There are multiple polls showing Trump leading. Check the link.
Cruz is not that Conservative. Being married to Goldman-Sacks, having an Ivy League law degree, working in RINO Bush II's admin and opining for a 300% increase in H-1b visas doee not a conservative make.
I cannot for the life of me understand as to why some seem to think cruz is the way forward.
It is so obvious that he is there for the establishment and to be a spoiler.
He doe snot have the enthusiasm outside his small base, he can’t even won a single county in the swing states of VA. FL, I mean the man is toast, and yet his voters will repeat the establishments talking points, because that is what they want to hear.
I thought after Obama and his cult that we would see people wake up, and yet today it is some on out side who are just as bad today.
What is more disturbing is how they cannot understand how a a vote for cruz is a vote for what the establishment wants, a contested convention.
Once they get their convention you can guarantee that the establishment will stab cruz in the back and then his voters here will be outraged, and cry. They will be shocked, and yet we told them it was they who helped the establishment to do this.
Well they get what they worked for and they have no pity from me.
Our money.
You Trump guys sure know how to shovel the manure. This is a truckload and a half.
If you looked at Cruz’s resume with the name blacked out you it would look EXTREMELY Establishment.
The reason Trumps pisses off the before mentioned is that ACTUALLY he spoke truth about reality!
*****************************************
He’s been lancing a lot of political boils.
That money he gave to politicians is called "protection money." If big businesses do not donate to politicians (of any party), they will destroy the business. It is typical for businesses to give to all top candidates of both parties during an election.
And it is a fact that wheeling and dealing has to happen to get anything done. You are calling it bribery, but it isn't: it is the way things get done, and there seems to be no alternative. Trump knows how to negotiate and he has a solid record of negotiation. Cruz has very little record at all of getting things done, and it seems he supports amnesty, and the ill-named "immigration reform" aka opening the border.
If you don't like the system, supporting the candidate who was cut out of the same cloth as those who created the system is hardly the way to get it dismantled. The only way to do that is to get a smart outsider, who is tough and can stand up to the entrenched powers that be.
Everybody else in the country donates to politicians, but Donald Trump is special: when he donates, it's suddenly called bribery.
I guess we're lucky that Trump has stopped bribing politicians.
If only Ted Cruz would stop accepting bribes!
That's right, folks! These wealthy donors pouring money into the Cruz campaign (with the help of squeaky clean Neil Bush, of course) are bribing Ted Cruz.
Yep! Ted Cruz is open for business: his Presidential campaign is currently accepting bribes, just like his Senatorial campaign did.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump can't be bribed...
Trump can win New York State - Cruz can't. NY is a Democrat gimme in most elections. But to have to work and possibly lose NY this time would be a blow to Dems with lasting effects.
Trump can win New Jersey. Cruz can't.
Trump can win Pennsylvania - there are reports of 100,000 PA Democrats switching to Repubs so they can vote for Trump. PA is coal country. PA will not support Cruz.
Same for Michigan, possibly Ohio.
His “art of the deal” has always HAD to include greasing the hands of pols to get projects done. Always. He knows this the way to be. It is among his first principles in operating his empire. That’s how he knows so many people abroad. Does it benefit others at times? I’m sure. Does it benefit the Donald ALWAYS? You betcha!
Now, once he gets to Washington, where the intractable forces of special interests are running wild—what is he going to do, abandon his first principle? Not likely. The same tit-for-tat operation will continue. It will benefit Americans somewhat (of that I have no doubt), it will continue to line the pockets of the entrenched (are they leaving once he gets elected?), and it will continue the charade of American governance. No constitutional republic. No limited government. Just more oligarchical governance. The ruling class will rule on, of which he is an admitted big-time player.
the better term for the money to politicians is grease. Grease makes the wheels go round. Trump is a New Yorker where tips are actually grease
It took a whole 8 mins for the Cruzers to jump on this thread. They must be getting over-confident. Usually, they are here 24/7/365.
I think the GOPe will get more than they bargained for with Ted!. For some reason he has conned good men into thinking he is on their side, and he’s conned the GOPe into believing he is controllable, all while being probably the least forthright politician I have ever seen in my life!
Alarm bells should be going off in everyone’s heads with this one, people! I see no evidence to conclude that this man can effectively govern, so you have to ask yourself, what has he shown an aptitude for? Other than to be a con-man?!
You know darned well that if Cruz should get the nomination, it will be no different than McCain, Romney, Dole--etc. The media will turn against him (and he still has not denied the Nat'l Enquirer allegations, so there is ammunition to attack), and he will turn out to be just another lawyer, measuring every word he says in a calculation to avoid "offending" those the media says will be offended.
Trump is a breath of fresh air. Not a lawyer, not the establishment. He says what he thinks. And it's harder for the media to dig up dirt about him or trash his image, because, unlike most politicians, he is very public and people know who he is.
Vote for Trump, warts and all...
There can be no serious possibility of Cruz defeating Hillary. She will pound him into a pulp. He is predictable and easily manipulated. The sheer malicious nature of the Clinton campaign will destroy Cruz.
Trump will fight back hard. It is this very specific characteristic of his candidacy that has vast swaths of the electorate coming to his support.
Voting for Trump, warts and all!
