Smug Cruz – The Full Recording of Ted Cruz Comments About Donald Trump and Ben Carson… Posted on December 11, 2015 by sundance A couple of short points (because the focus needs to be on his words) about this recording. Initially, when questioned Cruz denied the statement. Secondly, when questioned again by Megyn Kelly (last night) Cruz refused to take ownership of his words. This is a pattern, a long, historic, and very specific pattern. Pay close attention to his words.

Here’s the full audio as referenced in the New York Times article (click orange arrow):

They’ve been anti-Cruz from the start.

[Timber Rattler]

This is a pretty big red flag right here...

[annieokie]

THANKS

[Timber Rattler]

Some of his supporters have become irrational.

Did you see last night's thread where they thought his "executive order" to give the death penalty to cop-killers was A-OK?

[Pajamajan]

"I like a lot of what Sundance has done but this attack on Ted Cruz (smug?!) is just personal crap. Alinsky. Beneath consevatism.".

Agreed. The Treehouse may not be so conservative after all.

[chris37]

What it looks like to me is a pretty big overbite.

Beyond that, I refer you back to my original post to you.

[cuban leaf]

I just wasn’t paying attention before.

[Calpublican]

He has said this before. Nothing new and he wasn’t “smug”. It was not secret and he wasn’t “caught”.

So you don’t have to click Conservative Treehouse:

I think our country's best survival plan would be for Cruz and Trump to work together...

Then we're in trouble.

This is the Republican primary. Every candidate is out for him/her self, as it should be.

“The Conservative Treehouse is rabid pro-Trump.”

That explains the contents of the article vs the contents of the recording. Cruz said nice things about trump and carson and then described a solid strategy for winning the nomination. I don’t find anything offensive or inappropriate about this recording at all.

The left will hyperventilate about the nice things Cruz said about Trump. But I can’t imagine a conservative that finds anything wrong. But it’s a campaign and it’s the silly season for Trump supporters I suppose.

[JEDI4S]

Nothing to worry about there. No GOPe one/new worlders are going to get near the nomination despite the best efforts of those at the closed door meetings with Rancid Pubies.

Cruz doesn't “own” it because he knows the media almost as well as Trump does. He is aware that they will do anything to cause a rift in what appears to be the most powerful political tag team the left has seen in a very long time.

Cruz and the Tea-Party/NRA/Evangelicals and Trump and his loyal and growing in number supporters.

They would be unbeatable as a pair. Cruz will do whatever it takes to keep that coalition together...even take a few hits like he is now. The Force is strong with us.

The oligarchs and their wretched allies and apologists will long be remembered should they be able to somehow stand in the way of the change that is so desperately needed in this country.

Rancid Pubies and the GOPe have been warned!!!!!

.


The "feud" between Donald Trump (whom I admire) and Ted Cruz (my choice) is a totally manufactured MSM-GOPe-RINO fabrication.

Qui Bono ?

Jeb Bush.

Meanwhile, Ted and Donald are enjoying the extra news coverage ...

[billyboy15]

Please quote me words attributed to Cruz which are seen as an attack.

I listened too clip twice and heard nothing of an attack.

“Did you see last night’s thread where they thought his “executive order” to give the death penalty to cop-killers was A-OK?”

That is already law in most states, certainly in Louisiana. You can now unwind your panties.

And yes, I am A-OK with cop-killers getting the death penalty. As I think that punishment should be meted out to all murder. That was the first law God gave to Noah after he climbed out of the ark.

[Timber Rattler]

"That is already law in most states, certainly in Louisiana."

That a president can issue an executive order just like a king or emperor and have a cop-killer executed, which a state and local function, unless a federal crime has been committed? Nonsense!

And yes, I am A-OK with cop-killers getting the death penalty.

That's not the issue. The issue is Trump's authoritarian streak and his ignorance of the Constitution.

But, hey, his rabid supporters apparently do not care about those things.

[LALALAW]

Are you serious? Don’t bang on an honest man because you like someone else.

[fg566asd]

You mean like cruz’s amnesty support and TPP flip-flopping?

I’ll take that over palling around with the Clintons...

The only thing I saw was the Cruz campaign deny that they questioned Trump's judgment. From the transcript, I'd have to agree with them. Ted's comment was that the recent events will cause voters to consider both strength and judgment as they vet the candidates, and that would be a challenging question for the candidates. That is hardly a vicious attack on Trump OR Carson. About the only "smug" statement was relating to the fact that the media can't get him to attack the other candidates, but he smothers the other candidates in love instead - but the smugness was directed at the media, not at the candidates.

[CA Conservative]

That is already law in most states, certainly in Louisiana. You can now unwind your panties.

I think the concern is the idea that Trump thinks he could issue an executive order to the states requiring them to impose the death penalty in such cases. (And there are about a dozen states where there is no death penalty at all.) We have one president trying to bypass the Constitution via executive order already - we don't need another one.
