Laughter. The British elites love to mock conservatives. Little did Carter realize, they were also mocking him. They were not laughing with Carter in any way at all.

"The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s

Ouch! He is just another liberal, like Jimmy Carter, who never fought for anything, but saw his life and power handed to him on a silver platter.
"On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable," he
added. "He has far-right wing policies he'd pursue if he became
president."

Let's be honest. The reason why Carter does not like Cruz is that he has courage, while Carter has demonstrated cowardly, even dishonest traits time and again.
Regarding the Democratic contest, Carter referenced Bernie
Sanders' strong showing Monday in the Iowa caucuses.

Carter also recognized that the real winner in Iowa was Bernie Sanders, not Hillary Clinton. She is an Establishment hack who turns off a large number of voters. She is inauthentic and untrustworthy.
"Bernie Sanders has had a remarkable showing,
particularly among young people," he said. "In Iowa, he had 85
percent of young people’s support.

And as a Democrat, he would support Donald Trump, who faces a staggering loss to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the general election.
Carter was in London to speak about the Carter Center's

He should have worked on removing the contagion of liberalism and democratic socialism from the public government conscience.
Jimmy Carter is another ringing endorsement for Ted Cruz.
In fact, the Texas US Senator used these comments in one of his campaign ads!
