In what’s more evidence that Donald Trump is becoming completely unhinged, he is now stooping so low as to label Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz “a bit of a maniac”:
I don’t think he’s qualified to be president… I don’t think he has the right temperament. I don’t think he’s got the right judgment… You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a — you know, frankly like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way.
Donald’s appeal is that he is a bit of a maniac, and Ted’s appeal is that he is a bit of a maniac, which makes me think this is an attempt by Donald to keep the Cuckservative establishment from being able to coalesce around Cruz as a remedy to the problem the Donald presents. If Donald can convince the Cucks that Ted is as dangerous a guy as he is, they will cower in the back of their closets on election day, instead of gritting their teeth and voting for Ted en masse to defeat Donald.
What is slightly unnerving about this to me is it implies whoever gave Donald those lines doesn’t understand the Conservative revolutionaries who support both him and Ted – and it might just be Donald himself. We want maniacs. We want people who will shut down Congress, gleefully tell liberals to fuck off, and be castigated as maniacs by our opposition. We want people who will shut down the government, and keep it from making things any worse. When Donald says things like this, we get the impression that he wants to get in there, make friends with all the corrupt assholes in office, and get government running again, as if government is this benevolent friend who will help us so well, if we just let it.
If Donald makes these arguments more often, he will turn off a lot of his own supporters, who love him because they view him as a maniac who will stop government in its tracks with his steely intransigence and unwavering willingness to stand his ground. This is the second tactical misstep by Trump now, coming on the heels of his no-fly list faux pas. He is still a dominant force, but I am beginning to think that he may not fully understand the movement that is building within the Republican primary, or how to successfully ride it to victory with ease. If he had both his manipulative/rhetorical abilities and an understanding of the movement he would be able to beat Cruz easily. Without it, it will be a horserace, and I suspect Cruz will end up taking it, unless Donald gets better advisers on the nature of the movement behind him.

is Cruz a maniac. not really. but he is establishment.
he supports the TPP and wrote the language that would give obama total control of the trade deal.
this trade deal is a big step in the one world control. incidentally Cruz’s wife and her Goldman Sachs position and her working for the CFR just highlights how Cruz is working from the inside to undermine the constitution and the USA.
That is Cruz’s drawback, but lacking millions, playing ball with the establishment is the only way he would have a chance at getting to the WH, so is it forgivable? Again, I don’t in any way oppose Trump – I will be very happy if he wins. I feel he is practically equal in advantages to Cruz. My belief is Trump isn’t diehard conservative, but he also isn’t establishment. Cruz is establishment, but he has kind of boxed himself in to highly Conservative positions, and having appealed outright to conservatives to get elected, I think it more likely than not he will leave the dance with the ones who brought him on every issue.
The bottom line is if Trump wanted to Trump Cruz easily, he would just need to say that one, he will bow to the NRA on everything, two he would select SC Justices based on how loud leftists would scream, and three, he views all aspects of leftism as the preeminent threat facing the nation. Then he is basically Cruz, plus the immigration, and the hostility to the establishment.
Guns are everything in my view, because the whole fucking thing is going down. So my view is the guns are what will keep good Americans alive, and allow America to be rebuilt as quickly as possible. I think Cruz will be 100% pro-gun, but obviously there are no guarantees.
Don’t bet on it.
Trump is the ONLY one not completely OWNED! His supporters know this. Only low IQ fundy’s can’t connect Rafael’s Jerusalem ring kissing to that ownership.
Do you remember Mr. George W. “I’ll shrink the size of government” Bush? Who would fall for another cuckservative when the Honorable tell-it-like-it-is Donald is available?
Trump can only gain supporters from Cruz. No Trump supporter is so unaware as to support Rafael.
It is a great case. I can’t argue that giving the Republican Party to Trump to clean out the establishment wouldn’t be great at almost any cost. But I do demand two things – no arbitrary government order that someone can’t buy a gun, and I want assault weapons – no bans/no mag restrictions. I’d really like NFA restrictions repealed, but I can live without it. I like Trump, but he needs to come out and make a statement that lets the NRA folk know there is zero chance he won’t go squishy on any of that.
And that isn’t a critique so much as advice. I like Trump, but I think Cruz is better on guns, which is my only real red line issue.
Also, I think it is important for Trump and Cruz to stay positive toward each other, from an amygdala standpoint. Trump has a lot of people like me who like both him and Ted. If I like A and B, and A is positive toward B, that reinforces my feelings of kinship with A. If B insults A, that will cause a subtle aversive stimulus in the amygdala associated with B that doesn’t exist with A, since I like A and B just insulted something I like. These things don’t affect individuals so much, but when dealing with millions of people, it can shift the numbers a point or two which can be important.
Trump stated that the US is being taken for a ride on a lot of issues, domestic and international. He claims that the biggest reason for this is that our leaders negotiate bad deals and that he would negotiate better deals that protect our interests. I don’t think Trump ever presented himself as a total iconoclast (a label that Cruz would probably relish)

here is a great article outlining Cruz and how he is just another elitist.
http://newswithviews.com/Nelson/kelleigh256.htm
check out some of the other articles Kelleigh Nelson has written. some of the content may be new to conservatives and how few of you (conservatives) there really are.
at the end of the article there is a reference to the fact that Breitbart media is co-opted by both the left and the elitist GOP.
while you are at it AC you may want to include this in a post.

If you think Trump turns off his supporters with anything hes said, you dont understand his base. Trump has had 25%-30% of the intended voters already in his pocket since he made immigration security and enforcement his primary issue. Why would any immigration patriot vote for anyone else but Trump? At minimum, thats how many delegates hes guaranteed to have at a brokered convention, assuming Trump doesnt win it outright before then. Only cuckservatives care about Trump’s rhetoric, the same people still behind losers like Jeb and Kasich. He clearly isnt fed any lines at all and is just straight-talking from the gut. Otherwise remarks like about Fiorina’s face would never be made if he had mental guardrails like the rest of the candidates.
And Cruz has been playing the same slimy game of riding Trump’s coattails, hoping he’ll implode and grab his base. What he doesnt understand is a lot of Trump’s supporters cant stand Cruz. He just comes off too sleazy and untrustworthy.
I think Trump’s base is a little more diverse, as I consider myself part of it. I basically want somebody who is not part of the uni-party. My main issue is guns, as I think if we keep them, then we can always defend our positions, protect our freedoms, and drive back the tide of immigrants later. To that end, I see an edge to Cruz since Donald’s no-fly faux pas, and I suspect I am far from alone, since Donald gave the impression he wasn’t obsessed with supporting the NRA.
That said, I like both candidates, but obviously it is all a game of chance. Donald could be a left-leaning Republican using immigration to manipulate us, or Cruz could be a CFR/Establishment/Goldman-Sachs plant who was building a cover these past few years just to trick us. You just can’t tell.
From what I have seen both look head and shoulders above the rest as options, and I will be happy to see either win as they are , but I know that is an environment filled with smoke and mirrors. After G.W., I don’t trust anybody to be what they seem.
After a stint in the USN during the ‘Nam- I don’t trust anybody to be what they seem, either. It is all smoke and mirrors in our hall of illusions, indeed. Sir, your words are enlightening; your commitment to the second amendment is commendable- but the only thing that will matter at the last is a commitment to old Mr. Heston’s words: “from my cold dead hands”. I understand your impatience with this slow-motion train wreck; when it finally goes off the rails, I pray our pack is as prepared as they speak it.
I saw an interview where Trump said he wanted no more gun laws. I can’t remember exactly what he said but my impression was he was going to in no way make more gun laws.
In his CPAC speech, Trump sounded many themes popular with Republican conservatives. “I am pro-life,” he said. “I am against gun control.”

I don’t see Cruz as being anything but establishment. The right side of it for sure but I can’t see him rocking the boat. I don’t know what Trump is going to do. None of us really do. I’ve seen some things that make me think he’s a dark horse set up to pull in all the people against immigration. He has said nothing about mass legal immigration. On the other hand if he does what he says then he would be great.
The problem is we are a manipulated people. Everything we see on TV, hear on the radio and see in the papers is manipulated to some extent. The fact that Trump garners so much TV time worries me. They should be just ignoring him but they’re not. There’s also dog whistles to people like me who know that we’ve been attacked and the results manipulated to push the wars for Israel. Roger Stone a Trump adviser went on Alex Jones and said that Trump believed that 9-11 was “hinkey”. Well it was more than hinkey. Even worse Alex Jones is controlled opposition. Not that a lot of what he says isn’t true it’s just said in such a way as to never narrow down as to who exactly is doing the dirty stuff. There is fierce propaganda all throughout the media. I have a decent idea of what’s going on by triangulating between the different sources but I admit it stumps me at times the lies are so deep.
Trump is one of those things that stumps me. I find it hard to believe that he’s what he says he is yet he doesn’t seem to be anything else. The end result is none of the other candidates is even close to supporting any of my main issues. So Trumps it.
Fully reasonable, and I can’t argue with it. I think the issue comes down to giving the establishment some say with Cruz, and maybe getting more certainty on some things, or give up the certainty, and fuck the establishment royally. It is a tough call, and we do have very little info to make it relatively.
Fwiw – my theory has always been that Trump originally planned to get in, make some noise, and get out. As he has done several times before. However this time he got totally blindsided by his popularity. So he has been making it up as he goes along. (Having spent all of his life in the private he is clearly good at that.) Now he has to be serious about it or lose all credibility. If he loses fair and square he still goes home a winner and the new “go-to” guy. If Bush or Rubio lose, they go home losers. Not sure about Cruz though. I think he has a future, regardless.
