Look, I love Cruz too, I really do, I wish he could be president right now. But he is NOT going to win, not at this time. The elites shoved Romney down our throats last time, and this time, it will be Bush. The elites hate Trump and he has no love for them. Get behind Trump now, let him rid us of these corrupt parasites, and we will be able to nominate Cruz or ??? in 8 years. Cruz will still be a young man, and in a much better political climate.
But as of right now, it is Trump and hopefully, big changes, or Bush and politics as usual until this once great nation collapses. Trump is our Hail Mary.
With President Donald Trump Ted Cruz and others like him will have a great political future. You divide your vote among Cruz or whoever of the 14 or so running then you give this thing to Bush, Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Romney, Graham, Rove, et al, and NOTHING changes ever.
Trump or Bush (or Clinton) take your pick. Think, man, think! Donald Trump is a gift from God, a miracle, as last chance. Grab this lifeline. Then we can fix all the issues later that Trump is weak or wrong about. He is right about what needs to be fixed right now! And best of all, the corrupt GOP establishment will be gone. Trump owes them nothing.
Kreskin, is that you?
The first primary is still 5 months away and you're making that call? Excuse me if I don't buy into your prognostications.
Look, I love Cruz too, I really do, I wish he could be president right now. But he is NOT going to win, not at this time.
You don't know that. No one does. But even if it were true, I will always support the most conservative candidate in the primary. That's how primaries work. I will certainly not support one of the most liberal in Donald Trump, that just makes no sense.

I could say the same about you and all others who are supporting the liberal in the race conservative over Ted Cruz.
Trump or Bush (or Clinton) take your pick.
Again, says you. Excuse me for not buying your justification for supporting the liberal Donald Trump.
Now could you please answer the question I posed to you earlier? Why, if I am not willing to support lifelong liberal Donald Trump, would you say I must find Mitt Romney acceptable? Your "logic" is lacking. Please explain.
They told us Romney was the only one who could win the election. I’m not buying the same argument from you on Trump. Cruz fundraising is doing FANTASTIC. Romney outspent his competitors at least 5 to 1 and still lost a lot of primaries. Cruz’ money is so big that Bush can’t outspend him by even 2 to 1.
Cruz could definitely win. Bush is incredibly weak and I honestly think his chances are doomed after he went nowhere in this first debate. When multiple other candidates went up in the polls and Bush stayed flat or went down, it was a devastating result. Especially since he gave as good a performance as he’s capable of and is not likely to be able to do any better next time. His brand name is too poisonous to even the low info GOP voters.
Hillary is also an incredibly weak candidate. This is an election where we can truly write our own ticket. This is no time to settle for the second best of Trump and hope for some far-out strategy of “fixing” him later.
No Democrat will ever be our Hail Mary.
As for Cruz not being able to win...last time around at this stage, it looked like Rick Perry was going to ride a big wave right into the White House.
