We fully expect Cruz to say that tonight at the debate.
Like most of Ted Cruz’s donors, I send a small amount.
Most candidates, including Donald Trump, solicit donations.
Donald has not spent much of his own money. That’s not his style. He does not buy ads, for example.
He doesn’t need to because the media adores him and runs everything he says for free.
He rents auditoriums and that’s about it.
Campaigning costs him a little gas money as he is so neurotic he has to fly home to sleep in his own beddy bye every night.
So, why does Trump still solicit donations?
Plus, you cannot believe a word out of Donald Trump’s mouth.
Unless, of course, you are a little trump.
If I were Ted Cruz, I would not believe an offer from Donald if it were notarized by a hundred attorneys.
If I were Ted Cruz, I would not align myself with a crooked, immoral manipulator, not matter what I was promised.
What are you drinking?
Sometimes I need to escape from reality also.
Why the derision and vitriol?
And, no, it's not just Cruz supporters as I have also seen Trump supporters do it.
FR has a very long tradition and culture of viciously attacking candidates...at least until "Jim makes the call".
But personal attacks on fellow Freepers have been generally frowned upon and diminishes all who engage in it.
Do not take an attack on your candidate personally! It will lead to you attacking a fellow Freeper.
Heidi has no reason to worry.
She is married to a fine man she can be proud of.
She’s not the fifth wife of a serial adulterer who will drop her if she gets a wrinkle.
Heidi is married to a man who will be President ... if not now then in four years, either after Trump loses to Hillary or after Trump wins and fails to do anything he promised.
Trump could not function well as dog catcher.
He would get really mad and start kicking dogs.
It is also hard to keep track of all the cheap shots.
I counted 31 at the last debate and a number of them were in multiple and he handed them out so fast that if I were to count them all he's got probably at least 50.
Just in one debate.
He shoves insults down people's throats in order to make himself look good.
Yeah, real presidential.
So he didn’t get the majority of delegates in AK and OK, ?
You have no basis for that ridiculous statement ...’Cruz run to GOPe’.
Trump is the one the GOPe loves. They love him because he will deal, and wheel.
The GOPe is deathly afraid of Cruz, the one man who has stood up to them.
I dunno, Cruz is pretty good at bloviation and prevarication himself.
Oh well back to wall street and the GOPe $ bundlers for him.
The tone for this primary season was set months ago. And by you know who.
You mean like Mutt?
Perhaps their friends at Goldman Sachs can front them another “loan”....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or perhaps, Donald Trump could float him a loan, just to keep him in the race, sucking votes from Rubio.
He didn’t have to pay them back. He used campaign funds.
Hell of a deal, yes?
Why are you conflating what I said with what somebody else said?
I don't know if Cruz is out of money or not, and have no issue with any commercial interest contributing to whatever campaign or interest they see fit.
My observation is that a POTUS campaign, if run traditionally, costs an enormous sum. And for most candidates that means institutional investment.
And, I contend, institutional investment is clearly aligning with Rubio and Cruz's ability to continue will be diminished by that.
Trump has always been stingy with his own money. He’s never given much to worthy causes unless they are named Trump.
He does not have to advertise because all he has to do is make another outrageous statement and the press airs it for free.
Why are we talking about money? I think we all know that Trump has money.
We also know that he didn’t earn much of it, that he inherited about the same amount he currently has.
He played with his inheritance, ended up filing bankruptcy and suing most of the known universe.
He’s an egotist who loves to name stuff after himself.
The Whitehouse would become the Trumphouse.
Of course, Trump could not sleep in the White House. He has to spend every night in his own bed in New York.
But, no worries. He can choose between the regular Trump plane or the plane formerly known as Air Force One, but now to be called Trump One.
Need Cruz around to jam Robot’s gears until after Florida; when Cruz is distant third and has kept Foam Boy’s numbers down, then we can flush the toilet.
Yes, it is now amusing to watch his supporters try to keep up an rationalize each one that he disavowed yesterday and thinking of what will be said tomorrow. There is an endless list of excuses to excuse the excuses.
Every heard of musical chairs? Well this is Musical Excuses.......just how fast can they cover what he just said, round and round we go, where he stops nobody knows.
""""He shoves insults down people's throats in order to make himself look good."""""
This is why he loses in Closed Primary States....True.
