Peter King: Trump is ‘more reasonable’ than 'hopeless' Cruz
Politico ^ | 4/22/16 | Nolan D. McCaskill

Posted on 04/23/2016 5:15:43 AM PDT by markomalley

Peter King on Friday said he would back Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump over Ted Cruz, highlighting the billionaire as a more reasonable general-election candidate than the “phony,” “hopeless,” “irredeemable” Texas senator.

King voted for Ohio Gov. John Kasich in New York’s primary, though he also correctly predicted that Trump would score a big victory in the state Tuesday. Similarly to the way he shied away from characterizing his vote as a Kasich endorsement, King stressed Friday that he isn’t endorsing Trump but remarked that he would choose the real estate mogul over Cruz.

“But Donald Trump, to be an effective candidate in the general election, has to show substance,” King told CNN. “He has to show that he's gone just beyond, you know, the name-calling and the sound bites and, again, he's not my first choice for candidate but he's got to show that he knows what he's talking about.”

Thanks for compiling and posting this list. There are a few vile rectums still posting, and a few et tu Brutus bastards, who each day post anti Trump bs and ignore Jim’s stand, while saying “Don’t throw stones at the Messenger!”

This represents a good start to repairing FR to defeat Clintoon. We don’t have the time and energy to deal with the backstabbers in defeating Clintoon!

Never trust Peter King. This is the day after Reince Prebius suddenly approves of Trump and told the GOPE to get in line. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. They’re up to something. And it ain’t good. Of that we can be sure.

if you can't conduct yourself appropriately and abide by the wishes of the property owner, you should show some class, head for the exit, and GTFO.

Telling someone to GTFO? Yep, that's showing class in my book! SMDH

I had to go back to my history and there it was. Maybe he’s changed his mind. Dunno. Ted ain’t caring about the country, he only wants to wreck the rebellion against the establishment. He makes that quite clear each day.

1) You do not know how to use the organ between your ears. Trump tells you that Cruz is a liar, so you repeat it, like an animal. That’s all you’re capable of doing.

Listen to what Trump actually says, then listen to what Cruz says about what Trump said. You will see what a liar Ted is. Ted is the dirtiest, trickiest politician I have ever seen.

Well, I still give first place award in that category to BamBam. But yes, he’s doing GOPe dirty tricks; absolutely. Which is why several of them rallied to him and he was publicly thanking them for their “endorsements”. Same team.

BamBam, btw, is virtually neck-and-neck with Hillary. Birds of a feather.

“...I don’t wield the ZOT-bolts around here, but I’m more than happy to provide targeting information...make up your mind what you’re gonna do, ok?”
**************************************************************************************************
I’m glad you don’t “wield the ZOT-bolts” because you lack both the judgement and the temperament to responsibly handle that duty, IMHO.

As far as “what you’re gonna do”, I plan to stick around and KEEP MY INTEGRITY and refuse to be intimidated by bullies such as yourself. I realize that this is a private site and since I’ve NEVER been a “free rider” I financially help support the site by making monthly automatic donations (although my user name doen’t show up on the list of donors, possibly because they aren’t ad hoc donations quarterly donations but automatic).

Lastly, IMHO, you show some signs of having a narcissistic personality since you include many people as addressees in posts such as the one to which I’m responding (you know, “look at me, look at what I’m doing”).

Happy to help you out here. I'd suggest if you're unclear on any of this, take it up with the Boss.

I'll be sure to give your suggestions all the consideration they're due.
