Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button?
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Mr Trump’s proposed ban should disqualify him from the presidency, deriding him as a “carnival barker with fake hair” whose campaign belonged in the “dustbin of history”.
That might, however, be exactly what the Texas Senator wants. I assume he was joking, but for a presidential person, representing us in such tough times – we have terrorism and all of the problems – for him to make that comment, I thought it was so ridiculous.
What do you think of Cruz questioning Trump’s judgment privately- while speaking of him in highly positive terms publicly? Aside from getting a small percentage of Americans worked into a frothing rage over perceptions of an entire group of people, Clinton points out that Trump is “playing right into the hands of the terrorists” by gift-wrapping their propaganda for them.
During an interview with Fox News’s Chris Wallace, the billionaire said Republicans are “kidding themselves” if they think he won’t secure the GOP nomination. That is the point Cruz was making.
Though Cruz also said he “like(s) and respect(s)” Trump and Carson, he questioned their fitness to lead the country.
“I am a Muslim, and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world”. Who understands the threats we face?’ He lied just, like Obama lied about Obamacare, just like they lie about so much.
Along those lines, the New York Times reports that Cruz also stated that he was “thrilled” to have Trump in the race because he’s helped make the 2016 Republican primary about standing up to Washington – a theme of Cruz’s own campaign.
Cruz said he was “not going to comment on what I may or may not have said at a private fundraiser”. “And ultimately the decision is, who has the right judgment and the right experience to serve as Commander in Chief?”
