Republican Cruz rips Trump, links him to Clinton
Reuters ^ | January 12, 2016 | Emily Stephenson

Posted on 01/12/2016 2:18:31 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz sought on Tuesday to link his rival Donald Trump to Democrat Hillary Clinton, saying it would make her supporters happy if the real estate mogul were to win the Republican nomination.

Trump had cited constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe in arguing that because Cruz, the U.S. senator from Texas, was born in Canada, he might not be eligible to be U.S. president.

"It is more than a little strange to see Donald relying on as authoritative a liberal left-wing judicial activist Harvard law professor who is a huge Hillary supporter," Cruz told reporters after a rally at a gun range in New Hampshire.

He said in the last couple of presidential elections, Democrats were able to run against the Republican of their choice, leading to two victories for President Barack Obama.

"It starts to make you think, gosh, why are Hillary's strongest supporters backing Donald Trump?" Cruz said.

But Trump supporters won’t list any Trump flaws (you think that makes them go away - poof?).

It doesn’t, it only makes you look rigid and in denial.

Then it’s on with the insults to Cruz supporters who are trying to state the facts.

This is pretty lame. I would not brand it as much of an attack. :-)

““That is nothing but BS. SHOW me where the mainstream media (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, FOX...) is praising Trump.”

That was really stupid of Rush to say.

Jesus, Cruz needs so many people to “protect” him, and they think he’s going to really get Hillary?”

______________

Indeed, VanDeKoik! Well, Rush is, afterall GOP first. I do not recall him ever discussing truthfully Club for Growth, Grover Norquist and other open border hacks.

Fact is, if it were not for Trump, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, including the media, Hannity, Levin or Rush would be talking about immigration or trade fiasco’s like TPA/TPP. You wouldn’t hear a word in the debates.

Trump listens. Evidently the ONLY one in politics today, other than Jeff Sessions, willing to put his ASS on the line to tell you the truth is Donald Trump.

He LISTENS...and evidently he listened in 2004, during the debates of the presidential race when Bob Shieffer of CBS stated that the most questions he got from the PUBLIC to ask the candidates was about.....

IMMIGRATION!

2004!
THAT is how long we have all been ignored, until Donald Trump!

SCHIEFFER: Let’s go to a new question, Mr. President.
I got more e-mail this week on this question than any other question. And it is about immigration.

(PS....if you really want to see what BSers both Bush and Kerry are, take a look at their answers in that debate to the ONE immigration question!

WHY would anyone do that? Where’s your post with some of Ted’s ‘flaws’?

Cruz saying he supports Article V convention.

Glad to hear that. I think Cruz should make this a hallmark of his campaign and bring it up Thursday at the debates. If explained well, and he can certainly do that, it would resonate very well with most Americans. Another "fed up with D.C. and here's what We can do" meme.

Cruz also ought to have Mark Levin with him at campaign events re Article V messaging. Would be a winner combination. Levin would explain it as only he can. . Think of the possibilities. . Would be a dynamite message. .

We the People would have some representation finally. . campaign ads, signs, again, if communicated well. Who better 'case presenters' than Cruz and Levin?

Donald Trump said last night that he probably holds a grudge too long. So there you have it! A Trump weakness.

I'm happy to see Ted fighting back but

“Cruz also deflected questions about his eligibility to seek the White House in the November, 2016 election, saying the legal question was settled.”

this is disappointing. Sounds like he's hiding something.
