if Jeff gets any response at all it will include a plea for a campaign donation
I reject the premise. I see it over and over again, but why is it a given that Trump would be better than Clinton? Based on what? What he’s been saying as a candidate or how he’s lived his entire life? I choose to judge the man by his actions and by that standard I see no cause for hope that he would govern any more conservatively than Clinton.
Good job. I’m sorry. It’s just one of my peeves.
Holy crap. Any of these guys making so many speeches a day without prompters can make a mistake. His mistake doesn’t show illiteracy; it’s just like a spoken typo. 7/11 is a thing and so is 9/11.
He didn’t pronounce corpsmen as corpsemen. He didn’t say he sees so many fallen heroes in the audience.
Such a mistake doesn’t happen to Lying Hillary. She carries prompters everywhere.
I respectfully disagree. If the GOP can go to convention with a clear winner, Clinton will be beat soundly. If, however, the convention is contested and the GOP push their own candidate through, the GOP will be ruined and any support will be minimal - giving Clinton an easy win. Then it’s goodbye, USA.
Good letter Jeff. I hope you fixed the typos.
Cruz inordinately sees himself as Reagan in 1976. He wants to repeat that even to the floor fight and the 1980 coronation and win.
However, the field of battle is different this time. Cruz is not fighting the Establishment Liberals (Ford). Trump is a different animal calling for a different strategy.
Trump may or may not beat Hillary. But Cruz cannot beat Trump without it being a pyric victory. So Ted needs to back off, let Trump win and the chips fall, score some points, and still be the guy all the TRUMP supporters want next time. The only way to do that is to JOIN HANDS.
Cruz should pursue the nomination through the convention Trump is a liberal like Jerry Ford, he Claims he will build a wall, fine that would be nice.
However he hasn’t proposed any entitlement reforms, he has proposed no spending cuts, or getting rid of any government programs, he has proposed a touch and go amnesty. He has proposed continued funding of the “good work” Planned Parenthood does.
Mr Trump’s campaign has been a wrecking ball of personal attacks against many candidates. He should apologize to Cruz if he wants to ask for Cruz’s support he should renounce his vile referencing of Cruz as Lying Ted.
Hold Trump short of 1237 and try to win on a second ballot this is what your supporters want.
And I make fun of Obama making those mistakes too. You need to grow some thicker skin if you can’t handle this joke. It’s funny. Just like the ones with Cruz are funny too.
Problem is, being from New York, is Trump not the east coast establishment candidate? So how could a contested convention be worse than that?
Cruz is for Tpp which will send ANY remaining factories in Texas and the USA to China. That’s doing something to hurt Texas and the USA. Also they will use TPP to bring in more immigrants .
Hey Cruz go “help” your native Canada and get out of my Country
I agree. Trump is 100% RINO and the person the establishment is happy with.
Well said.
It’s time to unite and put our efforts behind Donald Trump and concentrate on defeating the probably Rat candidate Hillary.

Well if Trump listens to his buddy Giuliani it will be Kasich. And then what will you do? Will you not vote for Trump for picking a liberal VP?
A difficult letter to write, Jeff Head, when you so greatly support what you hear from Senator Cruz— his agenda.
(Though I am amazed you are not of the opinion that Cruz is a not too subtle tool for the globalist establishment in Washington and internationalists on Wall Street, and with a wife willing to serve as an associate to the CFR paper cracking the door open for a North American ‘Community’ (UNION), and making it sound like Julie Andrews singing the “Sound of Music”.)
I am grateful for your objectivity on the math, and your courage to have at least heard, read and come to appreciate the TRUMP agenda and mostly his RESOLVE and powerful addresses on American security, jobs and growth and regulations, treasonous foreign trade policies and our endless foreign enemy agreements, our current Middle East infiltration and “Refugee Policy” , and our nasty deal making between DC and the globalists.
I agree Cruz should not be a spoiler in these dangerous times. It is every day coming closer to life and death for American citizens should Cruz vicariously promote those dangers by hurting TRUMP and helping Hillary Clinton.
The enemy is in the gate. We need TRUMP.
Nice letter.
Whatever concerns he may have had for the country and the citizens seem to have taken a back seat to his ambition.
He has become a tool of the GOPe to block the citizens from retaining the rule of law and our country.
The main purpose of the GOPe is to prevent the citizens from stopping The Cheap Labor Express and Ted is now helping them achieve that.
I am sorry to disappoint.
It is not something I wanted to write.
I have supported senator Cruz, both actively here in Idaho, and with my finances at a time when my funds for my cancer are of vital concern.
However, my first allegiance (after to God and family) is to the Nation.
A raucous, ugly fight on the convention floor is almost invariably going to lead to fracturing the party and one or the other groups (Trump’s or Cruz’s) will likely either not vote, or some have even said run a 3rd party.
Any of this destroys any chance of preventing an Obama 3rd term through Hillary or the DNC. This is the vital thing we must prevent.
If Cruz and others can find a way to join with Trump, we will have the best chance of those plans he has set forth and announced actually being accomplished. They would also set the stage for that type of leadership potentially lasting 3-4 administrations.
I honestly believe this to be the case...and it is why I wrote the letter.
Cruz doing his “victory dance” over voterless Colorado, Wyoming, and North Dakota was both stupid and disgusting. For years I served & fought overseas as a US Army combat Infantryman. I’d be livid if I was one of my military brothers or sisters from Colorado, Wyoming, or North Dakota.
So go do your victory dance & celebrate Ted, because those serving in the US military from these states who protect your backside every day were denied the right to vote.
That ship has sailed. Trump's scorched earth campaign has already insured a Hillary win in November, regardless of whether Cruz or Trump are the nominee. At this point, the main reason I want to see Trump defeated is in the hope that we might be able to hang on to at least one house of Congress. If Trump is the nominee, we lose the Senate and probably the House as well.
Tagline too!
