I think it’s time we focus on Trump v. Hillary.

...

This is about Trump vs Hillary. The two big clowns need to be brought in line so they don’t hurt Trump’s chances. The convention was the line in the sand and they crossed it. I imagine these big donors will be funding the Super Pacs to oppose Cruz and Kasich very soon. They are going to find out that their loyalty to the Bushes and Romney is no longer in their best interests. Trump controls the party now, thank God.


Exactly. The never Trumpers have been tantruming for months and colluding to depress support for Trump. Trump made efforts to get them on board: policy speeches, judge list, Pence selection, etc. We will never successfully engage the MSM/Dem tag team while getting sucker punched from behind.

This is at time for choosing and there are only two choices for Republicans. Get on the Trump Train now or get lost (shut up). Any “Republicans” defacto campaigning for Hillary should be threatened with political destruction. Too much is at stake in this election and too many Americans have died from Democrat policies to play footsie any longer with these GOP traitors.

“I hope I live long enough to see the slimeball traitor, Ted Cruz fade to oblivion.”

You won’t, and neither will I. Our great grandchildren will be talking about what a traitor this guy was, fifty years from today.

Better doublecheck that website. The item about Ted Cruz has been crossed out.

There are 100 news cycles left until the election.

Do you want to spend them on Trump attacking Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, etc...

Or Trump attacking Hillary?

This article is from an interview is from MSNBC.

I know what their choice is.

This is flamebait.

And this is going to help Trump win how?

Who do you think the NY Times is going to endorse? Can you imagine the possibility that this rag wants to keep the heat on Cruz to keep it off Hillary?

Get a hold of yourself and focus. It’s time to fight HILLARY!

The website crossed it off their list. Go there and see for yourself.

If, God forbid, Trump should lose, it will be because his supporters didn’t fight Hillary due to the continued war against Cruz.

There is only so much time and energy - why do you want to waste it on a man who has already been defeated? This is insanity!

Flamebait? Hardly. It’s has to be unprecedented in U. S. political history for a donor who gave $10 million dollars to publicly tell that candidate to die in fire.

After months and months of never Trump tantrums it’s far better to have a news cycle or two of Cruz being politically waterboarded then weeks on end of “will Ted Cruz endorse Trump?”. It appears Cruz is already backtracking from his speech and I assume we will have a resolution shortly. Either Cruz will publicly call for party unity under Trump or disappear from this election season. Either solution is fine for Trump. What we don’t want is another primary while he is fighting the general. That is a guaranteed defeat.

Yeah, the months and months of tantruming never Trumpers campaigning and conspiring to depress support for Trump would have nothing to do with a Trump defeat. It would be his supporters fault. Got it.

You said, “Teddy is as shady as his old man.”

And I shout...TED IS SHADIER THAN HIS SHADY OLD MAN!!

We clearly dodged a bullet, unlike JFK, pun absolutely intended.

The Cruz’s are both lying scum con men. Ted learned from his father to lie and deceive people. Ted is a faux evangelical conservative spewing fraud and Texas needs to kick him out.

His Goldman Sacked wife deserves every greasy part of him.

Prayers up for the two little daughters. Hope that the poisonous corrupted seed and sin of the fathers skips over the two of them.

Nope, I am standing and fighting the rampaging Dems here in the battleground state of Florida. OTOH, Ted Cruz and the rest of the never Trumpers have treasonously chosen to go AWOL. Unforgivable. After dozens of Americans are killed Orlando, Dallas and Baton Rouge Rafael Edward Cruz can not put country above person issues? How pathetic is that?

Thanks for your reply.

It was a vitriolic, gutter-brawl, divisive primary. The convention ended Thursday. Hillary’s starts hers next week.

It’s time to point our guns outward.

This isn’t going to be a fight. The two clowns are going to get steamrolled if they don’t get in line really soon.

Know thine enemy.

Cruz is a destructive force, not to be trusted.

Like a venomous snake, ignore him at your peril.
