One more delegate for 3 million more in spending is “whipped his butt”? Cool!

[servantboy777]

Ok...so what? Cruz is my senator. He’z kept every promise he’z made to Texans. He has done a fine job. Love that he has pissed off the republican establishment in the senate...thrills me. As solicitor general of the great state of Texas, Cruz sued the Obozo administration dozens of times. Trump doesn't have the conservative credentials of Cruz. He just doesn't.

I just carp when I see really dumb stuff.

This is the battle as I see it; illogical morons with their lips permanently fastened to government tits outnumber those of us who are paying for it all. That is a fact. Trump represents the only hope for getting enough crossover and independent votes to overcome those tit sucking parasites. Cruz simply will not pull in enough votes to do it. Trump is the only chance we have.

I will vote for whoever is the republican nominee but none but Trump stand a chance at winning this fall. The popularity of Sanders, and by default socialism, coupled with the fact the number of parasites outnumber those who make up the host proves that beyond any doubt in my mind.

"The South Carolina GOP is dominated by RINOs and all have endorsed either Rubio or Bush. SC used to be a fairly conservative state, but with the invasion of liberals from Yankeeland, especially in the coastal areas, liberal Lindsey Graham is sent back to the senate every four years to backstab the Republican Party"....

It's funny how you outed Trump as a Liberal based on your assessment of SC politics being RINO country and him being the only one that can win it.

NH is the least conservative state in the union. Meanwhile Kasich will find it hard to repeat his NH success anywhere else. The result tells you Cruz is likely to come in 1st or 2nd in nearly all the remaining states. That makes him a formidable competitor to Donny the Tramp.

[JediJones]

You nailed it there. That is the simple, indisputable truth that the Trampsters are desperately trying to lie about every minute of the day to defend their false god. Tell your Senator he’s got a friend in Pennsylvania!

[JediJones]

Trump represents the only hope for getting enough crossover and independent votes to overcome those tit sucking parasites.

YOU COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG! Democrats and liberals DESPISE Trump more than any other candidate. He has done worse than Cruz and the others in EVERY general election poll. You people can't keep spewing these baseless and wrong assumptions about Trump's general election viability when all the evidence says the opposite. Please research the facts before you post bad advice that will hand the election to the Dems.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/donald-trump-is-really-unpopular-with-general-election-voters/

Contra Rupert Murdoch’s assertion about Trump having crossover appeal, Trump is extraordinarily unpopular with independent voters and Democrats. Gallup polling conducted over the past six weeks found Trump with a -27-percentage-point net favorability rating among independent voters, and a -70-point net rating among Democrats; both marks are easily the worst in the GOP field. (Trump also has less-than-spectacular favorable ratings among his fellow Republicans.)

“Who you gonna believe, Your echo chamber or the fact of actions? “

So what are the “facts of Trump’s conservative actions”?

[BwanaNdege]

Excellent!

[Boogieman]

Well, a conservative winning 3rd place in NH is pretty strong. I don’t think it’s possible for a conservative to do much better than that in that primary.

We aren't stupid. We remember very recent events very well.

Sen. Cruz Files Additional Amendments to Immigration Legislation

Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration Provisions of his amendment include:

Doubling the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylees):

Employment-based green cards: Consolidates the 5 existing employment-based visas into a single high-skilled employment-based visa.

Family-based green cards: Creates a single family-based visa category that treats all immigrant families equally by redefining "immediate relatives" as "spouses, minor children, and parents of citizens or LPRs."

Treating immigrants from all countries equally by eliminating the diversity visa program and the per-country visa caps: Currently, immigrants of identical skill may experience drastically different wait times and burdens based merely on their country of origin. Not only is this inequitable, it hurts our ability to attract the best and brightest.

Reducing bureaucracy: Creates a user-friendly online portal where visa applicants can apply and obtain updates on their application.

Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold

This amendment would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing the H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. It would also help America retain the people it educates by authorizing dual-intent student visas and address the need for high-skilled labor by creating a block grant to promote domestic high-skilled workers.

Cruz 1326: Combines Cruz 1324 and Cruz 1325. Implements Green Card reform to streamline and expand legal immigration and increases high-skilled temporary worker visas five fold.

Trump has no one base of support. He gets conservatives, moderates, liberals, evangelicals. He gets people fed up with politics as usual. He got more “very conservative” votes in NH than Cruz did and more evangelicals than Cruz did. He’ll do the same in SC. He’s been leading there in the polls for months.

[SeaHawkFan]

Cruz and Trump are separated by under 10 delegates. The race is only beginning.

[r_barton]

According to the spin losing is the new winning, don’t you know? ;-)

[bubman]

The reverence that Trump supporters have for this candidate borders on the cultish. You disagree with them and they want to saw your head off yet Trump expresses himself in platitudes and slogans like a polished politician. Because he appeals to everyone, he believes in nothing but himself. I am reminded by Matthew 7.15. and Trump is the wolf.

[NKP_Vet]

“Because he appeals to everyone, he believes in nothing but himself”.

I support Trump because he said he would built a wall. All the others made fun of him when he said it, including Cruz, now Cruz copies him.

He said he would stop Muslims from coming into the country until we can figure out who the bad guys are. Now Cruz and others copy him.

I could go on. Cruz basically kept his mouth shut for months, never criticized a word Trump says, now attempts to steal all his ideas and tries to get people to believe they are his. In the meantime he goes around making up every lie he can about Trump. His days are numbered and they’ll come to an end in SC.Trump would have won Iowa if not for underhanded tactics from Cruz and the crooks he has running his campaign.
