Beating Trump in Debate (NRO Delusional with Rage)
National Review Online ^

Posted on 02/13/2016 7:23:01 AM PST by Windy City Conservative

I have a little bit of advice for Cruz and Rubio tomorrow when it comes to defeating Trump. Some of the advice is tactical, but the more important advice is strategic. Attack Trump early, relentlessly, on everything, and never, ever stop. The tactical advice is that you should stop saying that Trump is for single-payer. That is too bloodless. Say that Trump was for a government-owned, and government-rationed, health care monopoly. Also try to work in the argument that Trump would give us the corruption of the Clintons with the huge government of Bernie Sanders.

When you have Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump all involved in a scandal that includes under age girls...Well, it would have to change the race.

“After reading so much vomit by this noobie, I’m convinced he is a troll sent here to keep the Cruz/Trump war going. All that will ensure is a victory for the GOPe under the banner of Rubio. He/she is so transparent it’s laughable.

It’s the same tired mantra of ‘Cruz is the one and only true conservative’ which in today’s climate, means spit.”

I must agree allamericangirl44

There is probably a 50% chance the Cruz's recent come to Jesus moment on illegal immigration, H-1b visas and Free Trade agreements that need to be stopped is fake.

I think the chance is at least as good that 90% of Trump's current conservative stands are fake, given statements from his recent past.

I’m not so conspiratorial regarding those who don’t share my conservative principles or my enthusiasm for the candidacy of Ted Cruz. In fact, like Donald Trump’s campaign, I see no substance or willingness to engage on the issues beyond petty driveby insults. I see no positive case ever put forward for your candidate, no legitimate attempt to address criticism beyond weak excuses, and it seems, seems, like a cult of personality. Ted Cruz has remained principled and fought not only Obama’s agenda, but the establishment leaders in his own party and you people refuse to acknowledge it or on occasion attack Cruz because of the hard feelings in DC to excuse Trump’s cozy relationship with his party’s leaders. Of course you agree with outlandish insinuations.

You are so far detached from reality that it isn’t even funny when you actually start labeling conservatives as “Reds.” When you have a thought, you get back with..

Well, for one there’s a big problem with the establishment in the Republican Party in the House and Senate that’s all too willing to pass Obama’s agenda for a few scraps, which is the entire reason why we need to elect Ted Cruz to represent us in the White House. There’s also a big difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. Your candidate hasn’t even hit the track preferring to sit in the bleachers albeit loudly. Thomas Jefferson and most of the framers were lawyers and Ted Cruz is the only candidate who’s intimately familiar with our founding fathers.

“He wins one primary and you think he is unbeatable.”

I said no such thing.

“This thing is going to go for several months.”

That’s right. America is not saved yet.

“And it doesn’t do a thing to engender the good will that it is going to take if Trump wins to go on sarcastically about “Cubans.”

I don’t want the good will of America’s enemies. Further, I am not being sarcastic. They are not eligible to run, and they lack the worldview of an American born and raised in America.

“I know how you feel about that.”

Why would you think that?

“We do not and we love the Constitution just as much as you.”

I don’t know what “that” is, but the only thing you’ve demonstrated here is that love for the Constitution is no safeguard against error.

Ted Cruz ran for Senate on a platform of constructing a wall on the Southern Border and a very detailed plan on his web site. With that said, I reiterate the fact that Donald Trump’s hotels were constructed by cheap illegal labor and employed at his golf course and his hotels in violation of the law. Ted Cruz supports requiring every business to use E-Verify. I fail to see how you think a celebrity mogul who actually uses cheap labor and only four years ago attacked Romney for his harsh stance on it will do anything to stop it.

Because I am an evil STEM worker and Cruz f-ed up big time playing fast and loose with H-1B visas wanting to increase them 500% then reversing himself. I DON’T TRUST HIM. But that is me, your mileage may vary.

“I don’t want the good will of America’s enemies.”

Do you include all of us who honestly believe Cruz to be qualified and support him the be America’s enemies?

They are almost irrational. NR=Davos...

Is that a reference to NWO? Or is there an actual ownership link I was unaware of?

My first guess is that NRO has been following the Manor Bush line of politics.

And if they’re not careful, some talk-radio “giants” could be joining them [TIME and Newsweak]

And whom did you have in mind, among the "talk-radio 'giants'"?

Talk to us.

[Rush]...didn’t invite the Clintons to his wedding (his third?)

No, but he attended Mary Matalin's wedding to Mr. Serpent Head (James Carville, sometime director of the infamous Klintonx "War Room"), they had a big party down in New Orleans. There's a video clip somewhere of them all strolling down the middle of a big street in the French Quarter, Rush smoking a big cigar.

I apologize up front... my brain is having difficulty to ‘read’ with understanding after learning about the loss to US of Justice Antonin Scalia... (I have a relative attending Oberlin presently) I could write a few paragraphs on what high priced college education consists of these days...

You certainly do a better job of using the language than I to describe Conservatism... = I am more of a ‘common sense’ Conservative... observing patterns people set.
