“we can only wonder... maybe Bernie is gonna eliminate Hillary?”

My personal ‘tin foil’ theory is that Obama and the powers that be on the left have been waiting to see how the primaries play out before making a decision on whether or not to green light a Hillary indictment. The more Sanders wins, the more likely the indictment - or so my theory goes..

It is great to see there is still something called We The People.

Ted Cruz did the right thing. Thanks Ted. It was the right thing to do at the right time.

NOW, the focus is HILLARY!

His speech was classy and dignified. I can forgive Senator Cruz for his Kasich/Fiorina machinations, but he did fight to the bitter end.

Hope he mends some fences and makes it to SCOTUS.

Thank you Senator Cruz, for being the standard bearer for full-spectrum conservatism in this primary season.

Congratulations to Mr. Donald Trump, your campaign answered a cry for someone new and outside the process, and is willing to fight hard. I believe you love America, and I look forward to you continuing your mastery of keeping the media from stopping any challenge to the leftist Democrat nominee.

This is excellent news, as now the Republican Party can concentrate on healing its relatively small differences, and focusing on defeating Hillary Clinton.

Congratulations to Ted Cruz, who in his mid-forties beat 15 of his 16 opponents. I am glad that he ended this campaign on a high note, describing not only what has been great about this country, but his hope and dream 2 restore a lot of those things in the future. I do believe that he should have left the race earlier, probably after last week at the latest. However, he is now done, and all of this is history.

We must now look forward, and the most important thing that Republicans and conservatives can do is to defeat Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. They are the enemy, not somebody who agrees with 70 or 80% of what you would like to see as policy. Donald Trump is probably not anybody’s idea of an ideal candidate in theory; however, he may be the best thing that happened to this country at this particular time, because he is probably the only person who has the resources, the sheer guts and the sheer will to defeat Hillary Clinton at all costs.

Congratulations most of all to Donald Trump and his campaign. While it has not been the smoothest ride, Donald Trump has captured the imagination of people in a way that I have not seen since Ronald Reagan was running president in 1980. No, they are not the same. But Trump has that same gift 2 put his finger on what is bothering the American people, and to provide Solutions. Now as then comma we are suffering from a national malaise brought about by leftist policies and an unimaginative Democrat president who has contempt for the opinions and the feelings of average Americans. That is not a good combination when facing someone like a Reagan or a Trump.

Onward to Victory!

Trump has totally destroyed Cruz. Personally, professionally and politically. It’s sad that this has come to be the successful tactic in this country. The allegations that Trump partisans have made of serial adultry, lying, attacks on his wife and even his children (little trained monkeys) and all the rest. Cruz should quit the Senate and go with a good law firm, that is if Trump doesn’t deport him.

I prefer NEITHER of the commie leftists
Hillary nor Bernie

but just looking at the race...
Hillary’s support is about an inch deep ... and she has tons and tons of political baggage..... while Bernie has much more support and his people are genuinely committed to his campaign

Bernie might very well stop Hillary. She’s a loser to the D party and the party brass (even those bought sold and paid for by Hillary) know it.

hopefully, the D’s will find a much more saleable and decent candidate.....?

He is probably kneeling on a rug with the knife poised with its tip on his belly. And Stu behind hind with a sword.

And they are just waiting to get the word from Gawd.
