Former Democrat President Jimmy Carter spoke out about the GOP Presidential race, picking Donald Trump over Ted Cruz, a remark which has now landed in a Cruz ad. Check out Carter’s remarks in the video clip below.
“If I had a choice between Cruz or Trump, I thnk I would choose Trump,” Carter said. “The reason is, Trump has proven already that he is competely malleable… I don’t think he has any fixed positions that he would come to the white house and fight for.”
“On the other hand,” notes the former president. “Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies that would be pursued aggressively if and when he became president.”
Carter’s remarks are a ringing endorsement for Ted Cruz for some on the right and the Cruz campaign were quick to capitalize.
A new ad released Thursday quotes Carter, who said Wednesday that if he had to pick between the two, he “would choose Trump” over Cruz.
