Like Donkey Kong. Ted Cruz scored a surprising third-place finish in New Hampshire in yesterday's first-in-the-nation primary, and now it looks like he's going for a knockout before South Carolina. Cruz tweeted out the campaign's latest web ad after his victory, one that takes aim at the winner, Donald Trump. The ad depicts children playing with their new "Donald Trump action figure," and says what he does most is "pretend to be a Republican"...
It's a tour de force of counter-Trump arguments. The ad manages to mention Trump's friendship with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid (and adds in a shot at Anthony Weiner, too). Bailouts and Too Big To Fail get mentioned, but it's Trump's support for eminent domain that gets most of the attention (video):

How can Trump stop illegal immigration when he has been talking about “bringing them out of the shadows”, “giving them a path”, and “making it possible for them to succeed here”? How can he stop illegal immigration when he supports touchback amnesty?
Then you shouldn't, because he doesn't.
You meant Kelo.
Lies.
Dave Winfield was drafted by four teams in three sports:
The San Diego Padres in Major League Baseball
The Minnesota Vikings in the NFL
The Atlanta Hawks in the NBA
The Indiana Pacers in the ABA
In the most recent polls, Cruz polls ahead of Hillary and Bernie; Trump doesn’t.
Which, I guess, proves that Trump can win and Cruz can’t.
Frankly, pretty much any Republican who’s not a complete bozo should be able to defeat either the crook or the Communist.
Read the links I posted. His career is built on government favors.
Trump received more votes than Hillary yesterday????
I agree that Cruz will use all the power “he believes” he has under the constitution. But unfortunately, a strict interpretation of the constitution gives the president and the federal government very little power.
Trump would do what Obama has done. Push through what he wishes by any means necessary, and let the courts decide what was or was not constitutional.
Yes, exactly. The perfect is the enemy of the good. A great photo of you campaigning for Ted Cruz will be cold comfort during the third Clinton presidency.
“ABT. Anyone But Trump”
So who do you prefer? Hillary or Bernie?
(-;
You are ASSUMING what Trump would do!!!! ASSUMING makes an ass of you and me!!!
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2015/09/the-donald-says-ted-cruz-eligible-birthers-wail/P> Donald Trump said, to ABC news: “I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape.â€
That comment is classic Donald Trump, basing policy on rumors. Nevertheless, while I am sure that not every attorney has checked the eligibility of Ted Cruz, a number of courts and attorneys have suggested that US citizens at birth are natural born citizens for constitutional purposes, and that includes the Canadian-born Ted Cruz.

Two former top Justice Department lawyers say there is “no question†Ted Cruz is eligible for the presidency, in a new Harvard Law Review article that seeks to put to rest any doubt about the Texas Republican.
“Despite the happenstance of a birth across the border, there is no question that Senator Cruz has been a citizen from birth and is thus a ‘natural born citizen’ within the meaning of the Constitution,†write Neal Katyal and Paul Clement in an article published March 11. “There are plenty of serious issues to debate in the upcoming presidential election cycle. The less time spent dealing with specious objections to candidate eligibility, the better.â€
http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/01/will-courts-be-willing-to-settle-ted-cruz-eligibility/ Professor Jacobson has opined on the question of whether Ted Cruz qualifies to be president as a “natural born citizen.†The short answer is: he definitely does. However, as Professor Jacobson also indicated, that hasn’t stopped Trump from attempting to foster doubts in voters’ minds about it.

Back in September, at the height of the Trump/Cruz alliance, Trump now famously said of Cruz’s eligibility, “I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape.†Oddly enough, not only have his feelings about suing Cruz changed since then, his feelings about Cruz personally have too. At the December debate, he declared that Cruz had a “wonderful†temperament after calling him a “maniac†in Congress a few days later and catching flak for it on conservative talk radio. Watch below and you’ll find him dismissing Cruz as a nasty guy whom no one likes. What changed? I need to believe that true bromance is possible.
What view are you trying to imply?
The eligibility question, on which The Don totally changed his view between September and January; healthcare policy, on which he seems to go back and forth between market-based solutions and socialized medicine (the reason Mary Katharine Ham asked him about it); immigration (on which he seems to have come down on touchback amnesty); abortion; and numerous other issues.
Trump attempted to throw a little old lady out on the street, and did get other properties condemned for his use.
Well, then, those polls must be invalid.
Are we arguing about what Trump would do?
Or are we arguing about how much Trump would be willing to bend the law to accomplish what he wants?
Because if we are arguing about what he would do, I am already assuming that he might only try to do 50% of what I expect him to do.
If we are arguing about how much Trump would be willing to bend the law to accomplish whatever he wants... I would say, what in Trumps demeanor makes you believe he wouldn’t do whatever was necessary to achieve what he wanted?
When you say Goldman Sachs, we know what you really mean.
Oh, and guess who ELSE is owned by them:
Bears repeating!
The “strong man” is itself a problem, if oyu place ANY value on the Constitution.
Ted Cruz has been one of the leading fighters AGAINST corporate welfare.
Donald Trump has been one of its beneficiaries.
