Carter: ‘I Think I Would Choose Trump’ Over Cruz [Cruz is not malleable]
The Daily Caller ^ | February 4, 2016 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 02/03/2016 10:32:29 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Former President Jimmy Carter surprised reporters in London Wednesday by saying he would choose Donald Trump over Ted Cruz to win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, "which may surprise some of you."

Carter stated that given the choice, "I think I would choose Trump.... Trump has proven already he's completely malleable,” reports The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

"I don't think he has any fixed (positions) he'd go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he'd pursue if he became president."

Still, Carter feels Trump will "fade away" in the general election and said he will support the eventual Democratic nominee.

"Bernie Sanders has had a remarkable showing, particularly among young people," he continued. "In Iowa, he had 85 percent of young people. I don't know what the final result will be. My own personal opinion is that it's very likely Hillary Clinton will still prevail in the Democratic party. Of course, I'm a Democrat and I will support the nominee."

I think you have misidentified the target. But then, that often happens when you have blinders on.

Then put up a credible source. You and cruz have a credibility issue, you have none.

It's not a problem for Trump. This was only intended to manipulate the weak minded fools. I mean it's obvious, you'd have to be pretty weak minded for someone like carter to be able to manipulate you like he is.

Nothing wrong with Russia going after terrorists in Syria or elsewhere in the Middle East. It’s what they plan on doing AFTERWARDS that should concern the US and her allies. Like moving in and setting up permanent bases there as part of a broader mission to restore their former empire and then-some.

I like that. I want to get some for my dorm, but I’m kinda poor right now. I probably will try to get Franklin before Parliment and a few of Trumbull’s paintings once I get the money to get some nice prints.

Uh, Jo six chip, if you wanted a good source of muslim voting, what better source than Cair?

Your rejection of my post with automatic insults against Cruz without thought clearly indicates the quality of critical thinking of Trump followers. No information of any source besides a pro Trump one has any validity to you anymore. Your vote for Trump has icky religious tones. Perhaps a mirror check is in order dude.

By the way, Cruz had nothing to do with my post so insulting him for it is just your personal bias and proclivity to slander.

Personally I find it rather uncomfortable that so many Muslims would vote for Cruz. Note that I did not change the graphic to cover him, let the truth speak for itself.

There are plenty liars speaking for themselves.

I have the same sources you do. I happen to think Carter is telling the truth. You seem to thing he is playing a ‘reverse psychology’ dirty trick. I think he would genuinely prefer Trump. Maybe one of the few times he has ever made any sense. I also don’t think Carter has enough going on upstairs to imagine this as a calulated fibber.

My daughter was at Hillsdale and I sent her a photo of Ronald Reagan in a frame. She and her friends loved it. When she left for the weekend one time to visit her Aunt, a number of her friends offered to take care of Ronald Reagan for her.

Until you can secure a print make a color print of this:

I also find it interesting that a whopping 50% of Muslims will vote for Hillery, my guess is they know Humma is her handler, and figure Hillery has now converted to Islam.

After all, she lies and steals like one. In what way does her personal morality mark her as anything but Islamic? A point clearly taken by Muslims in America.

A point we should take seriously seeing her dealings with the Muslim Brotherhood.
