Jim Geraghty of National Review Online writes an always informative and entertaining news and commentary blog called Morning Jolt. It is well worth signing up for. Today among the various items in his newsletter he posted this little item about Trump going after Cruz during an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News . We consider it quite delicious given our proclivities for ethanol and Mitch McConnell (excerpts):
TRUMP: Look, I don’t think he’s qualified to be president.
WALLACE: Why not?
TRUMP: Because I don’t think he has the right temperament. I don’t think he’s got the right judgment.
WALLACE: What’s wrong with his temperament?
TRUMP: When you look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a — you know, frankly, like a bit of a maniac. You never get things done that way . . . You can’t walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars and not be able to cajole and get along with people. “Dear Donald, thank you for finally saying what I’ve been trying to tell people . . .” Kudos to Ted Cruz for the ’80s-flashback response.
“Dear Donald, thank you for finally saying what I’ve been trying to tell people …”
Kudos to Ted Cruz for the ’80s-flashback response.
Our stalwart principled conservative leader, Mr. Trump, also said this weekend:
“Well look he’s from Texas — to the best of my knowledge, there’s a lot of oil in Texas, right? So, he gets a lot of money from the oil companies, and he’s against ethanol and everything you’re else talking about. And I’m not, I’m totally in favor. And you know it’s a big industry here, it’s a big industry. You know if that industry is upset Iowa’s got problems,” Trump said to the crowd of about 1,500, composed of Iowans from special-interest groups.
Only a TRUE conservative stands for ethanol and Senate collegiality, right, Trump fans?
Gee, Donald, this is Iowa . . . what is all that on your shoes? And the smell! What did you step in, Donald?
