Because you want Cruz to win.   Funny how that works.

 

What did you think of Trump's Bloomberg interview?  How do you rate his dance moves at his recent town hall meeting?

Right. That is exactly the point. The poster agrees with you, he's supposedly independent I think, so he will be voting for the party of change that has dominated the last 16 years.

The reason for my comment on that clip is..

I am a bit defensive about disrespecting law enforcement. I have lots of support for those that put their lives on the line, even for wimps like Cruz. 

So, seeing him smirk just reminds me of how shallow the guy is. 

Interesting that a person who is pro law enforcement would use that as a reason to vote left. That's the only reason a liberal friend of mine finally switched to the right, he is pro law enforcement.

So did this one from Allred -

 

“When Cruz starts talking about teen sports, you  gotta watch out because the only position he ever played was ‘left out’. I’m not trying to be mean but sit this one out.”

I agree that you cant be for the Jan 6 mob and the officers.

And for a guy that would not have the stones to do that job to smirk at it, is more than lame.

I was worried when I saw the posts here about it, but seeing some of the live clips it didn't seem too bad. I see his DJT is up 11 percent atm.

 

The negative coverage of the dance thing confirms my bias. A total media fabrication so easily swallowed by so many. They finds a clip of DJT making a weird face during the 20 minutes pause,  and place it beside  Kamala looking like JFK.  Hilarious actually. Do you know why music was playing?

If you think he was smirking at those officers you are wrong. He was smirking at what he considers to be the lies of his opponent. 

 

Maybe what you mean is you are not allowed to have a smirk on your face when someone is talking about Jan 6.

If that's your point I'm afraid I have no clue what you are talking about.

 

Trump stock did go up a bit today but not much.  It's still down quite a bit don't you think?

 

Negative coverage of the dance thing?  All news sites had to do (and did do) was show the clip and title it something 'Trump dances for 40 minutes'.

 

The music played after a medical emergency of some sort.  Everybody dances after a medical emergency.

 

And lest anyone think saying Cruz hid in a closet was a lie, here's Cruz's own words:

 

Cruz revealed his whereabouts on the day of the deadly Capitol attack – which unsuccessfully aimed to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election – in a new book.

“In the fog of the confusion, it was difficult to tell exactly what was happening,” Cruz wrote. “We were informed that a riot had broken out and that rioters were attempting to breach the building.

“While we waited for the Capitol to be secured, I assembled our coalition in a back room (really, a supply closet with stacked chairs)

Strange that your friend would vote for a career criminal with a history of molesting children over a DA if he's pro law enforcement.

I'm not watching 40 mins to get context. People who were their said it was handled appropriately. Actually, maybe I will watch it just to be amazed (once again) at the wacked out spin it surely received.

Why would  a leftist publication's interpretation, with no backup, no picture, hold any water.? The fact they would try to label a back room a closet, as if it mattered, shows their laughable bias.

I read.  I re-read.  Your point (a.k.a. personal opinion) is noted though not fully agreed with.  For all we know Republican women will decide this election behind their partners backs.

 

Still quite down though isn't it?

 

I didn't watch for 40 minutes either. I watched maybe a minute or two. I don't know who could or would watch the whole thing.  I'm just convinced it happened and that it was truly weird  Spin it how you wish.  I'd like to see you describe it as Presidential and the actions of a very stable genius.

 

Leftist publication?  Maybe.  But whose words where they quoting?  Just who was the author of the book they took the excerpts from?  Who said this? '(really, a supply closet with stacked chairs)

Sure thing. Cancun Cruz understands that more than anyone. When Donald J Trump calls him “Lyin Ted”, and calls his wife ugly, then it’s presidential.

Jimmy Carter Has Fulfilled His Final Dream

Jimmy Carter is damn fine man-- a hero in FACT

A man who saved many lives, in Canada, and around the world.

https://www.military.com/history/how-jimmy-carter-saved-canadian-nuclear-reactor-after-meltdown.html

America's 39th president has held a lot of jobs in his time. Apart from being president of the United States (and sometimes while serving as president), Jimmy Carter has been a peanut farmer, preacher, professor and even a parole officer. But he started his adult life as a U.S. Navy officer, most famously working with Adm. Hyman Rickover, the "Father of the Nuclear Navy."

Though he started his naval career aboard diesel electric submarines, Lt. Carter began working with the Naval Reactors Branch of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission -- the Navy's nuclear submarine program -- in 1952.

------

. So when Canada's Chalk River nuclear research facility experienced a power surge that damaged its reactor, the U.S. sent Carter and his team. He was one of a few people in the world who could do it.

Fuel rods at the research reactor experienced a partial meltdown after the power surge. It ruptured the reactor and flooded the facility's basement with radioactive water, rendering the reactor core unusable.

 

----------------------------------

------------------------------------------

https://www.cartercenter.org/health/guinea_worm/index.html

Since 1986, The Carter Center has led the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease, working closely with ministries of health and local communities, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and many others.

Guinea worm disease could become the second human disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. It would be the first parasitic disease to be eradicated and the first disease to be eradicated without the use of a vaccine or medicine.

=======================================================

A true hero.

A great Man.

Huh? Seems like a weak attack that Cruz finds amusing.  Bad news though if people like you are perceiving things like this. Looks like the party of change, that's been in power for the last 4 years, and 12 of the last 16, isn't going anywhere.

 

I watched a fair portion of the debate.  Cruz lost.  As for my murder comment, that was solely about hitting him with the broom closet comment.  Cancun Cruz is a well known coward.

 

Also, just like his Senate colleagues, I have never liked Ted Cruz, so my opinion is very biased against him.

 

Because of my bias against Cruz, you definitely do not want to use me as a litmus test when it comes to judging who independents will vote for.

 

Same thing with my national stances.  I'm not a typical voter.  It's important to me that I'm not a hypocrite so I'll vote for a 3rd party candidate in every race there is one available.

 

I want 3rd and 4th party choices.  Until then, I hope that neither current party ever gets total control again.  They're both too radical overall at this point for my tastes.  One side has it's acolytes thinking that it farts rainbows and craps puppies, while the other side has it's acolytes reveling and calling for their leaders to take the asshole side of every political decision whether it hurts them personally or not.

 

In short, I'm not a typical citizen or voter.  My opinions are my own and do not reflect the vast majority of other people.

I've yet to meet another person who votes like I do.  The last thing that you want to do is use me as a litmus test.

 

The presidency will be won in the battleground states and right now, Donald Trump is edging out Kamala according to politicos. 

 

That's why Democrats are starting to sound desperate and are reportedly even taking shots at a demographic in their own voter base trying to shame anyone who has defected.

We don't use words like that in this day and age. The correct term when referring to Flyin' Ted and his wife is Pulchritudily Challenged.....

 

That being said, in less polite society, the best descriptor would be, "If my dog looked like that, I'd shave it's ass and teach it to walk backwards"....
