And by the way, Cruz is not a Christian, a conservative or a constitutionalist.

We know Trump isn't a Christian either. Trump doesn't seem to understand the most basic principle of Christianity. That core being REPENTANCE. If a person thinks they don't need to ask for forgiveness, then it shows that their heart has not been changed.

As far as Cruz goes, I don't know for sure where his heart is, but he apologized to Carson, even though I don't think he had anything to apologize about (Carson's book tour was NOT a campaign). At least Cruz seems to understand the basics of Christianity.

As far as Cruz and conservatism. I'm not sure how anyone could interpret his record any other way. Unless Trump is the new standard of conservatism, which it seems he is these days. Trump is not my definition of conservatism. Is he conservative on some things? Yes, but certainly not the standard bearer. I don't know that any person in office is right now. My hope is not in Trump or Cruz.

And you know this exactly how?

At least Trump is not a certified liar like Ted is. And when Trump helped Carson in that awkward ABCNews debate intro, what he did was more Christian than what anyone else did on that stage.

Trump has done great things for people without seeking the limelight.

And do a little research, the Cruz Iowa Carson plan was a "go" two weeks before it happened, and it was the brainchild of Amanda Carpenter. Trump, the so called non Christian, was right about that also. Cruz apologized, but then if he did nothing wrong, why did he apologize? Even Carson saw through Cruz's insincerity.

As far as conservative goes,I would assume that means defending the Constitution, like defending Trump when his First Amendment rights were stripped by the crowd in Chicago, instead of blaming Trump for what happened.

Also defending the Constitution means understanding that you cannot be born a natural born citizen of two countries. You don't get to pick which one.

Conservative also means to me fighting Hillary hammer and tong, not saying, Oh, I won't go there when Hillary lays down the woman card.

What Trump has done for us is to strip the mask off of all the phonies on our side.

And Ted is as phony as them come.

Had me fooled last year, for sure.

But we are fighting old battles now.

We need to defeat Hillary, or whomever the Dems substitute for her later this year.

Trump is that person.

He has been vetted, and he has knocked out 16 other opponents, and shut the mouths of Vicente Fox and Pope Francis.

He saved us from Low Energy Jeb, Li'l Marco, and Lyin' Ted and Kooky Kasich from being the nominee.

And the primary season is not even over yet.
