Sen. Ted Cruz rained praise on primary rival Donald Trump Sunday, making a point to contrast himself with the many 2016 Republican presidential contenders who have been sharply critical of the real estate mogul.
Quite a few members of this field have attacked Donald Trump. A lot of folks in the media have asked me Ted Cruz, will you do the same? I have been glad to praise Donald Trump for speaking out boldly and brashly and for focusing on illegal immigration, Cruz said in an interview with POLITICOs Mike Allen at the Koch brothers-funded Freedom Partners summer conference in Dana Point, California.
Cruz added that there was a reason for his reticence to criticize Trump, referring to late President Ronald Reagans 11th Commandment against attacking other Republicans.

Trump’s been attacking Hillary.
“Still there is that pesky Ivy League education. I am still leery of that.”
I hear you, but let it go. There are some people (not many, I admit) that can go to those schools and still have their heads on straight when they leave. I went to ESU, one tier lower, entered as a flaming conservative, and left there as a flaming conservative - and had a lot of fun battling the left there.
And learned a tremendous amount - got to the level of Rush in understanding just who they are and what they would do to use if they ever achieved absolute power. It was scary.
I guess we’ll see.
"The hair too?"
Well, as they say, "Hair today, stone tomorrow".

I know. I did not say it was a show stopper. Just a worry. A worry triggered by BushClintonBushObama.
Trump is turning up the heat on der Hildebeast. I can hardly wait to see all the candidates go Beast Mode and kick her around the pen.
Donald Trump already has everything a man of 69 could wish for...money, fame, family, health etc. What do you think is missing from his life? If he gets elected, and can really change the direction of country, that would be a crowning legacy to his life, and my guess is that is what he is after.
Why would he give that up, to have everything he has ever said or done to be scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb.
I think it is out of fear of where this country is headed. Question his solutions, but I don't question his motives.
....”If he gets elected, and can really change the direction of country, that would be a crowning legacy to his life, and my guess is that is what he is after”....
Though that might be true in some respects I don’t think it’s his ‘motive’. If you go back into even his very early years he was actively involved in specific political happenings, how be it behind the scenes, and as much using his money to make things right he saw as wrong. Our Vets is one good example of that.
All these attempts to run prior also indicate he was interested but for whatever reasons of those times pulled out....this time he’s going for the gold...I think he’s frankly like most Americans...he’s had enough!
Yes, exactly, he has had enough and seen enough deterioration of what was once the richest and most powerful country on earth.
Could’nt agree more with you.
