Well if he really believes the Iran deal is bad he wouldn’t worry about being seen with Glenn and Palin as you suggest. I get tired of everything being about politics.

So why would Trump agree to rally tea party, pro-Israel, and other conservative forces seeking to kill the Iran agreement when the outcome is basically foreordained in favor of President Obama?

An incredibly stupid question. First of all it is not a loss for Trump who had nothing to do with it. He holds no political office. The outcome is sort of known now but that should not stop rallies and protests against it. Plus Trump would kill it if he became President.

Trump is like Kim Kardasian...

They get the spotlight,by just showing up.

I am for Ted Cruz, and I am voting for Ted Cruz and no one else.

Yeah yeah, I know all about the “well if you say that, the Democrat will win”

or go to Hell.

No need to be nasty about it.

Vote for whomever you want.

I seriously doubt that the election of one man in 2016 is going to reverse the direction of this country or this world.

We have been lied to for a long, long time, and we are very likely being lied to now.

It’s been clear to me since 2014 at least that elections don’t mean a damn thing, people are liars, and they will say anything for power.

And it also seems clear to me looking at current events that someone’s clever lunatic scheme is being executed globally.

I think we are in for interesting and troubling times.

So as far as this elections goes, it’s probably just whatever.

Texas beloved favorite Tennessean, Davie Crocket said that too.

“First make sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

“You can go to hell — I’m going to Texas.”

CRUZ or LOSE.

Exactly. Trump is simply one more guest at the rally, along with others like Glen and Sarah, et.al. They are all there for the right reason. Good for them.

However, the media will like to hang Glen and Sarah around Trump’s neck as soon as possible, and it won’t be helpful. Wait and watch. Since this is Cruz’ deal, perhaps Trump can avoid that effort. Cruz won’t be able to.

Cruz opposition to the agreement is a bit hollow since he voted with 99 members of congress to give the president approval with only 34 votes. Trump might have a hard time not trashing Cruz as part of the problem as this deal is in part Cruz’s fault.

Beware the ‘Business Insider’.

The leftwing will at some point go full measure at pitting Donald and Ted against each other. But it won’t work.

You’re correct....Business Insider (like most of “news” media) is infested with leftist staff and they push the leftist agenda as much as they can.

I am with you. Vote only for the man who voted for the Corker amendment to make sure Iran gets the deal 0bama wants. Vote only for the man who voted for the TPA. Vote for the man who tried to increase the number of foreign workers in the US by 600%.

Vote for Cruz!!

Per Ronald Regan, we need moar bold colors. Strike a clear difference against the Progressives and GOPe.

I cannot wait for Trump’s Tax plan, due out prolly after the Republicans release their next CR

....Americans are hungry to feel once again a sense of mission and greatness.

I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”—when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?......

Trump has been saying this is a bad deal all along. What difference does it make if he says it again loud and clear in Washington DC along side Cruz.

ConservativeMind like ‘RightwardHo’ and others that are seen as ‘concern trolls’ have taken Corker Amendment and TPA with respect to Ted Cruz out of context.

In voting Nay on cloture and Yay on the vote itself for the Corker Bill Ted stood correctly given the circumstances which ConservativeMind fails to expound on and I would ask please don’t expound because it is evident he is full of bullshit which I am sure we will shortly see more of on this thread in response.

In voting for TPA, Ted Cruz voted again correctly as his constituents had persuaded him and as a person knowledgeable about the TPA that had been around for decades but had lapsed under Harry Reid. There is nothing wrong with TPA and it was never secret. It’s been online for months and months. A look at TPA will persuade any reader that the TPA as an authorization and rule book is vital to a President negotiating trade deals including future GOP Presidents which might include Ted Cruz or Donald Trump.

The bottom line is that unless you vote in Iowa, you don’t need to choose between Trump and Cruz. Only one of them will win and the other will drop out quickly.

Why would either Cruz or Trump drop out because they lost a caucus vote in a little farm state with less electoral votes than Philadelphia?

Every cycle I ax the same question, who really gives a shit about iowa, and why?
