GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt that “the simple and undeniable fact is the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats” during an interview on Monday.

“What is badly needed, is for the GOP to bring back jobs to America.”

It was the GOP’s free trade economic policies with mercantilist nations that resulted in America’s jobs leaving. George H.W. Bush was the father of NAFTA and aggressively pursued a policy of opening up US markets to China. The Republicans in Congress during the Clinton years supported final passage of NAFTA and the WTO. Plus they drafted and passed the legislation to rescind the depression era Glass Steagall law that separated commercial banking from investment banking an action that resulted in the formation of “too big to fail” banks. Bush’s son George W. pushed CAFTA, and other “free trade” agreements.

The GOP is controlled by multinational corporations and the Wall Street banking cartel. Its masters are globalists, not Americans. It will not take action to bring back jobs to America. Too much money is being made outsourcing US manufacturing and US jobs.

Stating the OBVIOUS, we’ve been saying stuff like this for decades. But we should all ask when was the last time that OUR POLITICIANS talked like that? (hint: it was before Trump)

Also, considering that felons are 90% Democrat, it is really in our interest to give them voting rights? Which seems to be an obsession with Rand Paul and some other Republicans.

[zwerni]

How controversial !!!

[Vaquero]

And come next year,look for that base to STAY HOME.

I hope so and I think so. We can't rest on our laurels though.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yes!!

[drpix]

"And democrats want them all to vote."

And you also "nailed it."

The Democrats would not be pushing voting rights for convicted felons if they would be Republican voters...

No more than they would be pushing Amnesty for illegal aliens if they would be Republican voters.

[McGruff]

If the media wasn’t obsessed with Trump they would be making this sound like Cruz is a racist. I’ll bet they put into their saved box just in case.

[Cowboy Bob]

Do you have facts to refute what he said?

[euram]

Anyone looking at demographic info, crime stats, and voting patterns, can safely conclude that the most violent cities are all dominated by democrat administrations, and overwhelmingly vote democrat during elections. Although, the violent criminals are probably not card-carrying members of the democrat party, when they do vote, the vote democrat. Although, I must add that most of the violent criminals probably are convicted felons who don’t have the right to vote, but if asked, most would most likely express support for the democrat party and all of its handouts.

[ScottinVA]

Aaaaannnd.. he’s right. Were they Repubs, the dems wouldn’t be pressing so hard to restore voting rights to felons.

[Servant of the Cross]

And liberal heads explode .....

There is Free Trade, and then there is, as Trump puts it, Fair Trade.

He has a more than 40 year track record of being very successful in negotiating trades that have made him wealthy.

Now he claims he wants to do the same for America, make all of America wealthy, and that he has people lined up who can help him do that.

Many don’t believe him, you may be among them, that’s OK.

I do believe him, and am excited that years and years of inept politicians betrayals may get overturned.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

100% right beside you.

Trump is the only person, ready to fight for America, about bringing back jobs to our country.

The only one.

[TexasRepublic]

No surprise. The Dem party is usually on the wrong side of any economic, social or moral issue and it attracts maladjusted people - criminals, crackpots, perverts and free-loaders. Why any professed Christian would identify with that platform is a mystery to me.

[Pollster1]

There are three groups of violent criminals:

(1) Ordinary criminals who commit violence directly on their own behalf because they think they are entitled to take from others,

(2) parasitic voters who delegate that violence to corrupt government because they think they are entitled to take from others, but they are too wimpy to take on their own, and

(3) liberal politicians who take on behalf of their voters because they enjoy being thugs and don’t care whether they are taking for their own benefit or for the thrill of controlling others.

And, all illegal aliens are CRIMINALS, but Cruz still doesn’t want to prosecute and deport.

Sorry, Mr. Cruz, you can’t have it both ways; as if your TPP vote to sell out America wasn’t bad enough...

Still, it will be fun to watch the Leftists head exploding.

I asked him once about the politics of convicts, he said that it was mostly like it is on the outside, that mostly older cons tended to be conservative and the younger ones liberal.

I expect the majority of those "older cons" were liberal when they were convicted.

With age comes wisdom... sometimes.

What I like best about Trump, besides his immigration stance, is the fact he’s coming from the private sector.

I spent 36 years working 50-100 hour work weeks for the Titans of the computer industry along side some of the most talented people you can imagine. Mr. Trump seems to bear the hallmarks of those whom I once called colleagues.

(one of which made the word “computer” a household name!)

[Westbrook]

> Do you have facts to refute what he said?

Cruz is the one making the assertions.
Cruz is the one who needs the facts.

[NKP_Vet]

Why are no conservative NRA members involved in mass shootings?

Curious, isn’t it? So I was thinking, maybe we should just make it illegal for Democrats to buy guns?
