Why NH Should Vote for Ted Cruz and not Donald Trump
Granite Grok ^ | February 7, 2016 | Steve MacDonald

Ted Cruz knows that you are the best hope for saving America. But to do that you need a president willing to get the government out of the way so that you can.

"... just like the left, Donald Trump's solutions are all built on the "smarts" of certain gifted people and then empowering those people to navigate the world for the masses. By contrast Ted Cruz' campaign is built on the strength of a set of ideas, where rights, power and responsibility belong to every citizen, not just the gifted few. This is the self-governing model our nation was founded upon, which produced the most free and prosperous nation in history.

America does not merely need "smart" people to try to run our unworkable government and guide every aspect of our lives; America needs to return to smart ideas. A great step in that direction would be teaming up with Ted Cruz who, more than any other candidate still running, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to limiting government corruption the only way possible - limiting government. Unlike most candidates this election, Ted Cruz has never promised to be the savior of America, rather he always points to the ideas that made America."

And Ronald Reagan never created a single job in private sector all by himself. And during his 8 years the national debt exploded. Trump has created hundreds of thousands of jobs all by himself in PRIVATE SECTOR, without spending tax payer money.

Talk is cheap. Action speaks louder. Trump has no need to take a back seat to anyone. He has created more jobs all by himself than all the 44 presidents COMBINED. Put that in your ganja pipe and smoke it.

Cruz cannot possibly win the Presidential election. I like him, but there’s no way he can win.

I don't think his most fervent fans care about that. Fervor overcomes reason.

An ironic sentence given the context of who "Ted" is and how he chose to conduct this campaign.

Zuckerberg does not have the personality to win any election. He can not resonate with voters. Most Billionaires I observe have the same problem. They could not hold a 30,000 people audience loving them with 2 hour speeches without a teleprompter. Trump is extremely unique candidate.

Keep in mind, Bernie is doing well in spite of not accepting multi-million dollar contributions from the uber rich and Wall Street. So it is not impossible.

Despite Cruz^s attacks on his party^s donor class and establishment, the Texas senator Ted Cruz^s GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors.

The Wilks family of Cisco, Texas, New York hedge fund tycoon Bob Mercer, Texas energy investor Toby Neugebauer and Illinois manufacturing moguls Dick and Liz Uihlein.

Based on what?

Michael Medved told him so. And he heard it from President Romney and President McCain.

Romney does not have the personality to resonate with people.

Neither does Trump. He is viewed unfavorably by nearly 60% of the electorate. That means he will be a catastrophic nominee if (God forbid) Republican voters are stupid enough to go that route.

Bull crap. Only idiots cannot see that Trump is the only choice.

Only choice for what? Is there a US Department of Casino Management? He's suitable for that position, but not president.

Well, you’ve certainly proven that they won’t ban you for your blatant insults and intellectual dishonesty.

“...Ted Cruz’s GOP campaign has received $37 million from just four donors...”

So what? I disagree that only billionaires should be allowed to run for President.

Got anything else?

“...Donors own candidates...”

False. Donors do not own candidates. However, they *do* donate to a candidate that they support in the hopes the candidate will win because they prefer the candidate’s policies and positions.

-However-

Billionaires bribe politicians and mobsters illegally.

Did you miss the first sentence?
Read it again.
Hint...smacks of hypocrisy.

I never said only Billionaires should run for president.
What I really want is eliminate all money in politics.
Shorten the advertising period to 60 days before election.
Give all candidates polling above 5% same amount of money to get their message out, funded by tax payers. Unions or any other institution will not be allowed to push any candidates or party.

But until that happens, I prefer candidates NOT IN THE POCKETS of uber rich donors.

And to drive the point home about trumps greasey bribery:

From: www.nationalreview.com

(Trump) The "Anti-Establishment" Candidate Boasts about His History of Bribing Politicians

"...No, my point is that Trump is a crony-capitalist pillar of the "broken system," and his thumb has mainly been on the Democrats' side of the scale... ...I couldn't care less whether he's indictable. I'm trying to understand how the consummate pro-Democrat insider gets to be electable -- as a Republican, and in an election that's supposed to be all about the outsiders..."

That's a great question? How *DOES* trump - with his long, sordid, open-book, "NYC-Values" history (to the left on bribes, abortion, gun-control, property rights... etc), all of a sudden become a conservative republican?

How do you rationalize and/or explain that?

Me too! That's why I like Cruz. He's been consistent regardless of donors. So, by your logic at least in Cruz's case - I don't know about other candidates - Cruz's donors have "owned" him to make him do what he was going to do anyway as a conservative? Or do you have an example where Cruz did a 180 based on a donor?
