Meaningless because Trump is a businessman and every traitor knows money comes before country.

While I know that all “news people” are unbiased, it almost seems like this guy is leaning towards Cruz.

When has Trump worked with “very different people” to accomplish things? Different in what way? As different as Rubio was from Schumer when they worked together to accomplish Gang of Amnesty?

Cruz accomplished a shutdown to protest Obamacare which led to a massive Tea Party sweep in the mid-term.

"When has Trump worked with “very different people” to accomplish things?" Trump has formed companies and worked with Labor, Liberals, Conservatives, Zoning Boards, etc., to accomplish large projects. He has been the chief executive for 40 years. He's done this not only all across the US, but also internationally. "Cruz accomplished a shutdown to protest Obamacare which led to a massive Tea Party sweep in the mid-term." Yes he did. We still have Obamacare. His fellow Senators didn't accomplish anything. I would not credit Cruz with the Tea Party sweep. Cruz is a good man, though flawed. Trump is a good man, though flawed. Both are better than Bernie and Beasty.

My God. I had no idea Obamacare fizzled out due to Cruz. Lord what a joke. He didn’t accomplish anything from that filibuster. Sarah Palin is the reason for the Tea Party Sweep.

Principled stands are for suckers. Better to cave to politics and image.

Trump —> Next president of the United States

Cruz —> Next Supreme Court Justice

It’s not the outcome I would have preferred, but it looks increasingly likely based on Iowa turnout. Besides, Cruz could be the best Justice in a hundred years, and we need that almost as much as we need the best possible president.

TED, INTEGRITY.... TRUMP, political cronyism

Trump boast publicly that, as a very savvy business man, he, in plain English, bought politicians in order to use then whenever he needed their services and favors . That is the reason he gave $250,000 to the Clinton scam Foundation in addition of very generous political donations to the Clintons, la Pelosi, Reid, the communist Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, and many other, mostly corrupt leftist Democratic politicians.

JJ thinks everyone else here is at least as stupid as he is; it’s why he always posts such stupid crap.
