Behold the man!
And now you defend hillarhoids against those who intentionally misspell her name! Wowzers.
It's not about him, it's not about Cruz, it's not about Trump. It's about saving our country from disaster, which is what a Trump presidency would be.
Please point out where I did any such thing.
Don't know if he'll be able to save the country from all Obaama has done, with both parties, *and* the press, against him 24x7.
So you are the one guy voting for Rubio in the FR caucus?
I think both men are very smart.
I actually disagree - I honestly believe Trump is something of an imbecile, except for his talent for self-promotion. Have you seen all the times he's stopped in a speech when he's used a very mundane word and asked if the audience knew the word? "Shrill" is an example. He has the vocabulary of a seven-year-old.
I know that Cruz is brilliant and that he's likely one of our nation's best legal scholars and even Alan Dershowitz shares that opinion.
Agreed. I initially supported Cruz for this reason, and would still love to see him as the nominee, but I no longer think he has a chance (I could be wrong).
BUT, a POTUS must possess and exercise superb judgment, of people and of situations. Cruz fails miserably in this department.
This is where you really lose me - I think Trump has, by far, the worse judgment of any candidate to run on the Republican side in my lifetime; I'm not even sure his judgment is better than Hillary's (and lest anyone think I'm a closeted Hillary supporter, I think she should be in prison).
BUT, a POTUS must possess and exercise superb judgment, of people and of situations. Cruz fails miserably in this department.
Just yesterday, he finally got around to "asking for the resignation" of that horrid man who's caused him so much trouble (Rick Tyler) and yet, he continues to permit Glenn Beck to rant and rave, as though Beck is actually helping and NOT harming him. I fear that Cruz won't be able or won't want to dump Beck from campaigning with him in Texas!
These are valid points about Cruz. But like every other argument for Trump that I hear, it's all about how bad everyone else is, and ignores Trump's attributes completely. Yes, Cruz is flawed. So is Rubio. But am I to just assume, without supporting evidence, that Trump is somehow less flawed than them? Trump, who is on his third marriage and driven his businesses into four bankruptcies? Trump, who would be wealthier today than he is if he had just invested his inheritance into S&P 500 index funds? Trump, who brags in his autobiography about sleeping with a wide assortment of married women? That's the Donald Trump whose "judgment" is superior to Cruz, who is guilty of hiring a bad communications director and letting Glenn Beck talk too much?
Trump, who said four days ago that he "likes" the Obamacare mandate, who supports (even now) government-funded universal healthcare? Trump, who said four days ago that Planned Parenthood does wonderful things and should continue to get government funding?
These are not years-old heresies by Trump (although there are an abundance of those). These are current things Trump has said within the past week.
Beyond that, when asked if Trump will stick to the things he's saying in his campaign (i.e. "we're gonna build the wall"), he says he's very able to change very quickly, and some things he just has to say because he's in a primary.
Please, please explain to me how distaste with Cruz leads to supporting *that*.
Haha I haven't voted in it. Until a week ago I would have voted for Cruz.
So now opposing the Obamacare mandate, opposing government-funded universal health care, opposing Planned Parenthood funding, opposing imminent domain for private developers, opposing tax increases, and opposing unrepentant adulterers makes one a member of the GOP-e? And supporting those things makes you what? A "conservative"? Not by any definition I recognize.
Don't know if he'll be able to save the country from all Obaama has done, with both parties, *and* the press, against him 24x7.
He'll be worse, but with a Republican label so opposing him will be more complicated.
Your replies merely feed the Richard cranium.
Anyone who thinks the Rube would make a great president has not just a loose screw, but a whole hardware store of them.
I think Rubio gets one vote on the caucus. If its not you, it means there are 2 Rubio supporters in FR.
So you think all your earnest posting is going to make it what? 3? 4?
How many will forget Gang of Eight?
How many will overlook his robotic repetitions?
How many will feel comfortable with his dripping sweat when the questions get a little tough?
How many look forward to him actually winning one of these contests, even one?
And where is that? Where is his first win going to be?

I'm not here to campaign. I'm just hoping to talk a bit of sanity back into FR. And yes, it'll probably fail. Congratulations.
How many will forget Gang of Eight?
They forgot "Planned Parenthood does wonderful things" in about 30 seconds. They forgot "I like the [Obamacare] mandate" just as fast.
How many will overlook his robotic repetitions?
Are the repetitions worse than Trump insulting American prisoners of war?
How many will feel comfortable with his dripping sweat when the questions get a little tough?
Sweating is clearly no worse, and no more serious, than Trump's ridiculous hair or tiny, stubby fingers.
How many look forward to him actually winning one of these contests, even one?
Ah, yes, the appeal to polling. Vote for Trump because he's fooled everyone else. Pass.
And where is that? Where is his first win going to be?
I don't know, although he does lead polling in a few states currently. I just know that I cannot support Trump, and I believe he is fooling a great many people.
Well I see Trump is not fooling you. You are being fooled by someone much closer to home.
You say you quit Cruz because he cant win and when I mention Rubio has NEVER won and ask WHERE his first win will be, you accuse me of falling back on polling.
So who is fooling you? Could it be you, fooling yourself? Telling yourself you are so much smarter than the rest of us when, guess what?
Hint: you are not.
