I am a Trump supporter but I would like to know if Cruz's comments about Chicago changed the mind of any of his supporters. Is it A) no difference I still support Cruz B) I am rethinking my support for Cruz C) I am now going to support another candidate or not voting?

We were working on transforming the party by electing Tea Party people like Cruz. Now you’re abandoning them for a New York liberal Democrat who’s conning the party by telling them what he thinks they want to hear.

I am for Trump. Cruz WAS the only other candidate I might’ve been able to support. If not for POTUS, then SCOTUS, etc. Now, I’d like him to lose his Senate seat too. He and Kasich are GOPe to the core, and Kasich is just more obvious. I wonder how regretful Cruz and Kasich may feel today after their embarassingly arrogant strategic blunder with each of them pointing their opportunistic fingers at Trump per the Chicago fiasco. That is, the proof just keeps coming - as if it was needed - showing how moveon.org and Bernie Sanders orchestrated this lovely event of communists, racists, illegals, mooch parasites, terrorists, Ayers, MSM and just ,in general, complete Aholes. Even Rubio was halfway honest in his assessment. Hell, even Hillary was less opportunistic than Cruz. Cruz has done all he can to paint himself as an outsider based mostly on the fact that Congress doesn’t like him, but he is now exposed entirely as an insider all the way. I really thought he was smarter than this, but he is instead apparent another puppet taking advice from the likes of some of my favorite betrayers of the voters - Rove, Magic underwear Mitt and Creepy Neil Bush. I guess both Cruz and Kasich believe if either of them were a frontrunner, then these so-called protests would not occur at their rallys. Apparently, Cruz and Kasich are against freedom of speech, since a protest is one thing, but disruptive racist violent thuggery is another thing altogether.

Over the last couple weeks I’ve gone from undecided to leaning towards Cruz because I felt he was more conservative. I’m back to undecided. When conservatives are physically assaulted by leftist brownshirts, all of the candidates should unify behind the victims, not make excuses for the attackers.

With Ted Cruz and his supporters, the stabbing never stops.

Do you know those nasty Trump people keep telling those compassionate #Blacklivesmatter advocates that ALL LIVES MATTER? And illegal aliens and Muslims from a part of the world where we are at war need to be sent home?

I know it because the signs and the writing on the t-shirts of the rioters made it clear exactly what upset them.

How could Trump hold those upsetting positions and say such mean things?

I still think Cruz and Trump are by far the two best options we have—though neither is perfect.

I long wanted a Trump/Cruz ticket because I didn’t think Cruz could win outright without slipping in after being VP.

But now I am convinced that Cruz is a GOPe shill, just as W ultimately was. W thought he learned how to fool the base by playing up his tough-Texan act, and Cruz has double-talked as the far-right outsider in an escalation of that strategy.

Moreover, Cruz is willing to hand the nomination over to the GOPe in a floor fight, rather than let Trump win. So no, Cruz is not dedicated to the cause, he is dedicated to his own ambition—and, as we’ve seen, he’ll pull dirty tricks to try to get his way.

Trump might insult, but he fights very, very fair and clean.

I trust him much more than Cruz at this point.

Heidi-Ho Heidi Ho!!!

Minnie The Mooncher Lyrics

Hey folks,
here’s the story ‘bout Minnie the Moocher,
She was a low-down Hoochie Koocher,

She was the roughest toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale,

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hil
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi),
Hodey odey odey oh,
(Hodey odey odey oh),
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee,
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee),
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho),

She messed around,
with a bloke named smokey,
She loved him though he was cokey,

He took her down to Chinatown,
And showed her how to kick,
the gong around,

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi),
Whooooooooaaaap!,
(Whooooooooaaaap!),
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee,
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee),
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho),

She had a dream,
about the King of Sweden,
He gave her things,
that she was needin’,
He gave her a home,
built of gold and steel,
A diamond car,
with the platinum wheels,

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi),
Hodey odey odey Hodey odey odey oh,
(Hodey odey odey Hodey odey odey oh),
Scoodley-voo-scoodley-voo-scoodley-scoodley-scoodley-voo,
(scoodley-voo-scoodley-voo-scoodley-scoodley-scoodley-voo),
Stitlistitlistitli-vootoozooy-stitlistitlistitli-vootoozooy,
(Stitlistitlistitli-vootoozooy-stitlistilistitli-vootoozooy),

He gave her is townhouse,
and his racin’ horses,
Each meal she ate,
was a dozen courses,
Had a million dollars,
worth of nickels and dimes,
She sat around,
and counted them all a million times,

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi),
Hodey odey odey oh,
(Hodey odey odey oh),
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee,
(Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee),
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho,
(Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho),

Just heard that a quarter of Cruz’s Twitter followers unfollowed him in the last 15 hours.

“Starting fires instead of discussing policy, then whining about smoke in your eyes is so Trump.”

He has not started a fire or attacked anyone racially, ever. He has said nothing abusive. The only thing he has done is speak the truth as many of us see it.
He dared say something they didn’t want to hear, that’s it.

So they riot and you blame him. Shameful.

There is plenty of Cruz support still. Folks are just afraid to say so.

Should folks be allowed to carry at Trump rallies?

I could argue either side at this point.

How do we get out of this mess and clean up the criminality of Hillary and Soros?

LOL, trump is ANYTHING BUT serious about stopping Cheap Labor. He’s all for legal immigration. In 2012 he told Fox we have to be compassionate and not deport good illegals, the same position as Rubio had at that time (see video below). Even now he’s saying he’ll bring back in the good ones after deportation.

If you think a billionaire businessman isn’t going to have business-friendly policies that give Mark Zuckerberg and everyone else all the cheap foreign labor they want, as Trump said he would do in the debate, you’re not thinking straight.

Trump knows how to make a deal, tell the other party exactly what they want to hear and then pull the switcheroo on them later.
