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.

“Even as a kid he was a smug little terd.”
Eleanor Cruz
Amen!
How do you measure intelligence though, in this circumstance? Rafael might be book smart and well-versed in the minutia of policy details, but Trump has horse sense and is a big-picture leader who empowers people.
Rafael is not a natural leader and it shows by his sucking up to the GOPE.
Which primaries are you refering to the open ones that dems are flooding over to choose our candidate for us? You really think those dems are going to vote for him in the General? I personally think they are all going to disappear and vote from the Dem nominee and Trump would get crushed. Or the closed primaries, where Republicans and conservatives are actually picking the winners? In those contests Cruz has a much better record.
“Why are the Trumpsters so enraged that Cruz is so much more intelligent than Trump ? I will vote for either one, but intellectually, by any measure, Cruz runs circles around Trump. Grits is grits.”
It isn’t we are enraged by Cruz and his rabid support, it is we are disgusted by the blatant brainwashing you folks suffer from. It is an anomaly I have never witnessed so badly on the conservative side before. In truth, Cruz doesn’t truly understand the basic mechanics of free market principles...that has come out during the debates.
Yep...I agree...Cruz is running in circles
[promised not to be neutral in a negotiation between Israel and Palestinians... Trump said no such thing in his speech.]
I heard TRUMP say he would be neutral with my own ears, and that was the main reason I voted for CRUZ.
Really like your post!
It took around 8 minutes before he got the first one.
About the time he stopped his campaign stump speech.
Still, Trump said that about Palestine?
geez.
That’s why Cruz has Neil Bush on hos campaign staff, because Cruz is so smart. You remember Neil Bush from the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal where over 1.6 billion $$ disappeared. Opps
Or how about the ex-Cruz campaign manager starting a blacklist of Trump supporters for the party to punish after the welection.
You have to be pretty stupid to bring Glenn Beck and Neil Bush into your campaign.
The biggest thing that Cruz still has going for him...is that he is the fulfillment of Mormon Prophecy.
Yeah ....Cruz & Beck ... the modern day Barnum & Bailey
:)
He’s the 2016 Al Gore.
Nobody cares about the inside DC PC-ish Palestine.
Nobody.
This is exactly what is wrong with our culture. You knew what he meant.
And Bruce Jenner is still a man.
Tell you what, that was a damn fine speech.
If there’s something in there you didn’t like, you really had to hunt for it.
Some people agree with you... Others don't.
Some people are pretty stupid... Others aren't.
Time had nothing to do with it.
Everybody knows Cruz.
Trump is the fresh face.
Coming from one of the worst Trumpets, I take that as a compliment.
