Why sugar coat it? I support registering all Muslims in the US. It would be the beginning of getting all them all out of here. They have declared war on America. An enemy within our borders is considered seditious, a saboteur or a spy. Why keep them? Islam is after all an ideology, not a race.

"Exactly. Cruz has been playing a long-game strategy, and we’re about to see it unfold."

I believe you're exactly right.

"I suspect that many who are paying slight attention to the race aren't yet aware of the organization and grassroot support Cruz has built. Although the clandestine nature helps it grow strong and develop the structure necessary to be effective, it's easily missed by those who get their news from the MSM, YouTube, etc."

Good point.

Talk about arrogance. So, Cruz will get Trump supporters huh? I used to think I would vote for Cruz if Trump didn’t get the nomination, but now I think I will sit out 2016 if he doesn’t. I can’t stand that Cruz thinks he is the smartest man in the room or the world for that matter. He goes to the Senate and tries to tell the others what they should or shouldn’t do - as a junior Senator. Of course, they are going to resent him. He can hold true to his principles, and should, but when you have a wet-behind-the ears junior Senator trying to be the expert on everything - it causes resentment. Sure, the majority of them are RINOs, but, Cruz thinks he is the expert on everything.

According to Real Clear Politics average, Cruz is in third place, 6 points ahead of Rubio and less than 2 points behind Carson. Expect Carson’s numbers to come down. He is still benefiting from earlier polls when he was higher.

I think Cruz will eventually be taking himself out...without any help from Trump....people in the Senate didn't like him and some still don't with him going in there and telling some of them what they are or aren't going to do....

Why did GWB come out last month and say what he said about Cruz? Has anyone figured that one out yet?

I think it's well pointed that Trump is going to be the nominee and will go on to beat down, Hillary, if obuma doesn't throw her under the bus before then, or Sanders, who would want a ‘commie’ in the White House and the horrible job the ‘muslim’ has done...

GO TRUMP GO!!!

Yes, it was GWB who called him an opportunist. Now, I don’t know why he said that except that he worked in the Bush Administration, and possibly, knows him better than we do.

"Teaching the constitution at age 14? Wasn’t he a Canadian citizen? I think you mean Mark Levin. Wow, some of you think Cruz walks on water. Peter tried that too."

No, sweetie, she doesn't mean Mark Levin.

You should read his book and educate yourself about a true conservative, rather than throwing insults, as is your usual schtick .

As a teenager, Cruz was involved with a student group that traveled all over Texas, giving lectures on the Constitution. But the time he graduated, he had quite a lot of them under his belt.

Has Trump ever mentioned the Constitution?

Exactly. My family and everyone we know are voting for Trump. We’re not even considering Cruz. I know people say they don’t trust Trump, but we don’t trust Cruz on illegal immigration. Can’t see him deporting the illegals that are already here on any large-scale. We actually think he would be more of a compromiser than Trump. He said himself that his greatest weakness is trusting people too much. We don’t need that in the White House right now, Christian or not.

“Last week, Cruz split with Trump after the real estate mogul openly mulled a national registry for American Muslims.

....

“And on immigration, Cruz told the Associated Press earlier this month that ‘tone matters’ and that ‘there some in the Republican Party whose rhetoric is unhelpful with regard to immigration’.”

Not helpful, Cruz. Trump was right on both occasions.

There is a term for your comment - delusional. So, Trump is spending millions of his own dollars so Cruz can win? Gee, what a generous guy. He flies all over America on his own dime, gives chopper rides to kids, holds rallies with thousands and thousands of people, and then - voila - he steps out and hands it to Cruz on a sliver platter. What is wrong with you? Trump is too financially literate to dos uch a stupid thing.

Why, yes, Mrs. Cravettes, he has. Trump was right on the 14th Amendment, and Cruz was wrong. SO, why don’t you educate yourself, and no, I won’t buy his book. You sure are one nosy woman, aren’t you? Oh yes, Trump has also talked about the 1st, 2nd, and 10th Amendments as well. As I said - educate yourself before you point a busybody finger at anyone else.

Trump did NOT call for a registry of US citizens. Cruz is mouthing the willful misinformation of the MSM. If anyone should know better than to do that, it should be Cruz. Big mistake. Yuugge.....mistake.

I was a Ted Cruz man from day one, but have concluded he is unelectable, and now I am behind Trump. I am also disturbed By his wife’s role in the planning of a North American Union and common north American currency.

There you go....I'm so glad your taking Trump over Cruz...and does anyone know if Cruz is still for the H1B bill? Has he backtracked on that yet?

Before Trump announced I thought the same on Cruz until I started researching him, then when I found that about his wife and Goldman Sachs and then when Trump announced, that's where my 100% support lays....

GO TRUMP GO!!!

The left is just salivating. Wow! Cruz just “attacked” Trump by saying that Trump will not be president.
