Why would you want to send your Neanderthals here to Nebraska?
We already have more than we need! Lol.
Trump was on with Walice:
Ran over him like a bulldozer. Answered every question and then kept on going, condensed his rally speech into the space of the interview.
Mr Smart glasses tried to corner him on foreign policy, Trump responded with his traditional: “we are the policemen for the world and get no reimbursement whatsoever, we can’t afford it, we are broke” He named off many countries “Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia”.
Foreign intervention: “I said we shouldn’t go into Iraq, it would upset the whole balance in the Middle East, the same with Libya. Things are much worse since we went in there, we’re in the middle of a civil war that’s been going on for centuries”
Ha ha, suddenly the Sunday Morning drive bys care about Cruz.

9:01 AM - 1 May 2016
Now he won’t answer if the campaign is over after losing Indiana. He says he wants to steal it at the convention.
He did!
He said, "Let me finish".
Larri, Larri?
Wallace goes back to whether or not the Kasich/Cruz deal was an alliance. Cruz is not responsive, says what the Indiana voters want (jobs), and that he (Cruz) is getting endorsements from leaders, and naming of Fiorina has injected excitement.
Wallace beings up Carrier, and Fioriana's record of outsources. Will the Cruz/Fiorina team do the same thing for Indiana that Fiorina did for HP? Cruz says those jobs (HP) just moved to other states. Trump and Hillary are flip sides of the same coin. The reason Carrier moves is crushing regulation, and Trump plans to tax/punish Carrier, when the remedy is less regulation and lower taxes (this is a good argument).
Wallace says that Cruz team insisted on limited time, so wants to move on. Plays clip of Fiorina saying that Cruz says one thing in NY and another elsewhere. Cruz says competitors do that (Fiorina when confronted with the same thing, said is was a low blow made in the heat of battle).
Cruz says he's going to create an attractive business environment, low taxes, abolish the IRS, reign in the regulators, so companies will come in.
Wallace plays "Lucifer in the flesh" and "most miserable SOB", also refers to King and Judd Gregg remarks. Cruz says he doesn't know Boehner. Wallace says "he knows you, and you stopped deals Boehner was trying to make." Cruz says the reason these people don't like me is that Boehner was cutting deals with Obama and Hillary. Boehner, Hillary and Trump are all corrupt Washington insiders.
Last question, Cruz said in a release the Indiana was pivotal. If you don't win, is the race over? Cruz says nobody is getting to 1237, so the race isn't over if he (Cruz) loses Indiana. says Trump is frantic at saying the race is over because he knows he can't win a majority, and if you can't win a majority, you can't unite the party. Again goes back to Trump and Tyson (rapist, bully): contrast of Trump standing with Tyson vs. Cruz standing with Fiorina and Pence.
Watching now!
Wow. I consider you to an exceptionally thoughtful bellwether. Thank you for sharing your experience and action, and your reasons for discomfort with Cruz.
Watching Cruz (Fox) on Carrier leaving Indiana, he’s against taking any action. Instead, he says that Carrier will come back if he’s elected.
Cruz then goes on to attack Trump, “Insider”, “Frantic” and supporting “A Rapist”, in reference to Mike Tyson.
Thank you very much. I inevitably miss some important and interesting points, and sometimes my phrasing gives the wrong impression. I often post a link to the transcripts later in the day, they are usually available by early afternoon.
Cruz controls his appearances, and the drive-bys were interested in him all along. Cruz didn't want the exposure before, he wants it now.
I noticed this week that Kristin Powers is also wearing new glasses, and I can't decide if they are "smart glasses" to give her arguments more validity or "naughty librarian" glasses left over from a Halloween party.
Either way, there is a trend happening at Fox now. Or there will be, if Bill O'Reilly or Megan Kelly start wearing specs on camera as well.
Gettin’ mighty tired of Chris Wallace. And now George Will. Arghhhhh!
Nebraska is a very RED state, virtually every one of the counties. You'd die of political boredom there.
Rove is loving the Carly move.
Georgie Will is pointing out the phony poll that has Cruz up and ignores his own Fox poll. Speaks for 2 mins and says nothing. Finally has to admit when Trump wins Tues it is over.
Donald is awesome on FNC with Tucker the hot blonde whorerlado and the other guy.He dominates every where he goes.
Bray, I’ve never thought Rush dislikes Trump, but rather has a slight preference for Cruz. Ted is best able to expound the virtues of conservatism which has been Rush’s dream since 1988.
Rush admires The Donald because he’s mirrored Rush’s success by finally saying what we all believe, while upsetting all conventional political wisdom.
Donald may be squishy on some social issues, while Cruz is not. Cruz would win the Supreme Court issue, imho, which is second only to the fence.
Rush has defended Trump often, if even occasionally noting some holes in his pronouncements.
He’ll be a strong supporter, as will I, even though I preferred Cruz for the above reasons. In fact, Trump may now be the stronger opponent for Hillary.
Not to mention Rove and Wahn.
