Ted Cruz pleased with the news that former President Jimmy Carter picked him over Donald Trump in the Republican presidential contest.

“If I had a choice between Cruz and Trump, I think I would choose Trump”, Carter said.
FYI, those of us who aren’t opposed to everything Trump says but still can’t get behind him are generally unwilling to do so precisely because of his “malleability”. “I don’t think he has any fixed (positions) he’d go the White House and fight for”. “I know there was a lot of Democrat problems as far as the caucus”. The network added that he planned to stay in the race.
“I’m so much into this, into New Hampshire, that I just — I don’t care about that anymore”, Trump said in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in Manchester, just five days out from next Tuesday’s primary contest here.

Cruz pivoted to how substance-free Trump wants the campaign to be, but when asked about the specific “cheater” accusations, he said, “Donald Trump’s insults get more and more hysterical the more and more upset he gets”.
Carter’s comments have even become a part of Cruz’s argument against Trump on the campaign trail.
Still, Trump has repeatedly insisted that he will “repeal and replace Obamacare”, which he said once again Wednesday night here to raucous applause.
While Cruz vocally supported Roberts’ nomination at the time, he was not yet a US senator and therefore could not vote to confirm Roberts to the Supreme Court.
Trump’s speech Wednesday at Barton Coliseum touched largely on economic policy, including trade with China.
Cruz won the Iowa caucuses with 28% of the vote, while Trump came in second place with 24%. Do the math. If that cost Carson four votes per precinct to switch to Cruz, then Cruz beats Trump.

“Whether you like it or not, they left you”, he said.
