Your mileage may vary.
TRUMP 2016
... because America need some tough-love.
Haven’t seen any documentation that Ted promises one thing in English and another an Spanish.
Bush and Rubio can’t say the same...
IMO Trump has been dismissed by these guys for eight months.
There was always some reason he was going to drop out.
Him not doing that, they are now left pretending he doesn’t exist.
In their imaginary world, it’s Cruz vs Rubio. In that scenario, I think Rubio prevails. They certainly do.
This is a plug for Rubio.
FAIL.
Trump will continue to dominate him.
The Donald is like the experienced regatta sailing captain who cuts and trims his sails to take greatest possible advantage of the wind while tacking, then unfurls the sails to the fullest once the wind gets at his back.
So for a moment, the sails had a little luff, not necessarily a strategic error, but it may have restored a little control.
It all comes down to knowing how to read the sails right, and responding appropriately.
And it confounds certain of the spectators to no end when The Donald keeps on hauling further and further into the lead.
But what do I know.
This guy Hayes ought to be “fair and balanced” when he writes this drivel. He is an anti Trump hack who was part of the hate gate that encompassed the National Review flank action against Trump. Fair and Balanced? I think not.
Rubio and Cruz will boh sell out the middle classs on trade and immigration and destroy the American dream. Sure they are both “conservatives” by Heritage et.al. because the defintion of conservative by all these groups is flawed by being pro-free trade and weak on immigration.
Trump is indeed a populist with a heart for the middle class and wisdom about the damage immigration and trade as supported by so called conservatives lack. Populist is what America needs.
Are these people pushing for a Rubio/Cruz ticket now? It seems like it. Trump is not going away as much as Stephen Hayes and his ilk would hope. They refuse to or don’t realize the enormous anger the electorate has for elected politicians of all stripes.
Cruz is the only candidate with sworn enemies: Islam, the GOP-e and the Left. They know he’s coming for them.
Let the man do his work. Give him the job of American Junkyard Dog. Unmalleable Ted’s opponents see every advance zero handed them going up in smoke.
No. I don’t think so for one minute.
bttt
Trump will sue and Rubio will seduce our enemies to death. I want near-term, painful quick ends for them. I want them making escape and hide plans Today, not in 11 months.
More and more as Trump goes 'round the bend daily that the man is nuts!

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?
What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?
What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?
What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?
What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Cruz is the one to do it.
If Trump or Hillary gets elected in 2016, the GOP is done.
Trump’s touchback amnesty will result in massive amounts of new D voters.
what is curious to me is that most of the governors or former governors are either viewed as GOPe or supporting GOPe candidates.
The list:
Chris Christie
JOhn Kasich
Scott Walker
Jeb Bush
Bobby Jindal(supporting Rubio)
Rick Perry
Arnold Schwarnegger(supporting Kasich)
Larry Hogan(supporting Christie)
Guess Scott Walker is the one who is least establishment on list.
Sarah Palin, who is supporting Trump, is also no establishment.
I meant quick deaths for our enemies, not Trump and Rubio.
This guy Hayes ought to be fair and balanced when he writes this drivel. He is an anti Trump hack who was part of the hate gate that encompassed the National Review flank action against Trump. Fair and Balanced? I think not.

National Review publication of the collective anti-Donald Trump missives from 22 self-appointed conservative potentates has caused quite a stir in Republican circles.
The nationwide responses range from, Wait, I thought National Review went out of business years ago, to Ed Meese? Seriously?
The Gang of 22 have officially become parodies of themselves. One would have to reach back to the days of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew to lift an adequate quote to describe them.
Nattering nabobs of negativism, vicars of vacillation, pusillanimous pussyfooters, the decadent few, ideological eunuchs, the effete corps of impudent snobs, or the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history - take your pick, because they all apply about equally well to each and every one of them.
So clueless is the Gang of 22 they can not even see how they haveve stumbled right into the narrative Trump has been communicating so successfully for months. Just like the elected officials from both parties, the Gang of 22 has been GREAT at complaining about stuff, year, after year, after year.
But getting anything accomplished? Not so much.
Many of the Gang of 22 have been hanging around and chattering for decades, and some are active cogs in the Conservative Entertainment Complex, deriving their income by pandering to conservative anger while offering no real solutions.
Donald Trump represents a threat to these ineffectual poohbahs in the same way he represents a threat to do-nothing public officials.
Jealousy is also seriously at work here. Trump is inspiring and exciting a broad spectrum of the country like no member of the Gang of 22 ever has, or ever will.
In just seven months of campaigning, Trump already has more Americans listening to a Republican message than the entire Gang of 22 could muster over decades.
Trump understands that before you can advance the ball, you have to convince people to take time from their busy lives to listen. No one on the GOP side since Ronald Reagan has accomplished that like Trump.
-——Cruz has demonstrated a willingness to challenge the calcified structures ———
more than showing a willingness, it seems that Trump is real piss and vinegar and will in reality dissolve the calcified structures away
