“What is everyone here going to fight about now?”

Whether or not Trump should adopt a ‘respectful tone’ in the campaign against Hillary.

How do you call someone a liar for six months and say he’s the biggest liar you’ve ever seen and then say he’s just the guy I want for my administration?

Now that it’s over, I think Trump people might give Cruz kudos for going down punching.

Trump speaking now, but I don't think he'll speak about Senator Cruz' campaign. Maybe tomorrow. Many Americans still have basic etiquette.

Love those gals!

Oh and Ted, can I please have a cabinet position when you name one? It’d look nice on my resume.

Cruz had a rather nice concession speech. Hopefully, he will learn from this election that allying with the GOP-e is never acceptable, and will return to being a force for conservatism within the Senate. If he atones for the sins he has committed against conservatism in the name of self interest, perhaps he can be a great 2024 candidate.

yep , I agree , I would love to see Mr. Trump mend a few bridges with former R rivals , including Cruz and Rubio and their supporters . It’s been a street fight , like none I have ever seen .

I wan t to see him remain just as tough and abrasive towards the Clintons however . I hope he repeatedly rips her a new one . I hope his people are doing extremely comprehensive opposition research on her/them

Right now , Mr. Trump , making very nice remarks about Senator Cruz

Well either way they despise Capitalism and the free market system..they want freebies. See that “May Day” protest in Seattle, they hate Capitalism but love their iPhones and video games, neither would exist without a Capitalist society. Let them move to Venezuela or North Korea for ONE WEEK see how much they love those “Freebies” then..Bernie Sanders is not only a Socialist, but he despises Israel, that scares me more than his Socialist beliefs

“This is not a generation that wants to meld into a faceless nameless Commune.”

Nor would they have the discipline and physical stamina. Every communist nation has been essentially a military dictatorship, with lots of extra hard labor ‘volunteered’ by mandate. Also morally rigid in many ways. The internet rationing alone would drive the Fauxsheviks to throw down their lattes in rage.

I supported Cruz until I found out he is a serial killer. Seriously. A Trump supporter told me so.

**** “Trump has totally destroyed Cruz. Personally, professionally and politically. It’s sad that this has come to be the successful tactic in this country” ****

Trump did none of that! Cruz did it all to himself! What is sad that you believe it. I was a Cruz supporter, I supported him for President before he ran for the Senate! Then I watched him turn on Trump after we were having our Trump / Cruz lovefest ... Cruz took the first shot and Trump responded/counterpunched
It is when Cruz started losing me, he’d say something deny it and then bitch about Trump trashing him. I watched this whole thing in REAL TIME.
Trump is just Trump... he didn’t hunt down Ted Cruz and destroy him... he just put a flashlight on him and said “Watch This” and Cruz proceeded to destroy himself.

Yep, exactly why they really aren't going to support Communism.
