I would have bet the farm I never would've said this a few months ago but I have more respect for Huckabee and Santorum than I do for Cruz.

But I still don't want any of them near the White House.

The Party opted away from the more conservative choices in 2008 and 2012 in order to nominate more (ahem) moderate choices in John McCain and Mitt Romney so that they could be elected. So, how did that work out for us?

Well, we’ve learned our lesson and won’t do that again.

Oh, wait....

Cruz should probably spend some time with his wife and kids.

Cruz isn’t a conservative, he is a globalist.

I have read many articles which say that. I can not believe he was once my 2nd choice after Trump. People are being hoodwinked about him.

Agreed, I drank the Cruz Kool Aid for several months it was the Iowa caucus shenanigans that made me think twice about him. And now, with him blaming Trump for the Chicago protest debacle, well that is the final straw. He is a brilliant man and it is very sad to see him throw that away for his ambition to be president.

I regret donating to his campaign, but early on, I was all in for Senator Cruz. It was “Cruz or Lose” for me.

I pray for Donald Trump’s solid, sweeping WIN against the many forces of evil!

I learned many years ago when I first started doing genealogy research not to trust everything. That was especially true when I found sites which had kids born before the parents. I know some were just typed mistakes. Some were centuries off. I usually ended up on census site and sometimes mistakes were found on them. Years ago when the TX governor ran, I was all for him until I did my own research on what he did or said in the past. I quickly changed my mind. Sure, Trump has made mistakes but no one is perfect. He was not a politician, either. What is important is his views today not decades ago. Every one can change and grow up. I am not the same person I was decades ago. I hope I have matured but my family/friends might not believe that. Some nieces told me I would never grow old. There is no fun in that. God bless.

Cruz get a show on FOX and be a quick exit in the 2024 primaries as Trump is leaving office.

Cruz is no Santorum. Santorum is a conservative. Cruz is an opportunist.

No, they’re not. I have had 4 in my family and not a one was a politician. Three had nothing to do with them but the other one goes to hear them to get updates on certain security issues but has no other contact with them. If anyone had told them they had to deal with politicians they would have laughed in your face. I know others but have no idea about their dealings with politicians. Some may be but not all.

Should Trump pull off big wins on super Tuesday Cruz will still have a numerical chance but the states that are coming up to vote do not bode well for him. NY NJ PA among others.
