Ted Cruz slams Donald Trump: ‘We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum
The Washington Times ^ | February 24, 2016 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 02/24/2016 12:57:22 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Taking aim at businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz said at a campaign rally Wednesday that too much is riding on the 2016 presidential election to get fooled by a showman that is more bluster than substance...

"We can't be fooled by P.T. Barnum," Mr. Cruz said, alluding to the late founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. "The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has past."......

And this is wrong in a showman? Trump didn’t write the book to tell people how to become President.

Things can be said in many different ways. The same attitude could be described as giving people a dream they can believe in so that we can work together to make it come true. Its only in your spin that it is deceitful. Trump is promoting his vision of what America can become and painting the colors brightly so that people will catch fire and work to make it happen.

Oh, Trump made plenty of money.

You buy a building and get a promote, acquisition fee, management fee, etc. Adds up on a couple billion dollars.

It was investors that got left holding the bag each time.

Why do Donald Trump "maniac supporters" applaud EVERYTHING that The Donald say or does ?


The response of Trump supporters DANGEROUSLY mirrors The Clintons.

When accused of anything, Hillary always says it's just "The Right Wing Conspiracy".

Always.


When Donald Trump is asked anything (beside just how GREAT he is) ...

Donald Trump and his oft-rapid "almost Brownshirt" supporters ...

say something like "they don't like me", "this guy's a loser", "this guy is retardewd", "this guy's not a Christian" ... blah-blah-blah ...

Almost Always.




I (at one time) posted many great pictures (like Trump as Washington with a smoking gattling gun) and complimentary posts about Donald Trump at Facebook and Free Republic.

Even as a Ted Cruz supporter.



The strategic problem that Donald Trump's "quasi-brownshirts" have is that you guys NEVER QUESTION Donald Trump.

Donald Trump threatens to (illegally) beat the $hit out of a rally protester ... and you LOVE it.

Donald Trump claims to me able to (illegally) MURDER someone, ... and you LOVE it.

Donald Trump calls Dr. Ben Carson a murderous psycho ... and you LOVE it.

Donald Trump calls Ted Cruz a "pussy" (vagina, in the most derogative sense) ... and you LOVE it.



Where does it all end ?

I'll tell you ... just read where Napoleon and Hitler got their @sses handed to them because they saw themselves a "mini-gods" and invaded Russia.

Donald Trump (God bless him for some of his GREAT ideas) is headed for his own WATERLOO ...

if he keeps his "bravo-sierra" up.



If you are really a fan of Donald Trump, then perhaps you can invite Trump to "put a Brooklyn sock in his mouth".

Good luck with that.



Whom the Gods Destroy ... they first make MAD (crazy) ...

A documentary by a self absorbed liberal about how golf courses damage the ecology and Trump’s golf course building inconvenienced the locals in Scotland? The film also looks at luxury golf resorts in general, how they damage the natural environment because of high water and pesticide usage, and how they often only serve the super rich whilst bypassing local democracy to please the developers.
OMG that’s it Trump is doomed.
Where is the kitty picture when I need it.

So attack Trump, deflect from Cruz’s support for AMNESTY? Nice try. Won’t work.

OMG this old dead horse again.

Your quote is from 1999 and 3 months later in 2000 Trump came out publicly and said he couldn't live with that statement on the record, he had thought as a man he had to right to speak out but that he now knew he had to speak. Trump at that time said partial birth abortion was wrong and should be against the law.

A couple years later a friend had wanted an abortion but instead the child was born and was the love of the man's life, in Trump's word's the best thing. Trump looked at that child and was changed, and has been anti abortion ever since. He will defund PP after he has learned how much of their business is abortion and has seen the video.

This has been published and referred to on FR so many times I cannot believe you are honest in being unaware.

Behold this Heart which has so loved men!

But with Jesus as your example you can find no good in Trump. Your charity of heart is stunning. You embrace enmity like a long lost son.

As so many have said, it won’t work.

Anyway, Trump’s strategy of NOT being too specific has a purpose - it is to not give people like Cruz, and more particularly Hillary, much of a chance to do anything but be nasty. It appears to be a winning strategy.

Meanwhile, Hillary has policy (failures) everywhere for Trump (or whomever the nominee is) to pick over like a vulture. As Trump has said, “she has many deep flaws.”

“But they didn’t. The company reorganized.”

Apparently you don’t know what a reorganization is.

Just for random examples of Trump’s investors getting screwed:

“Investors poured $32 million into it and are now told they won’t get a penny back.”

I think DT knows the great depression is on the way and he had to run to stop it otherwise he would have lost everything, but what do I know.
