Exclusive: Ted Cruz's Warning To Donald Trump: "Policy Differences" Coming Soon
CBN ^ | October 22, 2015 | David Brody

Posted on 10/22/2015 6:49:14 PM PDT by Isara

In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Ted Cruz says he has a plan to begin highlighting, “policy differences” between him and Donald Trump. “There are plenty of policy differences and there may well come a time when we start highlighting those more,” Cruz tells The Brody File. “In a political campaign there are seasons and phases to it…as the race narrows down, as people start making choices, we may see some more policy contrasts.”

Cruz has been climbing in the polls and has the money to make a serious run at the nomination. He’s been courting evangelical voters since his announcement speech at Liberty University. The truth is this: Cruz needs Trump to fade to have a realistic shot. The Brody File contends that Trump’s biggest threat is not Jeb or Rubio. It’s Cruz. He’s going after many of the same voters as Trump and he has the credentials, intellect, debating skills and passion to really make a dent in Trump’s voter pool.

One other quote from Cruz during our interview:

“I think the sharpest difference between my record and that of every other candidate is that people are tired of campaign conservatives. They’re tired of people who talk a great game while they’re on the campaign trail but they actually haven’t walked the walk and I think people are looking for a consistent conservative.”

Watch the video at the link from CBN News/The Brody File.

In all honesty, I would wager that the Hufftards, DUmmies, and KOSkiddies are popping metric TONS of popcorn and delighting over our "FReeper Civil War" between Cruz and Trump supporters...

I don't think the libs have much to worry about from those of us here at FR come election time as we seem more divided than any liberal organization I have ever seen...

I’m sorry but I don’t read his mind.

Of course you do. Because you know he will do everything you think he said, even if he did't say it.

Anyone Who thinks knows that the rhetoric means nothing if they won't enforce the laws on the books.

then you’re a DemocRAT trying to stir the pot.
I have never been a democrat even though both my parents were but I am no longer a republicrat either.

Note my tag line.

Everything he espouses is delivered in terms of magic.

Magic is when the Republican win both House then vote to approve every program of the president before the new elects can take office. Now that is magic.

You do not believe your own eyes and ears?

You remind me of those 3 monkeys in Oriental folklore.
Hear nothing, see nothing, know nothing.

Heidi Cruz works for Goldman Sachs that is a documented fact and can not be disputed. Cruz is a globalist as demonstrated by his TPA vote. There is nothing left to discuss, The Globalist Cruz is in the pocket of the anti-American Wall street bankers. And check out his vote on the unconstitutional Patriot Act. Globalist all the way.

You’re denying the existence of the whole Pharisee-hypocrite-works righteousness dynamic.

That sure says a lot about you. That fault is a world-old fault.

Wow.

TC’s not looking too good there, is he?

I listened while I was doing dishes.

I’ll have to replay it to see if I heard him right.

In a nutshell, sounds like he could support Gof8 bill if only they raised H1B cap by 500%

Foreigners starting businesses that Americans won’t.

Maybe I just heard it wrong, but it sounds like the SOS we always hear from amnesty pimps but with a whole lot more big purty words.

I want to give the guy a chance but things like his own words make it very difficult.

If you don’t have the facts, pound the law. If you don’t have the law, pound the table.

Problem is, illegal immigrants and H1-Bs have busted up the table and are burning it for heat in homes the middle class used to own.

Cruz LOSES on H1-Bs. Period. He can’t make a case because there is none to be made.

There are more people on welfare in the US than there are people in Canada. Nearly HALF of all working age citizens are not working. 100 million of 215 million not employed.

The Chinese in China who are trying to bring China past the ‘copy it’ stage of their economic development were educated HERE. Not in Mumbai.

We have what it takes, here. Moratorium on all immigration for two years. Sort it out, send them home, start over.

If you watch that video you’d think only foreigners were capable of starting businesses here.

SMH.

I know Americans are better than that even if they did put obama into office twice.

Somehow I don’t think Trump is too worried about Ted. Right now he’s busy getting rid of Yeb and then Marco.

He can get rid of all of them as far as I’m concerned.

So are we.

Hubs ordered 2 each of yard signs, license plate frames and bumper stickers.

Someone already stole a yard sign from the yard. (We live in SF Bay Area-nuff said)

I put the other yard sign inside the front window so if they break the glass to steal that one we’ll just shoot them and drag their sorry carcass through the window to make it look good.

green = Good, RED = Bad, yellow = Mixed Ted Cruz Ben Carson Donald Trump
Budget, Spending & Debt green yellow yellow
Civil Liberties green green RED
Education green yellow green
Energy & Environment green yellow green
Foreign Policy & Defense green RED green
Free Market yellow yellow RED
Health Care & Entitlements green green RED
Immigration green RED green
Moral Issues green yellow yellow
Second Amendment green yellow yellow
Taxes, Economy & Trade green yellow yellow

Budget: Cruz has made massive financial deals, has put tens of thosuands of people to work, has run a billion dollar business, and protected a bottom line.  Next flight of fantasy...
Civil Liberties: Trump has said he'll round up and deport illegal immigrants, build a wall that is 60 feet tall along our border.  This results in his red marker on civil liberties.  No sale.
Free Market: The "FREE MARKET"...  Nothing in life is free.  The cost of this "FREE MARKET" has been tens of millions of U. S. jobs.  Trump wants to bring them back.  That warrants a red marker.  LOL
Health Care and Entitlements: Trump has proposed a private sector replacement of Obamacare.  He wants to reduce entitlements as part of getting the budget under control.  This red marker is simply proposterous.
Moral issues:  What moral issues?  Good grief.  Name one moral issue Trump has a problem with.
Second Amendment:  This is simply a fraud.  Trump has a paper on Second Amendment rights, and it's recognized as a good one.
Taxes, Economy, and Trade:  Trump's tax position is good.  His economic experience is second to very few U. S. Citizens.  His trade view are more solid than any other candidate's.

In Cruz's favor, his free market mark isn't deserved either.

Trump is the go to guy because of his economic experience.  He is solid on other issues as well, but second to illegal immigration, our national debt and related matters are vitally important and need to be addressed.  Trump is the only candidate with the experience necessary to do that.

Cruz supporters are pleased to drop this bomb on the forum.

It isn't an accurate display on Trump.  As such it's actually a smear on Cruz when his supporters tout it as a reason to support Cruz.  What they should be doing is pointing out the obvious flaws in this ranking.  And RANK is the proper word here....

Aren’t people allowed to changed their minds? That said Hillary most likely would have been better than Kerry.
