Trump just needs to keep Cruz under 50% in Texas to force proportional allocation of delegates. However, a win would be good too.

At this point I am hoping Cruz gets Trumped and Rubio comes in fourth.

Cruz was trying to secure the borders when Trump was firing Dennis Rodman on the Apprentice.

I simply cannot fathom the enthusiasm for such an inferior, flawed, and derivative candidate. There is nothing that Trump can or would do that Ted Cruz would not do faster and better than Trump, if Trump really has any interest at all in doing the things he talks about.

What I find odd is the faith that some people have that Trump isn’t BSSing them off the face of the Earth, as is his natural skill set. He’s a kayfabe master; in the Hall of Fame, literally. There is no reason to believe a word out of his mouth, and plenty of cautionary evidence that he is totally lacking in sincerity.

Just a word of caution. You are about to be burned badly.

“Cruz was trying to secure the borders when Trump was firing Dennis Rodman on the Apprentice.”

Utter hogwash. Ted’s been exposed as just another ambitious lawyer who punched his meal ticket by going into politics.

Oh yes, now I remember, that’s when Cruz was busy writing up the TTP and TPA bills, and then the CFR bills along with the H1B visas, him and his little ‘Heidi’ were very busy people working behind our backs weren’t they!!!

“I simply cannot fathom the enthusiasm...”

And therein lies your problem.

“notice how the media continues to just use the word ‘immigration’ as opposed to the truth, ILLEGAL immigration.......”

Of course, and the term ‘Trump’s immigration outrage’ is, frankly, outrageous. We are not obligated as a nation to commit national suicide in order to placate those who would criticize us for actually wanting to avoid rapid demographic shifts that put our way of life at risk. Yes, they are conflating illegal immigration as somehow equivalent to legal immigration, but even if we were talking about making changes and limiting legal immigration, that’s our prerogative as a sovereign nation.

Without borders and without restrictions on entry, there is no nation. When there is no sovereign nation like America, the places for the hurt and dispossessed to run to will have decreased dramatically. Not recognizing this is the inherent idiocy of the pseudo intellectual left. They are dangerous in their self righteous stupidity, and if left to their agenda unopposed they will be responsible for the suffering of untold numbers of innocents.

Only 1.5 million illegals in Texas? Hardly, it’s much larger than that.

Please tell me just what Cruz HAS actually DONE that will convince me that he WILL do any thing?
He seems to talk the talk but walk the walk...
Not so much.
Like the lawyer he is.

“I simply cannot fathom the enthusiasm...”

And therein lies your problem.

The point being that the enthusiasm has no foundation in logic.

If anger over immigration is such a strictly conservative issue, why are so many leaving the Democrats to cross over for Trump.?

This is a bipartisan concern that has the potential to shatter both of the dinosaur parties.

Cruz passing out teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal alien leaches won’t help him much.

By passing out teddy bears to illegal aliens. See, that’s the problem. He says one thing and then does the opposite.

He has failed to secure the border.

I think Cruz will squeak it out but likely not 50%.
