I love what Trump is doing, but Cruz is a Constitutional expert. Trump is clearly not.

In all fairness Trump hires experts on everything, he doesn't need to know everything just how to recognize the right thing.

Ted said his staff tried to warn him that Mitch was lying to him. He ignored their advice and trusted Mitch.

Thanks for posting a conservative site link to the entire speech. Always a plus when we can support these guys!

Sent in another donation to TedCruz.org using 2ndDivVets link on his profile page!

(Wondering where he is, seems to be missing in action ... Hmmm)

Go Ted Go

I like the guy, I do, but I don’t think he is situated in real terms or in temperament to be the POTUS.

Next I hope he realizes he was lied to about the benefits of H-1B by the C-suites' bought-and-paid-for 'think tanks.'

Anytime anyone fails to READ a document then lays blame on someone else, well, that just means they are incompetent and cannot be trusted to represent me. I read everything before signing. Only a moron doesn’t, and we don’t need any more morons representing us.

Let me ask you something honestly, did the former Paul supporters switch over to Ted Cruz? And if so, are they all libertarians??

He might make a good VP for Donald. Cruz could learn something from the Donald.

Seems he already has with his actions today. I have been waiting for some one to figure out why Trump is dominating the polls.

As a junior Senator, you kind of have to give the party leader a chance - until you get stabbed in the back.

Two words, Tom Cotton.

"he has accomplished zip as a political leader"

He's exposing the the freakin GOPe for being the bunch of treacherous, selfish,
NOT-servants-of-the-people
they really are.

That's doing more single-handedly than ANY of the others have done.

If you’re a member of the Republican Establishment, you lie. It’s what you do.

Guts are good. Guts combined with brains, savvy, and discernment are even better. And listening to the people you pay to give you advice on what is good for this country is the best.

Trump endorsed McConnell for "speaker" of the senate.

which amused Alison "Half His Age" Grimes, whom some morons supported over McConnell.

I’ve never been shown a pile of horses-—t, have people that I pay to evaluate things confirm that it is horses-—t and then follow along with the ONE guy that tells me the horses-—t is really poupouri and its OK to take a big sniff of it. Maybe I did when I was 5, but I don’t remember it if it happened.
