If Cruz doesn’t show he can stand up to Trump, he’ll be proving he doesn’t have what it takes to be a leader. Just another lackey to McConnell and the media.

Stand up to Trump for what? Trump hasn’t done or said anything against Ted. And, ted would never say anything negative - he might attack his policies - in a polite way - but would never go after the man.

Cruz is my #1.

And I just don’t understand why any Cruz supporters spend their time trying to badmouth Trump. Trump is not the enemy.

This already looks to be a Trump/Cruz/Sessions/Palin juggernaut. Who will be added next?

Taking the GOP back - one person at a time.

nick, you're back and as stupid as ever.

If there is anything that Cruz is not, it is a lackey to the turtle and the media.

Do you live on coke for a couple of weeks before saying things that are so obviously stupid?

Yep - this line gives it away: “Cruz is being very sly,” the Trump campaign insider said.

to reiterate.....

Trump is the master of the deal

To strengthen his run, a deal with Cruz would be beneficial

Cruz is not polling strong

Therefore the deal...... Trump/Cruz 2016 and then Cruz/? 2020

An observation

I’m still for Walker and Carson

Not really. Ted doesn’t have the grit that Trump has. He fights, but in a different, more laid-back way. For some reason, the rough and tumble is what is exciting voters.

I agree about Trump exciting the people,I love that,but I am a Cruz supporter,every interview he has done with the left wing loons he eats their lunch by turning their arguments right back against them and they are left with their butts hanging out,and he does it with a smile.
I would vote for either one,but if Trump turns off voters in the primary I’m with Cruz

Ted Cruz has deeper core values. He’s the stronger candidate for president, but Trump is so gutsy. He’s telling off the establishment, political correctness, and the media all at once. It’s wonderful.

I think y’all got it backwards. The Donald wouldn’t play second fiddle to anyone, much less ‘plan to lose’. I think he genuinely likes Cruz politics and personalities and is planning on Ted as VP since he already said the would select as VP someone he would think truly qualified to be president (when he retires).. Of course I think Ted belongs on the Supreme Court where he can do the most good for 40 years.

Trump: economy
Cruz: constitutionalism/rule of law
Sessions: immigration
Palin: energy

Based on what Trump is building, I suspect Bolton when it comes to foreign policy.

in the meantime, the task is getting nominated

Trump/ Cruz = New York/ Texas.

that is a powerful primary voter number
