How did Trump get to the top of the pack?
- Thread starter reason10
- Start date
He was against allowing Muslims to build a Mosque in a place that was zoned for a church.
Can you give more detail please
Bull shtye!
Just a heads up you're going to find that I'm incredibly difficult to provoke. I know I'm I'm young, I know I'm in the minority on here when it comes to being a fan and supporter of Ted Cruz but your insults towards him and any insults towards me will not provoke me into a fight. If you want to talk about Ted Cruz's ideas and how you disagree with them then great, I'll participate and listen, but otherwise it's not going to work on me. I wasn't raised to insult others and I wasn't raised to get into an argument with someone that does. Can you give details as to how Cruz hates black people and how he is evil?
There are a number of reasons I think that Ted Cruz is actually dangerous, and they all stem from the fact that he is an evangelical Christian ideologue, and he uses that to take strikes at the guarantees of freedom and equality that we are promised by the Constitution.
And he's the one who made me feel that way. He's said, publicly, that he believes the only way to save the US is by turning it into a Christian theocracy.
He associates with hate groups like the "American Family Association" (which is where he said the only way to save the US is to turn it into a Christian theocracy), and claims that Christianity and religious freedom are under attack while at the same time attacking the very document that guarantees religious freedom by saying that states don't have to recognize the Supreme Court's rulings about the constitutionality of hate-based discriminatory laws.
As to that Supreme Court ruling, he went to stand with Kim Davis, who was in clear violation of her Oath of Office and the Constitution in her refusal to abide by the Supreme Court's decision.
Look at the Planned Parenthood debacle, where the attempt to take PP down with lies backfired and saw the people trying it being charged.
Cruz stood with others who want to bring down PP based on edited videos and lies and, even when it was proven to be edited video and lies, stood by that. He was given the actual facts and chose to ignore them. Like any Tea Party candidate or member you'd care to name, fact does not shake belief for him. It's an amazing kind of insanity in and of itself. But so is Charles Manson, and I certainly wouldn't want him running for President, either.
Cruz talked about the "greatness" of Jesse Helms, a racist who supported Apartheid, did what he could to block the appointment of black judges and tried to keep Martin Luther King Jr. Day from being a national holiday. This is a man Cruz admires.
Of course, he's also responsible for the government shutdown which cost the US economy, according to Standard & Poors, $24 billion.
Ted Cruz is a religious ideologue who is immune to facts and is only interested in ripping out those parts of the Constitution that do not fit his "Christian theocracy" ideal.
If I was forced at gunpoint to vote between him and the idiot Trump (who I think is dangerous for different reasons), I'd have to pick Trump because I think he's slightly less dangerous than Cruz.
And please don't take this the wrong way, Cowgirl. I'm not swinging at religion in general, or the religious. I'm talking about ideologues who would do their best to force their beliefs, ethics and morals, however skewed, on those who may not share those beliefs, ethics and morals, or not to the same degree. That's what I find makes him so dangerous.

Did your mammy ever have any kids that lived?
Kinda cool, huh? He gets the big numbers and spends the least amount of money for them.
I'm just thinking how cool it would be for the federal budget to be handled in such a fashion. Maybe we get a bigger bang for less bucks.
Yes he is. Right now, he's more believable than any other candidate.
You're considering Massatoosetts a gutter state? The really stupid people are the supporters of Hillary. And the FUCKING IDIOT MORONS WHO DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORK A JOB FOR A LIVING are supporting Sanders.
If nothing else, when THE DONALD wins in a landslide, I'm hoping those idiots get a nice letter from Uncle Sam in lieu of their welfare check. One that says GET OFF YOUR FAT FUCKING LAZY ASS AND GET A JOB, DICKHEAD.
You're the only racist here, BITCH.
Crawl back under the rock you oozed from, DICK FOR BRAINS.
Short answer: He's against gay marriage
Short answer: He's against government funded abortions no matter what
Short answer: I'll never vote for a Christian who is honest about his Christianity.
Look up the so called, ground zero mosque.
His focus is on a Christian America excluding all others he would govern, a religiously pularistic people needs a President whose focus is on all not just Christisns.
Cruz is a candidate that is Christian identity politics and he is running for an America that doesn't exist anymore if it ever did.
I am not a Christian, I want someone who represents all of America.
I'm not so sure about that last part. Most of those contenders were egomaniacs who never should have run and were too stubborn to get out when their poll numbers started tanking.
The latest CNN poll has him at 49 percent.
Don't bet the farm on that. It's possible that Trump will redraw the Electoral College map. He's the only candidate who could do that. Unless New York State makes good on its threat to let illegal aliens vote, Trump will win that state. He could take Massatoosetts, Michigan and Wisconsin. We know he's going to win Florida and Ohio.
That's a FUCKING LIE. He does very well with Hispanics, (at least in several states he has won) and it appears that 25 percent of blacks support him.
Without blacks, Hillary might as well leave the race. She has nothing else.
Hillary's personality is going to be a real advantage for Trump. After he eviscerates her at the first and only debate they have, the Nurse Ratched bitch that throws ashtrays at people will come out. It is premature to imagine her carrying any group at all.
That would be a problem for ANY candidate but Trump. The rest of them would be afraid to go there. Trump isn't afraid of anything. He can DESTROY Hillary's alleged advantage with women just by casually bringing up her sexual predator/rapist of a husband and how she enabled that bastard to get away with so much. He'll do it. He's got nothing to lose.
He's the only one in the race who can.
Look at the promises he made. They are mostly about trade and about building a wall. THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. And he's brilliant at it. He is not only a genius negotiator, he knows the best negotiators in the world. He WILL get those jobs back from China. He WILL get that Trump Wall built and he WILL get Mexico to pay for it. And I'm thinking that Mexico will probably just cut him a check rather than having to deal with the flip side of what he'll do if they don't.
That'll be one of Trump's easiest battles. And no other candidate would have the balls to do this.
Her husband was a sexual predator and a rapist. He used the power of his office to commit acts of sexual harassment that would have gotten him FIRED in any other line of work. Hillary ENABLED all that. And word of that enabling will be plastered all over ads all over the country. And Trump has a lot of money to spend on those ads.
He'll have young feminists DISGUSTED with Hillary.
You don't know anything. Trump is pro life. His tax plan (at least the one on his website) is almost a mirror image of the Reagan tax cuts that created the greatest economy in history. His company has a high cash flow and low debt. That means America soon will have high cash flow with low debt. He's going to get rid of Obamacare and his solutions are almost a mirror image of those of the Heritage Foundation.
Lying about Trump is pathetic, even from you.
Actual answer: He's against the equality guaranteed in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. He is willing to gut portions of the Constitution in order to attain his goal of maintaining bigotry and hatred against an entire group of people based solely upon his religious ideology, which is in direct contravention of the Constitution he claims to cherish.
That case had nothing to do with gay marriage. It was about equal protection under the law.
Actual answer: He is willing to ignore fact and reality, even when facts are presented to him, and stands by entirely erroneous assumptions in the face of those facts, no matter what. Ergo: truth is not as important to him as to what he wants and he will use any method - even supporting lies - to that end.
Actual answer: I have voted for Christians in the past. I became eligible to vote in 1987, and the candidates who have run since then (and before, only two (Lincoln and Andrew Johnson didn't specify their religion)) were Christians.
I will vote for those I believe best suited to the position of President, regardless of their faith. But I will not vote for an ideologue, regardless of their faith.
I speak and write very clearly, leaningright, and do not need anyone to translate for me - especially someone as ill-equipped to do so as you. I'll thank you to stop trying to put words in my mouth because you're never going to get away with it.
