Cruz knocks Trump over Palestine
The Hill ^ | March 21, 2016 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 03/21/2016 9:08:04 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Sen. Ted Cruz landed an immediate blow on GOP presidential rival Donald Trump, who spoke before him Monday at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference, for how the front-runner referred to the Palestinian people.

"Let me say at the outset, perhaps to the surprise of the previous speaker, Palestine has not existed since 1948," Cruz said to lead off his speech in Washington.

Trump repeatedly referred to the Palestinian people as "Palestine" during his remarks just minutes before Cruz. Neither the United States nor Israel recognizes Palestine as a country...

Just trying to explain reality to the Tediban and Cruzdians. ;-) Apparently it is a hopeless cause, but we must try.

Come June 7th this will all be over, and Teddy Bare can go back to his beloved Senate and spend time with all his colleagues who think so highly of him. ;-)

“because he is such a great listener, he was able to capitalize on Trump’s error.”

What error?

Which “track record” is that?

That Obama was going to be a “great President” and that he liked what he was doing?

Or that Hillary was going to be a “great Secretary of State”?

How about his approval of bailing out the banks in 2009?

Was it a good "investment" to give the Clinton foundation $250,000?

The list is long...

Funny how all that means nothing to you anymore...

“Well, it’s even more ironic that that. Cruz abandoned his given birth name, Rafael, which is a Hebrew name meaning “God has healed.” “

Are you saying he’s a Cuban Jew from Canada? The AIPAC crowd probably went for him in a big way then. With all his “schtick,” I’m kinda surprised he didn’t wear a yamulke today!

Cruz knocks Trump over Palestine?????????

Where’s Palestine? Does it exist?

There is no Palestine despite all the world buying into the PLO narrative...

So now you are in fact a defender of the UN...

The Palestinians don’t refer to Israel as Israel. They consider the area...Palestine. The people of Israel are considered to be ‘’occupiers of Palestine’’.

Trump wasn’t wrong.

Furthermore, Trump is just a few years older than I am, and we grew up calling Israel...Palestine.

Trump wasn’t wrong, and Cruz showed his ignorance as well as his arrogance. Trump is an older, wiser man and cruz is a snotty, disrespectful, little jackass. He doesn’t even have the decency to treat his elders with respect.

Now he wants to slam Trump’s wife with the Mormons...he has NO respect for women at all, and no scruples. That man is of less value than a worm.

I truly appreciate your argument but long ago determined that Trump is like 95% of the general public who actually think they are Christian yet have little to no idea what is actually in the Bible. I think he is growing as a man and has met with pastors who have said very kind things about him and Sarah Palin endorsed him over Cruz and she knows both well. In short, I think he has a good heart and is a fallen man different from most in that he is not afraid to show his warts.

Cruz, on the other hand, knows the Bible and has chosen to ignore what is in it when it suited him and now he seeks to exploit it, also when it suits him in order to gain votes. I had great respect and hope for Cruz but I now consider him a fraud with no real compass that is guiding him.

Trump has everything a man could want in life in a material sense and certainly doesn't need the headaches that come with pursuit of the White House.. I have to believe that his guide is a sincere desire to right the wreck that this country has become.

That was the point. Trump talked about Palestine in his speech and Cruz was bashing him for it.

Buy hey, there are new defenders of the UN here now that say the UN says there’s a Palestine so Trump’s correct...
