No, Trump is a coarse copy of Cruz from 2011.

Almost all of Trump’s positions are Cruz’ positions from 2011.

Just go back and read.

“Almost all of Trump’s positions are Cruz’ positions from 2011”

If that’s the case, then Cruz flipped his positions

Your comments to zins was right on.


Why the crude name calling?

You weren’t like that when you supported Duncan Hunter.

Do Trump supporters HAVE to take on Trump’s personality?

Like Donald, they would rather name call than be substantive.


Trump has managed to make people who used to be decent and great debaters here on FR hateful and slanderous. Like trump they don't want to debate issues, they WANT to believe and pass on unproven lies. They don't care if they destroy Cruz and his family, but also are willing to destroy innocent women and their families for political purposes. That's why I'll never vote for trump. Imagine having a country full of hateful people who will destroy anyone in their way. The one thing that really surprises me is the people who come in to pray threads and then go and slander people without proof.

It was OK for Trump to just rubber-stamp copy Ted Cruz’ plan, but if Ted pushes his own plan, it is stealing from the 69 year old teenager.

Black is the new White, Down in the new UP.

Gotta love it.

#129 one thing for sure. Come next Tuesday we will find out

Even Newt is saying tonight Trump is not doinghimself any favors this week.

Also Donnie is now MIA in Wisconsin. There is a reason for that. His internal polling...and the Marquette Poll. Then the abortion rookie mistake as Newt just said on Hannity!

You said “He wasn’t”. Your post only makes sense in the context of the thread and the post you were responding to.

In that thread some Cruzer had claimed that Trump was a democrat 5 years ago. I proved he was Republican back to 1980. You said “he wasn’t”.

I think it is funny when you listen to Cruz talk about how little Trump knows about issues that Cruz ends up copying many of his positions. That does not say much for Cruz’s wisdom to me.

Trump’s trade talk is taken from Cruz’ 2011 speeches, almost verbatim.

Cruz’ speeches are the scripts for Trump’s campaign.

BS. The only thing Lyin’ Ted has learned is to blame Trump for everything, even his own serial cheating, while stealing all of Trump’s ideas.

One problem with “fair” trade is that it is undefined. Simply saying it’s fair is not enough.

I would have to hear specifics from Trump or Cruz. I don’t mean a list of complaints and accusations directed at others.

If I remember right, one argument for the “Fair tax” was that all goods, foreign and domestic, would be taxed. In contrast, the corporate income tax only falls on US manufactured goods. By that logic, we were shooting ourselves in the foot through our tax system. When we are doing something dumb, it is always good to stop.

Is that kind of like the 64% that refuse to vote for Trump in every state?

#147 Trump is nothing more than a entertainer that learned to feed off people’s fears. I want what he claims he is for but he is an empty suit past the platitudes. The interviews that he keeps stepping on his Johnson prove it.

But if I want to buy a ford truck I don’t go to a Toyota dealer and let them tell me it’s a ford under the hood and trust them.
