Two good clips for you. In the first, Cruz mercilessly rips the Sniveling Coward as a whiny, crying, screaming sore loser.
In the second, Heidi Cruz speaks out about Ted, the attacks from the Sniveling Coward, and much more. It’s my first real chance to hear from her, and I like her.

Patterico (86c8ed) — 4/13/2016 @ 7:50 amHeidi Cruz did a great job on Kelly File last night (4/12). What a positive change she would be from the current First Lady.
jb (8a9f1d) — 4/13/2016 @ 7:53 am3. The better HC reminds me too much of the crying understudy from the Seinfeld episode where George runs over Bette Midler at the plate during a softball game.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 4/13/2016 @ 7:55 amMr. Trump’s clearly gotten under their skin and teddy-pie and heidi-cakes decided to do the best defense is a good offense thing
but they’re taking their eye off the ball i think
this just underscores how they have trouble getting along with people who challenge their harvardtrash goldy sacky prerogatives
happyfeet (831175) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:03 am‘feets you are a pathetic lying hack.
Steven Malynn (4bc33a) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:16 amthat’s ironic what you said Mr. Malynn cause of how untrue it is but you know what
that’s ok cause of this is a very boisterous and spirited campaign
happyfeet (831175) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:30 amSteven, you are too kind to stinkyfeet.
Rorschach (6fc5f7) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:31 amHappyfeet is trolling, Steven. By projecting Trump’s most obvious faults onto Heidi, he realizes readers can’t resist replying to him.
We’ve seen how Trump flips out and attacks Heidi Cruz with pure emotion and no serious thought about the issues that face us. Heidi when asked just basically brushes it off as beneath her, which is great.
I can’t imagine how Trump would handle diplomacy. His attacks on Ted Cruz’s wife were childish, but they also weren’t provoked. Trump says he was mad, so the nasty attacks were justified, but he points to that PAC that had nothing to do with Cruz (except it also criticized Cruz).
What happens if a President Trump (LOL) were criticized in a foreign nation by citizens? Does he get mad and denigrate the country? He probably would. Millions of military members would be counting on our president to be cool and collected, much like Heidi Cruz and Ted Cruz are.
This is why Trump is losing the primary. Serious people just won’t support him.
Dustin (2a8be7) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:35 amWould that be the delegate process ball? Oh wait, that’s Trump who has done that.
Patrick Henry, the 2nd (ddead1) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:52 amI don’t watch TV so I was wondering: Is Heidi interviewed often? She came across well but Patterico’s post suggests this is a rare thing. They should put her on TV more often, as it makes Ted look good and at the same time, people can’t help but realize how pathetic Trump was to attack his opponent’s wife.
If Trump has any self awareness he flinches when he sees Heidi or hears her name, knowing it showed what a man he isn’t.
Dustin (2a8be7) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:00 amThis sentence is true.
CayleyGraph (353727) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:09 amMay the best man win.
Colonel Haiku (89ebb5) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:16 amRefreshing. Thanks for the vids.
njrob (5729b0) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:34 amHeidi Cruz has definitely gotten under the skin of The Mr Donald.
He knows she has unimpeachable academic and professional credentials, whereas his own wife merely has a certification from the Westchester County Cosmetic Academy.
Anyone else notice how The Mr Donald attacks Heidi more often than he attacks Hillary?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:38 amStand by your man.
Tammy Wynette (31009b) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:39 amWell, not even Tromp would attack a senile old lady.
CayleyGraph (353727) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:53 amInteresting observation.
I do wonder how Trump plans to pivot on Hillary. He’s supported the clintons by word and deed more than almost any democrat has. His explanation is that as a businessman, the only way he could compete was to buy politicians, but this makes him look weak (because it is weak).
Meanwhile we’re being told to support Trump if he’s the nominee because Hillary is such a terrible outcome, but Trump supported Hillary, so that doesn’t make any sense.
Trump is the extreme come to life. He’s the test of principles for a conservative voter: is party above principles to the extent that you’d vote for anything with an R by his name? I personally would not.
Dustin (2a8be7) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:58 amTroll and Trump are synonymous. My sad beknighted brother has two topics, his atheism and what a criminal Ted Cruz is. Ted Cruz is an adulterer, a liar, a criminal, and Satan. Also if you’re going to worship a myth, why not Thor? He has an awesome hammer and can call lighting bolts? or something…
Remember this: Trumpertarians are not serious. They haven’t looked at the history. They haven’t looked at the facts they haven’t done anything at all except allow themselves to be tricked by a fat ginger Troll.
Jack (ff1ca8) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:10 amCruz does have Shorty’s number. It is stunning how easily Shorty is reduced to a series of stereotypes – “New York Values,” no kidding. And I like Cruz’ commentary as a strategy, too. It is important that Shorty’s supporters understand not only who they support (and own), but who they, themselves, are by supporting him – they’re not called “White Trash” for nothing.
And what a well-deserved evisceration of Chrisite! Cruz’ words are important because they properly frame the refusal of Republican pols to get behind Cruz – all Republican leaders who fail to support Cruz are also, in effect, holding Shorty’s coat and calling him “Mr. Trump.” What a morally unserious bunch they are.
ThOR (a52560) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:19 amGood point!
Why not worship ThOR?
ThOR (a52560) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:25 am“Anyone else notice how The Mr Donald attacks Heidi more often than he attacks Hillary”
Yes, Cruz Supporter, I notice it as I continue my search for a site that goes after the presumptive Democrat nominee with the same ferocity it goes after Mr. Trump.
Colonel Haiku (384e8e) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:25 amI bet the Trump worshipers won’t even listen to Ted Cruz here. Patterico should require proof from the Trump worshipers that they actually listened to Ted before he allows them to comment in this thread.
Because they won’t do the former; and then they can’t do the latter.
John Hitchcock (f2b25c) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:39 amWe’ll pivot when it’s time for the general election, Colonel. No point burning the candle at both ends before that race even starts.
DRJ (15874d) — 4/13/2016 @ 10:59 amhappyfeet is carrying the ball for us, attacking Hillary. For now. I don’t know what he’ll do though should Hillary announce that she’s for
nk (dbc370) — 4/13/2016 @ 11:11 am1. Mandatory same-sex marriage; and
2. Mandatory abortions except for pregnancies of lesbians gotten through artificial insemination.
i hate hillary so much she antagonizes me on purpose with her pee-smells and wretched policies
happyfeet (831175) — 4/13/2016 @ 11:13 amOf course DRJ is right. This is the primary and republicans are competing. Trump has pulled no punches, comparing his competitors to child molesters and smearing their families, promoted tabloid lies and violence, and even gone after a free press. It’s time to fight back before the primary is over. Hillary is less relevant. The general election fight will come later, and echo chamber pep rallies about Hillary won’t make any difference right now.
Going after Hillary’s only path to the white house (Trump) is effectively going after her as well.
It’s not like Ted Cruz had meetings with the Clintons before deciding to run, or invited them to his intimate family affairs or lavished upon them with more money than many of us will earn in our lifetimes. Party loyalty has its limits. I wouldn’t vote for Hillary or Pelosi if they had an R by their name either.
Also, the Republican party is badly in need of fixing. You can’t fix something you don’t critically analyze. Party loyalty must give way to honesty about what many Republicans are doing wrong. Trump is the caricature of a fatcat crony capitalist who defers to Hollywood and New York values if it helps him get power. The boogeyman of the democrats must not scare us into hearing no evil from the republicans.
Dustin (2a8be7) — 4/13/2016 @ 11:18 amWell, just as long as we have something left to pivot from, DRJ.
Just as a reminder… here is who we’ll be dealing with. This. Must. Not. Happen.
http://americandigest.org/sidelines/2016/04/#a033132
Colonel Haiku (384e8e) — 4/13/2016 @ 12:06 pmI have faith that clear thinking independents, center-right and conservative people will make the right choice. I don’t want another Democ🐀 In the White House!
Colonel Haiku (384e8e) — 4/13/2016 @ 12:10 pmAs I was watching that interview with Heidi Cruz last night, by coincidence, I was eating a can of Campbell’s Chunky Soup for my supper.
Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 1:09 pmThe months of September thru February find cans of soup in my truck. It’s too warm now for that, but like Ted, I am more than willing to have canned soup for my meal. (I don’t have names for my meals as they occur at random times in the day. For instance, I haven’t had a meal yet today.)
John Hitchcock (f2b25c) — 4/13/2016 @ 1:18 pmMy $.02… I’m not a burn it down to save it voter and I don’t put much trust or faith in folks who want to spend excess time on party forensics. There is not enough punching back three times as hard, exposing media bias, exposing candidate malfeasance and – in some cases – criminality. This isn’t a time for a “can’t walk, we gotta chew gum” scotoma. Do what’s needed and do it in an overwhelming way.
Colonel Haiku (384e8e) — 4/13/2016 @ 1:19 pmI thought she came across pretty well. And here is the funny part. I will bet you coinage that she would be kind to the people who have been so unpleasant about her here.
What a strange world we live in. Trolls need to live under bridges, not run for president.
Simon Jester (c8876d) — 4/13/2016 @ 1:36 pmLosing the primary?
carlitos (c24ed5) — 4/13/2016 @ 2:15 pmEd O’Neil, in today’s WaPo:
It’s analyses like these — and this is merely typical of what I’m reading in many, many other places — which lead me to predict that the convention might turn out to be uncontested because Trump will boycott it, rather than walk into an inconclusive first ballot followed by a second-ballot blowout loss. I think the outcome will be that predictable by, or very shortly after, June 7th.
Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 2:20 pmCorrection, Ed O’Keefe.
Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 2:20 pmVery good interview with Mrs. Cruz. I was surprised to see a lady who is so gracious, well spoken and quietly confident (as opposed to the bitter sexism, racism harpies in the other party).
I don’t think her Goldman Sachs position is entirely a sinecure; I can see her running things very well over there.
Patricia (5fc097) — 4/13/2016 @ 2:21 pmAs I was listening to this, just this moment I got a call from a Trump supporter, asking whether he could rely on my vote for Mr Trump, to show Cruz what real New York values were, or some such thing. I stopped paying attention once I realized what he was on about. I told him that no, he could rely on my vote for Cruz, because I agree with him about NY values.
Oh, and last night I got a robocall from Trump’s recorded voice. Haven’t heard yet from the Cruz campaign, but I don’t need to.
Milhouse (87c499) — 4/13/2016 @ 2:28 pmNate Silver’s latest state-by-state analysis runs three different models to analyze Trump’s chances of getting a first-ballot majority:
Silver’s stuff is appropriately billed as “data-driven,” but the quality and quantity of the data he’s analyzing varies wildly from one state to another. Some of his individual state analyses seem quite probable and rational to me, while others are obviously (sometimes explicitly) major guesswork. But he’s certainly bearish on Trump now, as compared to a couple of months ago.

Milhouse (87c499) — 4/13/2016 @ 3:14 pm“Donald doesn’t handle loosing well, and he throws a fit. …wakes up in a sweat thinking somebody will call him a loser.”
And while Ted Cruz is talking in Glen Beck’s kitchen, saying nothing of substance, (This will be Trump’s third try at the White House- you remember him being a big cry baby running against Dubya?) Donald Trump was in a meeting with Megyn Kelly at her request.
http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/13/media/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-meet/index.html
http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/woman-jailed-uae/2016/04/12/id/723417/
An American woman has been jailed since February in the United Arab Emirates for allegedly using an “insulting” expression and will not learn her fate until May 2.
The 25-year-old woman, which the [state run UAE] newspaper did not identify, was charged on Monday with a misdemeanor for “insulting the country and its leaders through verbal assault.” The incident reportedly happened at the Abu Dhabi International Airport.
{Probably expressed something about hell holes and leaving} – pt.
If you were a 25-year-old American woman sitting in an Abu Dhabi jail, waiting to appear before a kangaroo court, who would you rather have as the President, pugnacious Donald Trump, who carries a grudge when wronged, or Ted Cruz who will send lawyers skilled at hopping, spinning, who look forward to the navigation and intricacies of a muslim kangaroo court?

As usual Patterico bigots mistakes, the arrow of time, attacker for attacked, and a measured thoughtful response against a win by any means political hypocrit as somehow in breach of their one sided etiquette.
Why did a Ted Cruz super PAC give $500,000 to Carly Fiorina’s?

papertiger (c2d6da) — 4/13/2016 @ 3:49 pmhttp://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3414256/posts?page=56
Is that a serious question? Why on earth would Trump give a sh*t about her? And what could he do about it? Go to war for her?! The War of Jenkins’ Ear was 300 years ago, and even then nations didn’t really go to war over the mistreatment of their citizens; the ear was merely the pretext for a war that was going to happen anyway. Seriously I’d want a president who knows and respects the rule of law, including the respect due to another country’s laws, and who wouldn’t exacerbate my situation by getting into a slanging match that could only put me in greater danger.
Milhouse (87c499) — 4/13/2016 @ 4:00 pmI would have enjoyed listening in on that call and your response, Mihouse 37.
DRJ (15874d) — 4/13/2016 @ 4:05 pmHow about because PACs are not candidates, and the people running the donor PAC thought the donee PAC was a good cause. It was their money and up to them where to send it. Maybe they thought having Fiorina in the race was a good thing for the party. Maybe they even liked Fiorina and thought of supporting her as well as Cruz. The point is that it’s got nothing to do with Cruz. He doesn’t tell his supporters what to do, unlike Trump, whose PAC suddenly shut down when the FEC got wind that it was operating out of his building, with his direct involvement.
If you’d read your own damn link you’d know the answer to this one. The address is that of an agent who handles donations for many organisations, from all over the political map.

Does anyone doubt — can anyone possibly doubt — that Ivanka would be a Hillary supporter if her father were not running for the GOP nomination?
Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 4:18 pmTrump’s charm, by contrast to the rest of his family’s is exactly the same as Eddie Haskell’s charm: It’s feigned smarm-charm. I react very negatively to it.

Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 5:11 pm@ narciso (#68): Precisely! This photo is just vivid documentation of the fact that Trump has always been a buyer of influence, the Clintons have always been sellers, and they’re all together in the corruptest, vilest layers of the Capitol-E Establishment, the version that includes establishment wings of both the Dems and the GOP.

happyfeet (831175) — 4/13/2016 @ 5:17 pmpapertiger,
Your obsession with a Cruz Super Pac giving money to a Fiornia Super Pac suggests you don’t know much about how they work, nor even the difference between Pacs and Super Pacs.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 4/13/2016 @ 5:24 pmAin’t it the truth, though, narciso. Whether you’re the defendant or whether you’re the victim, money talks in our criminal justice system. That State Attorney was no match for Lewandowski’s $1,000/hr attorneys paid for by Trump, and Michelle Fields will not even get her day in court. Even if she does bring a civil action, venue will still be in that county and you have posted before how corrupt the place is. She won’t have much of an expectation for a better result.
nk (dbc370) — 4/13/2016 @ 5:28 pmCruz Supporter, it was explained to them exactly how that Super PAC works and exactly what happened, but papertiger is well known for his flat-out lies after AFTER it was already proven that they were lies. It’s what papertiger is about: lying, false accusations, vile behavior, all in the name of his deity Donald Trump.

Beldar (fa637a) — 4/13/2016 @ 5:44 pmI was yanking your chain, narciso. I know how these things work. Nobody could stop Michelle Fields from signing a complaint unless there was probable cause to believe she was bringing a frivolous charge (in which case she herself could be arrested). Once it got into the hands of the State Attorney, he made his determination on whether the evidence as a whole proved Lewandowski guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Patricia (5fc097) — 4/13/2016 @ 7:55 pmTrump and Clinton are the undifferentiated scum to be found floating at the top of the DC septic tank which desperately needs to be pumped dry.
I find it interesting that a portion of Republicans who feel that way nonetheless are meandering over to the option (eg, a highlighted red link currently posted to the drudgereport.com) of saying that if the ballot in November does end up with Trump’s and Clinton’s name on it, they’ll be voting for Hillary.
Not sure how many of those Republicans are squishier than Jell-O or are generally quite conservative. If they’re the former, I’m not surprised they can stomach horrible Hillary since the electorate in general — from the left to the center and seeping further and further into the right — has gotten increasingly dumbed down and corrupted over the past 50-plus years.
If it’s the latter, then no way would I deem such people as truly of the right. Any conservative worth a damn can slam (and understandably, appropriately so) Donald Trump and, in turn, excoriate Hillary. But such conservatives certainly should never — ever — tolerate the idea of a President Hillary except in their worst nightmare.
Mark (16bc93) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:24 pmMark, if Trump gets the nomination, Hillary gets the Oval Office. There are too many of us who will never, ever vote for Trump. And if someone votes for Trump in the primary, that person IS NOT a principled Conservative, has zero Conservative principles.
John Hitchcock (f2b25c) — 4/13/2016 @ 8:54 pmOf course Trump is still ahead, but consider; since Rubio suspended his campaign on March 15 Trump has only won one state. Arizona on March 22.
Meanwhile Cruz has won Utah on March 22, North Dakota on April 1, and Wisconsin on April 5. We should include Colorado where Cruz swept all the delegates at the state convention on April 9.
In terms of delegates, since Rubio dropped out Trump has picked up 65 while Cruz has picked up 121.
I’d say Rubio getting out of the race was something of a game changer. Dustin is right; serious people won’t support Trump. Now they aren’t splitting their vote between Rubio and Cruz.
Steve57 (225587) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:26 pmThere are too many of us who will never, ever vote for Trump.
John, that is a given. But my observation was aimed at the people who not only say they’ll never vote for Trump but also say they’ll instead vote for Hillary.
The type of Republican or independent who feels that way, as far as I’m concerned, cannot possibly be of the right. At least not the way I define truly conservative instincts. Such people have to actually be part of that large mass of Americans who’ve given horrible Hillary generally positive Gallup ratings for over 20 years, and, just as foolishly, have given the person she hopes to succeed equally positive (or at least not terribly negative) poll rankings. Even more revealing, they’ve given such crooked, debased leftists better opinion-poll ratings than the ones given to George W Bush, particularly during his last year in office.
This is why I think the US has entered its twilight years.
Mark (16bc93) — 4/13/2016 @ 9:52 pmAre you serious?! How could any of that have given her the sort of connections that would make anyone suspect that she might be a good candidate for a sinecure? On the contrary, having worked at serious jobs in the past is a good indication that this job was just as serious. And nothing Ted did gave him remotely the sort of clout that could induce someone to offer his wife a sinecure. Who gets sinecures? The useless spouses of people with real power over tye employer. A state governor, or a legislative majority leader, or a member of an appropriations committee, or a cabinet secretary. Not a solicitor general, state or federal.
