An honest question to all Cruz supporters that try to describe Trump as a democrat/liberal. If you believe that Trump really is a democrat, and Cruz can't beat him in the GOP primaries, how in the heck do you expect him to win in the general against a real democrat?
>> That’s just the drooling-idiot left trying to pick our candidate again. <<
These same poll sources continuously overestimate Trump in the primaries.
Your first two things are non-starters. Cruz is right on both those issues...he changed on TPP when he understood the ramifications. That was one change compared to one thousand for Trump.
We’ve explained over and over that his action on the Corker bill was done to delay and defeat it.
He is not married to Goldman Sachs (and that is a tacky thing to say). Cruz’s wife needed a job (unlike Trump’s wife who was an imported hottie). She got an honorable job with a company that Trump has done more business with than Cruz.
Cruz went to a little high school in Texas. No one from that school had ever gone to an Ivy League school. Cruz was able to go to Harvard because he is a brilliant guy. Going to Harvard is not a sin and you are stupid to imply that it is.
Freshman Senator? Yes, Cruz has held political offices in Texas and done credit to all of them. He has argued before the Supreme Court and won great victories for us.
Trump has never done anything in politics except donate to people who could help him in his business including democrats and he has hired illegals and cavorted with mobsters.
I’ll ignore the no executive experience which is meaningless and the H1-B visas ... funny you should bring that up since Trump was for them all the way and only backed down when his campaign pointed out it was political poison.
I don’t know who Mitt Rove is and if you think Ted is responsible for everyone who supports him, he is not.
Trump has touted that he’s financed his own campaign. He has not. There was an article about how he’s taken a loan... well it’s complicated and you wouldn’t understand it but Donald Trump is not financing his own campaign.
Exactly-Hit nail on head.
Even with the constitutional balance of power? The same if not worse Congress? And what about his choices for SC? do some research. I heard a recent name floated (and, no, it wasn’t his sister-God forbid).
Cruz in senate, yup, keeping that balance and saying no to liberal SC justices.
Puritans...LOL better than the Christian Taliban.
Uh yeah, about that....
I like intellectual. Do you have a link to the kevin williamson speech? If they have deleted single posts, please mail it to me or give me a hint of the title and I will search for it.
I'd make fun of you guys calling Trump a con man, but that's not even a con!
It's a "dog ate my homework."
DT is not a conservative Tea Party member. He actually has done nothing to make America Great Again but does make money off other hard working inventors, techies, blue collar workers, and others with money to spend at his hotels, golf courses, and casinos. All of which have been losing money and if the economy crashes will be practically worthless. So why not apply for a job with housing and the best benefits in the world, PLUS life long secret service protection.
See my post 67. This primary season is about Trump vs. Not Trump. The majority Not-Trump vote has been split.
Old info (no pun intended). Trump turns 70 on June 14.
Trump is a Big Government autocrat at heart. It shows.
“This primary season is about Trump vs. Not Trump. The majority Not-Trump vote has been split.”
I think this primary season is about Trump vs The Establishment. The sheeple vote which is blindly clinging to the establishment has been split.
See how that works? We both have a perspective, either of which is valid, depending on our viewpoint.
Factually, your guy is losing to Trump. That is not an opinion or viewpoint. If he truly is the better candidate, you have to ask yourself why their positions in the race aren’t reversed. Only the correct answer will lead to a resolution of the situation he’s now in.
“Cruz is right on both those issues...he changed on TPP when he understood the ramifications.”
Cruz was in a position to know far more about the ramifications of TPP than any of us mere citizens, prior to his vote for cloture on TPA.
We Freepers discussed the likely ramifications all throughout the process. In fact, a huge number of us understood the issue well enough that we were aghast at how he voted on that, and many of us pulled back reflexively from Cruz, at that exact moment.
Excuse Ted for that if you like, but it was an enormous betrayal of our trust in him.
Yes, I was fully on board with Ted until he sold us out with that vote, as we’re many others here. From that moment forward, there’s been one revelation after another that has confirmed our worst fears about him.
“There is no national Not Cruz sentiment.”
Then why isn’t he beating Trump?
I agree with you, in fact I think Ted and the Don should duke it out for bragging rights.
Course I also think you should start with seventeen candidates and then vote one off after each debate, a la American Idol until you come down to the winning candidate.
The biggest reason given for Romney not beating Obama in 2012 is that a large contingent of conservative voters stayed home on election day. Romney just wasn’t conservative enough for them. I fear that if Trump wins the primary, an even larger number of conservatives will stay home on election day essentially handing the election to the democrat nominee.
In the spirit of disclosure this not as intellectual as Williamson can get but it is effin’ funny.
At some point, people have to wonder if Rubio and Kasich are not in it to hurt Cruz.
