RE: I do support Cruz’s stance on the issue - that wasn’t the point of my post. I was just noting that Cruz is flailing about lately in a desperate attempt to find something that Trump doesn’t own
Well if that were so, this thread does not show it. The fact is, he was SPECIFICALLY ASKED by Jake Tapper about this issue.
What else can he do once the issue was brought up but give him his thoughts?
It’s not as if he is making this a campaign issue, bring it up over and over again in his speeches ( unlike Trump who keep harping about the issue of Cruz being a natural born citizen ).
Trump ain't the only one and it will be part of the Dem's arsenal if he manages to thwart the will of the voters. He has yet to produce any definitive documentation - one would think he would have put it to bed if he had such available to him.
I get a sour taste when he says, "it's not stealing if the delegates disagree with the voters and decide to take the election process back".... Any doubts that it is the GOPe Machine that made it possible for so many delegates to jump ship and how, now that Trump is looking more inevitable, a number are expressing that they may not stay "jumped". The GOPe and RNC are removing some of the pressure because they are starting to understand what kind of pressure may be in store for them if they keep on with the plan to "not steal" the nomination....
Folks claim that Cruz is beholden to nobody yet he had a small cadre of big money folks driving his funding and even making matching donations for those that kept buying into all the emergency crises that his phone callers kept notifying us of. After over a dozen requests to be taken off their call lists, I still get 3 calls a day and some as late as 9 PM - and when told that I don't think Cruz is on the right track, they try to say he has a strategic and methodical campaign laid out to stop Trump (the will of the voters) - they are as tone deaf as he is. I started going "AARP" on them when they mail requests - I write a note saying "Get out, now" and drop it in the mail w/o adding a stamp or return address so they end up getting stuck with the postage bill.
OTOH, after making several donations to trump, I have received zero emails/mailer/calls asking for more money.
Just as Carly was a pander-driven move of desperation, a lot of his statements these days seem the same - especially as he promotes it as a battle of good vs. evil with himself as the presumed good one and has been telling us how Indiana is the last real chance for "good" to prevail.
He's flailing......
