t comes down to which candidate will do the best job of underwater demolition of the Sea Witch.

Which reminds me, Trump has a great "say-anything" approach, but one serious challenge he'd need to address is trying to argue principle when he's differentiating his views from Hillary's. The Beest's camp will definitely attack using the kaleidoscope of opinions he's held over the years.

They won't always do it directly. They'll set up pretend-conservative PACs with pretend-conservative names to criticize Trump from the right as a left-wing candidate who is just using conservatives to get elected. Ubama's campaign did this in both his elections.

Trump would need to learn to argue ideas coherently on the key issues in the face of state-run media interview questions. They will specifically try to catch him in contradictions or twist careless turns of phrase--which are his weakness--and contrast them with other things he's said. Their (only) goal is to repeat them enough so that conservatives will lose enthusiasm for him and stay home.

Hey Ted, Hillary is surely one of the biggest RATS (demoCRAT) of all.

Do you desire to copulate with her?

What principles does Trump have to argue?

Trump would need to learn to argue ideas coherently on the key issues in the face of state-run media interview questions.

He's been at it almost 10 months and hasn't been able to do that yet.

McCain and Romney ran VERY HONORABLE CAMPAIGNS against Obama (for that matter, so did Dole/Kemp against Bill Clinton). I guess they’d rather LOSE honorably than win.

So, other than the paid Cruzer’s still out there, this should put an end to any thought that Cruz is his own man - he is CLEARLY OWNED by the GOPe at this point, given this statement.

Cruze is GOPE stooge, only in this on orders of GOPE to stop Trump from the magic GOPE number. Now with assistance from fellow GOPE stooge K-sick.

“Yes, because that worked so well for Romney...”

This is what they fear most from Trump,

Cruz is just sending a signal to the Clinton camp (and the DNC/GOPe) hoping to gain a tacit ally,

What does Cruz consider personal? Hillary trashing women Bill molested? Stealing money through the Clinton Foundation? Paling around with a Muslim Brotherhood operative? Hiding serious health issues? Drinking to excess?

Cruz: Won't Go "Personal" With Hillary,Will Focus On Substance

Crime is substance, the Lord and John the Baptist went straight to the character of the leaders and said very little about any fiscal issues.

Cruz would be a great president, and I’m looking forward to seeing him in the White House.

Note to Donald Trump: Please invite Ted Cruz to visit shortly after your inauguration, so his disappointed fans can all see what Ted Cruz looks like in the White House.

Cruz is a man of very poor character.

People do not want him or he would have won the votes of the masses.

We have a person like him already in the White House and we never want to see it happen again.

He's been at it almost 10 months and hasn't been able to do that yet.

You raise a key point. There is the possibility that he's capable of arguing ideas coherently in key situations (as shown in real estate or show-biz contracts), but has been trying to leave himself political wiggle room on the campaign trail.

The other possibility is that he's never really set up an "opinion infrastructure" in his brain, they would peg him as an incoherent old man, and he wouldn't have enough logical horsepower to convincingly fire back.

It's easy to forget that the general election landscape is completely different. It occurs after Democratic operatives have made joint tactical plans with "mainstream" media organizations, and then settle down to coordinate and execute as events unfold.

Sounds like he’ll take the Romney/Bernie approach.

Thank goodness this liar won’t have the chance to repeat their mistakes.

Enough of the pansy-men politicians!!!

Trump will clean her clock before she has that first bloody Mary of the day.

The longer I listen to Cruz the MORE full of $hit he sounds.

Time for Cruz to DROP OUT... GO AWAY!

This election was always intended to be another one of those ‘historic’ turns in Amerika, one in which we duly elected the 1st (supposedly) Female _resident. It would have been finer had it been a Bush losing to her/it. Since Ted is the last Est. Candidate standing it appears he is so happy to stand in. Of course Jeb Bush has only suspended his run, he can still stand in for Ted @ the convention. Follow the money, that’s where you’ll find Ted in the end.

Typica GOPe candidate. Put up there by the criminally loaded corporate GOP backers to lose to Hillary

Go tooth and nail against the GOP primary contenders family and all and fall apart to the socialist Muslim sympathizing America hating invasion happy “democrat” ushering in the new world order

My only question is how is Mark levin supporting this? What happened to him?
