The uniparty and the media will do everything possible to eliminate Trump, then they’ll start in on Cruz.

They won’t reat until the nominee is some lukewarm vanilla Washington Insider who plays the game by their rules.

You can see it now, striding down Main Street with a neon sign on its head.

Some guy from an anti trump super pac called us “haters and losers”.

As usual, i’m slightly behind the curve at FR.

Didn’t think they were that desperate and hateful and would rather see a repub candidate get destroyed than win the election.

That’s what the must want to upset such a HUGE repub voting block.

Cruz is a Canadian. Not an American patriot. He doesn’t even have a US birth certificate.

He also lied about having Canadian citizenship.

The oligarchs are using people who are not Americans to destroy the US.

No. They said Patriot, not globalist.

Trump is on my list of viable candidates. But in fairness, his campaign style, statements and gaffs make attack ads easy to produce. The attacks from the GOPe are mild compared to what the Democrats and media will concoct.

And Cruz does?

They will claim he wants to jail gays, turn the White House into a church, and has a “Born in Canada” label under his hairline.

NWO

picks both candidates

one man one vote is a myth for the useful idiots

TRUMP SHOULD HAVE RUN AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE FROM THE BEGINNING
that would have given a true measure of his electability
he pulls votes from the dems and millins of people who suddenly realize they ahve been sold out by both parties

HE COULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH IT

repubs have done nothing to
secure the border
treat vets
reduce the debt
reign in the libtard in the white house
promote jobs and stop the outflow offshore sourcing of jobs
stop the importing of cheap labor on the H1 program
stop granting illegals social security benefits
stop the inflow of illegals
stop the inflow of unvetted muslims
promote national security
confront isis and jiahdis
stop the attacks on christianity
stop the promotion of islam in the usa
monitor jiahdi groups and stop them before they kill people

RYAN CRUZ RUBIO KASICH
all cheap whores bought and paid for
shows what scumbags pols are

oh I know, we are screwed regardless. but it is foolhardy for trump supporters to not realize that whatever they perceive as harsh treatment by the GOPe will be childs play compared to what will be unleashed on him once he is the nominee. the media is enjoying the spectacle and the drama of the primary fight between the republicans. but once he’s it, they will train their sites on him and never let up.

Will they list the massive financial and verbal support for the DNC and liberals his entire life?

.....Breaking News!

Ted Cruz, like Stalin, likes cream in his coffee, therefore Ted Cruz is a communist.

Cruz Supporter here, honest observation....most attack ads help Trump.....Most people not invested in a candidate gravitate to candidates that they feel are unfairly attacked.

The only effective attacks ads against Trump so far are ones that feature his own words being read or replayed.

As a Cruz supporter, I wish they would knock off a lot of these ads because they help him.
