Cruz campaign aide: Trump running 'the Seinfeld candidacy'

(CNN)The national spokesman for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign is calling the Donald Trump campaign "the Seinfeld candidacy," because as he puts it, "The whole campaign is about nothing."

Rick Tyler told CNN's Erin Burnett that Trump says "nothing about immigration, nothing about job creation, nothing about what's going on in North Korea, nothing about ISIS. I mean this is amazing."

Tyler said Cruz is running a campaign about conservative issues and that Trump fails to discuss the issues because he isn't a true conservative.

Both Trump and Cruz are eying key primaries in southern states starting with South Carolina, which holds its primary February 20.

Tyler added that "Donald Trump's own worst enemy is himself." ...

This news article is about nothing. Just a baseless attack. Ted Cruz must be freaking out about getting crushed in New Hampshire. Poor guy.

And South Carolina and Nevada...

There’s Ted being that word that rhymes with wussy again. Having a campaign aide speak for him.

I don’t know what Cruz is talking about. Trump has a very nuanced and interesting campaign message....

Cruz is the best candidate. Don’t do a trump reply. Just sayin. :)

AS for the article, LOL at the title cause I never watched seinfeld either. Would be a good related survey question idea for those trying to find out WHY the DT phenom.

Just SAY NO to more empty platitudes! Let’s send someone to the White House who has a proven conservative track record so that we can be sure that the next president does what he says hes going to do when the Washington Cartel comes to him with their hands out.

That’s why I am voting for Ted Cruz in 2016!


Raphael hasn’t been a citizen long enough to have a “Track Record”...At least Mr. Trump is Constitutionally qualified to assume the office...

Cruz has brought up the totalitarian nature and mutual cooperation between North Korea and Red China since at least 2012, if not earlier. Indeed, it’s almost as if Donald Trump studied Ted Cruz’s positions and his RECORD, and set about a policy to one-up him, which I suppose sounds good to many conservatives, but which in reality is but empty rhetoric because Trump has no record to back up his words, and, as I have said many times, the record he does have goes in the opposite direction! I don’t know about you, but in a primary there is no way I will cast my vote for a man who has no political or ideological resume to back up his campaign promises. If I’m am forced to in the general that is another question, but not in the primary, no way.

You sound rather delusional, and broken record.

Be dismissive, I could care less.

What I won’t do though, is go silently into the night while we have a VERY dangerous individual being propped up as something he is not.

Donald Trump is NOT a conservative nor a defender of the constitution. His sole purpose is to win and gain power. Is that REALLY someone you hand the reigns to the most powerful nation in human history to...?

Trump is leading a “French Revolution”, Cruz, an American Revolution. With either one the Establishment falls, but it is the aftermath that is night versus day. Beware the pitfall of rejoicing when a new evil overthrows the old.

I don’t want to hand the reigns to a Jr senator. We already did that!

I’d take a Jr. Senator who believes what WE believe LONG before I’d take a statist semi-Marxist like Trump...

At least I know what Cruz will do. He respects the Constitution. I don’t have a CLUE what Trump believes based on the fact that he is so contradictory in his record and recent change rhetoric.

I agree, but the point I am trying to make is important. I could definitely have been more succinct, and could probably have made it shorter. Actually let me do that right now.

It is supremely foolish for fellow FReepers to attack each other, and only plays onto the hands of (1) the Establishment and (2) the Democrats.


Right you are. Apologies for my snippiness.

I have a heck of a lot better idea with his record of what he will do than I do with Trump.

Trump is literally all over the map on his positions.

Cruz is NOT.

Cruz is too young. He is not ready. No lawyers, no senators, no bushes, no Clintons. Go Trump! He will win in South Carolina.

I see you’re just ignoring the logical argument regarding Trump being the liberal he is.

I say no liberals, no crony capitalists, and no friends of the Clintons... Trump fits all three of those!

Trump draws a wdie swathe of his support from among the 10 plus percent of Americans who think Judge Judy is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
