McCain and Romney had much bigger problems than an unwillingness to rumble in the mud with the likes of Obama. Cruz doesn't share those same problems.
And that will give people a reason to vote for Cruz because...
*************
He’s smart?
I was in a meeting in with the Romney staff, where I presented by ad ideas targeting Obama for his illegal alien Aunt on welfare and Uncle who had a DUI, neither of which were being deported. My ad scripts focused particularly on how Obama was then worth over $12 million, yet refused to send his welfare Aunt a dime. Obama aides also claimed he hadn't met her, but we had pics of her at his first inauguration.
The first staffer LOVED the idea, and it got to the final stages...when Romney's campaign manager VETOED the idea, calling it "race baiting". And right then I knew Romney would lose. He also shed his tough talk on immigration as well. White voters he could have rallied to his side stayed home instead. Meanwhile, the liberal dirty tricksters planted hidden cameras in Mitt's private meetings, leading to the disastrous "47%" video. Trump will do whatever it takes to destroy Hillary. Looks like Cruz won't.
We have a difference of opinion. I do not think that this decision automatically implies that Ted Cruz is being “politically correct.” Again, I think he is taking a wise road.
Whoever doesn’t think of bill and his antics from bimbo eruptions to selling secrets to state enemies to getting impeached and disbarred is not at least half of this team is simply not paying attention
Anyone who says he is or anything tlated to Hillary is off limits loses right then and there
This is playground rules
Anyone who doesn’t get that at least for the metaphor needs to see ‘bells of st mary’s’. Sister Bernadette PURCHASED boxing gloves to help the more virtuous contender. Oh, and stood in the background to let it play out properly
Which comment does Trump agree with? That matters more than what I think.
No moaning about “bullying” here, so count me out on that one. As for Trump, I find his reality-show bit kind of entertaining. The question is... does The Donald mean what he says any more than he meant what he said when his policy positions were so much more aligned with the democrats?
Geez. Quite possibly the most ridiculous statement ever uttered next to Trump is better than George Washington.
Had he responded and the media raked him over the coals you would have said he got suckered into it and can’t handle the media so he will not win.
Focus on the issues, not the past.
If the “affair” between Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinski happened in the private sector, Clinton would have lost his job! To be an intern in the White House should be a great experience for a young adult, instead Clinton the sexual predator abused his power! He ruined her life. They probably paid her a lot of money to agree that the affair was consentual! How would she have been able to support herself or be taken seriously! We don’t need to put the sexual predator back in the White House! Hillary should have divorced him or the very least legal separation. If the democrat/marxists start that war on women crap, the Clinton’s, democrats and media lap dogs are the deserving of the name!
Two words....Orgy Island.
I believe I see WHY you make that statement.
This is how he operated in the Senate and every time he tried to stand in the way of blocking something he ended up be compromised and run over.
That's the last thing we need in a President if we ever hope to turn this Country around.
It appears Ted doesn’t need any help here - he is painting himself as “weak” at least in the sense of observing a certain political correctness and what would seem to be bad advice from his handlers.
Cruz needs to get into the WH as VP and then walk into the presidency from there - much less hand-to-hand verbal and personal combat that way.
Well, the decision certain complies with what the Left would call out-of-bounds (the Left thinks only the Left can do this kind of stuff) and it appears to be the result of bad advice from his politically-concerned handlers. Right-wing politically-concerned handlers always avoid truth-telling about the Left.
Americans want someone who will go toe-to-toe with these SOB’s and not give them any kind of free pass, the way so many right-wing politicians have done over the years. Hillary and the Left are enemies of America and our free constitutional republic way of life. Cruz is not only relinquishing weapons that can be validly used against these scoundrels, but he’s witlessly telling the enemy what he’s going to do. I see no wisdom in that at all.
The last one to really skewer the Left was Reagan and America loved him even though the Left AND the GOP hated him. We need a champion to crush the Left and expose them for who they really are - liars and hypocrites.
Well, that worked swell for Bush and Dole.
It worked so well McCain and Romney tried it. How did that work out?
This is one of the reasons I think Ted's not ready for prime time.
Bill’s activity from 20 years ago is still on the table because HE GOT AWAY WITH IT. He lied to a federal grand jury, got impeached and didn’t resign. The dirty deeds of the Clintons, even going back to cattle futures are important for the current generation to be aware of.
Yep. All that needs to be a part of the process if Hillary is the challenger.
He’ll use all the weapons..... while publically takes the high road. I like Cruz and his values... but he is a SERIOUS politician..... make no mistake. He is not an amateur.
Those victims could form the equivalent of the Swift Boat Veterans and that could cause no end of trouble for Hillary as she has to explain why she threatened all these people.
