You got it GGG!

Trump is the establishment candidate, and a solid majority are well aware of it.

If he were not the establishments guy, the MSM would have ignored him out of existence. Instead they kept him unavoidably in view with their staged squabbles and drama.

They really hate strict Constitutionalists. Which is why I hope a President will put him on the Supreme Court.

I think it is a about time for a remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington""""".....

For many many years now, most Freepers have touted that we want another MR SMITH, will there ever be one FOR US.

Well he has arrived in TED CRUZ.....and look at the rejections...

Ted Cruz stood up to the Senate and he is crucified for that what we had hoped someone would do..? I don't understand the thinking.

Remember the "YOU LIE" statement from Rep. Wilson, my gosh you could almost feel the cheering going on from ones computer, it was on fire with hoorahs for him saying what we were thinking. Good on him we said and sent MUCH $$$$ to him......

BUT....with Ted Cruz...not so much....what a double dealing shame.

They feel inferior because they are inferior.

The basis of most inferiority complexes is real inferiority.

Cruz has never flaunted anything; he has just performed in true excellence dependably.

That is why dingos like you and McCain despise him.

“An awful lot of us really didn’t like to be targeted as corrupt, establishment bought by the lobby establishment,” [Dan] Coats added.


The truth hurts, Danny.

?Just goes to show which candidate the corrupt GOPe fears most. There is a reason for that, it is because TED CRUZ truly threatens their hold on power.

Maybe they just don't like the guy.

Or maybe they think he can't win.

He has been in the senate three years fulfilling the oath he took, and representing the American people.

Your kind of fools don’t take lightly to that kind of behavior.

That is why he will be our next president.

How did McCains and Romneys tailwind work out for Senate Republicans? McCain gave us a veto proof Democrat Senate that was the worst 2 years in Congressional history.

Someone needs to tell those leftist fools posing as Republican senators something. They are worthless as tits on a bull as so-called conservatives and a party of opposition. I think the Vichy (R’s) just didn’t like being told man up by a newcomer who quite correctly called them out.

Senator Burr denies that he said any such thing.

Head fake, the GOPe is playing a chess game to protect their own....

They finally figured out the base is pissed off enough to THINK that who ever they endorse they think we'll turn against.

Today it's Trump, if they can destroy him, tomorrow it will be Cruz.....the ultimate goal is Bush or Rubio.

Come on people, wake up.

Sad to see you go over to the dark side.

Obviously the establishment deeply fear Cruz, and know Trump is a non-event to their agenda.

> If this is true, Cruz will never have the votes to be appointed to the
Supreme Court, much less be President.

Yep, it’s kind of hard seeing him getting enough votes in the Senate to be confirmed for that. I’d bet that he would get rejected for a cabinet position. For Cruz, it’s become conquer or die - which means he’d have to go into the private sector and make a fortune and then maybe try again in 10 years..

No dark side here, I'm smart enough to see political head fakes when they are being played.

Who do you think is next and what might their goals be after the leading candidate is destroyed...could it be Cruz?

The only reason they're not pulling this stunt against him is because he isn't in the lead.

They are protecting their own, their goal is Rubio or Jeb.

Just the way I see it at this time.

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, told supporters at a campaign fundraiser for his own re-election that he would vote for liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders for president before Cruz, according to one person who attended the event. Burr did not appear to be joking, said the person, who demanded anonymity to discuss the private gathering....

you would never hear of or see a democRAT do something like this. We need to take a page from their playbook - it's all about the party, period.
