Ted Cruz Says Donald Trump's Voters Have "relatively low information" And Are "not that engaged"
CBN News ^ | March 10, 2016 | David Brody

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:23:01 AM PST by VitacoreVision

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that the reason Donald Trump is performing well in the GOP race for president is because his voters are uninformed and not engaged in the process. “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.” Hunch: I’m thinking Trump and his “Silent Majority” may push back on this just a bit don’t you think? Lots to unpack here but for now, here’s the clip.

Our interview was done Wednesday afternoon in Miami.

Yeah, I don’t follow how insulting Trump supporters is a way of “getting” them.

” Oh, I follow the money. The money that Trump gave to Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charlie Rangel, Anthony Weiner, and Rahm Emmanuel. “ *************

You see what you said there?

In the case of TRUMP, he was “giving” the moolah. That’s a hell of a lot better than CRUZ..... RECEIVING THE MONEY.

Get it?

Right-O. Heidi on the perch, high above the little guy, the low info crowd.

Yes, Heidi teams up with the big leagues to play paddy fingers with not the labor union of America, but the NORTH AMERICAN UNION of the globalists.

Go figure the difference, here. Thx, Toll.

But of course Trump supporters are going to twist it, and get their panties in a wad.

Isn't that what you are doing here is twisting Trump's words? You fail to provide the whole quote but several have here already done that but I noticed several of you have attempted to twist what Trump really said.

The title is not accurate.

Cruz said, “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.”

He *didn’t* say that all of Trump’s supporters have “relatively low information.”

did you order it from Trumps site?

Good for you! Where it with pride. I just watched the video with Trumps ex butler. Gives a warm feeling about Trump and the people around him.

Because insults are just fine when it’s your guy doing it.

Guess we’re enemies now.

And so, you may prepare yourself for a torrent of scorn, gloating and mockery of your holier than thou hypocrisy.

You brought this on yourself.

“It’s funny to see all of the Cruzbots rushing to his defence on this thread. They have become unhinged. “

SOME of them are just as snotty and self-righteous as Cruz is.

I'm late to this hullabaloo, but it sure enough seems to me that candidate Cruz has managed to inelegantly insult the millions of Trump supporters and would be Trump supporters with his arrogant and wrong-headed diagnosis!

"Not that engaged." LOL. Look at the attendance at Trump's Rallies! That's engagement!!!

"Relatively low information." LOL. Self-funding, successful businessman vs one term US Senator funded by PACS, lobbyists, #neverTrump and that's just for starter's.

Yeah, it says a lot more about someone in how they handle their own money. It shows me where their priorities lie. A man who gives more money to the Clinton Foundation than the Veterans he claims to care about, tells me all I need to know.

Trump doesn’t even know whats on his own “policy papers”. With trump supporters it never gets past the insults and name calling.

Again, can you give an example? This is the second time I’ve asked you to give examples of what you accuse Trump of doing. Can’t you back it up? Is Trump contradicting his policy papers? Which one? You brought up the subject of wanting to have substantive policy discussions, start one.

You can’t do what you demand others should be doing. There’s a word for that.
