Trump is many things not all good but his best trait is that he’s not a liar. The press is able to hit him because no matter what the repercussions, he tells the truth.
But Ted is a liar, I’ve watched him over and over. He takes a snippet of truth then extrapolates to some fictional conclusion and broadcasts that everywhere possible. And I think it’s his ad that implies Trump is using illegals on the P.O. job because the talked to some who “had entered the country illegally”.
I guess that’s Cruz’s version of the truth again, they entered illegally. Even though they now all have to be legal to work on a GSA job, he again twists facts and puts out national ads.
When he says Cruz’s birth place was not an issue and then as polls move in he says it is, even threatens to sue, is that being a liar? I think so. When he flip flops, is that being dishonest or just uninformed or indecisive?
I think both have a problem with exaggeration and even misleading.
For example, on the surface at least it would appear that Cruz’s straight flat tax effectively eviscerates the IRS which I think is the point. However, when you look closer, just the fact that it is an income tax means that the role of the IRS (or whatever agency Cruz wants to call its replacement - that IS misleading on Cruz’s part) although greatly reduced in size and scope would still involve obnoxious investigations into one’s income to verify whether all income has been reported. And that issue even rolls back to the definition of what is income.
Cruz’s REAL problem IMO is his resistance to resolving his NBC status which IMO makes him look like the typical career politician putting his political prospects ahead of the good of the country. To me that is a real problem with Cruz.
So yes, Cruz may be exaggerating, but Trump is too. I mean I support Trump but he also has some real problems IMO. For instance when he says Mexico will pay for the wall what he means is he will put enough tariffs (taxes) on their incoming good so the U.S. government will use the money to pay for the wall. But who REALLY is paying for the wall? Not Mexico - the tax doesn’t hurt Mexico - the prices are already contracted for between Mexican and U.S. distributors. The tariff (tax) forces the costs of these goods higher as they enter our country forcing higher prices at the local distributor for the American consumer. So it’s the American consumer that is really paying for the wall in higher prices forced upon them by these tariffs. So Trump is also misleading.
I’m a Trump supporter but whaddaygonna do? Dang man, they’re politicians and fallible. More reason why we should do the best we can to get the best we can in there, but trust the Lord to bring actual recovery to America.
Re post 20. Right on Kenny. Cruz lies so often that I wonder if he knows what the truth is. He makes accusations loaded with lies, VERY SAD!
