Cruz ‘character’:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote.
2. Claiming Carson quit, ‘vote for me’
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video ‘vote for me’ with his preacher/father stomping for him.
4. ‘Brilliant’ lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize and repeat?

Ya just gotta love them thar “conservative principles”.

I still remember how the “conservatively principled” GOP-led Congress stood up to Obama and stopped his agenda by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama’s regulations and Executive Orders.

Given all of these accomplishments by the “conservatively principled” opposition party, it’s no wonder that the only thing the GOP rank-and-file care about is getting some more of them elected.

The day of your zot will be a minor holiday in more than one household.

You might even spin in you wheelchair alone in your house of cats.

Your boy is a taker

He takes men’s wives, he takes peoples property, and he takes peoples livelihoods.

He is thief, protected by the politicians and judges he has purchased. A conman engaged in the biggest con of his life.

I’d prefer the airlines running on time, but at least it’s a start.

Be careful what you wish for. Arrived at a gate for United, after a delayed flight. Another 100 pax from a connecting airline also arrived at the gate, though also late. The airplane CAPT ordered the door closed for an "on time departure" with an empty plane while a planeload of pax were stranded and needing to be reticketed for another flight.

Of course the appropriate measure is passengers to destination on time, not airplane to destination on time. But all the others are just as bad.

BTW, it’s totally heartwarming how the uber-”progressive” New Yorker magazine is so concerned about “conservative principles” and who supposedly has them and who supposedly doesn’t. I’ve never seen the New Yorker this concerned about “conservative principles” before. Ever.

Yea, I’m sensing in a lot of people claiming to be Cruz supporters (some like are Cruz supporters) that they would MUCH PREFER to “lose on principal” than to get a guy in there that will SEAL THE BORDER and CLEAR OUT THE ILLEGALS, but also partially fund Planned Parenthood.

Pretty hopeless for us, if that’s the case - but I suspect in November people will come to their senses.

We just have some fun. He considers anyone that won’t let judges run the country into the ground to be a Nazi, I don’t.

Read that then tell me how conservative Cruz is.

Then consider that his ads and his PACs tell you how religious he really is.

Trump has created 34,000 jobs. Cruz runs his mouth and sells out his country.

Cruz has already defeated Trump on conservative principals. The problem is Trump has defeated Cruz on emotions. In this election so far emotions have trumped conservatism.
