Trump: Establishment rallying behind me to stop 'nasty' Cruz

The only guy in the equation who has actually won political office clearly needs to be lectured to by those who have not. Both you and Trump.

[Finny]

Objective is to win election.

And the objective when Ralphie's dad entered the contest "Great figures in American literature," in which he was victorious because he came up with the correct name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse, was to win a major award.

Who cares that the major award was the world's ugliest lamp?

Who cares that conservatives end up "winning" with a guy who has spent a lifetime defying virtually every conservative political principle?

After all, winning is the only thing that counts, even if you win garbage!! You still WON!!! Yippeeeeeee!

[subterfuge]

That’s the spirit!

[Aquamarine]

It makes you understand how some people so easily get conned out of everything they own.

I knew it would come up again so I found an article that references the 1994 court case and found the case. see the thread.

You just don’t understand.

That was the old Trump so last week.

Well OK. So yesterday.

Well OK, So this morning.

Well OK. So 15 minutes ago.

He’s changed.

GO Trump!

Change we can believe in for at least 15 minutes.

So the only thing that actually happened is Cruz and Beck welcomed the illegals with Teddy bears.

But Cruz can say..”I led the fight....”

[Jewbacca]

Rudy G. was on Fox this AM pushing Trump as a “moderate” on things like guns, ObamaCare, etc.

So, yes, the Uniparty would be happy with Trump.

Here is why the EGOP is rallying behind Trump: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5HXItQ5Sro

Okay. You're blaming the insurgent Ted Cruz who wrote a bill to stop the Dreamer amnesty.

I'll blame Donald Trump's buddy, Mitch McConnell who helped stop the bill.

[Aria]

I honestly don’t know why Cruz went to the border. Seems to me you could either go to the border or write a bill to stop the dreamer amnesty. But both?

Are illegals welcome by Cruz or not? He welcomed actual illegals but wrote a bill he had to know wouldn’t pass.

So which is it?

[SPRINK]

I honestly think Trump is The Terminator part deaux...

man I hope I’m wrong. After Bush the republicans just get one more shot until they are shut out permanently

"Donald Trump says establishment Republicans are warming up to his presidential bid because they're terrified of Ted Cruz being the party's nominee"

I agree.

[montag813]

I support Trump, but every day it seems more people are coming out against him. He could be very vulnerable. However his opponents are so weak an ineffective, such as Cruz with his embarrassing Beck endorsement.

[Aria]

I’m at work...will have to watch later..

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

If you like the Establishment, you’ll like Trump.

[CyberAnt]

Trump got the “nasty” comment from the GOP-e bunch; they love to call Cruz names.

But .. the more Trump says it the more I dislike him.

[FreeReign]

He welcomed actual illegals but wrote a bill he had to know wouldn’t pass.

So then you're of the Boehner and McConnell school of thought. Don't do anything.

I'm for pushing the issue, and pushing a bill as far as possible, in order to inform the electorate, rally the electorate, point out the enemies of the electorate, and build a consensus that at some future point in time pays off.

Apparently Cruz is for that too.

Trump is going to beat Cruz like a drum

And third wife...

Would not kind looking at that for 8 years and maybe having a president that stop promising me a Conservative wish list of things he won't get through Congress(Which Cruz is doing). I just want someone who will deal with the Chicoms and Russians like a businessman trying to avoid a screwjob. I believe Trump will do that. Get our anemic GDP growth up. Stay out of my bedroom and what I put in my body and support tax and legal reform. I am not looking for a right wing ideologue who sounds like radio talk show host and has never had a real job in his life. Some of you Cruz zealots tell me, how many jobs has Ted created? Does Ted have any experience running a business, dealing with government regulation personally, had to make a payroll? I think some of you purists who really just want to be lied to and have William FG Buckley talking points poured like honey in your ears. Ted Cruz would be the Barry Goldwater of 2016, says the right things, but has a rock bottom likeability factor which translates to big "L" in the general. I want to win this time and prevent Hillary from being President..PERIOD.
