Trump to NYT on Heidi Cruz retweet: 'Yeah, it was a mistake'
CNN ^ | April 2, 2016 | Eugene Scott

Posted on 04/02/2016 3:04:13 PM PDT by McGruff

Donald Trump admitted to The New York Times on Saturday that retweeting an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz was a mistake and that he would not do it again if given the opportunity.

"Yeah, it was a mistake," he told columnist Maureen Dowd. "If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it."

Dowd was asking about an incident last month in which Trump retweeted a picture of Cruz, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's wife, during a spat involving a nude photo of Trump's wife, Melania, that was circulated by an anti-Trump super PAC.

TPA, TPP, Free Trade, Immigration, H1B Cruz pivots to the right.
Trade, Immigration, H1B, Abortion, education, healthcare, housing- Trump pivots left.
I can lay out the examples if you like.
Call them “Pivots” to be polite, or “lies” if it makes you feel better, but when Trump changes his positions, he moves left, when Cruz does, he moves right.
Show me where I am wrong and I will answer in kind.

I can't speak for other Trumpsters, Trump exudes success, strength, toughness, leadership, he tackles issues too hot for our current leadership to want to touch because of political correctness. Trump connects with the common man and doesn't speak political speak which has become a negative to a lot of people because we've been burned too much by the false promises of the GOP political class.

A shake-up is in order, Cruz is steadily proving to be just more of the same, but we've been down that road so many times already, where has it gotten us? If not for Trump who knows how this race would be looking right now? I also liked Christie, Paul, Carson, Fiorina, Rubio, Cruz, Jindal in the beginning but Trump trumped them all...

This crop of "constitutional conservatives" are really just left wing ideologues turned inside out. They are anointed ones who guard the only truth. They're demi-god has been shown to be a terracotta idol with an itchy crotch. Of course they're full of hatred.

I disagree, Trump says things you want to hear, then he backs up into the same old politics as usual.

Immigration-Wall. Wall with beautiful door. Wall withe beautiful door to “expedite” the “good ones” back.

Terrorism.-Stop all Muslims until we figure it out. Well, I have Muslim “friends”, they ca come in

Trade-Make Apple produce the phone in the USA. Slap a 45% tariff on China. Well, maybe not 45%.....

Healthcare? Education?Nukes? Housing? Abortion?

He is no more to the right side than Romney was, frankly.

Cruz has more to apologize for. Lies are much worse than mistakes.

I know you would like to believe that.
The Constitution is the framework that can bring us back to exception alien, if followed.
Flawed candidates, which they all are, can use this as a guidepost, without some irrational worship of the proponents thereof.
Cruz, perfect?
By no means.
Cruz best for the Constitutional conservative?
The other candidates from either party do not come close.

Must be grand to be beautiful and never to have been caught in a goofy picture. I’m not in that camp, and unfortunately for Trump, neither are most women.

NO, from what is posted, nor did he ask forgiveness, HE says HE NEVER ASK FOR IT. Not even of Jesus.

Did you learn about Shillary’s gay lovers there? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/hillary-clinton-lesbian/

Or Blake Shelton’s 9 women on the side when he is supposed to be marrying Gwen.

Or I Love Lucy has ‘secret Son’ or maybe that one they ran one the “BAT BOY”

Would you tell a reporter what you asked God forgiveness for? No, you wouldn't. And, if you're so rich you never have to ask humans for forgiveness, it would be hard to come up with something to say right then.

If we were discussing Dubya or his father, you'd be all understanding and mad at the reporter and you know that's true.

Wrong, I’d be mad as I am at Trump. He could have ended this stupid stuff days ago. He got Free AIR TIME OUT OF IT at Cruz’s expensive and both women’s. Not a good way to treat your wife either.

Real MEN ask for forgiveness when they commit a wrong. No matter how rich or poor.

I don’t expect anyone to tell what they asked Christ to forgive either, that is between the 2 of them. But You do have to ask it and mean it. There is only 1 unpardonable sin and that is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit or Ghost. Good works don’t get you into Heaven. Only Christ can.
