Senator Cruz for the SCOTUS!
My open letter to Ted:
Ted, I never liked you. I’ve always seen you as someone who is scripted, rehearsed and inauthentic. Like an actor in a play in which you play the part of a christian conservative.
But none of this matters now. You lost. It’s over. Get out. The scheme you are running to swindle delegates will destroy your political career and might put you in jail. Just go, Ted. Get a real job and try again in 8 years.
Sincerely,
I say let it play itself out. That's what the delegates are there for. The premise that a convention fight would automatically result in a Clinton victory in November is asinine.
When Trump chooses a non-conservative VP soon, all the swooners on FR will again find a way to support their hunky bad boy’s pick. Look forward to watching the gyrations.
Then you've got nothing to worry about with Cruz continuing his campaign.
If you’re to be taken seriously, proof reading and spellcheck is your friend.
Just saying......
Nope. The surest way to elect Hillary this November is to run a divisive phony like Trump.
With sky high negatives, he will drive democrats to the polls to hold their noses and vote for Hillary.
Meanwhile, real conservatives — who would never in a million years countenance giving $ to Hillary or Harry Reid for senate (like Trump did) — will sit on our hands this fall. Might pull the lever for Trump reluctantly, but that’s about it. No money, no time, no phone calls, no volunteer efforts.
Cruz, on the other hand, is the real deal. It’s amazing that a real conservative has been able to run the political gauntlet to this point, and we shouldn’t squander this opportunity.,
I agree with you. Now is not the time to fight, now is the time to unite.
Amen Brother!
I saw both men's speeches last night and I think already the tone is changing for the better. Cruz was gracious in defeat and Trump was magnanimous in victory. Which for Trump, is saying a lot. Neither slung barbs at the other and that's a good start.
I really hope that they come to terms with each other because united, they will be able to box the GOPe out of the equation. Together, they will completely control the convention and the Republican Party.
The GOP establishment is hell bent on keeping them mortal enemies as it allows them a glimmer of hope that they can slip their own non-Trump guy in (and it won't be Cruz).
Ted Cruz is only 44 years old. He pretty much still has his entire life ahead of him. He should step aside for Trump today and keep himself in position for future opportunities to serve the nation and the conservative cause.
Why are his records sealed like Obama?
Jeff, I fully support a Trump/Cruz ticket and believe it to be best for America.
Next time try spell check
If Cruz would actually do this, he would be a hero again in my eyes (many others I would wager). He would make a path for another run for president in 4 or 8 years, older and wiser by then (and maybe have removed the stigma of being a non-born in the USA citizen). Only if he loves the country more than himself will he agree to your earnest request.
Have admired much of what you have placed here on FR over the years but could not be more disappointed in you than I am right now.
Maybe apologizing to millions of Cruz supporters for having his new GOPe/Rino/Hack delegate hunter compare them to Nazi's or the Gestapo would help too!
I know, write the same kind of letter to Donny the Democrat Donor and see what his response is.
If you run out of crayons.....Staples still sells them.
FRgards, (your heart is in the right place)
Jedi.
Good letter.
Cruz and Kasich need to realize a pointless convention fight won’t do any one any good.
Our party has chosen Trump to be its presumptive nominee.
Whatever differences people have with him must be set aside for the greater good of defeating Hillary Clinton.
Our country cannot afford a third Obama term. Its that simple.
I understand where the Trump haters are. But they want to throw out the bathwater with the baby.
That cannot be allowed to happen.
I’m an American before I’m a conservative and even before I’m a Republican.
America must always come first. That is why today, I unreservedly back Donald J. Trump for the nomination of our party for President Of The United States Of America.
God Bless America!
This is the trillion dollar question!!! At this point I don't believe it. If he wins and nominates two centrist or liberal supreme court justices then what was the point? If he wins and doesn't 100% stop immigration and deport illegals then what was the point? If he wins and doesn't balance the budget and reduce the debt then what was the point? etc. etc. If Trump picks a rino VP then it becomes very difficult for me to believe.
Very well said!
A dose of much needed common sense and also a road map to victory.
