But since you prove my point, by not actually being able (or apparently willing) to discuss the issues on logic or on their merits, I’ll leave you be.
Uh, if you want to talk about condescension, you laid down the first marker with this: "It’s true, that people who are not informed and not engaged in ANYTHING, tend to be less aware of what is going on and therefore tend to not be fully informed to make important decisions."
I'm not sure what your statement has to do with a willingness to talk about an issue, but I certainly don't want to engage with anyone who thinks I'm not informed and not engaged in ANYTHING, and then that I don't have what it takes to make important decisions.
go back to your cruz nook, the intellectual superiors are waiting for you.
This is just a preview of what the Dems would give Cruz in the general and Cruzers are totally in denial about this. The anti-Trump zealots have managed to put both Romney AND Bush on a Cruz ticket in the general. Dems have to be laughing all the way to the bank.
That’s a keeper!
It was basically Ted Cruz vs. The World- including George W. Bush-explains why GW has said of Cruz he "just doesn't like the guy"
Ted Cruz is who he is. He's been consistently conservative . Bush joining his financial team isn't going to change anything about Ted Cruz. He's the last man standing, who has any chance at all of beating Trump for the nomination.
(And I'll take a wild guess that the GOPe, Bushes are not overjoyed about this development.)
TRUMP/CLINTON TIES RUN DEEPER.
And somehow along the way, during his public service jobs, he became a millionaire.
It started two weeks ago with several former Jeb Bush campaign staffers joining the Ted Cruz operation. Then just days earlier, it was the high profile hiring of Jeb Bush’s brother Neil to help stem the financial bleeding of the Cruz campaign. Neil Bush is said to be the newly-anointed primary link between the old-guard, GOP Establishment fundraising apparatus, and the Cruz campaign.
And now today we find out Ted Cruz will be sitting down one-one-one with Jeb Bush himself.
lol
Team Cruz is now hoping to have access to some of those same Jeb Bush funding sources – namely the elite of the elite among the Republican Establishment. It is a scenario that has Senator Cruz indicating to this same establishment he is willing to forgive, forget, and most importantly to him now, take its money to further his own campaign.
You do realize Trump is attracting loads of people who voted for Obama last time, right? Were they “low information voters” then (a term Cruz didn’t actually use as you stated he did if you read the quote) or are they low information voters now?
It did not take long for Heidi Cruz to find her footing. She soon joined Goldman Sachs, where she was early to arrive each day and among the last to leave, impressing her boss at the time, Peter Coneway, who helped recruit her to the firm in 2005 and later recommended her to lead the office.
Coneway recalled Heidi Cruz’s thriving in a region where the money management industry was largely a men’s club.
As she built a network of clients, she found politics to be an icebreaker and her husband a willing partner at dinners with prospective investors. She would call on him to “help make the ask,” she said on a panel at Claremont McKenna in 2011. (Heidi Cruz told the New York Times, though, that she believed in a “separation of church and state” between business and politics and did not ask her clients to donate to the campaigns.)

About a week after Texans elected Ted Cruz to the Senate in 2012, Goldman announced Heidi Cruz’s elevation to its ranks of managing directors — a well-deserved promotion, colleagues said.

EXCERPT
Peter R. Coneway, Houston; Goldman Sachs & Co.
September 17, 2006
DIPLOMACY, someone said, is the fine art of allowing others to do things your way. Few progressions through life are as distinguished as that of Houstonian Peter R. Coneway, whom President Bush as appointed U.S. ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
Coneway, who founded the Houston office of Goldman, Sachs in 1975, leaves for Switzerland this week and soon will present his diplomatic credentials to the leaders of the host countries. He carries with him a long list of personal credentials earned over a lifetime of meritorious service that has made Houston a more livable city.
Like many appointees, Coneway raised campaign funds and garnered political support for the president who appointed him. What sets Coneway apart from some appointees is that he is not a newcomer to public service.
From Wiki:
“The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado’s failure and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous “breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest.” Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement.[5]”
That’s right. No crime. No fraud. Minor fine paid. Pffft.
You can’t help who endorses you.
You can help who you meet and plot with.
It was put into breaking by a moderator, not I.
If you have a beef with that, take it up with them, not me.
I did, that’s why I copied them in the response.
Also, it was not necessarily a moderator. Anyone signed in can raise an item to Breaking News by adding a topic.
I bet Hillary would take that deal too.
george w bush says he doesn’t like Cruz

and
“He is losing his grip on reality,” Stone said, according to Politico. “He has these yes-men around him. And now he’s living in a parallel world.” In the resignation e-mail Stone sent to Trump, the former advisor said he had to walk away due to the too many “controversies” and “provocative media fights.”
Ugh....that comment was made when his brother was running....
He offered no specifics.....
Yet he loved Cruz when he was part of his re-election team....
Convenient memory Durbin?
You just don't get it, do you? Who is Ted Cruz to comment on Trump's supporters? Trump has never said anything about Cruz supporters. google it - Cruz once said Trump attracts a "certain demographic". Cruz's snide superiority and holier than thou demeanor suffuses everything he writes or says, you just don't see it. But that's not my problem.
