Cruz: "Make the sand glow in the Middle East" and "move US embassy to Jerusalem."

[jvquarterback]

Unfortunately I don't think there is anything Trump could say that is worse than threatening nuclear war in the middle east, though he may give it a shot. Cruz's foreign policy might even be worse than anything Clinton or Sanders have said given his wish to "make the sand glow" in Syria and Iraq.

It's a stupid remark. But you don't need nukes to make the sand glow.

He's been saying the same line since December, all in reference to "carpet-bombing" ISIS. Never once has he used it to reference nukes. There's plenty of legitimate criticism of his unrefined plan, but nuclear fear-mongering is not among them.

Here is an example of non-nuclear sand glowing:

And if any candidate has threatened to actually use nukes, it's been Trump.

So he's a moron and a liar. Status quo for the morons and liars in the Republican and Democratic party. Bombing something until it glows has been standard parlance for nuclear weapons since the 1940s. But I'll give you that Cruz is too stupid to understand that. This is the same guy who wants to piss off the entire Muslim world by moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

First Cruz said no ground troops to Syria, now he says we have to listen to the "experts" at the Pentagon who recommend sending ground troops to Syria. The day Trump said he would advise himself rather than listen to the morons among the military elite was the day I actually started to think there was a tiny chance he might improve foreign policy. I don't think he would but at least there is a chance.

I'll take a man, no matter how clumsy verbally, who has a bit of restraint when it comes to the death of 4 million people in the Middle East over a man willing to change in the wind and threaten the lives of millions more civilians there simply to placate the war mongers among the Republican Party.

Everyone's a moron except you and those who think exactly the same as you. We got it. We've all got it.

No, Cruz is a politician. I give most politicians some "latitude" to bluster and posture. I draw the line when they lie to start taking away freedoms (as Obama has done), or lie about the security of this nation (as Obama has done repeatedly about our border, etc.

So, basically, I would not include Ted Cruz in either the moron category (he's very bright), or the liar category (yet - still pretty forthright). He's just a politician running for office.

a man willing to change in the wind

The very definition of Donald Trump.

All in good fun. (Unless we're talking about Obama - no fun there.)

When has Trump ever demonstrated even the smallest modicum of restraint at any point in his life?
