Cruz says Trump is for ‘amnesty’
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot people and I wouldn’t lose voters, okay”, Trump said at a campaign event in Sioux City, Iowa.
Trump’s comment came during a campaign rally Saturday at Dordt College in northwest Iowa. Florida Senator Marco Rubio follows with 14 percent. Cruz says Trump’s recent behavior proves he is obsessed with him.
Donald Trump suggested he could shoot someone in a crowded area and still keep voters, speaking at a rally in Iowa Saturday.
Cruz picked up the endorsement of conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, a counterweight of sorts to Trump’s endorsement by 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Although he says he has been asked “many times”, Beck has “never trusted anyone enough – until now”. “We’re going to make such great deals”.
Renowned for his “robust” style of campaigning, the GOP front runner risked courting yet more controversy with his latest quip, especially with gun violence becoming one of the major campaign issues in the Presidential election.
Ted Cruz fired back at the billionaire businessman releasing a 30-second TV attack ad defining the term “eminent domain” as, “a fancy term for politicians seizing private property to enrich the fat cats who bankroll them, like Trump”. They say I have the most loyal people.
Whereas Beck charged that “There is one thing to have a healthy ego, there is another to give a man who believes those kind of things, who has a habit of anyone who stands in his way of destruction”.
“He proved to us he’s a disrespectful man, sadly”, said Weinert.
But the publication’s silence on the right choice is also part of a bigger problem: the failure of any of the party’s “establishment lane” candidates to consolidate support ahead of the rapidly approaching primaries. The issue includes a devastating editorial that calls Trump a threat to conservatism, as well as essays by almost two dozen prominent conservatives who oppose Trump’s candidacy.
Yet, surprising as it may seem, Cruz is accusing Trump of supporting amnesty.
Just before Beck officially made his endorsement, he brought Cruz onstage and handed him his George Washington compass, a symbol of radio host’s pursuit of truth.
