Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is facing increasing criticism regarding his honesty and campaign tactics, and his campaign’s latest screw-up could deal another blow to his White House hopes.
Monday, Cruz’s communications director resigned for tweeting a story that falsely alleged Florida Sen. Marco Rubio insulted the Bible, and the timing — just a day before today’s crucial Nevada caucuses — could prove troublesome for the Cruz campaign.
Cruz apologized for the incident, saying, “We are not a campaign that is going to question the faith of another candidate for president,” after the aide responsible, Rick Tyler, stepped down.
In the video, Rubio approaches Cruz’s father and a Cruz aide in a hotel lobby and compliments them for reading the Bible. He adds that the book of Proverbs is especially enlightening.
But the video distributed by Tyler fudged the audio transcript to make it appear like Rubio was insulting the Bible and saying it didn’t have many answers.
Rubio accepted the Cruz campaign’s apology but told reporters aboard his campaign plane on Monday night that Rick Tyler was simply “a fall guy” who was “executing a culture that exists in that campaign. The bigger issue is the culture that’s been created.”
Rubio continued, saying, “Right now Ted Cruz is in charge of his campaign. … And if his campaign has created a culture of misleading people and saying things that aren’t true and lies, he’s responsible for that.”
“At some point there has to be some level of accountability. Otherwise…you’re sending the message to the people who work for you: Go out and do anything you want and if you get caught we’ll just apologize, but we’ll keep doing it,” Rubio added.
It’s not the first time that Cruz’s campaign has been accused by rivals of using questionable tactics. Cruz apologized to GOP hopeful Ben Carson earlier this month after his campaign promoted a news story suggesting that Carson was getting out of the race. Cruz’s campaign has also acknowledged creating a website that used a computer program to create a fake picture of Rubio shaking hands with President Barack Obama.
“It’s every single day something comes out of the Cruz campaign that’s deceptive and untrue, and in this case goes after my faith,” Rubio said.
Fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump even weighed in on the controversy on behalf of Rubio, lashing out at Cruz over Twitter on Monday. Trump said that Cruz “has now apologized to Marco Rubio and Ben Carson for fraud and dirty tricks. No wonder he has lost Evangelical support!”
The Associated Press contributed to this article.
The status quo want Rubio. The voters want Trump.
Amen!
the devil is using all his tactics so Cruz wont get in, because he knowrnaps that Cruz is the BEST ONE
The development is controlled by Cruz. The false stuff is coming from him. He has become the Hillary of the GOP. Tell a lie and believe it is the truth.
I agree. He also has accepted money fron Mercer. $11 million!
Does God get a vote on this? Jehovah is a registered Republican! And he wears a Trump 2016! tee shirt and “Make America Great” ball cap!
Really, Ludlow? You really think God supports a man who only goes to church occasionally? Who insults everyone he possibly can? Who is all about himself?
No, but he is not a hypocrit of dirty political scams & Lies towards each running mate to use it to get a vote. He is very deceptive, using his dad as a pastor as his platform & “you just don’t use religion to win votes. Things are finally catching up with him & HE needs to be exposed !!!
You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian, Hugiaino. Anyone telling you any different is not a Christian.
what do you know what GOD will support?
No Ben Carson for president. Trump is another Obama and H Clinton. Worse than Berney Sanders..
You are stupid person.
If you people would ever get out from in front of the computer and go outside, that is the only Church plenty of people. Look at the world around you.. Now once you are outside, that Is GOD’ world. There are going to be plenty of soul’s lost because they didn’t have a Church to go to. Mountain’s, lakes, stream’s, and tree’s is all the Church plenty of people need. Pretty thinned skinned to think you need a building for a Church.. Wake UP
Rubio is going to jump on every misstep by Cruz,s officials because that is who he is and the only way he can win. Re Trump I can’t believe how many of you Trumpsters that he has fooled. He is whoever will glorify him. He has been an independent, democrat and now Republican. He has supported single payer healthcare. He favors subsidies, the RFL, and the ethanol mandate. Folks this is not the characteristics of a conservative. You are being duped and falling into his web. Do you really want a president that belittles every person who disagrees with him? Be an individual!!! Don’t follow the crowd. Trump like Obama is a narcissist. Do you want another Obama for president??
Look at the entire field… Lesser of all the evil’s.
Cruz is not even eligible, and neither is Rubio whose parents were not even citizens when he was born.
Actually Rubio is an anchor baby? Do we really want an “anchor baby” as president? The constitution is very clear they must be natural born citizen which means both parents must be citizens at the time of birth.
Obama is not qualified either. I know that some say one parent must be citizen but the faounding fathers said “both parents” plural must be citizens. Look it up. or go to this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca-sfq7l9VA and watch.
Brian, would you also trust a YouTube video for legal advice if you were charged with a crime? Why don’t you read what the law says.
The Immigration and Nationality Act, which became law in December, 1952, and is still current U.S. law, defines “natural born citizen” as a person who is the child of a citizen father or a citizen mother, and who has resided in the United States for five continuous years between 14 and 28 years of age.
In addition, the Supreme Court has ruled several times on the statutes that have defined “natural born citizen” over the years and has never struck down the definition nor questioned Congress’ authority to define the term.
Trump is bringing up Cruz’ birthplace every chance he gets so you won’t vote for him, all the while claiming he’s not calling Ted on it. That’s disingenuous at best. But then Trump has always been for Trump, first for money with his casinos, then for fame with his TV show, and now for power.
Article ll Section l Clause 5
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the U. S. at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained the age of 35 years, and been 14 years a resident within the U. S.
This is from The Constitution of the United States of America
The senator held dual citizenship. He has made the choice to fight for America. However, it seems as though America no longer wants anyone fighting for her who holds Christian values. ‘Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone…;’
Agree big time.
Cruz more than Rubio will be fending off lawsuits, as well he should. He should not even be running. He is not elligible.
Are we going to go through this again?
Constitution meant to insure that our President’s ONLY allegiances are to the U.S.A.
Obviously, not the case in current POTUS.
We can not risk it again!
You are right, it was for this very reason the framers put that in. Obama should NEVER been allowed to run. See how that has worked for us. NOT!
Like Carson said, Obama is not a true black person, but he is a TRUE MUSLIM!
I would take Cruz over Rubio if a choaice were made!
That’s the least of the problems with Ogama’s illegitimacy………..so many historical records sealed for “national security” reasons……..false birth certificate…..we don’t know who he really is; and for THAT reason; he has usurped the office he holds and Congress has committed high crimes and treason in confirming him without proper credentials publicly revealed.
Want to clean up the mess? Support military coup and have them ALL jailed pending military tribunal hearings. Guilty as charged during wartime equals OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Don’t blame the devil. We are all grown ups and must be held accountable for our actions
Absolutely correct! Devil does God’s work, don’t you know? DEVIL GIVES US PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH…..how do good Christians deal with problems? Prayer! Who do we pray to? God! In that way we are driven back to God which is where we should have been in the first place!
Hogwash, you say?
Read your Bible! It is filled with examples revealing the exact situations 1000’s of years ago.
How many times were the Israelites tested by God? Too many times to count! The Devil was involved to be sure!
The Devil tested Christ during his forty day fast. That was a test for us to take note. Be assured Christ could have destroyed Satan any time he wished!
That isn’t Christ’s Will for Satan and his Demons. They are used by Christ to drive His chosen people back to him when they stray away from His Presence.
A liar? Are you kidding me? So you’re saying the devil made him do it!???? LOL
Cruz info for you:
https://www.quora.com/Is-Ted-Cruz-a-dominionist
Well then, the devil is leading Cruz to do the things he does. No one has made him use the dirty tricks that he has, over and over.
Cruz and Rubio not eligible see:
http://powderedwigsociety.com/eligibility-of-cruz-and-rubio/#prettyPhoto
Cruze Like Beck is crazy as a shit house rat …
As a devout Christian. I say, “My God,” is more powerful, than anything. If he wants someone in, he will do so. I don’t think Cruz is the one. Did you think the same about obozo?
Yep….Obozo has a job to do for God…..drive God’s people back to God in Prayer!
Big AMEN to your post !! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
With all the UNDERHANDED TACTICS from CRUZ (and you can beat he approved every one) shows Cruz is DOING THE DEVILS DIRTY WORK!
Has any of them stated what they can do for their voters. Stop the fighting. Put on big boy pants and show Obama how real men act and how real men treatctheir public. We need a man in the whitehouse who will fight for this country and it’s allies. Fix our borders and our economy and not be ugly to their opponents. Anyone up to being a man?
So true. That is the main explanation for the entire political system being against the senator.
FOX network& RNC has chosen Rubio because he is willing to take instructions from them down the line,
very similar to 8 years ago when two big $$$ guys chose ‘big O’ to be their boy in the white house.
I was hoping this election would be different but RNC has refused to let the average American work it out.
Shame on FOX & the RNC!
I read where Rubio is all for and intends to let the immigration policy flow. There are so many liars in politics it is hard to believe but it made me take a second look!
Too true. The whole ‘fair and balanced’ folks have been changed, and not for the better.
I agree !!! they can’t control Trump.
Trump is not accountable and is for himself get a clue. He talks pretty and does his own things anyway. Just like Obama and H Clinton. You want positive change Ben Carson is the real man for the job!
Amen!
I don’t want either one, but with media, other liars, and morons being what they are, it looks like that’s what we’re going to get.
all catholics wants Rubio Cruz is a Serpent worship Hypocrite
Rubio is a good man who strives to do the right thing by the American people. Only problem is, Washington is SO corrupt that it is difficult for a decent man to avoid getting sucked down into the quagmire. Someone (don’t remember who) said recently, that, “If the American people would understand just how corrupt Washington has become, they would burn it to the ground.” It may be too late to do anything useful, but if anyone can, it is likely to be Donald Trump.
Trump / Rubio 2016
Ted Cruz’s Dad: My Son Ran for President After God Sent His Wife a Sign
And other tales from Rafael Cruz’s world of extreme Christian fundamentalism.
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/rafael-cruz-ted-cruz-campaign-god-sign
I don’t want a dictator in the White House. I don’t in any way like what Donald Trump has been saying since he decided to buy the Republican candidacy for our next President. I want as our President a man of whom we can be proud, not one who makes his living selling sex.
Trump is hideous, my mother said, “actions speak louder than words”. Trump’s behavior is Arrogant, woman hating, bigoted and that of a spoiled rotten – temper tamtrum throwing bully.
Trump gives more women job opportunities than men, what are you talking about?
What do you want as President to straighten out this Horrific Mess we are in, a WIMP?
You are believing the lies of the RHINO’s and the Left that have DESTROYED AMERICA!!
TRUMP 2016 !
Read Revelations concerning what happens before major events…..”THE TRUMP SHALL SOUND”…..
and guess what….we have a new virus amongst us……ZIKA!
Another apology from the Ted Cruz and his campaign?!?! Purposely trying to mislead voters by creating their own subtitles to misquote Rubio. How many times a week do we hear of these cheating tactics by Ted Cruz? How many more lies and dirty tricks will we hear about before Super Tuesday on March 1st? And the phony apologies that follow when they’re caught? When will voters wake up and realize that Cruz cannot be TrusTED??
I am no fan of Marco Rubio. He is a puppet on a string, being propped up by the GOP establishment. He will answer to all the special interest groups and donors who are financing his campaign. Donors don’t give thousands and millions of dollars in donations without expecting something in return. His views alone on giving amnesty to illegals in this country should cause voters to discount him as president.
Trump in 2016!!! If it wasn’t for him, many of the issues that have come to the forefront would not be discussed by the candidates! I may not agree with his delivery but he tells it like it is!! Just what the American people are thinking!! He doesn’t care about Political Correctness and I agree! PC will destroy this country! We need Donald Trump to represent the people, and among many things, restore the dignity and respect that we once held in the world, secure our borders, rebuild our military, destroy ISIS and fix our economic woes and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
President Donald J. Trump!! I like the sound of that!!!
Dan 55, I’m with you, I think Trump is the best man for the job. Cruz has been proven a liar. Rubio is just a kid and it has also been written that he is being backed by Soros. That makes my blood boil!! Soros is behind Obama, we don’t need another Obama for sure!!!!
And none are bigger or better liars that rubio and trump.
Geeeeeez, ANOTHER UNDERHANDED, DECEITFUL CRUZ Minion.
Where were you Nancy and the rest of Trump supporters when Cruz was busy fighting for the values and policies you say you believe in? Why do you think everyone is ganging up on Cruz? Think about it. Words are cheap (they always were) anyone can SAY anything and make folks believe (remember the old snake oil salesmen of yore). Trump is one of them. The only True way you can judge anyone is by their actions, their record/history. How and whom did they vote for before? I just hope that you all are not sorely disappointed if Trump does get to the White House and he morphs into a democrat (what he really is). You’ll have no one to blame but yourselves. I know everyone is angry and fed up with Washington–so am I but I know this much, the establishment is not going to spend the time and money they have in trying to destroy Cruz unless they KNOW that he can not be controlled or used by anyone, and he is the Only consistent Conservative running.
He cannot be as great as you think when he knows he is not eligible and runs anyway. And there i
s too much dishonesty coming out of his campaign for him to be all honest and Unaware.
That’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard. Cruz has been shown by his actions to be the most dishonest and mischievous candidate in this election. Talk about a snake oil salesman! Dirty as they come. I could care less if his voting record is spotless, which it’s not. His campaign trail record shows him to be a malicious manipulator and liar. I’ll have to take a shower if forced to vote for that swindler if it comes down to him and Sanders or Hillary.
I agree!
CRUZ is Consistent Alright. Cruz is Consistent at getting LOTS OF MONEY from BIG BANKS, and consistently ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING for 4 YEARS in the SENATE! Where was Cruz when Obama was signing all those EXECUTIVE ORDERS? We gave Cruz a Republican Senate and STILL NOTHING !
Sharon, you said it better than anyone. Cruz is the only consistent conservative running. He’s gone before the Washington cartel solo many times, his action speak way louder than trumps words and hot air.
1)Trump is Arrogant, “I can kill someone right here and my followers will still back me”. Not all Trumpsters are that evil. No way dude.
2)Trump is Woman Hating – Look at he treated Magyn Kelly, Carly F and the pregnant reporter and the Muslim lady.
3)Slanderer- “I can kill someone right here and my followers will still back me”. His lies about Carson being incompetent surgun, and lies about Muslims being all terrorist, and lies about Border crossers being rapist and drug cartel and terrorist. and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio being not natural born citizens. Constitution says other wise.
4)Anti Semitic – “Hitler was right”. Hitler’s claim to fame was scapegoating and murdering Jews. Truth freedom of religion is Constitutional.
5)Anti Muslim – Scapegoating all for a few Radical Islamic Extremist (RIE). Truth RIE kill other Muslims who do not believe as they do exactly, and other religious groups. Truth is American Muslims are mostly good citizens. Truth freedom of religion is Constitutional.
6)Non Christian all Christians have asked God to forgive their sins. Trump claims he has not sinned. Adultery is a sin.
7)Anti Black – Trump as head of Trump Enterprizes had segregated housing until court order stopped it. Also buying politicians for his own benefit. White slave owners did the same thing. If the black community do not tell the blacks who are behind Trump I for 1 believe they should be told to shut up and quit being whiners. BLM is not going after them they specialize in hatred and are proving to be hypocrites. Racial persecution is unconstitutional.
8) Anti Hispanic – Border Crossers are poor people wanting to shelter, feed and cloth their families. Nit the lies about Border crossers being rapist and drug cartel and terrorist. Lied about Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio being not natural born citizens. The Constitution says they are. Rapist harm people sexually, Drug Cartel are killers and push dangerous drugs for money, Terrorist murder people. The real reason we need the border wall is to protect jobs. Mexico is not going to build a wall. They would have done it by now. Racial persecution is unconstitutional.
9)Anti Asian – Chinese products exist because we buy them. Not because they are trying to harm us. Racial persecution is unconstitutional.
10)Liberal – Sudden drastic change comes with sorrow. Which he professed to not have. Truth until his run for president he was the king of liberals and all their agenda was on his bankroll.
11)Takes donor money
12)Spoiled rotten – people who speak up and share the truth are slandered and cussed at and called liars.
13)Temper Tantrum throwing Bully – When someone is beating him, he implies or says they are bad. and Slanders them. When someone confronts him, he implies or says they are bad. and Slanders them.
14) Developmental child. – The adult reasons with people they disagree with. Also try to be good examples.
15) Uses the excuse of not PC as an excuse for disrespect. PC means politically correct. When Ben Carson Marco Rubio and Carly F and Ted Cruz are not PC and act respectful. Donald trump has no excuse.
16) The reason Trump is rich is priviledge of inheritance from daddy. Also not giving away money to everyone frivolously.
17) He bought off people to join his campaign.
18) He brain washes people. “I can kill someone right here and my followers will still back me”.
19) He is rich because he does not share his money with you.
NO ONE lies as much as D.T. — HE is to blame for all this distraction, from Debate #I, Trump displayed what a foul mouth he has by doing his dirty work on Jeb Bush because at that time, Jeb was ahead in the polls, next came his nasty remarks about Ted Cruz — and who do you think he will start on next? it will be Rubio! This is what you want to represent our once great country? I believe the devil is working in this election — he certainly used the people in So. Carolina . . .
All i can say is Donald Trump will do a much better job. Cruz is a known liar. Rubio does not have the knowledge or experience to run a country. The United States of America needs Donald Trump’s knowledge and experience. We beed our jobs back. We need to be safe.
Aren’t debates all about making the other guy look worse than you?
Lillian, don’t forget the period where he was cutting Ben Carson to shreds.
I agree with you Dan55. I just hope if he wins that he doesn’t ruffle the wrong feathers. Otherwise, he’s quite capable of being a good leader for our country.
Even more so RUBIO CAN’T BE TRUSTED!! He has proved it in his senate votes! I am not condoning what cruz may or may not have done….. he can’t control other peoples thinking or actions as hard as he may try (Rick Tyler) but rubio has definately proved himself to be a lyer to the people! Due to Rick tyler this would be a very sad way to lose his vote. I am for Trump but am thinking of past experiences where I have trusted people to act on my behalf & it didn’t always work.
Go trump
!n cards; Trump always wins!
OMG! YOU ARE TOTALLY SICK IF YOU THINK DONAL TRUMP CAN RESTORE AMERICA! IT WAS RESTORED WHEN BUSH WENT OUT OF OFFICE WHETHER YOU BUNCH OF MORONS ACCEPTED OR NOT, YOU’RE NOT INTERESTED IN THE FACT THAT TRUMP IS EXTREMELY ILLITERATE, INCOMPETENT AND PSYCHOTIC WITH NOT INTEGRITY. ITS SAD THAT AMERICA HAS COME TO WHERE HAVING A PRESIDENT WITH NO MORALS OR INTEGRITY EVEN MATTERS WHICH MEANS YOUR REASON FOR WANTING HIM IS NOT BASED ON THE CHARACTER OR COMPETENCE OF THE CANDIDATE!
Do the research on this if you don’t believe it…..Bush and Obama are cousins. They have many cousins in Congress, maybe more than half……….and they are all cousins to the Queen of England!
Make no mistake; the Queen of England is a VERY powerful individual and VERY, VERY WEALTHY; owning possibly more than half the WORLD”S REAL ESTATE!
England has nad a bloody history concerning changes of heads of state….whoever wants the power has the opponents killed!
Sound familiar? England is controlling the U.S. We never had independence!
What is Trump’s wealth involved in? Could it be real estate? He’s the shoe in!
We do want dignity and honesty in our next President. That’s why I’m for BEN CARSON, the candidate most likely to be able to win the general election.
he won’t get in and that will save his life.
I FULLY AGREE!!!!
I do not fully agree with Ray. That message was mean’t for the one honoring TRUMP not carson!
I agree with you 100% Trump 2016.
My father said, “A man is only as good as his word”.
Ben Carson is the only one who can step out of he box and burn it, so he can find or think of any solutions. Ben Carson has the best social skills. We will not get nuked. Ben Carson is used to of dealing with life and death solutions on his feet and before he stands up. Democrats have no non white person running for president while republicans have 3. Ben Carson for president who is so competent we need not mention he is black. But democrats say it is important. Mother was right “Actions speak louder than words”. Ben Carson for America’s Future. Ben Carson for President.
I AGREE CRUZ IS A LIAR AND AMERICA DOESNOT WANT ANOTHER OBAMA.
Amen to that!
A person who pretends to be Godly but engage in deceitful & dishonest activities, is nothing but a demon. Instinctively, I never trust Cruz’s face from the very beginning. Now, it’s showing that my instinct was right.
YOU JUST DESCRIBED Donald Trump exactly! Remember who started all these nasty remarks in Debate # I — go back and check them all out (if you didn’t record them, find someone who did and watch them before you accuse the wrong person).
There is a difference in being outspoken and an out and out liar. I like trump because he is sick of all the political correctness which is a bunch of bull
Trump says it like it is! Although I think maybe Cruz was set up somehow to look bad even though I think he looks Canadian!
I for one will support whoever God decides should head America….problem is God chose heads of state for Israel and many of those were bad! Even so; I will not go against God’s judgement!
Actually, it is scriptural that ALL heads of state in ALL countires are placed there by God, so it’s a moot point….bad leadership is meant to drive God’s people back to God….take a lesson from that!
Hey Herc, better check your instinct gage, because it’s way off.
The salvation of America is up to Donald Trump!! I believe God
has brought him forward because he is the best man to guide America to a remarkable future! Trump has shown that he loves America and it’s people! When is the last time AMERICA has had a President that was concerned about us?? Ronald Reagan was the
last one! Go Trump–AMERICA needs you!!
I seriously doubt that GOD is responsible for Donald Trump. He’s no gentleman. He’s no diplomat. He acts and speaks as a dictator, which is the very last thing needed in the U.S.A. White House. Obama acts contrary to our Congress. Donald Trump gives no reason to believe he would be less a dictator than Obama has proven to be.
ISN’T IT ODD THAT TRUMP IS CRITICIZED FOR BLUNTLY SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY? TRUMP IS TRULY THE VOICE OF AMERICA! THESE CAREER POLITICIANS HAVE DESTROYED AMERICA. THESE CAREER POLITICIANS LEAD “CUSHY” LIVES WITH HEALTHCARE, PERKS, PENSIONS, ETC. ALL OF WHICH AMERICANS ONCE HAD, BUT LOST DUE TO INCREASED TAXATION ON AMERICA, PUTTING AMERICA’S ECONOMY OUT OF BUSINESS. TRUMP DOES NOT CAMOFLAGE HIS WORDS, BUT SPEAKS IN ENGLISH THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY ALL AMERICANS. ALL THE OTHER POLITICIANS’ DELIVERIES ATTEMPT PORTRAY THEM AS BEING SMARTER THAN THE VOTERS. THEY’RE NOT, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE SURVIVED WHAT ALL AMERICANS ARE GOING THROUGH. BUT TRUMP HAS THE BRAINS TO SEE WHAT AMERICANS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.
As a slave holder, Trump is a huge contributor to the mess we have.
Amen!
Cruz is not a liar. He was set up by Trump and Rubio – don’t believe the media – If you do your own research you will know that Cruz is an honest man. Be careful who you choose America!
Hey Lynn I too believe Cruz is being set up by Trump and Rubio and I am ashamed that FOX has thrown their vote to both of these guys I use to watch FOX now I will no longer watch it I am very disappointed in this media station. I like Ted Cruz and believe and trust him and I agree with you 100% be VERY CAREFUL AMERICA whom you choose!
Fox is not for Trump. Also Trump controls most of the media, Trump has thrown his friends (Fox news owners) under the bus. Like Carson, Trump manipulated the situation with Rubio and Cruz. Trump is slandering Fox for being a good news station.
Hahahahahaha. Then why does he apologize for something he didn’t do? Come on snd wake up
Senator TED CRUZ would be far better for patriots in the U.S.A. than Donald Trump. But best would be BEN CARSON, who is HONEST and capable and a gentleman.
I agree with you.
Ted Cruz
Is the only true
Christian
with a heart. He
has been
fighting for our
Constitution
and he knows
It like our deceased Supreme Court Judge.
He fought for
Kate’s Law.
It’s a shame
people can’t
tell who is a good man. He
stood up to Bill
O’Reilly & explained the
Constitution.
And O’Reilly
Just dropped his head. I have Fox News for years
but greatly
disappointed
that they all have supported
Trump from the start & the
voters believe
them. I believe
God will bless
America under
Ted Cruz as
President. Kasiek would be a good mate for Ted.
Shame on Trump for trying to bring
Him down. And he is never held
accountable .
I was disappointed that Carson
believed Trumps’ lies. Trump will reap what he sows.
You ‘re right Lynn, Cruz is far from being a liar. He is the most honest man running. Just because trump pinned that on him doesn’t mean it’s so. We had to find out who the real liar was the hard way in the last election, don’t want to do that again.. Our country can’t take another narcissist, so do your own homework, you’ll find that Cruz isn’t the one that is the liar.
I have a feeling that Cruz’s communication director was bought off by guess who. With that kind of money he can bribe anyone to make someone look bad. Ted Cruz is an honorable man and the only one is this race, including the Democrats, that has the qualifications to be president. Leave it to the illiberal Democrats and ‘can be bought’ persons to demonize
someone rather than debate.
Pleasssseeeeed!!!! Reslly?????? Then why did Cruz say he was sorry?
Because, like any good leader, he takes responsibility for what his campaign does.
BEN CARSON is the best candidate for President in 2016. He is the ONE most likely to be able to win the general election.
Are you nuts?
All of the political candidates need to keep a closer eye on what their campaign people are doing because all of them are loose canons.
I believe you have not read what I said. Repubs and TPs are immature people although they look old. Immature people usually lie, hypocrites, corrupt, insecure and think of themselves only. That is what we are getting from the GOP line-up now – except Don Trump. Just imagine what Rubio and the non-citizen Cruz are calling each other -liar, liar and liar. How can anybody in proper mind vote for these two. Not me. That is why Trump is trumping them out. Why can’t these two hang up and go home. Let Trump debate Hillary. What a day to see Trump cry like a baby!
Trump and H Clinton are not going to win the primaries. Carson can and will get the democrats who decide they want a person who can think and is honest.
Carson is interested in the black vote as he stated! How would it sound if Trump said, ” All I am interested in is the WHITE vote!’ Foe Shame on Carson! Yes, he is honest alright!
Oh, so now you are being prophetic? Trump and Clinton are not going to win the primaries? Time will tell, I guess. Your post, is this time, a little better than your usual non-sensical writings, Lois. But everyone must wait to see if your prophesies come to pass!
The republicans bring shame to evangelicals, and evangelicals bring shame to true Christianity.
Those of us for Carson are not.
While we would all like to see our Politicians perform with complete honesty and the highest integrity, anyone whom believes that Ted Cruz is personally responsible for all of the tactics used by his campaign, must also then accept the Donald Trump back at the beginning of this process used less than professional manners with all of the other candidate. He insulted all of the other candidates in one form or another. Rubio as many have noted is the establishment / media puppet / darling and yet it was reported after Iowa that his campaign also used the Carson tweet, but the media buried it shortly after the initial reports.
The real questions for me, is why is the media pushing Marco so hard – he finished 3rd in Iowa, but the media made it seem like he won, finishes 5th in NH, but was still in great position and finishes a distant 2nd and barely out of 3rd, yet he is the candidate of choice? – it can’t be that he is the best candidate, that is not how the media report on Republicans.
The second is after being a lifelong Democrat and still vying for Liberal positions, why so many think Donald is the right choice to be the conservative candidate?
My challenge to all, is to not say the candidate , but the positions we support – how does your choice match those positions? and if not, whom does? Food for thought, the media rarely shines the light on whom they truly fear from the Republican party.
I disagree. It’s not only about positions, but character. Someone can hold all the right positions and be a murderer or a thief under it all. I’d FAR rather have someone in office who differs honestly on some political positions but is generally honest in character, than someone who has been caught and admitted to using deceitful tactics to defame another candidate or garner more votes. As a Christ follower I will never vote for Ted Cruz unless it comes down to a lesser of two evils with a Democrat on the other side. Very sad that the man of greatest character in this race, Ben Carson, has been brushed aside.
Better said than anything I could have said.
Dump Trump if you have any brains. He’s screwed up this election, he destroyed Bush right from the start, then went after everyone else. Someone needs to dig up some of the anti-conservative statements proving he’s not a republican, believe me we don’t need another Obama with his Make America Great Again.
I have not heard one word of how Trump and/or Rubio will make America great they back stab one another, but they do not come up with solutions to our country’s problems and that is what I want to hear not just back stabbing gossip and defending others let others defend themselves. Do they think they are w/o sins.
The ideal candidate for President is BEN CARSON, both by character and by experience in leading others to accomplish good and difficult things.
Yeah, OK????
Terrific response. Agree totally. While Ted Cruz is my candidate of choice, it seems that he is suffering from a terminal condition: being human. Mistakes are made by all, but for the ones espousing Christianity, it seems the bar is raised higher to either hold the Christian to a higher standard not used for any other people OR to help him trip.
The republicans aren’t true republicans anymore either. Not a democrat. No way. But they are making the republicans look inexperienced and stupid
Mr. Trump is the front-runner and probable candidate for the Republican party. Not a good idea at all. We need to be reading and educating ourselves re: all the candidates, their REAL stands on the issues AND how their programs are to be instituted. Doing more end runs around Congress, Mr. Trump? How is that any different than the POTUS in office, now? Right answer: NO DIFFERENCE. Be willfully informed instead of willfully ignorant.
This entire political campaign is about the people and our “gut feeling” if you will. I no longer trust the media, never trusted the Democrats, Republicans or pollsters. However, I do listen to my heart and by doing so I am able to discern what is right for me. That is why I believe that Donald Trump is the man who will become our next President. GOD Bless America.
If you would look at the history of Donald Trump, you would very possibly not want to blame GOD for his past actions in being pals with Democrat politicians.
I personally believe you are absolutely correct. You are quite right when you say you don’t trust the media, the other politicians or the pollsters…hstory has shown time and again in politics that if a political ‘newcomer’ with fresh, original and dare I say it, popular ideas come on the scene, the incumbent Establishment get VERY fearful about the status quo. Any threat to their comfortable lifestyle and they attack using any vicious, methods they can to descredit the new boy or girl on the scene – including spreading lies and nasty rumors, especially through the media etc., so those who don’t know any better – and believe me, there are many, many uninformed, or perhaps I should say, ILL-INFORMED voters out there who not knowing any better, run with the crap that they read or are told and it colors their views and opinions…. One has only to scroll down these posts to read them! Absolutely AMAZING!
I was interested in Cruz at one time, but then in Iowa, he used voter shaming and then the deliberate hit on Carson. I found it ironic for him to be standing in front of the word “truth” on a banner just after the Carson hit.
It is amazing that out of 17, we are left with very limited choices.
I do not trust Rubio on immigration or Kasich. Both are professional politicians and know what is expected from them by their donors.
Here is my most serious concern about the Cubans–they both say they are natural born citizens, just ask them. However there are 2 desperate issues between the two and from what I have assessed by reading about the qualification, neither is a natural born citizen.
Marcos parents came to America claiming Castro and communism were the reason they left in 1956. Castro did not come to power until 1959. Marco was born as an anchor baby in 1971 to 2 Cuban citizens that did not get US citizenship until 1975. He simply is not a natural born citizen. He is an anchor baby born to Cuban parents!
Cruz has a different but concerning problem. He had dual citizenship with Canada as late as a year and a half ago his mother was a US citizen living in Canada. He was born in Canada with a Cuban father and did not come to the US until 4 years old. He is not a natural born citizen!
The fact that the courts have never accessed these issues puts us in a precarious situation. As I write, there are 4 courts in 4 states that want to take them off the ballot.
I don’t know if American voters can see a potential problem that could give us the nightmare scenario.
If one of these guys is elected president, the dems will file suit. In the meantime, President Obama stays in office until a ruling is made, which could be another 4-8 years!
Obama got away with the US citizen charade, and we don’t need this again!
Thank you Rob for your inspiring comments.
Inspiring? Inaccurate and misleading, I’d say. And the fully qualified and best candidate is BEN CARSON.
Boy, you sure like to repeat yourself, Ray!
Given that religion in all forms is the root of all evil. I wonder how it is even possible to insult the Canadian guy and his lunatic father. On the other hand, the Cuban kid seems to change religions as he needs to in some crazy attempt to get supporters. The Donald may be the only candidate that just might possibly tell Israel to Eff Off. For that reason alone i would pick him over Jebbies twin sister, Hillary. I guess it all will come down to who the voting machine manufacturers have already programmed into the machines. Hell, we might still get lil Jebbie if they decide not to reprogram them.
Those who mock God put themselves in danger. BEN CARSON is the best qualified candidate. It wold be good to see a true NEGRO (Black) in the White House. We’ve never had one in the past.
Ben is a real Christian in the order of Paul the apostle. Messed up and God confronted him and Ben Carson dramatically changed. I am voting for my grand CHILDREN’S best chance to inherit a decent America it is Ben Carson.
Speaks to the issue of character? Was it OK to maybe steal and celebrate the Iowa victory? An apology, hollow? Humility? Humbleness? The son of a pastor? A believer who had a deep walk with the Lord once shared with me, “licensed ministers were a dime a dozen and so few ministered from a place of brokenness” a message for the church? Even if what was true which was said of Rubio’s faith walk? Sounds dangerous what may be coming out of this candidate who is asking for the believer’s vote? What kind of a Christian nation have we become?
Daniel 21:2 says it is God who puts them on the throne and removes them. Pray,everyone, and leave the rest to God! perhaps a bad ruler will bring us to our knees!
Yes,pray everyone.
Our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ is surly coming back very soon. Pray without ceasing. Bind the enemy. Jesus is Lord! ! Amen
Most pertinent comment. Thanks, Lorraine!
I’m sure a head campaign manager pretty well knows how the boss feels about campaign tactics, and what he would deem as acceptable. As an insider Ted’s manager had more access to the “truth” than Cruz supporters. Sometimes reality sucks.
I’m sure a campaign manager knows how the boss wants the campaign run and what tactics the boss would find acceptable. As an insider Ted’s manager knew more about Ted’s standards than most of his supports were aware of. Asking the manager to resign does not change anything. It only represents an attempt to further mislead the public. In this case we should trust the insider.
Jesus is Lord.
Amen!
Perhaps Cruz suffers from trolls in the ranks of his staffers. Spies and double-agents are not always caught before the damage is done.
One must question the credentials of any candidate who takes every word in the bible or any other holy book as the literal truth.
MAIN STREET, I agree with you completely. My question is, who does God want to be President and the leader of the free world ?
As I understand it, Cruz IS a reincarnated saint and if this is true, then you can forget about the accusations made against him because bad and false people will always attack good people, especially when they are OBSSESSED WITH GAINING MORE POWER ! Both Trump and Rubio ARE obsessed with power. Trump is a RUDE, ARROGANT, DIVISIVE DICTATOR and a BULLY and all dictators are OBSSESSED with power. RUBIO LUSTS AFTER POWER AND IS GREEDY FOR POWER AND THAT IS WHY HE IS FOLLOWING IN OBAMA FOOTSTEPS AFTER SO LITTLE TIME IN POLITICS. HE HAS DELUDED HIMSELF INTO BELEIVING THAT HE CAN ALSO BECOME PRESIDENT JUST LIKE OBAMA HAS, BECAUSE HE BELIEVES HE HAS LOOKS and this is what he uses to SEDUCE the people of USA and GUESS WHAT IT IS WORKING ! PEOPLE ARE FALLING FOR HIS ACT AND THAT IS ALL IT IS – THE WELL REHEARSED ACT OF A MADMAN OBSSESSED WITH POWER WHO REPEATS HIMSELF LIKE A ROBOT BECAUSE HE CANNOT THINK FOR HIMSLEF. HE CANNOT BE SPONTANEOUS OR THINK ON HIS FEET. WATCH HIM CLOSELY AROUND WOMEN AND YOU WILL SEE THE BODY LANGUAGE – HE LICKS HIS LIPS WHEN HE LUSTS AFTER WOMEN. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE IS VERY FALSE JUST LIKE AN ACTOR AND HE WILL DECEIVE THE USA JUST AS OBAMA HAS. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WHO LUST ARE NOT STRONG CONSERVATIVES AND MUST NOT BE PUT INTO POSITIONS OF POWER. HE LACKS POLITICAL EXPERIENCE TO CARRY OUT THE JOB AS PRESIDENT AND LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND HE ALLOWS OTHERS TO USE HIM JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS THE GLORY. HE IS LITTLE MORE THAN A GLORIFIED DELUDED POLITICAL WHORE. YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP !
God Bless America!!!! These are very scary times.
Donald Trump is the only one for the job!!! He will sercure our borders to get rid of illegal immigrants, drugs and terrorists. We will have more jobs and he will fix our economy. He is Honest and has worked hard to get to where he is..He does not lie like Cruz and rubio . they attacted him in the debate and I think he handled himself very well. We need a strong person for our next president!!! And not just someone to have a speech to make it sound good!! He will get us out of debt because he knows how to do it. He’s a business man and very smart. He is for everyone and the second amendment… He has already raised 6 million for the veterans and he gave a million of his money to them as well, which came to 6 million. He is self funding his campaign and he doesn’t even have to do this but he wants to because he wants to fix things . The rest are all talk and in it for the money.He’s well known and has told all about himself. He will get our country out of debt like nobody else can!!! They told all about him on the history channel. I think he has earned it more than anyone. Its strange how the other candidates bad mouth him and its only rubio and Cruz saying things. The others are not saying things like that. I mean get real…for rubio to call him a con artist is pathetic and shows what kind of person rubio is. He’s like a mad little boy and him and Cruz will do anything to get a vote. I mean look at what Cruz did to Carson ,he took his votes after he told them Carson left. We need to vote for Trump!!! I vote for Donald Trump!!!! You obviously don’t know what your talking about to call him names!
