with his prospects enhanced, rather than retarded

That is not correct, by the way. Cruz kept talking about Trump's "ceiling", when it was Cruz who had the ceiling all along.

Cruz' ceiling is 33%, the number that will ever tolerate a purely evangelical candidate, much less a pentecostal one, in this country. I say that as a person who is both, so I'm not a sniper about it. It's just that I have realized that, since we've never had an evangelical president yet (much less a pentecostal), in the present socio-political-cultural context, the likelihood is becoming even less, not more, going forward.

Cruz is a fraud in every meaning of the term. He is in no way eligible nor qualified to be president. He is a GLOBALIST
UNMASKED. What is wrong with you people?

Why is Cruz not suing The Enquirer for their erroneous linking of his dad to Oswald? Are we to think, therefore, it is not erroneous?

If it were my dad, I would be furious and seek legal action.

Good. I was waiting to see if his eligibility would be brought up, and if not, I was going to. Cruz needs to determine what his citizenship status is, and where his citizenship status is.

Not speaking to you directly, K. However, I don’t think you could possibly be more anti-Cruzer than me. Check my history.

“You people” refers to all the people posting on this thread about how good Cruz will be in the future. He will never be eligible!

Hope that clarifies.

All I hear from Cruz and his supporters is gloom, doom, and despair. Why not look at the glass half full rather than half empty and help fill the glass?

IMHO Ted just got wound too tight during the election process. He needs to take some time off, unwind and let his vision clear. I honestly think he was on the verge of going off the deep end.

So you think Ted is a “moderate”? Nobody else does.

Actually, I'm aware of your history as an anti-Cruzer.

I'm definitely MORE anti-Cruzer than you. Not by much. :)

Maybe Cruz will grow up.

Nobody? You think Cruz isn’t a moderate compared to Trump?

As a former resident of the Great State of Wisconsin, I had a lot of respect for Walker until he ran for Pres. I really did not like his campaign suspension speech where he took a number of swipes at Trump...Walker was a good governor, but during the campaign, news of his association with and support from the cheap labor express/crony chamber of commerce bunch tainted him to many of us who are concerned about immigration and declining wages.

I remember right after Walker’s suspension speech Cruz asked his supporters to send money to Scott Walker to retire his campaign debt...Guess not too many followed up...

I wouldn’t bet on it. His ego is all he has between the ears. Cruz voted against American Sovereignty. There is no comeback from there IMO.

Trump won in spite of everybody and every thing coming against him. He didn't crumble under adversity. Trump proved he has the mettle to take down Hildabeast. Cruz made more than a few mistakes. Aligning with crazy man Glenn Beck is just one of them.

I don't think a decade or two in the Senate will make Cruz better as a candidate. More likely it will just leave him further out of touch with your average citizen. Cruz tried to win the game by gaming rather than by standing for something. Yes, he claimed to be the world's best "conservative." But what does it mean for someone to be so doctrinaire? Bill Cristal considers himself a world class conservative and yet he's willing to deny millions of voters the right to choose their candidate.

I used to like Cruz but I prefer Trump partly because he doesn't crave the power. He literally would rather be doing something else but can't stand to see the country run into the ground by nincompoops. The people who say Trump's not qualified are nuts. First time out of the box he smoked six governors and 5 senators. People say he's not conservative but I disagree. It's important to note that pure doctrinaire conservatism doesn't necessarily appeal to a majority of Americans. Someone who's pragmatic and has common sense is more important than slavish allegiance to a political creed. Trump can appeal to a cross section of voters large enough to win.

I'm confident Trump will make an awesome president because he's a natural leader and fearless. Finally we all have to realize the win isn't yet in the bag. There's so much at stake hidden players who stand to lose their golden goose aren't going to surrender easily. Americans need to stay sharp and make sure our candidate takes it into the end-zone because you can be sure there are forces out there who will stop at nothing to defeat him and so between now and November is the most dangerous time for our country. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's a lot of work to do.

I think that Ted Cruz is presidential material.

Cruz is a pathological liar who repeats leftist talking points then claims to be the "true conservative" as he gets rejected by the voters.
