"Make America Great Again" Ted coined it first in this campaign video.

Donald Trump announced his run June 16, 2015.

Those words that came out of Donalds mouth, and then emblazened on those red hats saying, "Make America Great Again" Hmmm where did we hear that one before Donald came along????

Yep, it was from Ted Cruz months earlier.

"It's a time for truth, a time to rise to the challenge just as Americans have always done. It's going to take a new generation of courageous Conservatives to help make America great again. And I'm ready to help lead that fight."

I like Cruz, but that’s a terrible slogan.

I’ve donated my precious money to CRUZ and bought TRUMP gear from his store. I will be HAPPY with either PATRIOT! I’m going to see TRUMP in person on Saturday! If or when, CRUZ comes to my state, within reasonable traveling distance, I will go see him, too!

I’ve seen the Reagan pin. So what? The slogan is a legal matter to Trump, he thought it important enough to make sure he owns the copyright. Reagan probably did not copyright it, or if he had, it has probably expired. I agree it’s who cares, but the heading of this post is requiring this discussion.

Right around the time he gave a huge amount of money to uber liberal Terry McCauliffe to run for Governor.

Hogwash! It was Ronald Reagan back in the early 1980s who first said it. Trump and Cruz have both “borrowed” it. Trump did meet, knew and supported Reagan, which puts him closer to the source. However, none of these words are copyrighted; and very recently Marco Rubio even borrowed the words and told an audience he wants their help to make America great again. How? By bringing in more aliens from south of the border, would be my guess./S

Actually, Sen. Cruz was promoting the wall when trump was ragging on Gov. Romney for being too mean to illegal immigrants when Gov. Romney had suggested that illegal immigrants would self-deport for economic reasons.

Ted must have read Trump’s book, “Time to Get Tough - Making America #1 Again”, published in 2011.

There is a whole chapter saying what he is saying now about the wall and illegal immigration.

Ted is tragically out of sync with the rest of us.

Hope he likes the Senate...

And they both got it from Ronaldus Magnus. I have the campaign poster to prove it.

Whoever used it first, it sure became the best phrase of the year with even M. Rubio using it.

I’ve received half a dozen emails in the last two days from the Cruz crew begging for money to fight the attacks.

I’ve unsubscribed but still keep getting them.

I preferred the Christmas card I received from Trump. He didn’t ask for anything.
