Heidi Cruz calls husband 'an immigrant,' campaign staff quickly retracts

clownboy said:
And none of that is the point at all. Heidi Cruz just managed, the day before a crucial election, to revive an anti-Cruz talking point strong among low information voters. "You see Bertha, even his wife let it slip". Let's see, the guy doesn't even know what a basketball hoop is, gets put in his place by an Indiana Trump supporter in front of the press and all assembled, AND his wife outed him as an immigrant. All the week before folks go to vote.

LOL, we know the point, that's why Donald wears a hat or does that silly comb over- :shock:

He wasn't 'outed', his wife misspoke- like any other person... if the polls are correct Donald is going to win Indiana anyway, Hiede doesn't change anything.

Just some silly crap to gloat about in a race that is historic- for how repulsive the PUB side has been... Epic in fact... :peace

Not gloating, and yes outed is right. Look Ted had his super PAC do this same thing to Trump in Utah. Dumped an ad making spurious allegations the week before the vote there and then refused to disavow until after the votes were in. It's nice to see karma in action.

Yeah. What gets me is the line they were pushing last week about Trump saying the stuff he's saying to win the primary but once he's the nominee he'll be a different person. Doesn't say much for the Donald or the people supporting him.

Actually, no, it's not.

Dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald has 996 delegates, Cruz has 565 and Kasich has 153. There are 571 still available. If Cruz got all of those he would beat dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald. Because last I checked 565 plus 571 beats 996. If Kasich got all of those he would only beat Cruz. So it is not mathematically impossible for Cruz to beat dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald.It is however mathematically impossible for Kasich to beat dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald, and therefore impossible for Kasich to win.


Trump already has more votes than any republican ever at this point in the process. But I see you're mixing up votes with delegate count.
Click to expand...

A lot of those votes come form democrats trying to rat **** the republican primary in order to prop up Dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald so he can get curb stomped by Clinton.

Again, Cruz would have to take near 100% of the remaining delegates to get more than Trump, a practical impossibility. And again, the standard isn't to get more delegates than the other fellow, it's to reach 1,237 (btw, that's the context Cruz was using when he made the statement) - that's impossible for Cruz. By his own metric, he should be dropping out.
Click to expand...

Trump needs 42% of those remaining 571 delegates to get to 1237. If each candidate got a 1/3rd if the remaining delegates Trump will not get to 1237. Cruz needs 87% - 90% of the remaining delegates to beat Dumb-ass cronyism flip-flopping liberal Donald.

Givs yourself a decade or two and you'll realize what most folks do - that's true of every single candidate, both parties. The candidates are expected to transition to general election candidacy.

Trump-tards love to use the "but that was yesterday he said that" or some variation of that excuse to justify his flip flops and support and praise of establishment politicians. It is going to be funny as hell when Trump basically uses that excuse to stab his supporters in the back.

This'll be my 9th Presidential election. There's a difference between over promising, which they all do, and and lying about one intends to do, which Trumps seems to be doing.

Yes, it is mathematically impossible for Cruz to get 100% of the delegates going forward. Everyone seems to know that but you.

I see you're taking a page from Lyin Ted. Of course you omit that Trump is leading in all the remaining contests - including Indiana.

Face it, you hitched your horse to the broken post, it's gone and it aint comin' back.

I can not believe you chose that picture of Trump to be your avatar. It maybe the most unflattering picture of Trump I have ever seen. He looks angry and out of control.

If you were not a Trump supporter I would take you for an anti-Trump guy with that picture. On the other hand, I suppose it all says so much about those that support this guy.

Nope, it's not about over-promising. It's about the difference between winning the primaries and winning the general. In the primary you're speaking to your own party, in the general you take an entirely different tone and speak to both parties.

So which version of the candidate you believe?


1.The pre-election version of that candidate of when he wasn't running for president was supporting all kids of liberal ****?

2.The primary-election version of that candidate who is claiming he is patriotic and loves this country by opposing illegal immigration,outsourcing and other liberal and globalist ****?

3. The general-election version of the candidate who under the guise of being moderate decides to switch back to his pre-election liberal positions in order to win more voters?

Trump's going to have to walk back pretty far to appeal to the rest of the electorate. It'll be interesting to see how far he actually moderates.

A question that once again you can ask of every candidate who ever took their party's nomination for POTUS - ever, both parties. Don't try to pretend this is something new that only applies to Trump.

Btw, which candidate is running with his birth name? Which is running under an assumed name hoping to avoid certain associations? Let's ask Rafael Cruz shall we? At least Little Marco didn't play that game.

He only needs 87 to 90 percent of the remaining delegates to beat Trump.Which its probably doesn't even have to be that high considering the fact Kasich is still in the race.

The sore loser will be Trump-tards when Clinton curb stomps Trump in the general and it comes out that most of those democrats who voted in the primary did not really support Trump.Getting the most primary votes in history due to opposing parties voting in your party's primary is nothing to brag about.


This is what Clinton is going to do to Trump in the general election.

Aren't Trump-tards the ones arguing that is foolish to care about poll results for elections or contests that haven't happened yet? Because you people obviously don't care that the polls that show Clinton curb stomping Trump in the general.

'Had his super-pac'???? which super pac was that and what were the 'spurious' allegations???

Again this doesn't change the polls, Trump is rather comfortable out in first place when it comes to Indiana, Hiedi doesn't sink Cruz's chances- they weren't there to begin with...

so yeah gloating as the two biggest hot messes in the process race to the bottom, and then start digging!!! :peace

That is politics, happens in every election, I do not think Cruz is getting signaled out for special attention. If it was Trump or Clinton, it would still make the news.

No we wouldn't have. For one, we would be busy pointing out the continual gaffes that come from Trump the candidate.

But please. Tell me about this new standard that you have about the importance of judging mis-speaks, and people saying things only to later retract them. :) I'm all ears.

No, again, mathematically he'd need the same impossible percentage without Kasich being in the race. And "only"? That's pure LOL right there.

Nice scenario you cooked up. Too bad it's not at all accurate. But hey, got any numbers to back that up, or is it just another guess like the ones you've put forward thus far that have been proven wrong.

This sort of silliness seems to be all the Rafael supporters have left.

Another page taken from Lyin ted. The answer is a solid NO. General election polls during the primary are unreliable. Primary polling during the primaries, are often reliable.

No you're not all ears where it comes to your favorite son Rafael. And "mis-speaks" become germane when they happen the day before a crucial vote for your campaign. Rail against that as much as you wish, won't change the truth of it.

:shrug: I'm not a huge fan of Cruz for President. But I like the desperate attempt to divert from the fact that you are trying to get away with mocking Heidi Cruz for doing once what your candidate does regularly.

So which version of Trump do you Trust? The one that was espousing liberal views when he wasn't running for president? The one who was espousing patriotic conservative views for primary votes? Or the Trump that will go back to his liberal views under the guise of being a moderate in hopes of getting the most votes in the general election? When Trump starts saying no he won't build a wall, won't crack down on outsourcing, that he is going to give a pathway to citizenship for all illegals and enact Reagan Amnesty II you are just going to tell yourself that he is only saying those things to get votes?



Btw, which candidate is running with his birth name? Which is running under an assumed name hoping to avoid certain associations? Let's ask Rafael Cruz shall we? At least Little Marco didn't play that game.
Click to expand...

So you think Cruz went with Ted instead of Rafael?Is it because he was worried about racists not voting for him because of a Hispanic,Jewish,French,Italian or some other foreign sounding name? Kind of hard stretch seeing how Cruz is a Hispanic or foreign sounding name itself. I know die hard anti-Obama tards used to say Barack HUSSEIN Obama jr., Hussein Obama, or just Hussein trying to infer he is a Muslim or related to Saddam Hussein.

Ted is a nickname for Edward.Many people go by their middle names and nick names.

Location, location, location...and timing. I'm not mocking Heidi Cruz at all. Hers was a mistake in what was a campaign, before the flailing about began, ran very tightly. This is just another error, at the wrong time and place, that is coming to typify the end of the Cruz campaign.
