Jeez, I guess we're all targets of scorn,especially helmet wearing Serotta riders.

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

Ugh. What a chump.

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!?

[blessthismess]

If trump ever had credibility he lost it long before the last election.

[velomonkey]

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.

[fogrider]

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 :beer:

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 $$$$.

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]..."

There was no sensitive information on those servers.

I'm loving every minute of this Trump campaign.

Oh, you are a Cruz fan? Shocker...

[oldpotatoe]

Well, he's a good lawyer, I guess, and he also an christian ayatollah, like santorum and huckabee..glad you like him 93Legendti, hope you like the donald too. I'm gonna vote in the GOP primary, for donald, just to make sure he runs...:D

This is gonna get locked quick..

[93legendti]

I pointed out that he is accomplished and brilliant.

He isn't under FBI investigation; isn't an old white person, has worked for a living; didn't pass classified information from an illegal bathroom server; isnt a human gaffe machine who committed plagiarism 2x, isn't a crazy old socialist; didn't use a govt position to take bribes for his family's slush fund/"foundation"...

I can see why a leftie would call him clueless.

Hey, before this thread gets locked, I want to make sure that you don't forget our illustrious governor, Scooter Walker.

Although the fact that you didn't mention his name says a lot about his chances.

[1centaur]

Sometimes I wonder if the no politics policy on this forum means no right of center politics. Could right of center posters take multiple shots at all the lefty losers/crooks/narcissists/liars/hypocrites without a thread lock?

DELETE!

Thx,

[flydhest]

Let's be cautious with politics. It is a cheap and ridiculous shot to criticize Cruz on anything but specific positions. Do that, fine, but general dismissal of someone who has clearly accomplished a lot would strain credulity. Personally, I would take apart almost all of what he stands for, but just plain dismiss him ? Not so much.

[LouDeeter]

Please Mods, lock this. We are 14 months away from the election. I've already started blocking political posters on my Facebook account. I just don't need the bickering and trash talking anymore than I already see. At least let this site be a refuge from such BS.

[CampyorBust]

Just when I was thinking Paceline is a great forum free from the scourge of politics. Honestly I was laughing pretty hard, it was only a matter of time before Trump went there.

Agreed. I'm going to delete my previous post. No need to ruffle feathers...

Ride On!

[2LeftCleats]

I would argue that everyone, excluding Bernie, is right of center--at least where center used to be.

But got to say that this campaign, while no doubt looking ridiculous to the rest of the world, is more fun to watch with Trump hanging in longer than I ever imagined. Like the accident you can't help but gawk at, I wait for his hair to burst into flames.

He'd be a great leader... during the time of the Crusades.

Ha! Every time I get a call from the pollsters asking who I'd vote for, I tell 'em "Donald!". I want him in the race as long as possible. My cat would be a better President. And I don't have a cat.

I wish FB had a way to block subject matter. I'd block all political, religious, and golf posts.

Funny. I'm guessing you have a name like Jones or Smith, otherwise you wouldn't get the call if your last name was say 'Ramirez'....

[JAllen]

I'm now curious what Trump's stances are on Campy vs. Shimano, or Rapha in general...

:D
