“Now the day after he calls for withdrawing from NATO”
Trump has NEVER called for withdrawing from NATO
How could people who claim to be Conservatives continue to defend government spending in another bloated government agency called NATO
Conservatism is dead.
People like Cruz killed it and are using its corpse as a puppet to take control of our lives.
“against the Ethanol Mandate when he knew it would hurt him.”
What makes you think he didn’t poll test it first ??
I know. Cruz is literally quoting movie lines now. Every day.
What's next, Mr. Tough Guy?
"I know what youre thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself."
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
BINGO!
This has been my complaint of ‘conservatives’ so many years.
Any person that calls them selves a ‘conservative’ does not understand what a conservative is.
The people that lead the conservative movement are WAY WAY WAY too IDEOLOGICAL, the exact 180 degrees opposite of what conservatism is.
Ted Cruz is an IDEOLOGUE. He is not a conservative. He in fact is an ideologue and has more in common with Bernie ‘socialist’ Sanders. BOTH are ideologues at each end.
I wish there were more people in the GOP and the libertarian/conservative side that understand what conservatism really is, and all its different colors.
But ideologues have no part in the conservative movement, and I’ve been so disgusted over the years.
An example was when Palin was announced as McCain’s VP and Rush Limbaugh declared “Babies, Jesus, Guns”. I cringed because although Palin was ok on those issues, that was NOT who she was. Rush, the ideologue, pigeonholed Palin and she and McCain were never able to campaign on her record of prudent, common sense governing in Alaska and as mayor of Wasilla.
Let me tell you something, if I gave you a choice of lowering the marginal corporate income tax rate from 39% to say 25%, and the other choice was lower it to 5%, which would you pick.
The conservative would select the first choice or use the second choice to short high but settle on the 25% rate as a prudent conservative reform to help the economy.
So many on our side are such purists. They remind me of the Ron Paul supporters of 2012, who were libertarian versions of the NOT prudent Sanders.
Prudence, and incremental reforms, and a strong reluctance to put into place changes that are just too gut-wrenching short-term.
Prudence in our immigration policy would be to stop immigration because the culture is being eroded and we are nowhere near assimilating immigrants at any rate. The % of the people in the USA who were born outside of the USA is simply too high. Prudence demands that we enforce current immigration law to avoid the destruction of the country.
I think a case can be made that the guy who collects million of dollars running for an office he is not even eligible to occupy is the one playing people for fools.
But he has mentioned it as a possibility.
Who would do that.
He’s sadly uninformed about many things.
Just sat here and watched the whole thing. An hour long documenting, fact by fact, how dishonest Cruz is.
Con man.
If you want to believe in Trump as your savior be my guest.
He will not be.
He doesn’t want to be.
He wants the presidency to validate his self-esteem.
It’s all talk. You trumpers have invested trump with a character he does not possess.
You will be disappointed.
“But he has mentioned it as a possibility.”
He has never mentioned it as a possibility. He had called for a new look at how it is funded. MSNBC today said that NATO members are bound to put 2% of GDP into NATO. Not one member except for the US has met their quota, EVER. In fact NATO funding has dropped 14%, leaving the US (you and me) to make up for the shortfall.
Oh, those were excellent!! Thanks for the ping!
Did you even bother to watch the video linked to in the top of this thread? Molyneux lays it all out, fact by fact, tweet by tweet.
While the 5 mistresses are not proven (yet), it’s quite clear that Cruz is a country mile from being honest. The case for Cruz not being trustworthy is NOT “innuendo!”
But he has mentioned it as a possibility.
So here is my question to you. Why would you allow Germany to fall short on their funding? Germany takes very good care of it’s senior citizens. They do not have the burden of paying their share of defending themselves. We millions of senior citizens that can’t afford the prescription drugs
they need...they live month to month, while Germany’s seniors have a worry free life.
Why would allow that to continue???
you’re on drugs.
But he has mentioned it as a possibility.
Germany has a constitutional restriction to offensive weapons. If NATO decides it has to be proactive and take an offensive stance, our soldiers lives are at risk, not Germany’s
Are you ok with that ?
Source please. I don't recall Trump ever doing that.
Agreed except for one thing.
Cruz supporters are ideologues.
I don’t know WHAT Cruz himself is any more.
Why? Trumps biggest challengers before Iown were Jeb and Carson. Trump has been pretty good at picking targets of opportunity to attack, especially with allegations that are unprovable and so they are hard to rebut.
So Jeb became a low energy guy. And Carson pathologically diseased like a child molester. And then little Rubio.
So Trump just waited and NE jumped in to attack his biggest threat left standing.
By the way, I’m not that crazy about Cruz either, but Trump’s campaign has taken the low road throughout.
Male Bovine Fecal Effluvia.
Trump is home because his daughter is about to give birth to a baby (his grandchild).
Are you telling me that wanting to be present at the birth of a grandchild is equivalent to “hiding in Trump Tower??”
Man, you Cruzers are DESPERATE!!
