‘Bill was term-limited out in 2001.’

God bless you, 2ndD Vet. You and all Cruz supporters care deeply about the USA.

But do you realize what you are saying?

The Clintons are a team. Worse, they are a corrupt organization that even goes beyond Hillary and Bill.

A poll that ‘Cruz can Beat Hillary and Trump can’t’ is like static economics. It’s like saying that a tax cut hurts government revenue.

Even democrats are disgusted by the Clintons. Why turnout is so low. Why Sanders is so popular.

I hate the way Cruz campaigns. He attacks Trump and softens his blows on the Clintons. Typical ‘insider beltway consultant B.S.

It’s tough to see how CRuz has any integrity now to take with him back to the Senate after this. He will have even less support than he had before from the people because he’s shown that he really is an establishment guy. WTH did he do this?!

Cruz was stopping “comprehensive immigration reform” back when Trump was firing Dennis Rodman on Celebrity Apprentice.

‘Trump IS the donor class.’

Yeah, I can see how much the Establishment is running to join with Trump.

Oh yeah, I mean, he’s such an evil ‘donor class’ guy that they can’t stand him.

Remember the State of the Union response? Aimed against Trump. Yeah, that’s really some big time cronyism Trump is a part of.

Makes perfect sense, since Cruz is a sleazy globalist NWOer.

Bush and Rubio have crashed and burned because the rank and file knew they were open-borders globalists. So the establishment ran Cruz, also, a camouflaged open-borders globalist, whom they can PRETEND they didn’t want.

Is that about the time hidi was writing her CFR paper on open borders?

You had a question: I answered it.

If all you're here to do is come up with new and creative bitches, we can all just talk to democrats.

‘So one crook wins over the others?’

Trump bashers seem to have forgotten what so many have tried to teach us about how DC shakes down businesses.

It’s racketeering. If someone opens a pizza parlor, the local mob boss will drop by. Now what does the pizza parlor owner do? Kick him out? No, he gives the mob guys a free pizza. Does that make the hard working pizza parlor owner a bad man? Not in my book.

Hey, you got any pepperoni? I haven’t had a pizza in nearly a year!

Cruz would be tossed aside for Romney.

I support Trump, but I like Heidi Cruz:

Heidi Cruz Wikipedia Bio

Her parents ... participated also in volunteer missionary dental work. Their two children (Scott and Heidi) accompanied them on numerous missionary trips, including to Nigeria and Kenya.

[1][10][11] [12] Her brother, Scott C. Nelson, today is an orthopedic surgeon and humanitarian.[13][14] Her Finnish-American maternal grandfather served for 22 years as a missionary physician and pastor in the former Belgian Congo.[15]

Cruz announced in fifth grade that she intended to attend Harvard Business School one day, her mother reflecting that she was unsure of how her daughter knew of the school and described her as a “slacker”.[16] Cruz’s political interest developed when she traveled to Washington with her parents at age 8,[16] and grew when she was age 12 and read an issue of Time magazine concerning the 1984 presidential election, while working at a bread stand.[17]

She graduated with a B.A. in Economics and International Relations from Claremont McKenna College in 1994. She was active in Claremont McKenna’s Republican group, but was asked to resign after spying on Bill Clinton’s campaign for reelection.[16] During her time at Claremont McKenna College, she studied abroad at the University of Strasbourg.[18] In 1995, she received a Masters of European Business from Université Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium and in 2000, she graduated with a M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.[1][11][19]

That’s common core polls for you.

Trump gets more Independents and Democrat crossovers.

He’s winning in the Republican Primary.

How does Cruz some how appeal to more people in the General election does not add up.

I think most reasonable people understand this.

Trump loses head to head against both Cruz AND Hillary according to the polls.
Trump is a crass, no class mendacious thug who is alienating conservative support—support he can’t win without as other RINOs like Dole, McCain and Romney found out.

Even the GOP-e knows that Trump will not go down to Hillary alone, he will take with him both GOP majorities in congress as well.
The Democrats secretly desperately want Trump REAL bad..

Funny that’s how we see the Cruzbots.

You let your emotions TRUMP your brain.

The grassroots will know in a day or two that Cruz is hiring Bushes. Then Cruz will crash and burn.

It is true that Trump taps into disgruntled democrats. But these crossover votes aren’t silly games — they are for real.

And what do we pay for it?

Toss a few bones. Family Planning hardly affects the budget. So long as abortion is ended there, I can live with that if it means converting demorats to republicans. They might be new to conservative thinking, but that will change over time UNLESS you tick them off with unfair attacks against Trump.

I’d rather the creeps just creep over to a cliff and fall off.
