give me a friggin break, had 10 southerners not been in the primary at the time Cruz would have easily swept the south

What 10 southerners? Cruz finished 3rd in Florida, 3rd in S. Carolina, 3rd in Georgia, 3rd in Virginia. He wasn't even close to winning the South.

What are you talking about, isn't that face, that voice that of an Alpha Male Stud whom women flock.

You know, a wife & at least 5 girlfriends at last count.

...anyway, that's what being repeatedly posted.

How can you post this crap! Who do you think you are! Just kidding.

Anyway - while people can argue the merits of whether Trump was robbed by Colorado, from a tactical standpoint, it was a BRILLIANT MOVE by Trump to complain about it - as it stopped his tailspin from the abortion question and put the spotlight (rightly or wrongly) on the efforts of the GOPe to keep him from getting the nomination. Trump turned the polls around and probably gained 5 to 10 points just on this.

It is hard to think of a major presidential candidate, let alone a front-runner, who has ever had so little regard for the unity or interests of his own party or is so clearly preparing to bring it down, like Samson at the temple of Dagon, if it doesn’t bend to his will. Trump is in open conflict with RNC chairman Reince Priebus and doing all he can to delegitimize the GOP in the eyes of his voters.

It is hard to think of a party that has ever had so little regard for its own frontrunner, and has done all it can do to delegitimize him in the eyes of its voters.

Poor Lowry is just such an idiot.

Give Donald Trump credit for planning ahead. He is preparing to be a sore loser.

4 more days ...

Naive LurkLongley asked:
“A lifelong, truly conservative person is running and he’d be more of the same?”

When did Bush’s DC Insider Harvard trained lawyer turn into this alleged “truly conservative?

- In 1998, Cruz served as private counsel for Congressman John Boehner during Boehner’s lawsuit against Congressman Jim McDermott for releasing a tape recording of a Boehner telephone conversation.

- Cruz joined the Bush–Cheney campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising President George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. There he met his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, another policy adviser who works for Goldman Sachs.

- Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings in the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, winning twice in the U.S. Supreme Court.

- After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Globalists are not conservative. Cruz is a Globalist. Therefore hes not a conservative.

Would a conservative help draft Bush’s NAFTA bill?
Would a conservative vote FOR the patriot Act?
Would a Conservative team up with Ryan to push TPP?
would a conservative vote FOR TPA?
would a conservative try to increase H1B visas by 500%?
would a conservative try to double the number of Muslims?
would a conservative side with BLM protestors against police?
would a conservative hand out gift baskets to illegals at the border?
would a conservative lie to his supporters about the fact the GOPe is providing his delegates and he will not win nomination?

WHAT EVERY VOTER NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT TED CRUZ

Yes Cruz would be more of the same obviously.

Sleazy tRump, the professional whiner and perpetual victim. A creep born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a sense of entitlement, who thinks the world owes him a living.

Sleazy tRumpbots simply can't read. That's why tRump got clobbered in Colorado. Sleazy tRump and his zombie army can neither read rules nor understand rules let alone abide by them.

Easy. Ted Cruz a young, dynamic, super, super smart fellow would make on of the smartest presidents ever.
What I couldn't stand for a horrible 4 years is a vulgar, nasty, drooling at the mouth old gizzard spewing Nazi propaganda everyday and hurling nasty abuse at everybody.

Can you imaging having to look at this sleazy creep everyday for 4 years?

With all due respect, Joe, that is so wrong.

We need Donald, an outsider, a brilliant businessman/CEO who knows how to. run things and get things done,a tough pit bull who not ‘owned’ by anyone, is not crippled by PC and has the guts to say what We the People think and attack those responsible for this country being on the brink of disaster.
He has already demonstrated this. No one else has had the guts to do this.

Don’t be afraid of Donald. He will surround himself with equally brilliant people via his cabinet and others and get things done. He understands that he will need this kind of help.

He will keep his promises for he dare not sully the Trump name. He wants to go down in history as one of our greats- and I believe he has the ability and resources to do just that.
He will secure the border, investigate and deport the dangerous ‘immigrants’ Obama has imported and distributed through the U.S- to the point that none of us anywhere are safe anymore.
This is by far the most important thing we need done at the present time.

Our longed for revolution against our corrupt government and politicians is here via Donald.
Finally, We the People have someone in our corner.
He hears and understands our anger and disgust with the GOPe

He is smart enough to know he must be more ‘presidential’ if elected- to clean up his occasional use of ‘potty’ words..
Right now, he is speaking to us in the manner in which most of us speak.

Ted Cruz has proven time and time again that he is owned by the GOPe, and if elected it will be ‘business as usual’. He will not derail their gravy train.

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of having a foreigner as our POTUS. I want an AMERICAN who loves his country in office.

He is our voice.
He is our last chance to pull America back from the brink of total destruction- to make America great again.

What a horrible excuse. If Cruz were strong, he could have won the south with a hundred candidates. Cruz did’t need a majority in the south just a win. Trump had same number and won even the evangelicals. And how do you explain the third place wins? You do know Cruz could win the presidency if the democrats don’t put up a candidate. Your excuse is so weak.

Rich Lowry no less. I guess despite dedicating an entire issue of NR to take Trump down, he realizes that he still can’t do it. The looming Trump wins in NY on Tuesday and a string of victories on April 26 will send Lowry and his self-appointed guardians of conservatism into a deep funk. He is the real whiner.

The biggest negative of Cruz is his inability to get voters to vote for him. Solve that problem then maybe I could feel like he could win in November.
