Well, to be fair, Cruz is much more intelligent. He has made a living arguing with the best and brightest attorneys in the world. This is a cakewalk to him.

I agree with you about the Supreme Court, sir. But, hey, what’s wrong with Cruz pulling a Taft and becoming a justice after he is president? :)

"Remember: It's the Daily Beast."

True... but the quotes & Twitter messages of Trump & Cruz are facts.

And then consider the fact that both Trump and Cruz have criticized all the other candidates except each other.

True or false, it would still be a very smart move for both of them.

Spot on, Cruz is my candidate and I also don’t understand why any Cruz supporters would spend their time badmouth Trump.

Then why is he kowtowing to a media-driven socialist?

I’m looking for conservatism. I’m sick of this socialist interloper Trump being worshipped by useful idiots.

Cruz as "Just another lackey to McConnell and the media."

The man who publicly called McConnell a liar on the floor of the Congress - and then took and slapped back all the attacks from RINOs and media for doing that?

Truly your inability to turn back pro-Trump sentiment on FR has rendered tour posts irrational if not delusional.

Trump will fade out eventually. If you’re really that concerned, 50 of the other people running for president have came out against him. Perry, Paul and Graham in particular.

The idea of putting this country in the hands of a socialist Obama part II is not funny. The fact that useful idiots are putting entertainment value above common sense is truly scary. There is a silent majority of conservatives who can’t believe this, but are cowed into to silence by the liberal tactics. You should thank me for defending this country from The One II.

In the meantime he is destroying conservatism within the GOP. The RINOs are pulling off a stunning victory.

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

I nominate Nick.

Does anyone believe Cruz can out deal Trump?

That is correct. While I wouldn’t want Trump over Cruz at all, I think Trump is doing a good work in shaking up the snobby elites. I wonder sometimes if Jeb is Trump’s target. I hope so.

I disagree. RINOs are in turmoil and rightly so. Their main candidates are floundering.

I only see “liberal tactics” that attempted to “cowed and silence” the outspokenly anti-PC Trump and Cruz. And I see the usually cabal of media/Democrats and RINOs trying to drive both out of the GOP field to “cowed and silence” those Americans who are also anti-PC.

If that cabal had been able to silence Trump, we'd have another meaningless presidential election with the destruction of America by immigration invasion and unfair trade warfare completely out of the debate.

Cruz leads my short list as well. I’m not a fan of Trump as nominee, but I LOVE what he is saying and how he is shaking things up.

If Cruz stays true to conservative principles and Trump throws his support to Cruz I will be ecstatic.

You mean a guy who has won numerous Supreme Court decisions? Underestimate him at your peril. Something Don Trump obviously realizes.

If Trump goes after him, I am sure he’ll stand up to him. I am also sure if the debate mods would allow for well, substantive debate and the opportunity, he’d be glad to point out differences and why his ideas are better. As of now, there is nothing to stand up to. He isn’t goign to just attack him for no reason.
