Graham: Choosing Trump or Cruz ‘Like Being Shot or Poisoned’

Charles Krauthammer told viewers Friday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy has “become normalized” among those in the mainstream Republican party.

“Ted Cruz complains about my views on eminent domain, but without it we wouldn’t have roads, highways, airports, schools or even pipelines”, Trump wrote Friday on Twitter. “Cruz, he’s exhibited behavior in his time in the Senate that make it impossible for me to believe that he could bring this country together”, Graham said.

“You know what? There’s a point at which: Let’s get to be a little establishment”, he told about 1,500 people at a rally at the Las Vegas South Point Resort and Casino.

“Cruz did not renounce his Canadian citizenship as a US Senator- only when he started to run for #POTUS”. Her endorsement could help boost the real estate mogul’s crowd support just as it had helped Cruz win in the Senatorial elections in 2012. You just don’t do that.

Still, John Catsimatidis, a major Republican and Democratic donor, said it’s time for the GOP to accept that when it comes to Trump’s strength, “the facts are the facts”.

Cruz has been climbing in recent polls.

The “Against Trump” editorial by National Review, a New York-based magazine founded in 1955 by famed conservative thinker William F. Buckley Jr., was scathing. “We can cut a deal, we can work with him'”.

The ad shows a Fox News interview with Cruz from December where he was pressed on whether he had ever supported a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants.

Reporters, however more interested in Cruz’s response to former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole who said this week a Cruz nomination would be “cataclysmic” for the GOP. Cruz as a strident and unlikeable figure lacking the skills to negotiate and lead on behalf of the United States, soon after a new CNN/ORC poll showed the real-estate magnate with a commanding lead in Iowa.

Donna Hayes, a former Manatee County commissioner and the Manatee chair for the Trump campaign, said she was asked to join the Trump campaign in October. He often talks about how he’s been in politics all his life and has been seen as the “fair-haired boy” showering contributions on both Republicans and Democrats. Cruz’s statement is the latest jab between the two Republican presidential candidates who are neck-and-neck in Iowa polling.
