Trump strongly supports the Constitution and says so all the time. Wheres the beef?
*******************************
Guess that explains why he wants to ignore the 1st Amendment in re free speech and instead permit public figures to sue anyone who makes a critical or demeaning statement against them (himself). ....Result = no more freedom of speech.
I know that will never happen, but that is what Trump said he would do.
Are you claiming to have “direct quote” from Cruz where he says he “single handedly” defended the second amendment? Are you claiming he used that EXACT PHRASE?
What do you call someone who makes false claims?
Video 1: This was Cruz’s “No Path to Citizenship” amendment that gutted the Gang of Eight and eliminated the 12 Million Instant Democrats provisions of that bill. This was a poison pill that Cruz rightly predicted would kill the bill. This is what winning looks like.
Video 2: This was also part of the Gang of Eight debate, where Cruz was offering temporary H1B visas as an alternative to broad amnesty. This was another poison pill, because what the Democrats (and Marco Rubio) wanted was 12 Million Instant Democrats, and H1Bs can’t vote. Again, this is what winning looks like. The amendment failed, and so did the Gang of Eight.
Video? 3: No video here. But I am a free trader, so you aren’t going to scare me off with TPP.
Video 4: This is not so much a discussion as a quick cut to two sound bites from the very first days of the Syrian crisis. In the first bite, Cruz talks about historic immigration and quotes Emma Lazarus. In the second bite, he talks about the need to thoroughly screen the refugees. I thought this was the universal position. Trump’s position is that screening is impossible, so all Syrian refugee immigration must be stopped. This is not incompatible with Cruz’s position. They just disagree over if screening is possible. As a first response to the problem, Cruz was right on the money advocating small numbers of well-screened immigrants.
If these four are the best you can do, you ain’t got much!
...What do you call someone who makes false claims?...
Ted Cruz, According to the State of Iowa...
‘’There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting,Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate said.’’
‘’I will apologize to no one for using every tool we can to encourage Iowa voters to come out and vote, Cruz said.’’
And, Ben Carson says Ted Cruz too.
I do not need much. Cruz has been already rejected by voters. He has no chance for nomination since he needs to win 85% of remaining delegates.
And based on his likability factor, no way in hell with the GOP elites will pick him in an open convention situation.
Cruz’s biggest problem in my opinion is his likability factor. It is certainly not his stand on various issues.
When did the Harvard trained lawyer turn into a conservative?
- In 1998, Cruz served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehners lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.
- Cruz joined the BushCheney campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising President George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. There he met his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, another policy adviser who works for Goldman Sachs.
- Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, winning twice in the U.S. Supreme Court.
- After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
Globalists are not conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore hes not a conservative.
Would a conservative help draft Bushs NAFTA bill?
Would a conservative vote FOR the patriot Act?
Would a Conservative team up with Ryan to push TPP?
would a conservative vote FOR TPA?
would a conservative try to increase H1B visas by 500%?
would a conservative try to double the number of Muslims?
would a conservative side with BLM protestors against police?
would a conservative hand out gift baskets to illegals at the border?
would a conservative lie to his supporters about the fact the GOPe is providing his delegates and he will not win nomination?
WHAT EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT TED CRUZ

Bush (43) wouldn’t have Conservatives working for him? Give me a break!
It appears a majority of the Republican voters want a contested convention. Otherwise they would vote for Trump.
Reagan supported:
-liberalization of abortion
Being orange is not conservative, it is a Dutch Olympian.
Trump was once in favor of partial birth abortion. bout 10 year ago. Didn’t even blink.
If only Reagan had twitter he would have been a better president.
Outstanding comment!
Outstanding comment!
In the near term there's the problem of paying down on the national debt of $20 trillion. Then there's the build up of our weakened military.
But rest assured that Trump will do plenty to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government.
One sign that Trump will fight the Washington cartel is the low votes he received in Northern Virginia and DC.
And Trump was also about a million miles away from understanding a lot of other things too. Happily, his ignorance did not last forever.
Ben Franklin was hella prescient.
