Mano a Mano between Herr Trump and Cruz. Two lunatics = must see TV. (Will never happen. Herr Trump isn't interested in debating. He's interested in yelling, whining and interrupting.)
Well. we can give him credit for sticking to his strengths.

Never has a presidential candidate spoken so much, yet said so little.
Very true.

I wanna see Rubio and Cruz debating in Broken Cuban "diselo Marco , diselo" "tell him Marco, tell him" LMAO

He's not whining....he's defending himself. Rather than being a baby, it's a sign of strength.

which apparently translates into:

CRUZ: Marco, if you want say it ri-ri-right now, say it now if you want. In Spanish, if you want.

He said it wrong which demonstrates poor command of the language. It technically would pass as a coherent phrase, but not a very good one. This is almost like talking as if Google Translate said it.

I say this as somebody that grew up in a heavy Hispanic area of Arizona and who speaks Spanish fairly frequently.
If you translated the awkwardness it would be akin to saying (but not quite literally)

Marco, if you want you say it right n-n-n-now you say it now if you want. In Spanish, if you want.

He also conjugated Querer (To want) in two different manners, one respectfully, and one less respectfully.

He probably wanted to say Tell them, on the second Diselo, but used the wrong word, and even if he had his verb construction would have said Tell it.

But anyway

He is the biggest crybaby I have ever seen run for political office. He's a bully that cries "not fair" whenever anyone gives him a taste of his own medicine. Sheesh, it's embarrassing.

You cannot simply scream “liar” when someone points out your actual positions:

Daniel Webster (1782-1852)...................185 cases
Lawrence Wallace (unknown)..................157 cases
John Williams Davis (1873-1955)............140 cases
Erwin Nathaniel Griswold (1904-1994).....111 (estimate)

You have to remember that a lot of these people voted for that clown in the WH...the others enjoy establishment types who do absolutely nothing different than the last clown in the WH. Apparently they enjoy the ongoing circus, but the rest of us are sick of it. So, keep that in mind when reading their screeds.

I am not the least bit impressed with how many cases he has argued. As far as I am concerned he is a quitter and, yes, a liar. He lied to the people of Texas by promising he'd represent them for 6 years. You mean to tell me he did not know he was going to run for president just as he was running for the senate. He used Texas and its people.
