Yeah Cruz is smart.
The thing that is pi$$ing me off is that the ignorant Trump thumpers now have a new target in Fox News that they can use to divert the fact that Trump still isn’t a conservative.
And the whole argument that “We need Trump to take out Bush/GOPe” was totally and completely destroyed last night. Jeb Bush crashed and burned so poorly in last night’s debate that it’s obvious now he won’t be the nominee and the GOPe will have to start looking elsewhere soon. Bush is a non-factor now. So what is the point of continuing to prop up this conservative fraud named Trump? Had Trump not been on the stage, Bush would have still crashed and burned with those terrible responses, only Cruz, Walker, Carson, and even Huckabee would be getting even more praise for their performance.
The online votes reminds me of the Ron Paul lunatics that skewed every 08/12 poll. The only difference this time is there more people with them that just wanted to get back at Fox for the obvious hit job on Trump.
I’d love to see Fox try to pull that crap with Cruz. You know they’re much more afraid of Cruz because he’ll eat them up if they try to use those same tactics they used on Trump, which is why Fox positioned their questions in the debate for both Cruz (and Carson also) where (h)uuuuge amounts of time passed before they were heard from (Cruz got 2 quick questions in the 1st hour and wasn’t heard from again until the end, while Carson was barely heard from until the 2nd hour).
Then tonight on the “Kelly File” panel in the studio, for 45 minutes, every candidate was mentioned and talked about (except Cruz). Finally at almost the end, Megyn asked “Who here likes Ted Cruz”, nearly the entire panel’s hands went up, but before she could ask a follow-up, the guy at the bottom hijacked the last amount of time for Kasich.
Fox clearly had an agenda. Ted Cruz will still succeed because he’s that gifted.
I hope this Trump-mania has finally died down and voters start returning to real conservatives who showed last night they can handle Jebbers and the GOPe fine with one hand behind their back. That’s how bad Jebbers sucks.
Trump knows exactly he is doing, winning!
He knows most Americans hate the corrupted media.
He knows most Americans hate the bought and paid for politicians who just talk and talk and talk, too afraid to take on the establishment power.
He knows most Americans hate both corrupted political parties.
He knows most Americans hate the big political donors who own Washington and the MSM, and control most of the wealth of the nation through corrupt laws.
Trump is going up against all that like a explosive freight train, and Americans love him for.
Then we have those who continue to try and sell...”let’s be civil and just get along” while the American people’s liberty, Constitutional rights, prosperity and God given morality are destroyed. We need a hundred Donald Trumps in the Republican Party, but we only have one willing to pay the price to give us back our country. Go Donald Go!!
I’m afraid we’re stuck with him. If he doesn’t win GOP nomination, he won’t run third party.
He will endorse Hillary. And it’s over.
He’s already stated he supports politicians he can buy off. And he’s already bought her off once.

CNN polls liberal biased push poll
ditto for PPP, university polls . all fake give me a break
FOX ? lol they outed themselves also as liberal/marxists
Maybe he should buy a cable channel like Zero did and run “infomercials” 24/7.
While I’m not totally sold on Trump, he is a breath of fresh air in some respects. I do wish, however, that he would stop with all the tweeting crap and name calling of everyone who opposes him. I like that he swings back when people attack him, but, I don’t like the name calling. It’s childish, spoiled and unbecoming to a man running for the office of President of the U.S. He can hit at both parties, the corruption in D.C. and the media all he wants, but, I wish he would leave the twittering and name calling alone. He needs to be studying policies and get out there on the campaign trail. He needs to lose vocabulary words such as loser, stupid, and other words that are derogatory to others. There is enough bullying and name calling in this world to last everyone a lifetime. Besides, this teaches young people that it’s okay to call other people names. He needs to be more of a role model in that aspect. He has a young son growing up and I hope he doesn’t pick up on his dad’s bad habits of name calling.
She did a superlative job of destroying herself.
maybe that’s what he meant.

Trump is the only one not owned by big daddy donors
What have the others done? nothing but voted for obama trade which is a trojan horse for massive 3rd world immigration. Ditto corker bill, highway bill, horrible bills
Walker is the only one who has done anything conservative. But he’s still a politician so can we trust him?
So I’m going with Trump/Walker . the others all sounded conservative at the debate. just words . I’ve seen no actions to confirm those words
I watched the debate twice. I’m an Arizona conservative whose never voted for McCain in a primary, and who supported Russell Pearce, the author of Arizona’s SB270 through his recall, at great political cost to myself. I still support his agenda against ILLEGAL immigration, and still laud Pearce’s courage.
I’ve watched Illegal Immigration be used by progressives to destroy the rule of law in this land, which is the foundation of the republic that America used to be. The cancer of lawlessness has metastasized and spread such that it is slowly killing America’s ability to recover our constitutional basis. The competition of illegal interests has driven out law-abiding and principled business in so many areas of our economy.
Enter johnny-come-lately “the Donald” Trump. His wedge issue, which has propelled him as a “conservative” seeker of the Presidency, has been his critique of the lawlessness and calamities surrounding illegal immigration. Do we know what his view on illegal Immigration was 2 years ago, or 4 years ago. Have his businesses benefitted from illegal immigration at any time? Has he spent money on politicians who supported increasingly lax enforcement on a national scale? Has he sided with the US Chamber of Commerce and international business interests, who don’t seem to care for US border enforcement?
If he wins the nomination and becomes the GOP’s candidate for President, can we really trust his recently assumed positions on so many social issues. Can we trust his position on illegal immigration to continue if he is elected? We only get one shot and can’t redo what the primary election in Feb and March of 2016 will create.
The most lasting impact of a President are his choices for the Supreme Court. If elected, who will Trump pick? What will be his legislative agenda? Will he try to bypass Congress like Obama has, because he he’s used to making command decisions and ego drives his ethics? Will he move to consolidate processes the Obama has used to become an imperial President?
As an aside, if facial expressions and demeanor are any indication of what one is thinking or how one will process relationships with others or an agenda, you might want to compare the facial expressions of Mussolini with those of Trump as they posture before crowds.
I don’t know much about Trump right now, but before I drink any Trump Kool-Aid, or listen to the siren songs of “conservative” Trump supporters, who are likely more anti-establishment (not an unjustified position) than really pro-Trump, I will try to find out a whole lot more about him, where he’s put his money in the past, and who he will select as leaders in his government. By the way, there are some 100K people who will eventually be tapped to become part of a Trump administration as high level administrators and managers. Eventually some million people will be become part of the Trump administration. As President, by law, by practice and by sheer inertia within the bureaucracy, Trump will not be able to involve himself in the negotiations he claims will be his role. And he will have to divest himself of control of his current financial “empire”. Is he enough of a public servant to do so righteously (no tricks, no slight of hand)? Are his core values, which will drive his administration, strong enough to benevolently provide for the people, as Reagan did?
Let’s all take a deep breath, stand back and honestly answer these questions before we choose Trump over all the other really good and trustworthy conservatives now running. To my mind, those who pass as consistent conservatives, are Cruz, Walker, Kasich (he was a great congressman in addition to being a good governor), maybe Huckabee, maybe Fiorina, and less so Rubio, (I have yet to forgive him for siding with Flake and McCain as part of the gang of eight. Thank heaven their “comprehensive immigration” package didn’t pass the House.) All those I’ve mentioned have been significantly tested regarding their principles and have a passed the test as acceptably conservative. What tests have Trump passed to gain our Trust and support?

What have the other politicians done as a Senator or Governor . I’m talking legislation. What ? Obama trade? yes they did that but that’s the worst thing ever and not conservative not pro America as it is a trojan horse for more immigration. What have they done ? Can you anti trumps Answer?
I never got an answer . all i get is attacks on me. What that’s not logical to demand results ,actions, not just speeches?Anyone can say words and they all did at the debate sounding so conservative.
Glenn Beck and his moronic giggling buddies are trying to end Trump.
Too bad. Trump is a breath of fresh air.
