Ted Cruz on Monday mocked Donald Trump's grasp of history and promised not to be neutral in a negotiation between Israel and Palestinians, something Trump has said he would do if elected president.
At his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Cruz started by highlighting a mistake Trump made during his own speech just minutes earlier.
"Perhaps to the surprise of the previous speaker, Palestine has not existed since 1948," Cruz said, drawing mixed laughter and applause from the crowd.

President Trump could perfectly well find suitable individuals to nominate to the USSC. He could consult with, say, Vice President Ted Cruz, if he was in the White House visiting Donald Trump.
How's this for an idea: after serving a term, President Trump will be getting a little bit long in the tooth. Having accomplished his policy goals, he could retire, and Ted Cruz could then take his turn for a term or two, enjoying the demographic advantages which would now accrue due to the GOP's "bug tent" finally having been accomplished.
This is one reason why the GOPe is exhibiting such profound ignorance with respect to its opposition to Donald Trump.
The GOP could become the dominant party in the country, due to the expansion of its demographic base, and the Democrat party would be relegated to minority status for decades to come.
The short-sightedness of the GOPe is truly breathtaking when one considers the opportunity they are trying to squander by opposing Donald Trump.
For 20 years, the GOP has been bleating about their desire to have a "big tent". Donald Trump is in a position to hand it to them on a silver platter, and all the GOPe can do is wax hysterical about losing their gravy train and all their perks.
What a bunch of treacherous phonies the GOPe are! The Washington Establishment of both parties really does need to be shaken to its very core. Nothing could be more important for We the People. Nothing...
It wasn't a smart move - regardless of brain power. It evoked memories of Biden laughing his way through a debate.......
I don’t know.
Fortune cookies— this is psychoanalysis FRiend. What the hell are you smoking?
Let’s take a look at the historical reality of arrogant braggart behaviour, not of the Beta-male variety. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Juan Peron, Napoleon.... a long long list.
And EVERY one, EVERY one exemplifies deep inner weakness which resulted in destruction of their own people, to assuage the weakness and exert the power. Constrast please, with the greatest of our Founders and our Presidents— the true leaders.
If you miss this, in your trite denial of reality made facile no doubt by the absolute emotional need to be led by someone like this. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
An opinion shared by Alexander Hamilton who created the Electoral College— because the average American in that day was felt by the leaders... to be too stupid. But they were willing to put these stupid backwoodsmen and women up on the front when they needed their firepower.
So fast forward to today, when Hitlery has advocated for abolishing the Electoral College and going to an internet plebiscite, capable of being instantly corrupted electronically, like obamaumao apparently did through a Spanish company (commie front).
So, we keep the College, to firewall that. And.. the voters in many cases informed by what just came over their cnn/salon/huffpo app i-phone— are dumber than sacks of rocks.
The ultimate example of what our Founders thought of democracy (Athenian style) devolving to dictatorship, and why we have (maybe) a Constitutional REPUBLIC. Deo Vindice.
Point was— please stop using “smart” as a basis. An undisciplined intellect is going.... literally nowhere. We lost people like Ike long ago, and it was the internal communist front that made sure the leadership supply was corrupted with the “new” liberalism of the Soviet era post Stalin into the 60’s.
We are revisiting the same tactics, this AM in Cuba with the little cuban commies carrying away the propaganda victory over a willing supplicant apologist in b. hussein obamaumao.
obamaumao was said to be “very intelligent”. The condition of not being well liked was not ever mentioned— but he was not as well... so point taken. With a very real difference— if in fact Cruz is some kind of fanatic Christian/Goldman WSJ amalgam— perhaps he can maintain independence- to the extent anyone can (and include trump in the fact that trump is NOT independent either— and whether one can support who supports him). It is encouraging to watch the old guard squirm— because assuredly, they do not want trump or cruz. We want to shut them down? Trump and Cruz need to get together and “make a deal” and shove this down the DNC and commies and muzzies... well, you know. BTW— Molly Pitcher is a heroine of our family. Deo Vindice.
Nato is the vehicle by which tactical nukes are in place in Nato countries.... and as such a target of much espionage.
Poland just got specific missile protection, following the Crimea/Ukraine expansion of Mr. Putin.
Dismantlement of NATO would be a desirable thing for the Putinites in the US... the ones dealing with the Russian mob.... hint.... they are in NYC, and live at the Plaza Hotel on 5th Avenue. Just saying.
YOu don’t sling around concepts like these, lightly or as a trial balloon with a wide net.
One who properly identified the two democrat candidates debating as the “Menshevik” (Bernie) vs. the Bolshevik (hitlery)”..... THAT kind of intellect we need against a
knee jerk uncertifiably “bright” obamaumao and his ilk.
Question is— is that position as an executive. Because the dismantling of the last 25 plus years of marching socialism will take a great legal mind.
Agree with you totally. Cruz and Trump need to unite— Trump and he make a deal... no stepbacks and strong.
The democrats relegated to nothing for decades, buried under the mass of financial and political power success in the country as a result of releasing the pent up hatred of the unweildy bureaucracy of fedgov.
Time for cool, strategic heads. And time for the old bull(crap) leaders of the gopeepee to excuse themselves— since they and the Gerald Ford/Rockefeller wing got us to this point. They will not give up easily, though.
While we have many of the same thoughts, i.e. disgust of the total Traitor Obama, we differ when it comes to “smart.” I consider intelligence is necessary in order to be a leader. What KIND of intelligence is the crucial factor. Americans have been, and continue to be, dumbed down because “everyone should be equal”... the Communist rule that sneaked into American education with the growth of the bleeding heart agenda and evident today in the bastions of our “most honored universities.”
“Smart” comes in many shapes and sizes. One of the most intelligent people I have ever known and a very close friend of mine was illiterate. His natural intelligence was exceptional and although he could neither read nor write, his mind was a mathematical machine, his social skills were extraordinary, and his memory was incredible. I would trust him with my life. He was a full blooded Cherokee who was forbidden to speak his native tongue when he went to school on the reservation. So he quit going to school.
I consider Ted Cruz lacking in so many things which I consider necessary to be considered intelligent, that I cannot see what, if anything, he has to offer such an accomplished man as Donald Trump. Mr. Trump can secure advisers who are much more worthy than Ted Cruz, so why should he burden himself with such an establishment politician? We know who has bought and paid for Cruz. We understand what he is REALLY saying with his forked tongue legalese. He is showing his true colors daily now and the mask is coming off rapidly. He is a believer in the NWO.
I will not support anyone who does not hold America’s sovereignty in the highest esteem. That disqualifies Cruz. Plain and simple. He lost his independence when he sold out to the Agenda 21. He is a Globalist, not a Nationalist.
Molly Pitcher’s story was taught to me along with many other heroic tales from American History by my grandfather. It has always been my nom de plume since I first started writing on blogs many long years ago. I’m glad there are places her name still shines.
Everything you said is true. Add to that the fact that Canada lived for free under the protection of our bomber wings SAC during the cold war. Trump is right! Ti,e for countries to start carrying some of the load and/or pay for our support and protection.
Appreciate your comments. The internal/eternal establishment does not want Trump or Cruz, so there is always that to contend with. While checking “who backs whom” make certain to note who came out against Trump, and yet not backing Cruz either— an important distinction in the tiny little world of the “club”... the one which thinks it runs all of us. I consider them to be holdover Tories (the ones who wished they could have been given minor baronies or House of Lords seats in the old Colonial Britain before our summary revolution).
The social climbing Bushes are an example. The Kennedys, whose scion Joe was appointed to head the Securities and Exchange Commission by.... FDR!(a irish mobster rummrunner/stock speculator— to run the stock market monitoring by the govt— wow). The media names over the years— the Tisches, Cronkites, Luce’s, Brokaw, Seagrams. The banker class of Federal Reserve theives making up their losses with taxpayer fiat: JPMorgan,Rockefeller,Aldrich,Goldman, Sachs, Brown Brothers/Harriman.
Keep in mind that all of these— these establishment people- will and have gladly financed the liberalization of the education of our children in public school, dumbing them down as future drones.
We used to do EQ emotional intelligence ratings on prospective executive hires. Trump and Cruz neither really shape up, for different reasons in this area. In our family’s employ we had several real geniuses who could not read or write, but exhibited incredible engineering/math skills and who also had social skills to match and communicate what they knew- invaluable people. Interesting your friend was a Cherokee who could speak the language, which has seen a resurgence of speakers able to read the Sequoyah syllabary writing. Lot of great history and knowledge there.
“Psycoanalysis?” And you have the audacity to call “arrogance?”
Even if you were credentialed, you do not know enough about Trump, twentieth century despots, or Founding Fathers to be tossing around diagnoses with any kind of ethical probity.
You are trafficking in the same pseudo-sublime platitudes and eisegesis bunny-men have been using to justify their fear and loathing of Rush Limbaugh for years.
I learned long ago, the difference between arrogance and confidence is the demeanor of the feminist doing the assessment.
I think we must be pretty close to the same generation. Perhaps I might have a few years on you but we see with the same lens in many ways.
I had the good fortune to be born into the “people business” which has stood me in good stead both here and abroad. I understand that the uniqueness in Americans derives from our “independent” nature which must be squashed in order to achieve Globalism. It is what will save us if the ashes can be fanned into a new flame of freedom. Believe me, Europe is looking to us to become “America” again....the shining city on the hill.
The ONLY candidate who will stand against the masses to protect our sovereignty is Donald Trump. All the others have already sold out to the Globalists.
I think often of Leonidas.
Trump was never neutral, he was trying to explain a few things about negotiating:
The two parties (Israel and Palestine) must ultimately come to an agreement if an agreement is to mean anything.
The opinions of a third party acting as a moderator (the USA) may be of utmost important to us at home, but can actually interfere with the process.
The appearance of impartiality on the part of a moderator provides an environment of trust, a level playing field so that both sides feel they are getting a fair hearing.
Without this impartial appearance and behavior a moderator can’t even get both parties to come to the table.
In the Republican Party, we force our candidates to publicly declare for Israel, in order to vet them as candidates. What Trump has said is that while he is 100% pro Israel, he would rather not be forced to declare this from a mountain top, because doing so will limit his effectiveness as a moderator and facilitator for any future peace deal.
He has also expressed his frustration in general about the way the US must publicly discuss and announce plans, strategies, dates and rules of engagement in front of the whole world, including the enemy.
In any case, I think he has now made it very clear that he is on Israel’s side, and I sympathize with his initial reluctance to be pinned down. The damage is now done as far as undermining his effectiveness as a moderator in any future peace talks.
The least Cruz and his Cruzbots could do is stop making the false claim that he was ever neutral. That’s not what he was saying and you know it.
“Its not arrogance if you actually are smarter than the other candidates. Its kind of like its not bragging if its true.”
Absolutely. But Donald doesn’t recognize that last word you use. What does it mean?
Exactly ...sneaky and slimy
Diagnoses were not being made— simply observations, based on recorded behaviour which one can see— ad nauseum. And not textual analysis of the holier than thou category. If you don’t like the commentary you can just disregard it- it is, after all supposedly dialogue. But it is certainly not “fortune cookie” bull crap. Lot’s of people with linear minds have apparently found the simple grunts of confidence enough to make a decision based on hearing what they want to hear. The world is simpler that way- it’s how we got obamaumao et cie. The elite are counting on it.
As for characters of history, the “despots” as you like to term criminal psychopaths— happen to have an entire library of (read) well documented works on the individuals, including psychological workups, from experts in the field (without any compunction about post mortem ethical probity-LOL). For example, a former much honored colleague is known worldwide for being the first to confirm the identity of the remains of Tsar Nicholas II and his family (less the boy and one girl) in 1992 in Ekaterinberg. Forensic medicine to accompany the forensic psychology. And the Founders as well. Deo Vindice.
I see the double-talk runs down hill among the Trump haters.
“Diagnoses were not being made— simply observations:” that laid claimed psychoanalytical authority.
Riots are the rioters fault, but Trump has some unquantifiable responsibility.
I know the guy that identified Tzar Nicholas’ remains, so I know forensic psychology...
WTF?
Your conceptual linkages are a joke. You make absolutely NO effort to present any kind of rival conjecture for your conclusions. What you are spouting is eisegesis by definition.
