I wish Trump would invite Juanita Broadrick to sit on the front row. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/22/...y-clinton/index.html Mark Cuban to take his trolling of Trump to the front row of Monday's debate When Donald Trump takes the stage on Monday night's prime-time presidential debate, one of the few faces he will see will be that of a fellow billionaire that has tried to savage him in public. Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was invited by the Clinton campaign to sit in the front row at Monday night's debate. "Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the "Humbling at Hofstra" on Monday," Cuban tweeted. "It Is On!" A Clinton aide later confirmed that Cuban was, in fact, invited by the Clinton campaign. "He has the best seat we have access to," the aide said. Cuban has tried to publicly shame Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, regularly slamming the Republican nominee for not releasing his taxes. The attacks have been particularly effective, given Cuban's status as a fellow billionaire and his public persona as a similarly brash businessman. "He has proven to be singularly effective in making the case against Trump and for Clinton," the aide adds. "That is why we invited him." Cuban endorsed Clinton at a July event in his native Pittsburgh. Afterwards, he told CNN That Trump was "bats--- crazy." "Trump scares me," Cuban said after speaking at the event. "Donald, initially, I really hoped he would be something different, that as a businessperson, I thought there was an opportunity there. But then he went off the reservation and went bats--- crazy." Cuban also said that he had talked to Trump before he endorsed Clinton and urged the real estate mogul-turned-candidate that at some point he had to adapt and learn policy. "I told him directly, at some point you have to learn, at some point you have to read and that that job is all about uncertainty and if you don't do the work, that is not good for this country," Cuban said. "And he just doesn't do the work." Recently, Cuban offered Trump $10 million to the charity of his choice if her would sit down for an interview "for 4 hrs on YOUR policies and their substance." “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

F Ted Cruz, I have supported Trump from the beginning, but HAD a lot of respect for Ted. Now after all this, not so much. He proved it was all about him. I am ok if TX puts him back in the senate, he is fine there - he better bring his A game back and be staunchly against the Dems/Progressives/Commies/Marxists/Socialists/anarchists. But future national support from me... not likely. Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
It's easy for the super wealthy such as Cuban and the dickheads from Google and the like to be supporters of Democratic Party policy/candidates; they aren't affected by its negative consequences nearly as much and they can remain in that college-aged naive mentality whilst living behind their own walls in gated communities with their own security/guns. Placing Cuban in the front row for the debate is some desperate trolling; maybe the Trump team can seat him next to Chris Christie and they can cancel out each others loud mouths. I wonder if the hosts will make a serious attempt to keep the crowd from disrupting things. I mean, if hecklers are allowed - they ought to seat a few of us in that venue as well... | |||

It's what politicians do, leaving their slimey trails as they go. Trump is not a politician, which puts him head and shoulders above the likes of Ted Cruz. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

And yet in the title of this thread you declared him to be a first rate ass clown. Cruz made an off the cuff "pledge" during an ambush on TV by the jackoffs at Fox News in order to get ratings. It meant nothing. That was a mistake by many of the candidates. That was also before Trump publicly humiliated Cruz's father and wife during the campaign. Trump's accusations and belittling of Cruz's family was juvenile, petty, demeaning and crude. Made fun of the man's wife because of the way she looks, something that is forbidden on here because it shows shallowness and a lack of substance. He accused the Cruz's father of being involved with the Kennedy assassination, a complete and utter absurdity and outright lie. Worse of all, those attacks were completely unnecessary because Trump was going to win the nomination simply due to the fact that he wasn't a politician in the one time in history where the public (at least half of it) was so sick of politicians that his was possible, despite his being a first rate ass clown. So this place is supposed to be a place where honorable men and women with similar interests hang out and share ideas and information in a gentlemanly and honorable way. If I professed my pledge to support this forum and then the owner or members of the forum used it to publicly humiliate my wife and attack my father with preposterous libels I would not then continue my endorsement of this forum. The honor of my family would come before my "pledge" to this forum. I think if many of you took a step back to allow the emotion and importance of the election to settle you might actually agree that you would place your wife and fathers honor a bit ahead of a pledge to support a political candidate. Trump is a first rate ass clown, and maybe he's the first rate ass clown we need right now, because I agree that Hillary would be fatal to this country, but a lot of people on here seem to think that he is some kind of messiah, and I think they will be very disappointed in a Trump presidency. Better than Clinton, of course. Actually a good president, I doubt it. So if you want only group think on here and not honest discussion of every candidate's flaws I guess you can smack people down and silence their views. But you might want to consider that Cruz was the outsider that the establishment hated before there was a Trump candidacy. And had Trump not have surfaced and Cruz was the nominee I bet many of you would be singing his praises and the absolute need to rally around him as you are now doing for Trump.

So, to summarize Cruz lied to Fox news and it meant nothing. Trump on the other hand is responsible for everything that comes from his mouth. I've been hearing that sort of stuff from Glenn Beck for a while now. Beck just comes off as a sore loser, or he is still taking money from Cruz. And I keep hearing people call Cruz and outsider, but outside of political grandstanding, I can find nothing he has done outside of the establishment. And FYI, you lost any credibility when you pulled the "emotion" card from the Klinton deck. Lots of people like me are clear headed about this. Cruz has claimed to be a man of honor, then acted dishonorable. His fanboys don't seem to care about that neat little fact. Then they play little games accusing people of tripe like "smacking down their views" because people are tired of hearing Cruz fanatics whine. If Cruz had honor, he would have either had the self control not to make the pledge, or he would have honored it. But, he has shown nothing but dishonor of late. People seem to be buying into this whole Glenn Beck fanboy way of thinking. To be called honorable, you must act honorable. Cruz cares more about his political career than he does this country. You are free to your views. But, as many fail to understand in this country, there are consequences to your views. And if you are expecting to say whatever you wish and not be challenged on it, I suggest you go and join "black lives matter". There are REAL big on group think. They have a Phd at ignoring the truth and spinning a narrative. And I am guessing that is what you were attempting here. And while I am at it, why is it that comments like this follow a script? Look at Mark Cubans comments. 1- Release your taxes. 2- Not fit to lead. 3- He's crazy. 4- He scares me. It's a script that left have been brain washed into. Why is tat Cruz followers have to follow the same type of script? Cruz was yesterday. Trump is today. Never Hillary. | |||

It was my understanding that all the candidates SIGNED a pledge to support the nominee. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

This is some good news from a former NeverTrump rich family. http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...-boards-trump-train/ The Ricketts family, which spent $5.5 million earlier this year on a negative advertising campaign to stop Donald Trump from winning the Republican nomination, will now spend $1 million in an effort to boost Trump’s efforts in the general election. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, who is the son of family patriarch Joseph Ricketts, endorsed Trump in May. But news that the family as a whole is now putting its weight behind Trump is a sign of party unity, and the steady collapse of NeverTrump. ************************* We need to get Trump to 270 electoral votes. At this point I am glad to see any of the former competitors get on the train. I deeply resent all those who are dragging their feet or openly NeverTrump. The NeverTrumpers thought (and hoped) Trump would be destroyed by Clinton. But now it looks like a very tight election. | |||

Sorry to disappoint you. I would not trust cruz as dog catcher after his lying. You give your word/pledge then do not follow through you simply do not merit trust, or respect, in my view. Sound harsh? Maybe it is, but there should be a price to pay for what is done and said. For everyone, not just politicians.

All I am saying is that he made a pledge, and yes he should honor it. But that pledge does not Trump a man's pledge to honor his family above all else (except God perhaps, if so inclined). So yes he made a pledge. He then had his family attacked by the eventual winner. I don't blame him for not honoring that pledge, as his pledge to his family has to come first. If you aren't emotional about this election (I know I am) then you probably don't have a pulse. But you can vote for and support Trump without hating Cruz. I think most men would have defended their family's honor over a TV pledge to support a political candidate. I know I would. Although I doubt I would have ever made that pledge, but who knows. I meant no disrespect, just trying to explain why somebody would still be ok with Cruz after what Trump said about his wife and father. Its not like he sold out his entire country for money like Comey did. Who said I wouldn't be challenged? Of course I expect to be challenged. Isn't that the point of a discussion, to challenge each other's views and exchange ideas? I'm not saying my view is the only possible or correct view, I'm simply saying what I think in a respectful manner, even though it is obviously unpopular in this instance. | |||
