Ted Cruz: "Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone"
It’s just more examples of Trump lying while he calls Ted a liar, which has been Trump’s M.O. since he started the meme. That’s why it’s proved to be the least effective putdown he’s ever used against his opponents. Calling Cruz a liar IS a lie. It has no basis in fact.
Cruz did nothing of the kind. This is an anti-Trump PAC that’s been around since November and which he has nothing to do with. This is probably the first ad they’ve ever run even mentioning Cruz, because they wanted Trump to lose Utah.
No, the first set of tweets from Cruz were
Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you’re more of a coward than I thought. #classless https://t.co/0QpKSnjgnE

That’s no disavowal.
Cruz has denounced the ad.
It’s clear to you, but that’s you. She runs an anti-Trump PAC in which Cruz has absolutely no involvement. She runs her ad in Utah & tells people to vote for Cruz (to stop Trump). If this is all foreign to you & you were in a cave, you may have missed Romney when he told people in FL to vote for Rubio to stop Trump, to vote for Kasich in OH to stop Trump & to vote for Cruz in other places to stop Trump. & just before the UT caucus, he came out & told people to vote there for Cruz to stop Trump which was the gist of the ad by this woman’s anti-Trump PAC...vote for Cruz to stop Trump. Are you getting it yet?
It’s Cruz’s job to stand up like an honorable man and decry attack ads directed at family members of candidates especially when the ads say or you could vote for Ted Cruz.
I understand, but some of these sTRUMPets don’t (or don’t want to) get it...
No, Carson put himself in the pathological category and Trump was pointing out that’s a bad place to be.
In his 1990 autobiography, “Gifted Hands,” Carson attributes violent behavior in his youth to his “disease,” a “pathological temper” that the Republican presidential hopeful said caused him to strike one friend with a rock and attempt to stab another. In subsequent accounts of his violent youth, Carson said he once attempted to attack his mother with a hammer.
“I’m not bringing up anything that’s not in his book,” Trump told Erin Burnett. “You know, when he says he went after his mother and wanted to hit her in the head with a hammer, that bothers me. I mean, that’s pretty bad. When he says he’s pathological — and he says that in the book, I don’t say that — and again, I’m not saying anything, I’m not saying anything other than pathological is a very serious disease. And he said he’s pathological, somebody said he has pathological disease.”
“That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that ... as an example: child molesting. You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that.”
They get it, they’re not dumb.
They just don’t have any integrity.
Cruz’s name is directly tied to the ad. If the ad was “inappropriate” he could have publicly requested the PAC to pull it, due to its nature and the fact that they used his name. He didn’t and only said it was “inappropriate”. Furthermore, Cruz only responded after Trump tweeted. So either Cruz’s campaign is incompetent for not knowing about the ad, or they knew about it and said nothing regardless of the inappropriateness.
Yeah not mine, that is a disavowal, to most rational people. Because ted has already said those kind of things are not okay and wouldn’t be undertaken by his campaign. By refusing the blame for something that he did not do, he disavowed it.
Why don’t you stick to posting your cartoons at those backwater ditch forums, you’re a lot less offensive than when you crawl out of those holes and put on your full Cruzbot suit.
Cruz hiding behind his PAC. Like any other stinking politician. Letting his PAC throw the mud and then saying “It wasn’t me!”. Just like the fake crap he used in Iowa...”It wasn’t me”, about Carson..”It wasn’t me”.
Still Trump is the only one with the Courage to kick out all the illegals and stop all the moslum refugees.
Viva Trump, Carajo!
How often do we face acts of injustice or callousness with silence? A derogatory joke in our presence, an act of selfishness or cruelty, or simply reading of political oppression in our newspapers–all of these instances summon us to choose a side. We can either verbalize our opposition immediately, or–through our silence–we become allies of the act or words we abhor. There is no neutrality. Silence is assent.
As said by Rabbi Bradley Artson, Sir Thomas More, Edward Kiser, Roberts Rules Of Order, the 10 Commandments etc.
The trouble is not with the photo, it is the way the photo was used.
Thank you for the link Of Trump defending Cruz’s girls.
That’s always been my quandry in gauging Trump. Is he a tough-guy NYer like James Cagney, or just a loudmouth wiseacre NYer like Lee Tracy? How many times has he defended his honor with his fists? Or is his ‘toughness’ defined by the loudness of his mouth and how many lawyers he sics on his business adversaries?
I’ve never really come to a conclusion, although I’m particularly unimpressed by flurries of emotive tweets. I’m more of the old world and culture of Owen Wister, with calloused hands, steely eyes, and the sparsely-spoken comportment that masks ready action and violence. Trump’s an odd duck from that perspective, and I find it difficult to discern the supposed strength and valor that so many of his supporters seem so wildly convinced of. Which makes for a conflict, as his various stances on issues are generally far more aligned with my own, compared to the loathesome creeps of the GOP-E, whom I’d so love to personally dispatch down to the darkest bowels of hell.
The younger daughter in the right rear of the frame is ALSO trying to get away. She looks and sees it’s Ted and spins the other way as there is someone there to plead to or run to.
Cruz and his PACs can dish it out, but he sure as Hell can’t take it.

Well said.
Yeah, I see the head turn now. Hadn’t noticed it.
