Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina are a gift from God to America


Townhall has become such a joke.

> “The GOP ought to pay damn good attention to that figure because if two thirds of registered Republicans stay home after the nomination is stolen not only will Hillary be President the party will be destroyed both in terms of vote-getting and fundraising. The GOP will quite-literally go from being a contender to a tiny minority party with no more chance of winning a Presidential contest in the future than the Libertarian party has since only electoral votes count in a Presidential contest and you will win exactly zero electoral votes with 25% of the electorate supporting you.”

The GOPe is fine with that result because they are hedged to the other side. The goal is to make America fold in with other nations as part of ‘managed trade’ as in a central committee making decisions on which, what, who are to be ‘developed’ and invested in. The GOPe comprising Romney and the Bush Clan all want a merging of nations into single blocs.

Karl is a smart guy but he’s not articulating what their goal is here. Stopping Hillary is not even on their list. Stopping Trump is what they’re about.

Step 1: Let’s all post lots of negative personal comments about Ted Cruz.

Step 2: Let’s all assure ourselves that Trump has it covered because “Paul Manafort”.

Step 3: Let’s continue not learning from these events.

Even though this is a learning opportunity that could help Trump to prepare for the general election against Hillary, let’s just say “Lyin’ Ted”, “Cruz stole more delegates”, and “Cruz cheated!” and move on without learning anything. Again. Even though Cruz is one of the most reliable conservatives on almost every issue, except that he won’t withdraw from the race, the important thing is to express anger against Cruz.

There is no value in learning before the next state, or before the one after that, or the one after that, or before the general election. Even though Trump needs the Cruz voters to win, the more rude we can be about him and about his voters, the better. Cruz is the enemy, not Hillary. Right?

Are you stupid? Since you will no doubt deny that accusation, stop making up excuses for Cruz’s behavior. The GOPe is behind Cruz’s actions. He is no more conservative than Jeb Bush!

Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina are a gift from God to America—perhaps our last chance to fully restore the gift of liberty He so graciously provided at our nation's founding.

Cruz is the snake Trump talks about. Cruz conservatives are acting like commies.

My view is that Cruz is not relevant. He can't be hemlock for the GOP, any more than any of probably thousands of fringe republicans.

The press and the public of course are attracted to Cruz, he's a serious candidate having obtained a few hundred delegates and a few million votes. But no matter what his fate is from here on out, no matter how he is viewed, those factors have ZERO impact on the GOP as a whole. What will impact the GOP and RNC is how the other members act, not on how Cruz acts.

Good post, and I agree with you.

We'll know if the PTB are willing to take a hiatus from their scheduled implementation, once it is undeniable that Trump is the presumptive nominee. Will they stick to the apparant neutral, but decidedly #NeverTrump path?

Trump is still 1002 and Ted 572.

My post: ". . . Even though Trump needs the Cruz voters to win, the more rude we can be about him and about his voters, the better. Cruz is the enemy, not Hillary. Right?"

Your response: "Are you stupid?"

Apparently it was not obvious, but my suggestion that attacking Cruz and his supporters (with personal attacks and as rudely as possible) is more important than beating Hillary was intended as sarcasm. Perhaps we could work on being civil with those who are more likely to prefer Trump over Hillary in November? I'm not asking everyone to be polite and respectful, that would be crazy talk, just the ones who want Trump to win in November.

Ted Cruz will NEVER be the nominee. It will be Trump or somebody else, a parachute candidate. It will never be Cruz. He is now a tool, a useful idiot. A bipartisan zombie.

You state many things in your post about Ted Cruz but fail to have learned anything about the man’s character from his actions in the Senate and the duplicitous behavior he has exhibited on the campaign trail. As someone who initially donated to him and then held out hope of a combined ticket I learned about Ted Cruz and now I wouldn’t vote for him as dog catcher.

Rather than showing us the face of God Cruz has shown us the corrupting effects of ambition and the slippery slope waiting for all those who believe the ends justify the means.

Well, you didn’t see the screaming antics of some Cruz supporters at the announcement of the results at the AZ GOP Convention. It was disgusting. And maybe you didn’t hear the complaints about Cruz people who were “helping” old Trump people to vote because they were computer illiterate and chose Cruz slates for them. There were at minimum of two such complaints. And some Cruz people were causing such a ruckus about changing rules, they were so out of order that they were calling up the Sergeant at Arms to throw them out if they continued to disrupt the meeting.

Yeah, lovely people, those Cruzies.

I’m keeping track of his AZ minions here, too. I’m done with the lot of them. No honour.

Despite all the talk about “the people” the actual turnout in the primaries is a kind of sample. Bernie Sanders despite his behind position is undoubtedly more popular personally than Hillary, and his supporters put their money where their mouths are.
