The MSM is against all that aren't with them!

[JEDI4S]

Iowa has not mattered in a while.

President Richard Sanatorium anyone?

:-) Love corn though. Just ..not in my gas tank...thanks.

[Helicondelta]

Cruz. Is. A. Coward.

[V_TWIN]

“the anti Christ who just escaped from an insane asylum”

Thanks for that......I’ll be putting it in the hip pocket for future use if you don’t mind.

[LibsRJerks]

Yeah, well, we shall see.

It’s his to lose. If he’s that big of a schmuck ...then the hell with him.

The country will then elect Hillary and implode in short order.

Americans will then step in and rebuild ...as we always have.

But THAT whole process will be very painful, very ugly, and very horrifying to experience and to watch happen.

Is Trump really that much of a demon to do that? I just can’t imagine that ... I mean ...I’m with you in a way ...I’m waiting ...and I can be patient. But I’m waiting.

I hope for the good of this country, that Trump will pull it off.

[GeronL]

Trump is pro-establishment (Dem establishment)
Trump is a progressive
Trump favors big government

None of this is supportable.

[Guenevere]

So am I..

..but oh my, what a word picture :)

[Jane Long]

You come back, only to post your old, worn out Trump smears??

LOLOL.

[Jane Long]

[Osage Orange]

I kind of think....no matter who is elected..we are in for a big re-set button.

Who knows how that will play....

I think DT is a Trojan horse. I don't trust him. Never have.

We shall see...what we shall see.................

[CatherineofAragon]

'Cruz. Is. A. Coward."

LOL

[Jane Long]

You. Are. A. TrumpTroll.

[Jane Long]

LOL!! I’ll come get you....with my super-secret tape recording :)

[C. Edmund Wright]

Your opinion has been wrong every step of the way, so far. What makes you think you are right this time?

....you are wrong...my opinion and predictions are playing out almost perfectly. I have been right on Trump since April 2011 - the good and the bad - showing a track record of being way ahead of, well, almost everyone. No brag, just fact....

[C. Edmund Wright]

The comments about ethanol will hurt Cruz in Iowa and will have no impact anywhere else.

Let's see...my instincts, those of Rush and Levin, or your mastubatory fantasy. I'm good where I am. You'll see.

[C. Edmund Wright]

put your money where your mouth is, or politely have a big mug of you know what.....

[bray]

The Establishmedia has a complete disconnect.

Merry Christmas

The "maniac" label uttered by Trump will stick to Cruz like "low-energy" stuck to Jeb.

Good point.

Cruz is using the patented Democrat "Heart of Gold" strategy---sucking up to anything that moves, and NEVER, EVER uttering a discouraging word.

Cruz said behind closed doors that his sucking up to Trump had been calculated....to get votes. Even when Donald piled on Cruz, Cruz tweeted that Donald was his "friend."

Pure Democrat crapola....right out of the Democrat Political Playbook.

===================================

Now, the conventional wisdom is that Cruz has evangelicals in his back pocket......Not necessarily true.

An evangelical pastor on BOR said his congregation rose en masse to applaud Donald's remark about "bombing the crap out of Isis." Later, another 200,000 evangelicals downloaded the pastor's remarks.

Course, smart*** Cruz has a habit of filching Donald's campaign points.

Trump's team had to swat down Cruz when the copycat kept saying HE was going to make America great again. Cruz also talked about his "building a wall" on the southern border.

So if you hear Cruz parrot "bombing the crap out of ISIS" you'll know where he borrowed it.

[TomGuy]

I think DT is a Trojan horse.

Can he be any worse than the dozens of Trojan horse Republicans who were elected under the guise of being conservatives and submitted to neutering as soon as they crossed the Potomac?

What other candidate is running on a 'make America great again' theme? Bush is running on 'I can fix it'. Haven't heard themes from most of the others. Sanders is running on 'make everything free'. Clinton is running on 'I can give you even more free stuff than Bernie can'.

Trump seems to be the last best hope. If Hillary wins, the great experiement is over and Obama-Clinton fundamental change becomes cemented. Bush and Rubio are not much better as they have already sold out to amnesty. Even Cruz has some questionable positions on some policies and the immigration problem. He supposedly is on video telling backers/donors that he is/will be more moderate, if elected.

[wny]

Except for his immigration and Muslim comments, he’s indistinguishable from your typical democrat.
