someone who loses to Hillary Clinton in November."...

He had the golden opportunity last night to push his flat tax when he was going after Trump for his returns.
For someone who is a debate champion, he let his emotions run his mouth.
Very disappointing.
Ted, I wish you’d talk less about Trump or Rubio and more about what you want to do as President, and your take on current events, where they are heading and what you plan to do about them if and when you are in office.
Cruz never should have gotten into the race. Very disappointed, I used to have respect for him.
Same here. I was hoping he would take advantage of the debates to explain to the millions of Americans watching why Conservatism is the right way and why Socialism is not.
Instead he was participating in the food fight last night.
Okay now go away. I must ignore your further temper tantrum and name calling. God Bless you, honey.
Dude, I was just posting a Trump quote. If Trump quotes are TDS, then Trump has TDS. :-)
I think Ted tried to stay on message but had to try and defend himself against Trump. I don't have a problem with that.
Rubio was the real attack do and while he may have had good points, his antics were a joke.
Rubio was like a Chihauha on speed.
I'd prefer to see Cruz knock out Rubio but the #'s and the 3rd place finishes are puzzling.
Cruz has the right message but he fails to connect and he's likely tainted just by being a Senator.
His flips on immigration and TPP and H1-B visas haven't helped him out either. Really a shame.
Just because Trump said Hillary was a terrific woman it did not mean he really meant it. He also said Planned Parenthood does terrific job. Does it also mean that he likes Planned Parenthood?
Terrific and terrible have same first 5 characters. Trump, although not entirely conserving the word, conserved enough characters. Trump is going to win the conservation. And make the words whole again.
Learn something. Attend Trump University.
Will Ted drop out next Tuesday night or Wednesday?
| Yes, he won the Iowa battle at the cost of losing the whole South. Bad strategy. He spent way too much time and money in Iowa. Cruz's comments: They're going to pick apart [Trump's] taxes. They're going pick apart his business deals. Cruz is trying to run with a greased watermelon in his hands. It's not gonna work. Turn it around -- what is Hillary going to say to Cruz: you have only been in elected office for two years and you have no management experience in your life, Ted. So forget those "world domination" dream of yours and go back and pay your dues. Rookie on the job training like Obama is not what we are looking for. Oh, and take that cabana boy with you. |
The reflection in the sunglasses. I recognize Rubio. But who is the guy he is kissing???
A real Christian conservative aren’t you. You are really having a childish meltdown. God bless you. Grow up. I hate laughing at someone having such a fit, but it is getting more difficult.
“Constitution” “God” “Consistent Conservative” are admirable positions to have and push, but making them the defining part of your platform is not going to get voters to the polls for you in a year like this.
Sure thing.
Have a nice evening.
Hillary and Ted are both puppets of Goldman Sachs. Does not matter since Cruz said he is quitting after Super Trumpday so why waste your votes.
Pray America wakes
Ted beat Rubio in Las Vegas & South Carolina!
Today Ted Cruz practically endorsed Marco Rubio, the Marco Rubio who was elected by Tea Partiers then after winning became a RINO, was part of the gang of 8, taking a page out of Yasser Arafat’s playbook says one thing in Spanish and the opposite to us in English.
Perhaps Ted Cruz knows something we don’t, maybe he sees something in the internal polling. Heck, endorse Ben Carson... ANYBODY but Marco Rubio.
"Oh, wait..." is sarcasmspeak for "No, he didn't". NOW do you understand? :)
Meanwhile, let's both:
I have a feeling he says a lot of things he doesn't mean. And, no, I'll give Trump university a miss, given that it is a sham.
Dude, no, you clearly have it. My wife posts here and she pointed it out to me.
