He’s got my vote.

I know he won’t betray conservatism nor will I.

Perhaps he is. He can certainly win the nomination, but he is utterly unelectable. Doesn’t mean don’t nominate him, just means expect Hildabeast in the WH.

4. Cruz Is A Principled Fighter.

But, for all those rock solid principles, he just cannot come out and tell what his plans are for the illegals already here, other than a conversation about the situation. In the past, he has called for legalization. Has not changed that.

Something is missing from that list: Can Cruz beat Hillary?

That's not a loaded question, I'm just askin’.

Haven’t you heard? Every Republican is utterly unelectable.

Doesn’t mean I want another Dole or McCain as the nominee. Or Romney or Bish for that matter.

With great respect, appreciation and admiration for Donald Trump.

Ted would have it no other way as one of the primary functions of a leader is to “set the example”... CRUZ 2016!

He’s only down a point in the polls against Hillary.

I like Trump and will vote for him in the generals if he wins.

However, I just looked at the video for the first time and even though the reporter is a liberal piece of garbage, he MADE FUN of his neurological disease.

That usually doesn’t get votes.

And if he doesn’t get the republican nod, he will run as third party, and THAT will put hillary in the WH

There is no fertile ground in which to plant Cruz until Trump has plowed and fertilized the field. This is why I hope that we get a Trump/Cruz ticket and Trump steps away after one term.

Only Trump can snap America out of the trance that it is in. We need someone who can fight college-girl Alinsky tactics with tactical-nuke Alinsky tactics. People of both sides will hear his message. Cruz only preaches to the choir. He will make you feel good about taking the moral high road as this nation crashes and burns.

America, the time for debate team is over. It is time for Josey Wales:

“Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. ‘Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.”

Yes, Cruz can beat Hillary. He is the candidate most able to eviscerate her in a debate. He knows how to hit hard on policy. And, yes, the polls show that he can beat Hillary, too.

Does Rubio have the same neurological disease, because he did the same thing over Rubio’s sweating.

I am a Cruz supporter. However I have no illusions about the American electorate, which for decades has been prejudiced by anti-Christians in media, education and government. “Obama” - need I say more. Conservative Christians should naturally flock to Ted but I don’t know that he will have much appeal beyond us.

When did we last have a debate between two Presidential candidates? All we ever get are media-moderated gotcha-fests.

CRUZ has grassroots leadership on the county level in every state. He is prepared to go the distance.

Then we’ll lose but I won’t sell my soul for political expediency.

He tells what will happen to those illegals on public assistance and those who have committed other crimes, DEPORTATION. He spells it out in his immigration plan. Once jobs dry up and incentives are removed, many will self deport.

He said then the American people can decide what they want done with the rest. These are the ones Trump wants to deport then expedite back into the country.

“... he is utterly unelectable ...”

So tired of hearing that DU/KOS crap. Cruz is totally electable. Emphatically electable.

I just don’t understand why people say he can’t win in the general election. Recent polls showed all gop listed including Cruz winning the general. Of course the DC cartel and MSM promote it but I just don’t buy it.

If Cruz is the nominee, expect to be pleasantly surprised. Cruz can beat Hillary and do so handily.

I worry that Trump’s not being very substantive on some issues would be glaringly obvious in the general. Hillary is a professional liar who is wrong on the issues, but she has had years to polish her campaign rhetoric. Trump has ridden his popularity in the debates so far, but there is still a large part of the electorate that is undecided. I’m not sure he can persuade them, or he would have done so already.
