Love is blind. Logic goes out the window.

Reagan was much more likable than Cruz, JMHO.

I reject the conclusion of the article, that the debate will be ugly between those two. It might be, but it takes two to tango. Cruz is going to have his hands full from others on the stage, and Trump can "play civil" for the debate, tweets to the contrary notwithstanding. Seems the RNC is trying to get on the bandwagon too ...

"Get on Trump's List" email from the RNC was not authorized. I am self funding my campaign! Do not pay. 12:21 PM - 13 Feb 2016

Got it, but just returning from confidence in man and back to the Lord in trust and confidence is powerful enough to change things.

I used to LOVE Cruz. Now I can't stand him.

Yeah, back when he & Mike Lee where the only ones standing up to Obama, Mitch McConnell and the RNC, the FRumpsters loved him.

'Can't stand him', that's mild. ...I'd say most Trump supports actually hate the man.

When I say I'm Cruz/Trump, Voting Cruz in my primary, Trump in the general if he wins.

Rarely can I get a Trump supporter to say they'd vote Cruz in the general should he pull off an upset.

No doubt. Also, Reagan got his message out by speaking past the media to the American people. Trump has this ability and connects with regular people. His rallies demonstrate this. Cruz does not have this ability.

Well very odd, but a lot of things about this season have been very odd.

I’ve made a point that this season probably is under the largest degree of prayer of any in memory. God doesn’t ignore this.

The results will look downright strange, as providence kicks in overtime, so to speak.

Well, I would. If God got him to that point in the game in spite of his eight balls, I figure that something larger is cooking and to treat it as a personal agenda would be stupid.

My beef is where Cruz is right NOW. He’s apparently sitting with a bushel basket over his real light, with a garish artificial “Christianesque” neon lamp flooding the scene in the meantime. Trump is more sincere than this, sins and all.

He could change that at any moment and far be it from me to wish him not to.

And Trump will come across as a bratty, petulant three year old, you know, himself.

Trump looks like he may force the issue by suing him.

Dream on.

You may be right unless they discuss issues!

Dream on nothing - it’s not up to Trump - CRUZ himself should show selfless good faith and put this issue to bed - it’s HIS problem but he make make it a problem for all of us if he is the nominee and then loses in court giving the communist Dems the election.

That's not how it works.

Really? Get the point here and stop the Cruz-like deflection of the point.

If Cruz gets nominated and then DQ’d that certainly will not work and COULD hand the election to the Leftist tyrants. That is not the work of someone who is supposedly selflessly for America and her future. Your man needs to take this issue in hand. It’s his problem and he needs to own it and deal with it now. He should have dealt with it long before now.

Cruz has proven himself for many years as a solid conservative.

You, on the other hand, have been posting here for less than 3 months and have proven you love attacking the most conservative candidate in the race, and side with GOPe, Dems, Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other who hate Cruz almost as much as you as evidenced by the fact they criticize him less than you do.

And I know you said that you no longer will read my comments, but I am posting this for the benefit of others who may not see through your fake conservative concern.

It will not go unanswered when I see it.
