The Donald phoned it into Fox News this morning to defend himself against the ridiculous barrage of criticism from the media and even other Republicans.
And if Cruz gets the nod (and I believe will because he will win the debates hands down), Trump will campaign for him (LOUDLY) and get a position with the administration.
RINO RUbio is STRONG on ObamaTRADE,
and on keeping himself EXEMPT from ObamaCARE,
and on covering up Benghazi and the GOP\DNC IRS
attacks on conservatives.
I wouldn't be so sure. Trump is 69 and Cruz is young, what, early 40s. If Trump's campaign should really take off and he won the primaries, no better thing could happen than to have Cruz as his VP. And it would be the best VP selection Republicans have had in decades. Ted would be a strong contender to win two terms after being VP.
I've been thinking that Ted's positive comments about Trump might mean Ted is thinking along those lines in case Trump should win the primaries.
If he was he'd be attacking the most conservative candidate, like Huckabee did.
Rubio can’t get away from his own personal history. But he’s an excellent speaker and I believe he can be helpful to a Republican administration...it’s finding the right niche for him.
Thanks friend. I’m sick of people thinking it’s a lost cause. Good thing Ronald Reagan didn’t give up his quest for the presidency after his tough loss to Gerald Ford in 1976. He came back four years later and won the presidency beating back the establishment. That spirit and attitude that Reagan exemplified needs to run rampant on our side. Too many gloom and doom folks here and around the country.
That is sophistry at its best.
I can’t say that I disagree with this statement.
I guess I’m a communist to say that someone who owns mega-yachts, the new trend of giga houses, spends in obscenely stupid ways probably has more than enough money... he probably squeezed more than enough from the workers who got him where he is or exported enough jobs.
If one player stacks up all the money and assets in the monopoly game the game isn’t much fun for anyone else.
The wealth equation is more than a little lop sided when the CEO makes 200 times as much as the rank and file... CEOs aren’t that special... I know enough of them to say that.
I'm getting more excited every day.
I think you’re right.
He almost had me fooled for a moment.
But I think pretty boy O'Malley will be the candidate cuz this is about the women's vote. Ask Bubba how that works.
He is the only Republican candidate to defend The Donald. I still think it’s going to be Cruz or Walker, but I’m not blind to the fact that Trump has tapped into a massive pool of discontented voters, and he will be a major factor in the GOP race.
It’s gonna be Walker and Cruz in the end.
Bernie Sanders is right about this, but he just has the wrong formula for reaching that point.
Don’t try to raise the minimum wage, but stop flooding the US with legal and illegal immigrants which reduces the wages of almost all Americans. And stop making stupid trade deals that are guaranteed to move more US jobs to cheap labor nations and then increase the number of Americans on government poverty programs.
Do that and supply and demand will set pay at reasonable levels.
I don't think Cruz wants anything to do with him.
Besides, there is no existing Cabinet-level position for Secretary of Stupidity or Secretary of Sycophancy.
His dream job would be as Secretary of Keeping Illegals Pouring Through the Fence, but I don't think a Cruz administration would allow that.
Walker, perhaps...but Walker ain't got a chance, so...
Amen friend. Me too. You can just feel the panic amongst the establishment in both parties. Trump has energized the GOP race and make no mistake Bernie Sanders is making noise with the Dems. Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are on the run and in panic mode.
I just haven’t been as impressed by Walker as some have. He’s done some great things in Wisconsin, but I’m not sure how he’ll fare side-by-side with other candidates in the debates and on the campaign trail.
Handing out Taco’s and water bottles at the border would be the perfect job
for Rubio.
GOP e is over. They’ll be the last to know
