Actually, Ted Cruz is the most successful Republican this year. Donald Trump is NOT a Republican which too many voters will find out too late.

I would be shocked,stunned disbelieving if the eGOP backed Sen Cruz. After all this is “ the most hated man in the Senate”.

Hated, sure. But in their minds, he’s still kin.

There is something comforting in the idea of a Cruz-Clinton matchup...

My absolute dream would be a clinton/Cruz series of debates.

Mister (inarticulate) trump? Not so much.

If by being Republican, you mean a person who will stab his own party and voters in the back, then yes, Trump is not a Republican.

If Trump wins the nomination, will you vote for Trump in the general election?

I wonder how Rush Limbaugh takes this. For months, he has described how, although the establishment hates Trump, it HATES (he hisses the word, every time) Cruz so much more than Trump because they KNOW that Cruz is unbowed and unbroken when it come to bucking the establishment folk. Why, he even called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor.

I suppose the establishment has not blocked out of their minds, like Rush has, that when the chips are down and the globalists agenda is on the line, Cruz comes through like a champ — TPA, Corker bill, H-1B visas, more legal immigration. Ted is their boy.

Most Americans are not ideological conservatives.

They don’t live by a dogma or think about big issues.

They live quiet and orderly lives.

But they see they’re losing their country and are waking up fighting to take it back.

The elite is witnessing a revolution and they still don’t know what hit them.

Its much larger than Donald Trump.

Many Cruz supporters refuse to see or acknowledge this.

Why not? Cruz has been GOPe since at least 1999.

All this anti-Trump clusterbuck does nothing but to strengthen my resolve that Trump is what the country needs, what the folks have and will state as their overwhelming choice.

If the archaic dinosaurs called the G.O.P. attempt anything to remove Trump from being the chosen favorite of John and Jane Q. Public, either politically or physically, John and Jane just might know of a tree that those G.O.P. buzzards might end up watering.

I am not a millenial basement inhabiting couch lounging keyboard banging fool. I have been a witness of American politics since the election of John F. Kennedy.

One question I was taught to ask, and examine the possible answers was, in the realm of politics, ‘How will it benefit the nation?’

The Democrats and the Republicans have long erased this question from the minds of Americans, and have instead asked themselves, ‘How will this ensure my re-election in the next term?’

If the Establishment were able to decide on stuff like this, they'd already have the nomination sewed up.

But they don't, so they don't.

I caught that, too. Apparently Cruz believes Trump is a republican. And if Cruz brings up in the debate that Trump is not a republican he needs to remind him of what he said.

Cruz is the second most hated man in the senate. Jeff Sessions took the first spot.
