The only Republican I wouldn’t invite is Christie. He’d eat the whole damn Turkey!

[Moorings]

The Cruz family would fit right in at my table. I may have a notebook and pen with me so I can take down the quotes. Mr. Cruz is like one of the early American patriots - so many quotables.

Mr. Cruz senior can come too. It will be a lot of fun.

[ctdonath2]

Yes, he’d be very welcome at my table.
And I’d offer him a beer before & after.

[Jim W N]

Oooof. I need a break. Little turkey, few laughs, maybe some football. Relax and enjoy.

And that is also my overall goal. To get us to where we are enjoying our lives more and concerned about the government MUCH less because the feds have been cut by 80%.

[American Constitutionalist]

Yes, I would..

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My God, rock hard Granite Staters from “Live Free or Die” New Hampshire would have the communist bastard at their dinner tables? And choose him over Mr. Liberty, Ted Cruz?

The world has gone insane. Too many commies from Mass. and Vermont infecting NH.

How shallow this writer is. You have a guy who has argued before the supreme court and somehow he would be a dud at your dinner table?

[PGR88]

I would love to have Ted Cruz for dinner. He’s clearly a great intellect and Constitutional Law scholar, as well as interesting speaker. His conservative views are impeccable. He would have a lot of very interesting things to say.

"Ted Cruz is surging in Iowa, but would you invite him to Thanksgiving dinner?"

Yes ... and to the range on Friday.

[ballplayer]

I would too,but not the reporter

[SumProVita]

Such a poll is absolutely silly.

[Mike Darancette]

Would you want him at your table for Thanksgiving dinner?

Yes, and he would enjoy it.

[rockrr]

What stupid crap this is.

I second the sentiment. There isn't a pubbie that I wouldn't sit down with or fear that they would "ruin the meal". I think that they are all decent honorable (more or less) people.

I would even invite the hildebeast - but only to mock her. If Øbongo came on my property I would shoot him.

[NEMDF]

Yes, I would love to have him at Thanksgiving dinner! He seems to be a real gentleman, and would be a great influence for our (mostly conservative) kids (ages 27-35). I would be a little nervous about how my cooking stacks up, but otherwise, happy for him to be our guest.

[BenLurkin]

Would you want him at your table for Thanksgiving dinner?

Heck yeah!

I’d ask him to say grace.

[BenLurkin]

And then fill the house with periodic “turkey farts” during the post dinner activities.

[PROCON]

Sure............JUST AS SOON AS HE SHOWS ME HIS AMERICAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE!! </freepercruzbirthers>

[albie]

Stupid question. Of course I would. As would any conservative. Ask the question of any other candidate and you’d likely have a majority no.

[CodeToad]

Yes, I would, and proudly so!

[Diago]

Cruz would be very welcome, another wing of the family would invite Rand, and some of the younger warriors would invite Trump. The in-laws would have Carson there. It would be a great time that’s for sure.
