Perfect!!!

Are Levin/Beck/Rush going to call Sessions a liberal tomorrow?

Pray America wakes

I don’t know why you say that. Donald makes deals. He’s the Top Guy believe me, when it comes to making deals. They’re gonna like working with Don, trust me on this. They’re going to enjoy doing the right thing for a change.

[proust]

Cruz and his sad wife hit the hardest!

“thousands gathered to hear Trump speak.”

Actually, over 32,000, perhaps thousands more!

Not at all. Sessions realizes that Cruz will not get the nomination, and he is throwing his endorsement to the candidate who WILL get the nomination.

LOL LOL LOL

If you say so. He really shouldn’t compared Carson to a child molester. Oh wait..:

[ASA Vet]

That's already occurred on the previous threads on this topic.

They will sully this thread too.

I am a Cruz supporter, but Trump is my second choice. I think it’s pretty clear that Cruz will not get the nomination; hence, I will stand behind Trump. Get it?

Hillary! is the gold standard for “fighting.” She’s constantly “fighting” for something. Amazing all that “fighting” leaves her time to drink!

[skeeter]

No I'll leave the stupid games to the dead enders on this board - in ALL camps.

In fact, this gives me some comfort as it looks like Trump (who I haven't trusted on the illegal immigration issue, vs. Cruz, whom I do trust) is going to win the nomination.

If Sessions will risk his reputation by endorsing Trump perhaps he is more worth trusting than I believe.

I'll cling to any slim reed at this point. I have to.

Will Cruz fans just accept defeat gracefully and join us in the fight against SHAMNESTY RUBIO?

No because Cruz said in an interview after the debate that he would side with Rubio if it were down to Rubio/Trump.

[reed13k]

Very nice news for Trump.... I will still vote for Cruz in Ohio until he drops out. Two weeks I suppose.

[bray]

I think Rubio would rather sell knockoff watches.

[John Valentine]

We shall see. In any case, Senator Sessions will have a very good working relationship with President Cruz.

[apoliticalone]

If not for Trump’s chutzpah, the many issues deemed politically incorrect would be buried under the cover of racist media bias, their lack of objectivity and their perpetual claims of racism.

We need a Congress that will make America great, and what we have is a Congress that makes pledges that puts America last.

Now I’m waiting for Ted Cruz himself to endorse Trump...

[Ms Mable]

They’ll probably call him Hitler too.
