You do know Trump’s not his first choice?

I think you’ve got a looser standard on who escapes the RINO label than I do.

Really, it’s not that difficult to figure out.

Go back to the 1999 interview with Russert and work your way up to yesterday.

It will become clear as a bell for you.

Trump’s not any different than Romney with testosterone.

If you will go to www.opensecrets.org and research for yourself, you would see Goldman-Sachs is a major donor for Cruz.

Goldman-Sachs hasn't given one dime to Ted Cruz's campaign. According to OpenSecrets anyway.

That won't happen on two counts. First, if Trump wins a majority of delegates, he will be the nominee. The Party can't stop that. Secondly, if the Party were to steal it, they certainly wouldn't give it to Cruz. They hate him more than they hate Trump.

Well, if the GOPe steals it and gives it to Ryan/Romney, they will anger both the Trump and Cruz supporters. The loss will be even larger.

I find Cruz extremely flawed and a bible thumper which is off putting

Plus Cruz is pretend anti establishment at least to m

Cruz has not had to endure 5% of the heat in this primary a Trump has

Last nite he got a taste of it from O Butthead and it didn’t go well

He grandstands and pisses off his colleagues but he’s immersed in GOPe and always has been

Trump fights......right virtually against everyone but Laura Ingram and Pat Buchannon and Steve Bannon

I was a Cruz guy 3.5 years ago and even had stickers made then but he’s just faded.....blaming Chicago lefty goons on Trumps tone....that was a big one

You Cruz people are soon enough only going to be. Supporting Ted to stop Trump if you can

Cruz will lose any chance at 1237 after New York Values

I’m all in for Trump....warts and all

What chu gonna do when Ted is eliminated pre convention?

What will JR do

He kinda hinted last nite or this morning

Check his posts and get back to me

I want Trump to destroy the GOP as we know it and close our borders

He does that and everything will fall into place best it can at this point

That’s disingenuous exponentially

Trump proposes things Romney would never even whisper in the toliet

I want what’s best for this country, whether the Republican party is destroyed or not.

My goal is not to destroy the Republican party but to instill conservative values that have been missing for years. That’s the only thing that’s going to save this country.

Cruz can lead with his truly conservative principles, and the American public will follow him. The GOP will then have to comply, or they will be eliminated. There won’t be any other choice for them, because they will be exposed if they don’t do what they promised they would do when they got elected. They don’t do what they’re supposed to do, they will be voted out.

I don’t believe in blowing up the system just for the sake of blowing it up and hope things work out. That just an act of total desperation.

Trump doesn’t even know what his positions are on anything. I have no confidence where he even stands, let alone whether he will do the right things if he is President.

Furthermore, if Trump is the nominee, I think we are screwed. He has pissed so many people off, I don’t believe he can win enough of them back.

I would vote for him if he’s the nominee only because I care about this country too much to let Hitlery become President.

Do you care enough for this country to vote for Cruz if he’s the nominee? Or is it just about screwing the GOPe to you?

I don’t want to screw the GOPe although Amanda Carpenter does come to mind I’ll confess

I’ll reluctantly vote for Cruz but his lustre is dull

He was also for Obamacare before he was against it before he was for it again.

He was for partial birth abortion before he was against it before he was for abortion before he was against it again before he was against it before he was for it WITH EXCEPTIONS.

And those are only two issues that he has in common with Romney that make him a RINO.

If Cruz is more likable than Trump and he gets more votes than Trump then yay for Ted. I’ll be happy to support him in November.

If Ted gets the nomination despite Trump having more delegates and votes I will be displeased.

If Ted gets the nomination despite Trump having 1237+ delegates then our local GOP headquarters will be hosting a bonfire.

I agree Trump has an inconsistent past

In this campaign he has two times I really disagreed

Planned Parenthood non abortion funding

Walking back the punishment gotcha question from Mr Tingly

I will list Cruzs if you want but what’s the point really....it’s more about inconsistent hypocritical behavior and the fact the more I see the less I like him

And I used to really like him

When he said he advocate replacing Hamilton with Rosa Parks I moaned...I’m et tu Teddy......

Walker had the right answer I think....leave Al on the bill...he earned it

Cruz and Kasich will soon both be in just to try to stop Trump

Wonder what they expect

Straightforward mathematical path to elimination for Cruz v Trump
April 7, 2016 at 7:08:27 PM CDT · 72 of 447
Jim Robinson to montanajoe
In a sane world, if every candidate but one is mathematically eliminated (which is likely to happen by the end of this month) then the one left standing is the winner.

Enough of this bullsh*t, clubbing each other over the head like baby seals. It’s time for Cruz and Trump supporters to unite and destroy the crony fascist GOPe.

By uniting, Cruz and Trump delegates can pass a resolution at the convention to disband the current rules committee and set up a new rules committee. That simple act completely destroys the GOPe, and there’s not squat that the fascist Rove and his traitors can do about it.

Which is why Cruz warned them against doing that.

Did you read the print at the bottom?

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2016 cycle. The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families. At the federal level, the organizations themselves did not donate, as they are prohibited by law from doing so.

If the GOP pulls any stunts to overturn the will of the people then the GOP will end and I’ll be there to stick a fork in it when it’s done.
