Cruz knocks Trump over Palestine
The Hill ^ | March 21, 2016 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 03/21/2016 9:08:04 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Sen. Ted Cruz landed an immediate blow on GOP presidential rival Donald Trump, who spoke before him Monday at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference, for how the front-runner referred to the Palestinian people.

"Let me say at the outset, perhaps to the surprise of the previous speaker, Palestine has not existed since 1948," Cruz said to lead off his speech in Washington.

Trump repeatedly referred to the Palestinian people as "Palestine" during his remarks just minutes before Cruz. Neither the United States nor Israel recognizes Palestine as a country...

Poor Teddy Bares. They love their smarmy lying lawyer Teddy Bare. He can't even control his smarmy smirk when he gets applause.. People are now making videos about it. What a slimy liar, their Teddy. Did you notice the number of Trump's talking points that Teddy has tried to coopt?

I thought Ted’s speech was excellent, and because he is such a great listener, he was able to capitalize on Trump’s error.

But why was Trump the middle speaker to begin with? Usually the candidate who is leading will take the final spot. Could it have been that AIPAC felt from the onset that Ted would bring the stronger speech for the finish?

From lawyer to school marm!

Arrogant, smug and condescending!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Let there be no doubt that Mr. Trump wrote his own speech and delivered it brilliantly.

IMHO, Mr. Donald Trump won the evening and that’s ALL that mattered.

Logical fallacy: too few alternatives.

cruz’s speech was more articulate and got lots of applause in the crowd. trump was not as good altho he got some good ovations. it is an interesting contrast between the two. there is the appeal to the flinty speech by cruz and it was a great speech. but i always will look at him like he’s a lawyer. rubio as well.

More likely that they wanted the better speaker to have the better audience. proved true. Ted spoke to a lot of empty seats.He is an arrogant an boring speaker who loves the sound of his own voice.

Baloney. His track record is quite surprisingly accurate for thirty years.

This is another Lyin’ Ted misstep! He just tries too hard.

Trump’s success in the business world is no doubt due in some large part to his ability to recognize “what is”, not what he would like it to be or what it used to be.

On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon declared that “the designation of ‘State of Palestine’ shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents.

“Trump is astonishingly ignorant on foreign affairs.”

On the other hand...granting that your specious declaration be accurate.... a fresh perspective on complex international relationships will just as likely render a clarity of understanding for fresher eyes.

Where have the learned experts lead us? Where do they find consensus? Who is financed by whom?

I’ll place my bet on fresh eyes and action born of conviction. When a road splits, you gotta pick a direction....or y’get stuck in a ditch....like the one we, and our allies, find ourselves.

Vote Trump.

As compared to the “Christian” Trump who has never asked God for forgiveness for anything. Wrote a book bragging about cheating on his wives and cheating with the wives of other powerful men.

Ya, that’s they guy your defending.

So now you are the great defender of the UN eh?

The UN has a number of declarations against Israel. I suppose you’ll be defending those too...

Convictions implies principles.

Trump has few core principles and the others change with the wind. Enjoy...
