Cruz voted for TPA in the (reasonable) expectation that a Republican president would be elected, and the President needs TPA to be able to negotiate trade deals. That's all that is. It's NOT the same as TPP. Cruz opposes TPP. That's just a fact, a matter of simple record.
Lumping the two issues is quite factually disingenuous to say the least. And his wife isn't running for president (and don't give me that lame quote from her where she said "we are running..." It's the same use of the plural that Trump and all the other candidates use when describing their campaigns)
In Utah Glen Beck called Cruz the fulfillment of prophecy. Cruz allowed himself to be called the fulfillment of prophecy - and he reveled in it. Cruz claims to be a reverent person yet he does this wickedly blasphemous act.
Who cares what Stabby McNutter says? The only thing I'm willing to concede here is that yes, Cruz should distance himself from that wackjob.
Monday, March 28, Cruz humiliated his wife by refusing to testify to his fidelity choosing instead to rant and blame Trump, but only after first allowing a surrogate to deflect the question. This is despicable and cowardly. A week later Mr. Sincerity said he has always been faithful. Nothing says “I love you” like humiliating your wife in front of all the world.
This is just factually wrong; he called the NE piece "completely false" on March 25. See here.
How much more of a denial could one issue? Don't you think that if one says a claim of infidelity is "completely false" one is already also "testifying to his fidelity", by clear implication? Let's get real here, just because he didn't use the exact words "I never cheated on my wife" is nit-picking, again at best! (At worst it's just being unreasonably demanding)
Cruz attempted to connect Trump with Beligian jihadies. How? Trump had recently made comments regarding NATO, and since NATO is quartered in Belgium, well there you go.
Cruz wasn't "connecting Trump to Belgian jihadis" he was saying that since Trump has signaled he doesn't really care for NATO, that it was "rather ironic" that the country where NATO was headquartered was attacked a day later. But I'll give you that it wasn't very timely and/or appropriate for him to be saying that at that time. That was a mistake on Cruz's part. I wonder though if you are as willing to admit mistakes on Trump's part.
Cruz claims he didn’t know he was Canadian until he saw it in the paper. Cruz said he would “let others worry about the silly stuff” - which is a complete lack of due diligence
That's a dead issue for everyone in the real world. Only to people who live on the Internet and fancy themselves Constitutional scholars is it still relevant. A court in PA ruled he was/is eligible because they ruled he was a "natural born citizen". That ruling set the precedent and will be such a precedent for any future cases brought, and summarily dismissed. I'm sorry if I don't take the word of people on the Internet as to how the real world works.
He was raised in America since an early age. This is the only country he's known. I completely believe him when he said he didn't realize he had Canadian citizenship until a few years ago. It's entirely believable since he's been here since like age two and has had no reason to believe he's anything but an American.
Honestly, I see nothing reasonable about that expectation.
> Who cares what Stabby McNutter says?
Cruz and Beck were on the same stage at the same time. Cruz allowed it, Cruz loved it.
> he called the NE piece “completely false”
Calling something garbage and a lie is deflection, not denial. Don’t be duped.
> hat’s a dead issue for everyone in the real world. Only to people who live on the Internet and fancy themselves Constitutional scholars is it still relevant. A court in PA ruled he was/is eligible because they ruled he was a “natural born citizen”.
Spoken like an uninformed sucker. The Pennsylvania court relied on law review articles, not law, not Supreme Court precedent. It’s on the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Cruz is naturalized.
>> Only to people who live on the Internet and fancy themselves Constitutional scholars is it still relevant <<
A totally unfair remark. Our latter-day heroine in the NBC world, Dr. Orly Taitz, does not “live on the Internet.” During the daytime, she practices dentistry, and at night she is immersed deeply in the dusty old French-language tomes of Monsieur Vattel, the master explainer of natural-born citizenship.
