I was Cruz and Scot Walker. Still like Ted Cruz but I think Trump can run circles around the media if he becomes President.

I had given up on all of them. The more I researched, the worse they all got.
They were all owned by the same big $$ and still are, most of it open border and bad trade like TPP.

Donald Trump did more in a week than any of us were ever able to accomplish on educating this nation on the threat of uncontrolled immigration.

Know why? He is a great listener!
Evidently the ONLY one in politics today, other than Jeff Sessions, willing to put it all on the line to tell you the truth!
He LISTENS...and evidently he listened in 2004, during the debates of the presidential race when Bob Shieffer of CBS stated that the most questions he got from the PUBLIC to ask the candidates was about.
IMMIGRATION!
2004!

THAT is how long we have all been ignored, until Donald Trump!

SCHIEFFER: Let’s go to a new question, Mr. President, I got more e-mail this week on this question than any other question. And it is about immigration.

(PS....if you really want to see what con men both Bush and Kerry are, take a look at their answers in that debate to the ONE immigration question!

Donald Trump’s best quality? HE LISTENS!

Cruz was my first choice before Trump joined the race. Hated Bush. I did not believe Cruz had a chance to win before Trump shook up the race and allowed conservative ideas to get past the media filter. I still like Cruz and will Support him if he gets the nomination. Trump is the only person I see that can overcome the media bias and also fight the GOPe effectively if elected.

As of Feb I was a Cruz supporter. Met him in NH, talked with him one-on-one for a while away from the event.

Walker and Cruz, Walker by a nose because of what he'd actually accomplished in Wisconsin.

Trump has had to grow on me, and he has to the point I wholeheartedly support him.

I preferred Cruz. Still do, but I don't think he can sell nationally. His knowledge is great, but his genuineness and delivery is poor. Heard him delivering a speech yesterday - the snippets all sounded like AlGore's "He played on our fears" speech. I so wish Cruz had Rubio's talent. FWIW, it think the eventual ticket will be Trump/Rubio. Cruz to SCOTUS!

I was for Scott Walker too. But I am rethinking my support for Trump due to his apparent support for amnesty.

None. I was severely disappointed in the politics of Washington especially after the 2012 disaster. I sorta gave up and took a break from FR. I was a little hopeful after 2014 but that came crashing down quickly.

When I finally re-engaged with FR, it had been a month or two since Trump announced. I chose Trump for 3 reasons, he isn’t a career politician, he vocalized the illegal immigration issue and the importance of securing our borders which although was a topic of consideration it was not the number one issue, and his view of Political Correctness.

Cruz is my number 2 choice, and I would vote for him in the general if he were the nominee even though I personally think that he is ineligible for POTUS. I think Cruz would better serve the country as a Supreme Court Justice, as his tenure would be for life and the potential good he could accomplish would be unmeasurable.

Me, myself and I were Cruz supporters. But and a very BIG BUT, felt it was futile to even attempt his march to the White House amid the country’s mentality at this time. The vote would have been a waste, but it would have been cast.

When TRUMP came along, seeming to have a personal relationship with Cruz to some degree, at that time, seeing the two as a team it was realized the team might have an actual possibility of taking it all the way to the White House! Therefore the two-man team was and is necessary. Hopefully, SARAH PALIN (if it is she who will be in Iowa today) will sit down w/ the two and all three will be able to iron out the wrinkles in making those trousers able to hold a sharp crease once again.

By the end of today, we hope to know some truthful answers and have a better knowledge.. We wait with baited breath.

I did and still do support Ted Cruz as my first wish to be POTUS.

I believe that Mr. Trump has a better chance of winning and I wholeheartedly support him as well.

I looked at Walker for a moment and his choosing of Liz Mair was a surprise. I was shocked and amazed that he’d then bring Brad Dayspring on board after what he did to McDaniel in Mississippi. That crossed Walker off the list for good for me.

I was and still am for Cruz, but liked Walker as a possible choice. I never considered Carson as a serious candidate and the rest of the cast liberals Vichy Republicans.

However in a Trump or Hillary contest I would go with Trump, but without any enthusiasm or illusions he is actually close to being a conservative. I am not thrilled with Trump and the GOPE coming out and supporting him to get rid of Cruz, this is an ominous sign in my opinion. If this gets worse I may have reconsider supporting Trump in a primary, few of the GOPE trash would support Trump in a general election but by then their filthy hands would be tied, in the primary not so much.

I supported Ted Cruz. I still support both of them. I wish they’d quit fighting.


Same here:)

I agree

But until that’s changed legally they are NBC

Cruz to me anyhow legally can be questioned over NBC status

Which needs to be clarified
