Donald Trump: Ted Cruz An ‘Unstable Person,’ ‘Totally Controlled’ by Special Interests
Breitbart ^ | 2/15/2016 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 02/15/2016 11:19:37 AM PST by bkopto

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is going after Sen. Ted Cruz, calling the Texan "an absolute disgusting liar" during his town hall in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina on Monday afternoon.

"He's taken so much money from so many different people," Trump alleged of Cruz, saying he's "totally controlled" by special interests and lobbyists. "Bush, the same thing," Trump said, referencing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and then Sen. Marco Rubio, "Rubio, the same thing."

"They will be totally controlled," Trump declared.

"Ted Cruz is the most dishonest guy I think I've ever met in politics," Trump said, responding to recent attacks by Cruz that Trump is pro-choice, while Trump vows he is pro-life.

Donald Trump is an unstable person. Saturday night showed that.

Trump about NAILED IT there. The ‘self-deportation policy’ was a throw-away line when Romney had to get to the right of Huckabee (or someone like him) in Jan, 2012 as his nomination was being threatened.

He then backed away from it, said he never meant it, but the damage was done. The Hispanic Language newspapers RAN WITH IT, right up to November, and Romney had the WORST PERFORMANCE of any Republican in drawing Hispanics, probably ever. Since all of the whites also knew he wasn’t serious about securing the border, it didn’t help there either.

It was a TOTALLY IDIOTIC move and it cost him BIG TIME, maybe cost him the election.

'"He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal," Trump says. "It sounded as bad as it was

Trump about NAILED IT there.

If you say so. I support deportation, including self-deportation - but then, I'm a conservative.

I can’t wait to see it. This will solidify the impression he made on voters with his maniacal debate performance.

“If you say so. I support deportation, including self-deportation - but then, I’m a conservative.”

My point was that we had an Amnesty candidate that needed to get through the Primaries. NO ONE believed that Romney would do anything other than Amnesty...that was his mistake, and yes, he should have been CALLED OUT on it.

That may be your point but it wasn't Trump's.

This report from http://data.postandcourier.com/whisper-campaign/

Phone Call reported in Mt Pleasant 10 days ago
Paid for by unknown
Against the Trump campaign

SUMMARY
I got an automated poll about the Republican primary. It started out pretty normal.. but then the questions turned weird and asked if certain statements made me “angry”. One question asked how I felt about the fact that Trump is trying to stop veterans from running businesses in New York City because they are eyesores. I thought that was an odd question. I am not a fan of Trump.. but this was definitely trying to put ideas in my head. Whether they are true or not.. I have no idea.

There are more where this comes from!

Trump is a private citizen. He is not a sitting senator. The people who know Cruz best are the people who work alongside of him on the job. Are all the other senators RINOs? Is Cruz the only true conservative?

Rubio has endorsements from a number of senators. I despise Rubio and don't want him as President, but he is able to get some of his colleagues to endorse him. Surely Cruz can find at least one senator.

Oh yes, yes I most certainly do.

The only person who it is not an issue for is Cotton.

You are supporting a person who voted to and succeeded in flipping the constitution on its head.

And I am not kidding you at all.

Lodi, you are willing to vote for leftism. That you refuse to admit it is beside the point. You call yourself a “conservative” because you are SELF DECEIVING. You are also contemptible, IMO.


Nope. I’m voting to stop the invasion. I’m under no illusions that Trump is the immaculate conservative.

OTOH, You’re voting for a bought and paid for career politician willing to do the bidding of his big donors on big issues like trade (Obama’s TPA/TPP) and immigration (500% increase in H-1B). Would Cruz stand with Wall Street or Main Street in the White House? Sadly, we don’t know the answer to that question.

RE:”More Cruz supporters than Trump supporters on this thread. “

its the title and subject.

When Trump throws out these third grade Bill Marr type insults the Trumpetors either go:
“Right on man. Just what I want, a dirty fighter”
or “Ho, Hum, I don't care about this”

Post a thread repeating what Trump says yesterday and the petors will swarm in like ants to honey to imitate him.

Trump supports H1Bs for Mark Zuckerberg to send to Silicon Valley.

http://time.com/4091301/republican-debate-transcript-cnbc-boulder/

QUICK: Mr. Trump, let’s stay on this issue of immigration. You have been very critical of Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook who has wanted to increase the number of these H1Bs.

TRUMP: I was not at all critical of him. I was not at all. In fact, frankly, he’s complaining about the fact that we’re losing some of the most talented people. They go to Harvard. They go to Yale. They go to Princeton. They come from another country and they’re immediately sent out.

I am all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in Silicon Valley.

QUICK: So you’re in favor of-

(CROSSTALK)

TRUMP: So I have nothing at all critical of him.

You got ANYTHING better than a bill that passed 98 to 1? Cruz voted for it solely to delay sanctions relief on Iran. It was a heroic move.
