This is most disheartening. I voted to send Cruz to the Senate. But for his operatives to go after Phyliss Shlafly (apparently with the approval and assistance of her daughter) simply because she endorsed the candidate of her choice is shameful, and if true Cruz is not the man I hoped and prayed he was. I liked Cruz because he fought for issues I cared about, so I'd give him a shot. And I liked Trump because in spite of his non conservative past, if he's willing to take the fight to Clinton and vanquish her I'd give him a shot. But the two best chances we stand are now busily, gleefully engaged in attempting to destroy each other in a monumental passing match when they both should unite for the good of the nation. Once again we will do the left's work for them and destroy ourselves. I freely admit to being out of my depth on the machinations of political chicanery. So what say you, Dearest Freepers?

Please look at the final section of data.

This shows that Cruz backers are the lowest income groups, of any Republican candidate backers.

Trump is far and away, the best.

Look for yourself:

I say Cruz has proven to be a weasel. I do not want him as President.

I have no respect for anyone that would be so disrespectful of Phyliss Shlafly. She has earned the right to endorse anyone she pleases.

No way to treat a Lady. Cruz needs to step up and call off his dogs.

Phyllis will always have my support.

You don’t take someone’s product and abscond with it, daughter or not.

You may not like what mom is doing, but you bite your lip and shut the —— up.

Phyllis had every right to support who she thought was best.
As the head of the organization, she had a right to do it on it’s behalf.

I happen to agree with her.

You pretty well expressed my own sentiments especially
when it comes to doing the Democrat’s job for them. We
just can’t give another term to the Rats.

Why not be honorable and resign?
Are these leeches too weak to form their own organization?

Let the old lady alone.

“Allies of Sen. Ted Cruz are now targeting conservative legend Phyllis Schlafly”

I liked Phyllis when Ted was an ignorant 8 year old. Easy choice here.

I walked shoulder-to-shoulder on the streets of Illinois towns, pushing doorbells and handing out literature with my friend Phyllis Schlafly and her troops of conservative women who had heeded her battle cry.

This was in the ERA battle decades ago, and she was the leading-light nationwide in defeating the liberal attempt to hijack the Constitution.

Phyllis was in attendance at one of our FReeper banquets in DC some years ago. She is a FOUNDING MOTHER of today's conservative movement. It's disgusting to hear of the foul take-over of her signature organization and of Cruz siccing his dogs on her in such a disrespectful fashion.

This goes back to Roe and Cruz being birds of a feather...or a pair of snakes in the grass. HE makes Karl Rove’s history of dirty tricks look like a practice run.

>This story offers a front row view into how Cruz allies operate throughout the conservative movement. They have aggressively pressured conservatives into publicly supporting the senator—or at least not supporting someone else—and even sought to “blacklist” those who don’t, so as to fit Cruz’s narrative of being the one candidate who the conservative movement “united” behind.

This is disgusting. These are nothing more than leftist tactics used against our own.

>They tried to make it look like Eagle Forum was endorsing Cruz. But Eagle Forum has not taken a position like that. And somebody leaked part of my calling list to the Cruz campaign. I know that because they called some of my best people and asked them to work for Cruz. The only way they could have gotten that calling list is getting it leaked by somebody who is not loyal to me.

I have met Phyllis on many occasions, and spoken at a half dozen Eagle Forum events. At first I was surprised at her endorsement of Trump, but then, as I thought about it, not at all.

This is superb reporting by Boyle. Fair to both sides with the full interview text often reprinted. Everyone should read this.

***they both should unite for the good of the nation. Once again we will do the left's work for them and destroy ourselves***

It seems to be emerging - IMHO - some sinsiter power is fracturing the conservative movement beyond repair, in order, I presume, to elect a Democrap, open our borders, destroy our sovereignty, dilute our currency, trample the constitution, demoralize our citizenry......

In 2000 I had enough facts in my own 'puter files to at least earn an indictment against Terry McAuliffe; now he is in major consideration for the position of VP for another seasoned gangster: Hildebeest Clintooon. sigh
