Reading some of the categories in the CBS poll in Iowa, 63% say Cruz is electable, 41% say Trump is electable. In several polls, Cruz does better against Hillary than Trump does.

I’m just praying Trump and Cruz squeeze out Rubio.

Rubio’s non-vote on the budget might have killed his chances.

I can't remember Cruz mentioning a wall being built?

Then your memory is faulty. It's been in Cruz' published immigration plan for over a month.

Cruz is a real conservative, he’s saying he will build a wall, and he has a legislative and personal history of doing conservative things. Trump says he’ll build a wall and has no legislative history* and a personal history that stinks.

*You could say Trump does have a legislative history if you count the politicians he’s praised and the political leanings of celebrities he praises.

The senate is no place for a conservative, as Cruz has demonstrated.

For as long as I’ve listened to him, his position has been that he would secure the border. He explains that existing federal law mandates 750 miles of double fencing on the border, of which only 30 miles has been erected. He said he would complete the entire 750 miles and secure the border.

If the word “wall” resonates more with the public- or is more simply understood- why shouldn’t he use it? Double fence or wall— it doesn’t alter the underlying purpose.

Walls are permanent, fences don’t work. Go Trump!

The citation is bogus. For the law to apply a prosecutor would have prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there had been a quid pro quo of Cruz making a promise of the appointment to Sessions in return for his political support.

Cruz supporters have heard all this before. It really doesn’t matter to them. They’re not here to get ideas on who to vote for. They’re here to promote Trump, screw the truth.

But he did “Warren Buffett is a terrific guy and a very common-sense person. I mean, Warren is a very common-sense person. That’s how he makes the money: with common sense — smart, but common sense. You take some of these great minds that we have, nobody can beat us.”

If you are comparing Trump to West, you are loony.

Cruz is a good man. No doubt a great conservative.

But if one truly wants to change DC, Trump is the only option.
If can even be changed. And I’m not so sure it can.
