I’m looking forward to a wall-to-wall coverage of Fox News of the impressive third-place finish, which Marco Rubio got,” Cruz said. “So, I’m sure that’s what we’ll see on every show on Fox today, the shockingly impressive third-place finish of Cruz.”
I’m impressed with Cruz’ willingness to call out FOX for this, and worthwhile to note, FOX is not “our network” .
The media – even Fox – despise Cruz. One only has to look at the still shots they use to accompany any reporting on him. Granted he has a Grandpa Munster look to him, but they really do go out of their way to find the absolute worst shots of him. They employ the same tactic with Trump of course. I hate the media. With a passion.
Of course Fox hates him. He has demonstrated that he has principles. Proof?
Last year when a particular bill came to the floor of the Senate (I believe that is was the Pacific Trade thing), it was reported that it had a bunch of other crap in it. Cruz asked the President of the Senate if that was true, and the Mitch McConnell said “no”.
McConnell lied. The bill had a bunch of nasty left wing stuff in it.
Cruz took to the floor of the Senate and TOLD EVERYONE THAT MITCH MCCONNELL HAD LIED TO HIM.
Of course the elites hate him, even more than they hate Trump.
The really horrible part is that Cruz was censured on the Senate floor for this.
So he gets my support.
Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs, and GS is a big contributor to him.
Another bought and paid for errand boy, no matter what he blusters.
Trump 2016.
I’m also looking forward to seeing the same. We all have to appreciate the fact the media plays a great role when it comes to publicity of individuals. It is also true that the media to a far or lesser extent is responsible for influencing the masses by promoting a particular image of a given individual.
Rent a boy Rubio and Hillary for hire will be the two left standing.
FOX has lost me. Lost me on the night that Megynn (however she spells it) Kelly attempted to target and destroy Trump. But NOT for THAT. No, she and FOX lost me when she put Debbie Wasserman Schultz on immediately following the debate … and let the vile woman ramble on, unchallenged for what seemed to be 10 minutes. This, immediately after she rudely interrupted every Rep. Candidates answers to her every question.
DW-S is NOT a “Fair and balanced” response to the Rep. debate, Sorry, her response was a predictable ad-hominem attack on the Rep. Party. Nothing “Fair” or intelligent about it.
“Nothing “Fair” or intelligent about it.” Kenji
The FOX management has formally changed…Murdock & SONS have taken over from Roger Ailes. FOX
has changed, don’t be surprised if some of their leading personalities LEAVE
Back door has it that Kelly is cuddly with one of the sons of Murdock
The corrupt little Australian (kicked out of the UK) hates Trump!
Kevin…
If you think Trump isn’t with all the Wall street stooges. You are fooling yourself.
Cruz should stop crying. His latest eminent domain Trump attack ad is pathetic. With what Hillary’s got in store for the GOP nominee, he might want to thicken his political skin if he wants to be seen as presidential. He can read the political tea leaves but his desperation is unbecoming.
With 6 candidates left he has roughly 20% of the delegates; Trump, adjusted for recent withdrawals, has about 40%. That leaves 40%. Trump needs one-quarter of that to put him over the top; Cruz must get 3/4 of the remaining delegates/votes to prevail.
Meanwhile Hillary has nearly 10X Sanders’ convention delegates after a NH drubbing and contrived tie in IA. Go figure. More evidence for the GOP to demonstrate her Dem status quo elitism to voters.
I hope Bloomberg jumps in. Oh Huma where are you? So it’s OK for one person to simultaneously work for the State Dept, Hillary & the Clinton Foundation? That’s some “special government employment.” I understand HRCs main underlings were told by investigators they should seek legal advice before speaking with them, even heard a juicy rumour their statements would be taken under oath (not sure how that would work). One of them has already taken the 5th.
Sanders’ odds of beating Hillary are about the same as her chances of being indicted; as if Obama won’t stop that from happening even if the FBI referred a criminal case. Too bad for her the whole sordid affair will get leaked anyway, so devastating material for the GOP to nail her with. Incompetent at best, criminal at worst.
Trump is the one to carry that torch; he won’t be easily outmaneuvered, as Romney was last time and Cruz could be this time. Trump with O’Reilly yesterday showed he understands how to get into the details of policy just fine. O’Reilly soft-tossed him, but then pressed on detail, particularly Trump’s plan to narrow the trade deficit with China, Donald answered quite succinctly – I’ll tariff their goods because that’s what they do with currency manipulation in addition to their own tariffs. Let them sell off their US bonds to cut their throats. The US is in charge. The voter has the basics – close enough for most.
Hillary should take note; assuming he’s a doofus and getting into policy is likely a trap she will not come out of well. I don’t see the media protecting her in the way she would like. I also wonder why the GOP establishment is so against him, I know why they left hates him; because they fear him with his obvious accomplishments and media savvy. Anyway the illogic continues and Trump seems to be able to cut through the fog with ideas that directly appeal to the great unwashed, who are sick of paying for the Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous Political Class.
It seems Hillary and her super PACs are in spin mode. The real story might be the fruition of influence peddling evidence (there’s tons of smoking guns btw), so the only way out for Hillary is to run with Bubba as VP, stained as she is, so she can pardon both of them upon inauguration.
On FOX – still the best gig out there. O’Reilly is good, like Hannity, rarely see Greta, and yes Megyn was way out of line on Trump, then again FOX did the loyalty thing and backed her up. Hard to see too much fault in that. They tend to over the same material, again and again though. Where else could the limited government voter turn to for information?
“Sanders’ odds of beating Hillary are about the same as her chances of being indicted”
The pain will become obvious when, not if, Philly burns.. If they use Super Delegates Bernie’s voters will be missing in the General. The DNC is in trouble .. Think I will send Bernie a donation just to keep the turds churning…
Unless they reform their voting systems down there, I can’t see a Republican ever being elected again. Every passing year, there are a million new brainwashed young voters to replace half a million dying or senile old voters. Then there are the invited and uninvited guests. In every case 80 to 90 per cent of these will vote Democrat even if let’s say it is Bernie Sanders and he unambiguously declares full support for a one-party communist state. If anyone challenges them, they will go to their safe space and call a lawyer.
This is the world we now live in, and so for Trump and Cruz to decide task one is to go after each other seems a bit daft to me. They should meet at a hotel (that should be easy to arrange) and pull a name from a hat, make that guy president and the other one vice-president, then figure out how to get fair elections set up in time for November.
Maybe they should go to our system (paper ballots counted by human beings with party reps looking over the shoulders to make sure nobody’s cheating). I don’t trust their electronic voting or the levers and such — I can see Russia from that house.
Love me some Ted Cruz.
I love watching fox news because I think that these guys are really good at giving us a comprehensive wide range of news. I’m glad to hear that there are other people who find fox news to be as informative as I do.
