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...

He is astonishingly ignorant regarding a great many things. It doesn't matter to his supporters, though. As long as he...(insert pet cause here that Trump, at one time, said what they wanted to hear about)
From the article:
“Neither the United States nor Israel recognizes Palestine as a country, and some pro-Israel supporters believe that doing so takes sides against Israel in the struggle between the two peoples.”
Regarding age, I'm actually older than you, but not my much... ;-)

Today, was our first vision of the soon to be President Trump. From morning press conference to evening speech he began his soon to be terms as President of the United States. Term must be used due only to the fact that the man will serve two (the limit) and truth is, it seems it might take that many years to clean up the mess BO’B has made of this country.
Thanks for the ping. Off to dream of our AMERICA as it stood in prior years. Our beautiful, beloved Nation.
Humming off to bed “Just walk on by”
That passport was valid until May of 1948...
So? Ted is being petty, real petty. Which is why his numbers are tanking.
No, Palestine is an area within the larger Middle East region.
Playing games with language and changing definitions of words is a favorite tactic of subversive leftists, like calling queers "gays" or any Republican who doesn't bow down to PC restrictions "Hitler".
Cruz was playing that same game with his snark because if nothing else, he should have known that it was entirely reasonable for people who attended college well before he did to have a different definition of the word in mind.
Spit hairs all you like, doesn't matter to me how many PC redefinitions Cruz and his crowd adopt. Their doing so just shows how they adapt to and embrace the globalist agenda language redefinitions and all.
Are Ted’s numbers tanking?
Trump was just showing how neutral he is when it comes to Israel and the made up country of Palestine.
“..”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. ..”
This is the type of thing which make Donald Trump AFRAID to debate Ted Cruz. Trump doesn’t know what he is talking about, and Cruz will point that out to him.
PEOPLE, you still have time. For sake of your children support TED CRUZ!
Are you asking about fidelity because you think there are questions about Cruz’s cheating? Bill’s? Hillary’s?
Instead of cheating, shouldn’t we be giving the litmus test for Communist? Capitalist? Constitutionalist?
“Trump is astonishingly ignorant on foreign affairs. ..”
Which could put American lives in grave danger.
Or corporatist? Or crony capitalist?
It isn’t a litmus test, it is just I believe integrity starts at home. If you can’t honor your oath to your wife I don’t expect you to honor an oath to much else.
And if you don’t have honor and integrity everything else becomes tainted by it.
People here tell me I’m old fashion or not realistic. They tell me about all the great leaders of history that were less than stellar with honoring their marriage and personal life.
Perhaps, but the world is what we make it, and that’s the world I’d rather live in.
How do you know that his first two wives didn’t decide to leave him? Reagan’s first wife did that. Did he not meet your exacting standards for a President?
He wrote a book publicly bragging about cheating on his wives (plural) and cheating with wives of other “powerful men”. That is simply a fact.
Can you really suggest Reagan would have done such a thing or that there is any moral equivalence???
