The Trump cult is keeping Cruz back from defeating the Rubio menace.

Way to go cultists.

Not too late to wake up and back a real conservative with guts.

Trump has to beat the fake christians in the SEC primary.

Jeff Sessions & maybe Vitter need to endorse Trump.

Trump’s the only person who can destroy Rubio in NH and also his general election claim.

You can’t prevent folks from taking a bite out of the apple. We make our general calling, as it were, Then move on. If folks have an ear they will hear. I’ve been a Trump fan because I believe it’s time to give a private citizen a shot. Surely, Cruz would be better. Rubio is a disaster. But we cannot prevent what the population will do, especially since they elected Obama, twice.

Cruz supporters aren’t helping their candidate when they insult other voters.

The Trump cult

Cruz and his followers need to take some personal responsibility. His face is out there and so is his message. Personally, I would go to Carson rather than Cruz. And, you really should reconsider the 'conservative with guts' meme. Rings hollow.

I’m guessing sleazebag commentators like Kaus are being paid by someone’s PAC?

The Cheap Labor Express candidates must be stopped.

Yeb!, Kasuck, Christie, Fiorino, and Young Yeb!

Nominate a cheap labor importer again and you will have another Designated Loser.

Millions of us will not endorse national suicide with our vote.

If you support Trump and can say that with a straight face you are a better actor than Rubio.

I admit Trump is a crapshoot.

The sewer in the District of Corruption is so deep I think only an outsider has a chance of changing anything.

I said it all along, Trump is a “Hail Mary Pass.”

Yeah sure. Voters are in charge. We have 1 vote. Your candidate is doing plenty of screwing up himself. He doesn’t need any help from Trump supporters. All his problems are self inflicted wounds. Nobody in the Trump camp forced him to do the things he has done. Everyone has 1 vote. I again say we are on state number 2 so why are you yelling and screaming about Cruz losing already. Trump supporters have 1 vote and that is it. So use your vote carefully and we will do the same. The reason Rubio is of interest right now is because his fellow Senators are all endorsing him........Is that Trump’s fault? Or is it Cruz’s fault? Yep Cruz’s fault.

Carson? I think he has been getting too much of a pass. I'm not sure that Carson has ever been running a serious campaign. His campaign financing operation appears to only function for making more money. It put's little into the actual campaign. Most goes back into it's fundraising operation. It appears that is serves to grow mailing list and selling access.

When Carson was at the height of his surge, leading in the polls, what did he do? He temporarily suspended his campaign to go sell his book. Sound like something a serious campaign operation would do?

This week, 15 minutes before the Iowa caucus starts, his campaign incompetently puts out that Carson isn't going to NH or SC. Instead he's going home to rest and get a change of clothes. His next stop, according to the story, would be the National Prayer Breakfast the occurred yesterday. Next thing we hear is that his first stop after getting his rest and clothes would be a fundraiser/campaign stop in NC. NC? Really?

Let's not forget - way back when - that Carson's foreign policy adviser leaked that Carson was unwilling to do the homework. And if that wasn't enough, how about his staff, both on the campaign and PAC's, bolting and going to other campaigns?

This week we learn - after Iowa is over (no voter manipulation there) - that Carson is canning almost half of his staff.

None of these things are indications of a campaign that was ever serious. It appears more likely that the campaign's intent was really about self promotion, book sales etc.. If true, then his campaign has been a fraud. None of this appears like something that deserves any support.

You are delusional. Trump isn’t going to be the one that takes out Cruz. The GOP is the one that is taking him out. He never had a chance so keep your Trump hating going and say hello to your nominee Rubio.

LOL! Good one! Think of all the foam parties Rubio could have. Say, they could even have a bath house in the hotel!
