I don’t know if Trump realizes it or not. I suspect that he doesn’t.

I have a problem with what Cruz did too. Also Rubio. I really don’t like Rubio at all.

Thing is, whoever runs against the democrats, I have to vote for, regardless of what I think of them or anything they did or will do.

I can’t let one of those rats become president.

Being that I support both Trump and Cruz, the battle for the #1 spot is somewhat entertaining. But should the struggle benefit the Establishment, we won’t find ourselves escaping the tyranny we’re attempting to defeat.


As a Trump and Cruz supporter I agree with you 100%

Exactly! He is the exact kind of GOP candidate that Hillary would beat.

When inexpiable things like this happen, I guess it’s wise to always follow the money. I’d bet there is money involved in this somewhere.

Rubio will defeat Hillary easily. First he looks younger than his age, while Hillary looks older than her age. The contrast will be striking. But much more important, Rubio is likable and a smooth talker.

High five on that, dfwgator.

I remember a while back listening to Hannity, I think it was, saying that we have such an incredible field of candidates...

NO, WE DO NOT!

All of them are very flawed, some of them so flawed that it’s mind blowing, and other who have no business running for anything at all ever (Jeb!).

If I could give any advice at all to people who want to be president, please, Dear God, have some leadership skills and innate leadership qualities.

Just because you have administrated something in your life does not qualify you to be president.

This world has plenty of good administrators.

It has almost no good leaders.

It's about immigration and the Cheap Labor Express. That is the #1 priority of the elite. Rubio will do their bidding

We have a winner!

Path to Legal Status for Illegals

Cheap Foreign Workers on H1-B visa

Pushing TPP

There is no "power" other than those Republicans who vote in the primaries and caucuses.

The Democrats have a lot of rigged rules, superdelegates, etc.. The GOP primary is a pretty straight-up affair. Whoever wins will win because they had the most support in the part as a whole.

Although Trump and Cruz going at it like this may make a lot of undecided voters decide that both are to off-putting to too many people.

They both are losing the linger this goes on.

Surprising, since immigration was one of Santorum’s main issues. But at least he endorsed someone in line with his social conservative values.

It’s obvious the social conservatives are really bitter about Cruz taking their voters. It’s understandable.

And between Trump and Rubio, at least Rubio didn’t become a pro-life, pro-2A Republican last week.

I’ll take Rubio over Trust Fund Donnie in a heartbeat.

They are perfect for each other. But it doesn’t matter. The vast majority of Santorum supporters will default to Ted Cruz now.

Well, Rick just completely sold out on immigration. Extremely disappointing.

Santorum, the Christian hardliner, endorses Rubio, the gay Florida party boi.

Everything’s for sale in politics...

Trump or bust.
