Oh, will Ted do that?

Well, I guess that's what Ted will do and his devoted supporters too. :-)

I say that no one here “hates” Cruz or Trump. Many of us like both. Some who have a preference for one over the other may become nasty when trying to sell their guy.

Cruz, as it stands right now, wins in Iowa. You heard it here first.

“Cruz-Hating Republicans Need a Reality Check”

Everybody gets a reality check starting next week.

No it really doesn’t, but believe what you want to.

.....”Almost every thread I post becomes clogged-up with Trumpets.”.....

That’s well documented by the way.....if it makes you feel better other conservative sites are experiencing this trend as well.....posters from Breitbart left there because it got so bad....they were posting on another site about how bad it got there.

FR is and remains the only site I comment on.....though I do look at other sites, rarely take time for their comment section as I have several blocks I have to unblock to do so and don’t want to take the time. But I was interested to see some “healthy” exchanges since it’s so hard to find here currently...and that’s when i was surprised other sites are having the same issue with Trumpers.

What say you?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......

I would say that 'reality' is a very misused word.

We're all going to need much more than that before this is all over.

I'm waiting for one of the campaigns to have women in the audience faint. Or will they only do that at DEM rallies ?

I was lucky enough to sign-on to Hot Air during one of their rare and short acceptance periods but I rarely post there.

I lived in Iowa half of my life and worked on two presidential campaigns as well as for the largest county party, but don’t take my word for it ... what do I know?

Steve Deace who also lives in Iowa agrees with you. His FB and Twitter are full of analysis of the numbers showing why Cruz wins.

The Senate is a cesspool of scum and villainy. We sent Cruz there to clean it up and you expect the corrupt statists and leftists there to make it easy on him?

He cant get anyone to help him intro legislation, people wont let him in on planning, he is persona non grata inside the Senate GOP leadership.

If the reason is that he tries to do things right, and they are only doing things to benefit themselves (ergo don't want him to screw up their cash pig), then it would seem more of a reason to support him.

If it's because he's got the cooties, then...

He’s not the only one, and they’re not all Cruz endorsers, either.

I have seen worse behavior on Twitter.

Well... that's because FR has a "PG" rating and Twitter is UNRATED.

I’m not that familiar with them.....though I know they’re supposedly or was a good Conservative site.

I visit twitter when somethings going on or want information sources....not from the posters because that has to be checked and rechecked because there’s a lot of junk....but the news sites also post there so you can link quickly to their version of what the hot story is. Which is a tad better then taking twitter posters seriously.

That’s why I don’t believe that Trumps doing all the tweeting he claims himself.....as he says “He doesn’t have time”.
