One can't be doing everything wrong, if you're a target of the The Donald's wrath.

In Canada, our politics are really boring, but sometimes I appreciate it when I see that people like the Donald are actually being considered (even half-heartedly) to run the USA (and effectively much of the rest of the world)

He lost all credibility trying to discredit Obama last election, and he's back for more!?

Not only did he say it - he said it at an event put on by someone who owns car dealerships.

You. Can't. Make. This. Up.

Always the politician...DT is essentially working for Hillary much like Ross Perot did for her husband. Dilute enough of the Replublican vote to ensure a Democratic victory.

but look at who's in it on replublican side, between Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Lindsey Graham, Mike Hucklabee, Carly Fiorina, and Ted Cruz. Jeb Bush is boring and not sure why he wants to be President. Lindsey Graham is more boring and left leans to left, not a right wing fav. Hucklabee is a joke, the only reason he runs is to juice his resume so he land a cable TV deal. Ted Cruz is a clueless big mouth and Fiorina thinks she can run a country like a business, which brings us back to DT. he's bully, he calls people names and makes fun of them, that's what we want in President!

Political season in Britain lasts six weeks. It has warm beer.

Political season in the US lasts, well, forever. We have cold beer.

I'll take the warm

Would never work here - not enough time for all the fat-cats to make their donations to the candidates and tell them what they expect in return for the $$$$.

Sen. Cruz, clueless?

Calling Sen. Cruz "clueless" is funny stuff:

"...Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy[38] from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.[4][6] While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society's Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[39] In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year, as well as Team of the Year, with his debate partner, David Panton.[39] Cruz and Panton represented Harvard Law School at the 1995 World Debating Championship, making it to the semi-finals, where they lost to a team from Australia.[40][41][42] Princeton's debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.[42]...

After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctordegree.[6][44] While at Harvard Law, he was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[4] Referring to Cruz's time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."[45][46] At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.[10]


Cruz currently serves on the Board of Advisors of the Texas Review of Law and Politics.[10][47]

Cruz has authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court.[7][45][54] Cruz's record of having argued before the Supreme Court nine times is more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress.[55]...


In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.[54][57] Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[54][58]



In addition to his success in Heller, Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5? in Van Orden v. Perry.[10][45][54]

In 2004, Cruz was involved in the high-profile case, Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow,[10][45] in which he wrote a U.S. Supreme Court brief on behalf of all 50 states.[59] The Supreme Court upheld the position of Cruzç—´ brief.

Cruz served as lead counsel for the state and successfully defended the multiple litigation challenges to the 2003 Texas congressional redistricting plan in state and federal district courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court, which was decided 5? in his favor in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.[10][60]...

Cruz has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America,[53][63] by The National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America,[64][65] and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.[66][67]..."
