I voted for McCain and Romney and feel like I wasted both votes. Not again.

If by being Republican, you mean a person who will stab his own party and voters in the back, then yes...

He hasn't had the opportunity or need just yet. But you wait, the moment WILL come.

Donald Trump is NOT a Republican which too many voters will find out too late.

Good, the Republican party left me a long time ago.

I fought to give them control of the house and senate then got knifed in the back.

F the Republicans, the are the 90" demoncraps,

The polls all show Cruz doing better against Hillary than Trump.

This article is classic RINO...saying we should let blue states pick our nominee instead of red. I think they shouldn’t even be allowed to vote in primaries because they don’t represent who we are. If we want to win blue states, why don’t we just nominate Bernie Sanders?

The GOP actually gives extra delegates to states who have more elected Republicans. That’s a smart move. I just heard today I think Idaho has more delegates than a state 7 times bigger.

Like most pundits, who tended to dismiss the Liberal Mormon Effect until it hit us squarely in 2012, the author is dismissing the prospect of a 2016 Liberal "Presbyterian" Blasphemer Effect.

A significant historic voting bloc for the GOP is that of Republican Christians (which is not necessarily the same as Republican Evangelicals, BTW). They simply refused to vote for Romney. And many are now saying with even more fervor that they will NEVER vote for Trump. (This is true despite the fact that Republican Christians are among the most anti-GOPe folks in the Party--which is why so many of them are avid Cruz supporters.)

Many, many Republican voters will be conscientious objectors if Trump is nominated. They find Trump to be a despicable phony.

Trump's recent claim to be a uniter is a joke. He is a charming panderer at times, but he is overestimating his charm--and also underestimating the sober spiritual judgment of real Christians.

Ronald Reagan has words for you.

“A man who is 75-80% on my side is a valued Friend and Ally, not my enemy”.

Curious “the Don”

What in the last 40 years have any GOP President done to stop the ever increasing number of Abortions?

I know this falls on deaf ears at Team Cruz but the fact remains, We are a Constitutional Republic that rests on the notion that the people’s Representatives in Government know how to compromise and negotiate. Cruz record demonstrates a total inability to actually govern anything.

This notion that Cruz will ride into DC and dictate his 100%er terms to everyone else there is simply wishful thinking.

Really think Clinton, “Cult of Sanger and Abortion”, is going to REDUCE the number of abortions or is she going to do things that will massively increase them?

This “Never Trump” meme is the behavior of petulant children looking to spite everyone because their desires were not granted. It has nothing at all to do with anything resembling principals or reason.

“Now don’t you feel insignificant and irrelevant?”

Not nearly quite as acutely as you, yourself, I am sure, do.

Cruz has been GOPe since at least 1999.

If you're referring to his assistance in saving us from an Algore presidency, then Thank God!

Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devising strategy, and drafting pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two wins for the Bush team

And today, Cruz can count on Mitch McConnell, John MeCain and Reince Priebus as his closest friends.

- NOT -

“Trump’s recent claim to be a uniter is a joke. He is a charming panderer at times, but he is overestimating his charm—and also underestimating the sober spiritual judgment of real Christians.”

Get over it. Trump is going to be President, and I think he will be a great one. All the RINOs thought Reagan would be a lousy President too, and he was in general, a superb one. I might add Reagan would not meet your high Christian standards either; he seldom to almost never went to church. And who the heck are you to give definition to the term “real Christian”?

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

First off, thank you for your service to the nation. Appreciate it.

Ted Cruz has done a great job for the citizens of Texas. As solicitor general, he sued the Obozo admin multiple times. He ran against the establishment candidate (David Dewhurst or Dew-nothing) for Kay B. Hutchison’s vacated senate seat...and won in a brutal run-off in which the establishment candidate outspent Cruz 5-1. Folks in Texas were fed-up with the RINO Dewhurst and elected Cruz primarily through Tea party onslaughts.

Go out and check Ted Cruz's record in the senate. He is very conservative. Not cuzz I say so, it's documented. Oh, by the way, Senate leadership hate Ted Cruz. Why you ask? He called them out on the senate floor for lying and deceiving the conservative wing of the senate in an effort to get TPA passed after being perverted by the RINO wing of the house of representatives led by then Speaker John Boehner.

These are the facts. Folks can have their own opinions, but’cha can't alter the facts.

Again, thanx for your service.
