Well, that’s up to my peers here

On a Cruz thread, bashing Cruz- refused to say whether or not you’re conservative.

I’ve been here for 13 years, you really think blaming me for your own failures brings even the slightest tinge of guilt?

LOL

Trump has a Teflon side that can shake off the attacks in the context of a public context.

Trying to do that in the Senate... well maybe it would not fail in principle, but at any rate Cruz is not daring to do it.

Hope it works. Cruz is fantastic. Unlike Trump he has proven he can win an election.

And Trump, unlike Cruz, has shown he can successfully negotiate.

Governing is not campaigning.

Tired of the same cast of characters coming on Cruz threads and bashing him.

You ask this guy if he’s a conservative, and he won’t answer. He’s on a conservative board, CC- and he won’t answer. Can you beat that???

You sound like a liberal and I expect you lie like a liberal. Cruz don’t need you, for sure.

Looks like the gang of 8 has a wanna be member.

I like how recently (during my professional working career now at 20 years) across society we have been encouraging kids to get in to S.T.E.M. related educations/degrees. Great idea - right?

Senator Cruz wants to flood the market with H1Bs - increase the cap from 65,000 to 325,000 yeay Senator Cruz. I'm sure the 260,000 Americans engineers (makers) are totally jazzed about your campaign. Senator Cruz is encouraging a race to the bottom concerning wages for very highly skilled people. Perhaps this why he is near the bottom of this race for the White House.

Maybe we should open up the law profession to H1B's I wonder if that'd have his support. Oh wait lawyers are special and only they know how to protect the constitution. I was to busy taking differential equations for the 3rd time to learn all that.

Thats the rub Senator Cruz cares more about the constitution in theory than Americans in practice ... sanctimonious blow hard is how he comes across to those of us who build things.

To pretend lawyers who become politicians (most are lawyers) follow constitution anyhow or have since FDR, very least Roe V Wade is an affront to anyone who has been paying attention, so lets stop living in fantasy land.

Too bad the constitution doesn't have something in it to explicitly guide Senator Cruz to a clue about protecting Americans and their means of making a living. Especially when it is such a crucial segment of people, powering huge parts of this economy.

Senator Cruz is good at giving great speeches that hardly anyone one hears or remembers- and rightly so because underneath it all he appears to cares more about the document then the actual Americans the document is there to serve, guide, and protect.

I hope he got a super genius plan that works because he gonna need it to start attracting some voters. Right now he seem dead set on me having less prosperity, less property, less financial security and thus less liberty and less independence. This seems similar to the existing cartel.

Yike the more I write the angrier I get with him. The builders, developers, engineers and makers of America Senator Cruz is trying to subvert need an apology before we even start to consider him for the nomination.

Makers want to make America great again not complain about how its been slapped around while simultaneously importing more spies err I mean foreign engineers to steal from us all.

Well there IS that “We The People” thang at the beginning.

It’s not quite “We The Hangers-On” or “We The Visitors.”

I've got a better question.

Why are Trump supporters afraid of posting news about Trump they know makes him sound liberal?

Donald Trump: I'd "be okay" with Paul Ryan as House speaker

What really interested me is where he says he disagrees with Paul Ryan. He says Paul Ryan is too "anti medicare, medicaid and Social Security".

I simply see no reason to trust the man whatsoever.

I attribute it to the same lack of courage that led to the silence over this bit of Trump pandering.

Donald Trump supports Renewable Fuel Standard

Not really, they are what they are— memorable for their simplicity and myopia.

Cruz also has the money and organization to carry it off.

I would bet a fortune that this is how Trump is thinking:

Corn ethanol is American and non imported oil = Corn ethanol is good.

Now there are many political and engineering arguments that bid to persuade otherwise, but Trump hasn’t dug that deep.

It’s an understandable failure. It doesn’t look like some huge sell out on principle as much as a failure to understand.
