Ted Cruz has taken more heat for his comments about “New York values†than he has anything else he has said since he was elected in 2012. Naturally, since most of the mainstream media is based out of New York, it has been high horse riding time as so many have gotten their panties in a wad over the comments. Ironically, they take more offense at what Cruz said than in Donald Trump’s blatant birtherism. Being a birther is cool now that it’s not Barack Obama who is the subject of Trump’s comments.
Unfortunately for Trump, who deftly (but at the same time shamelessly) evoked 9/11 as a means of responding to Ted Cruz’s comments, he cannot escape the very things he has said over the course of the last 15 years. Trump, as I have said on prior occasions is a charlatan. He is not a conservative at all. He is not now and never has been one. Outside of immigration (which is far more based on phony populism than policy), his views on taxes, healthcare, foreign policy and trade carry all the hallmarks of a progressive Democrat.

because he’s for partial birth abortion?
“I WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP OR CRUZ!”
Not surprising coming from someone joining up at Free Republic well into Obama’s presidency. Who did you vote for in 2008?
Oh they have underbussed pretty much everyone that does not kiss the robe with gusto 24/7. Barry’s zombies are pikers compared to the blind loyalty some of these people have shown.
Molly, can I call you Molly if I leave out sweetie?
Anyway that statement about Cruz and abortion is such an outright lie I’m surprised you were brave or dumb enough to post it.
So you are against free speech??
Even “liberal” Trump is a 1A supporter.
Ask her about her liberal meltdown yesterday where she didn’t deny her association to No Labels.
very bad comment about NY. i live in NYC
but the blind faith in believing a man who says almost not ONE thing he believed a decade or so ago is quite staggering.
expected more from this bunch.
Don't worry. Whatever position Trump has on any issue right now, he will change it. If you want him to be pro life, wait a couple of days. If you want him to be pro choice, just wait a few days.
Trump was a flaming liberal yesterday, he is a staunch conservative today, and he will be a flaming liberal tomorrow.
If it is "Change" you want, then Trump is your man.
You need to understand, firearms have nothing to do with progressivism, look it up.
That is correct, but Trump shamelessly wrapped the flag of the 9-11 heroes around himself when he needed to defend New York.
Not a dime of his billions went to help in the aftermath of the assault.
Talk is cheap and so was Trump in this instance.
This won’t have much effect. The reason is that Trump is the ONLY candidate out there who is willing to actually fight Clinton using her own tactics, and most realize that. The important thing is to crush both the Bushes and the Clintons, and Trump is the only one capable of defeating them both. I don’t really care what Trump was saying 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago.
Trump is Ross Perot with a bigger ego.
Every election the libs come out of the closet. This time someone sent a lot more of them here. Alexa has some very interesting info.
I noticed the number of comments at redstate are still nearly zilch; erick erickson banned so many people for criticizing him there’s practically no one left to post comments, and it’s such a lame, RINO, GOPe-shill propaganda website it wasn’t worth the effort for anyone to obtain another login id. Fundamentally, you’re only allowed to comment there if you agree with them or only very mildly disagree.
Already used it!!
What an asinine comment. Maybe the guy didn’t know that free Republic existed before then.
“...but not in light of a debate Trump is fanning the flames of.....(said the spider to the fly)”
I have a sneaking suspicion that Trump is the spider and Cruz is the fly.
There’s an old adage in show business - don’t get in a fight with the guy who’s holding the microphone... and Trump is holding the microphone.
Let’s all wait for Levin to twitter Cruz, as advice from a friend, telling him to lay off Trump and engage substantive issues. I will start holding my breath 3,2, 1.
“only true conservative”
One of my very favorite expressions here at FR; it means something different for each person who uses it.
