US Election 2016
Thank You for the Opportunity to Run for the Greatest Office on the Face of the Earth
…The video below was released last night on Facebook by former Clinton Secretary of Labor and noted liberal Robert Reich.
Reich’s argument is that Cruz actually believes his conservatism. Reich is right on a big picture basis, even if he exaggerates or distorts a couple of Cruz’s positions. Trump, by contrast, is someone Reich feels will make deals and has no ideological foundation so while he’s a bully, there’s actually less to fear.
Basically, Reich is telling liberals to be afraid, very afraid of Ted Cruz.…
Ted Cruz at the Conservative Review Convention, 2/18/2016. It shows a fantastic speech from the senator, and a fired up, conservative crowd. …
…Two days after Donald Trump claimed that he “lost hundreds of friends” at the World Trade Center as a result of the 9/11 attack, his campaign continued to ignore a Daily Beast request that he name even one.
With silence comes the possibility that Trump told the most reprehensible lie of the campaign, just a few breaths from when he called both Sen. Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush liars.…
…At a campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina Wednesday morning, Trump was slamming the George W. Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq when he casually mentioned that there are “secret papers” that might show that “the Saudis” were actually responsible for the attacks on 9/11…
…Donald retweeted this: … Dan Scavino "He [Cruz] is, without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in DC." -Tom Coburn.
…Coburn went ballistic, calling the quote an “absolute fabrication.…”
Scavino is the “social media” director for Donald Trump.…
Hundreds came to see Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a Republican candidate for President of the United States, as he unveiled his national defense strategy aboard the USS Yorktown Tuesday morning. … “Rebuild our military so it will be feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies,” he said. He highlighted Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of peace through strength. “When your adversaries understand your strength, suddenly their appetite for conflict diminishes markedly…”
…The vacancy created on the Supreme Court makes painfully clear the huge stakes involved when we choose a President of the United States… we can only make our choices among those actually available, and Senator Cruz is the one who comes to mind when depth and steadfastness come to mind.…
…As a congresswoman in 2012, Bachmann heroically sounded the alarm regarding Shrillary’s sinister sidekick’s multiple connections to the fountainhead of all Islamic terror organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood. Bachmann was sanctimoniously shouted down by a RINO eager to make a pageant of his preference for political correctness over national security, namely the insufferable John McCain — with support from Lindsey Graham, John Boehner, and alarmingly, Marco Rubio. …
…Trump’s for-gainst it pivot on Iraq from 2000 to 2004 is a 180° performed very much like those of many prominent Democrats during that period…
Trump: “[Ted Cruz is] a liar… Now, he’ll apologize. But I don’t want the apology after the election. I want it before. And if he doesn’t I am going to bring a lawsuit because in my opinion based on what I’ve learned over the last few days from very top lawyers. He doesn’t even have the right to serve as president or even run as president. He was born in Canada."
Last night, Trump really went after Jeb Bush by absolutely bashing George W. Bush and his decision to go into the Iraq War. He started screeching, “they LIED!!” like a Code Pink protester… It’s pretty amazing how quickly el Trumpo can change his mind in the span of just 12 hours. And what’s more incredible – it’s with the SAME guy asking the EXACT same question!!! …
…Trump is not just a liberal posing as a Republican. He is a moonbat posing as an American.
While Bush 43 was taking the fight to the terrorists and American troops were in harm’s way, the Donald was yelping about impeachment. When the Tea Party reached full steam, he was praising Obama and denouncing America for being racist. Now he’s back to echoing Michael Moore propaganda regarding the Iraq War and 9/11.
Anyone with right-of-center politics who supports Donald Trump has been duped. The guy is a talented salesman. But now the mask is off, so there is no excuse not to acknowledge the mistake.…
Hillary Clinton is a reprehensible human being. …After watching, and re-watching, the footage of her disgraceful and incredibly dishonest debate performance wherein, when questioned about classified information on her private email server, she replied, “We’ve got this absurd situation of retroactive classification,” I thought, “Is this a sick joke?” …I’m embarrassed to have supported her protective detail as a young Secret Service agent during her New York Senate run. …
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore has announced he’s dropping out of the presidential race, after being the only candidate not to make the cut for Saturday’s GOP debate.…
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to lead a pro-Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) super Political Action Committee (PAC) called “Keep the Promise to Veterans.”
Perry will recruit veterans to the Super PAC, which will help bring attention to the issues affecting veterans in America.…
…Though I am certain there are people who support Donald Trump who know how to behave like civilized human beings, they seem to be lost in the cacophony of Trump’s more ardent fans.
Not since Barack Obama ran for President in 2008 have I witnessed such vitriol targeting those who oppose a chosen candidate.…
Four years ago, James O’Keefe released a video which showed how easy it would be for people to vote in New Hampshire using the names of deceased people. As a result of that video, New Hampshire changed its voter ID laws. Project Veritas Action revisited New Hampshire during Tuesday’s presidential primary election and again showed how easy it is to cast fraudulent votes with the new law fully in place. In this new video, multiple election officials and Bernie Sanders presidential campaign staffers offered advice to journalists using hidden cameras about how to circumvent the law.
…
Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File,” Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said of the profanity his rival Donald Trump uses on the campaign trail, “You don’t want kids hearing this stuff.”…
…“I have both won elections that I was supposed to lose and I’ve lost elections I was supposed to win and what that means is you never know what will happen,” Christie said in a statement. “That is both the magic and the mystery of politics – you never quite know when which is going to happen, even when you think you do.”…
…“While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them,” Fiorina said in a statement announcing her campaign suspension.…
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a bar. Donald leans over, and with a smile on his face, says, “The media are really tearing you apart for that scandal.”
Hillary: “You mean my lying about Benghazi?” …
…We’re going to have businesses that used to be in New Hampshire, that are now in Mexico, come back to New Hampshire. And, you can tell them to go (blank) themselves.
Trump never used the word f*ck in this speech.…
Stay classless, chump.
…Trump: She just said a terrible thing. You know what she said? Shout it out because I don’t want to…
Crowd member: Pussy!
Trump: I never expect to hear that from you again. She said – I never expect to hear that from you again – She said he’s a p*ssy. (crowd roars) That’s terrible terrible. That’s terrible!…
… Cruz was hit from all sides when a staffer used a CNN report that Dr Carson might leave the race.
Cruz did not pull a Hillary, claiming ignorance while throwing the staffer under the bus. Cruz took full responsibility and apologized. Do not take Cruz’s apology lightly folks. …
…Stumping for his wife in New Hampshire, serial sexual harasser and accused rapist William Jefferson Clinton is attacking Bernie Sanders’ supporters for being sexist.…
…Cruz's team explicitly cited CNN's reporting in its emails. Carson himself has sent emails blaming CNN. Cruz correctly pointed out what happened on CNN, as you can see from the transcript above. And while CNN reporters tweeted that Carson wasn’t dropping out, as did Carson staffers, CNN did not report on air that Carson was staying in the race until later in the evening.…
…If Carson wants to talk about the depths of deception and dishonesty he should “start looking at the man in the mirror.”…
…The celebrity admitted laughingly to having “a fling” with her at the time and acknowledged her election “would be a great advancement for LGBT and Women rights in America” she added.
…To strengthen national security, enhance the value of citizenship, and stop illegal immigration, we must take three steps:
• First, secure the border, once and for all. No other reform is meaningful if we do not fix our porous southern border.
• Second, strengthen and enforce our existing immigration laws. We must reverse President Obama’s enforcement “priorities,” which allow a large number of criminal aliens to unlawfully remain in the United States.
• Third, pursue reforms to the legal-immigration system that will prioritize the interests and well-being of Americans. As a nation built by those fleeing persecution and seeking freedom, we must once against welcome and celebrate legal immigrants while at the same time protecting American jobs and interests.
The following outlines my plan to stop illegal immigration, restore the Rule of Law, and reform our legal immigration system to protect Americans.…
