Did you hear that the Secret Service paid a visit to Beck over his stabbing comments?

There is a reason the liar label stuck to Ted the Lying King.

““I can work with Ted Cruz,” Graham said. “I know what I’m getting with Ted Cruz.””

Translation: Graham has gotten his marching orders from the Party - Whatever it takes, stop Trump

Outstanding! Lou gets it in spades.

Us vs. Them. I take credit for coining that one from years ago on the Michael Medved show :)

Many voters are still undecided.

cruise is the obvious choice for GOPe over Trump. First, he would lose the general to hillary, which is preferable to winning with Trump. Second, cruise losing would be a giant conservative black eye. Win-win GOPe.

Yep. I’ll still vote for him as the nominee but I’d like a refund on the book he ironically titled “A Time For Truth”.

Aren’t Trump voters tired of smearing Cruz? Only a few days ago the GOPe said they “could work with Trump”. Now Trump is so bad to them that they “could work with Cruz.”

This is a victory for all of us! It means that neither man is willing to work with the bastards and now they’re down to a choice between two men who they loathe and who is bad for the Washington cartel. Instead of celebrating, we keep on savaging each other! Though a Cruz supporter, if Trump is the nominee I will be excited to help him get elected, especially because how vicious the GOPe has been to him, just like they have been to Ted for several years now. How about you? Are you willing to do the same? Has there any conservative senator willing to call the sleazeball McConnell a liar to his face on the floor of the Senate? How can you still think that he’s in bed with those guys? Let’s unite behind our two people and hope they don’t destroy each other too much before the general.
What the GOPe doesn’t get is that what they’re praying for, a brokered convention, could result in their worst scenario: it will force Trump and Cruz to join forces because on their own they will be picked apart by the GOPe. That would be a formidable force against Hillary.

Yeah we all know what we’re getting with Cruz.

Another bought and paid for beltway guy, with a wife who works for Goldman Sachs and thinks a North American Union is awesome and should be established.

They are backing Cruz and Cruz is happy to be part of the establishment if it means taking out Trump
What Cruz needs to get into his sleazy head is that the same people he is in bed with right now will stab him right in the back once he has done their dirty work

Look at swing states
swing states

VA Cruz came third and never won a single county
FL Cruz is third
OH Cruz is third
CO don’t know but I cannot see the demographics going for Cruz.

Cruz is screwed. No wonder he keeps parroting for Rubio to get out and vote for him instead of others.

Name a single state Romney lost that Cruz can win? I’ll give you five Trump will win New York New Jersey Pa. Ct. Nevada. If Trump just holds the ones Romney won he gets to 279. No pie in the sky that Trump wins California or Ill. or Mass or Maryland just simply logic. Choose Cruz and lose. It is as simple as that. His appeal is way too narrow.

The enemy of my enemy etc.
Cruz is being backed by the establishment here in FL and Cruz has no problem with it.
Millions are being spent on attack AD;’s against Trump. Cruz has Romney;’s staff,. Romney said vote for cruz, Graham said he could work with Cruz.
Others in the establishment have said they will vote for Clinton if Trump is the nominee.

Maybe President Trump would appoint Cruz and Christie as Supremes?

I’d love to see Pelosi’s face.

Wait, I take that back.

Of course Cruz is their choice. Either before the nomination or before the election, they can go to a compliant judge and hold his Natural Born Citizenship up in courts. If it happens before the nomination, the backstabbers can steal the nomination. If it doesn't happen until after the nomination, it hands the election to hillary.

Those who think it won't happen must trust the backstabbers. That would be the same folks who stole the nomination for Cochran.

Idiots or complacent? It's one or the other.

Hopefully Cruz can keep the Yellow-haired Orange-faced Penis-describer from getting the nomination.
