This January essay by Mychal Massie JUST came through here. It hits on the same theme I did on Wednesday’s radio program when a young lady called to say that, although she enjoyed our comments, she was disappointed at my ongoing support of Trump. I responded that we are in so much trouble facing a 20 TRILLION debt — not to mention a dedicated and vicious enemy! — (can you spell “OBAMA”?) that we needed someone in the White House who “...understands a balance sheet.” The only candidate with a DEMONSTRATED RECORD of that PRIVATE SECTOR ability is TRUMP! Bottom line? If we don’t solve that problem — and the others we face — the least of our concerns will be the political philosophy of the guy in the White House!

“The More Republican Senators Hate Cruz the More America-Loving Voters Should Back Him”
What type of goofy equation is that?
All of them despise Trump. That’s counting Republicans and Democrats. So that means everyone should vote for Trump?
Sorry, but doing something or voting for someone just to be contrarian is basically just being as much of a sheep as doing something because it’s popular and everyone else is doing it or feels the same way. I prefer to make my own decisions about things based on their own merits.
20 more anti-Trump posts today, and your Ted Cruz True Believer(TM) merit badge will be in the mail, though.
Thank you for referencing that article Kaslin. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Patriots, please remember that the president has only signature / veto authority under the Constitution where domestic policy is concerned.
In other words, it is actually more important, imo, that citizens support the new conservative president with a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Incredibly dumb argument. In what universe is this true?
Have you seen Trump’s negatives in the likable polls?
How do you reconcile that Cruz can’t win based on this but Trump can when Trump’s negatives and “second pick” numbers are lower than Cruz?
It doesn’t follow that the more senators hate Cruz the more we should support him for president.
Our support should be based on the rest of his record.
He has some significant fails to answer to.
“He loves the Constitution and would keep his presidential oath to uphold it.”

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;”
I think the actual article is too long and complex for them to read or debate. In the article, the writer points out why they hate Trump, and it's not because he has an odd face or a nasal voice or any of the other popular trumporony complaints. It's because he fights against the corrupt uniparty in Washington - the one that Trump always promises to get along with, fondly remembering all the times he showered money on them himself.
Trump is the silly putty candidate. That really nails it.
Not one single fellow senator has endorsed Cruz.
Nobody seems to be coming out now to support Trump either.
QUOTE: “Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), widely considered the most open to a Trump endorsement, hasn’t even spoken to the real estate mogul in more than a month after helping him last year on immigration policy. He has no imminent endorsement plans.” END QUOTE

Tennmountainman says ...”Not one single fellow senator has endorsed Cruz...
Here is the list of those that support Trump since you mention it... Not one single active senator.
P.S. and not single active House of Representatives person has supported Trump either.
Trump’s got Bob Dole though - the original go along to get along back slapping we’re all friends in here anything you need I’m your huckleberry let me get that for you old buddy old pal Senator.
“but this is 2016 and people go for the likable President. They have for 40 years”
If this is true then say hello to President Rubio or Carson if he stays in the race.
The real question is why they hate him. It is not policy folks.
