And I'm sure you include in paying bribes good Republicans approving Barry's budget and never stepping up to stop his spending.

When I was a kid a neighbor ran a small appliance repair shop and paid some guy named Guido who represented the "local merchants" $20 a month so he wouldn't have any problems. He did it because he wanted to stay in business and anything else would amount to putting yourself out of business or, at best, waiting years for lengthy processes to make up for a portion of what you lost.

That's how it works in a corrupt town so if some guy pays whoever is running for office and asks for a contribution, I understand that and don't read any sort of support that's not there into it.

So, you cast the stones good fella, but reality is one thing and theory is another.

Quite the opposite! You Cruz guys will be doing that, since Cruz will be mathematically eliminated in a couple of weeks but still intends to drag the nomination process into the convention if he can.

CASE CLOSED! Snap it down!

When it is laid out like this, who needs paragraphs?!!

Try and associate any of these measures to Cruz and it’s a strain.

TRUMP has been beating his chest, and ours, bellowing for every single one of these COMMON SENSE measures.

I missed this Jim Gem List completely! Thank you LL, for posting it.

” Filling stadiums is a prerequisite to being elected president.”

Shamu the killer whale fills stadiums at Sea world. Is he eligible to be President?

He has, "contributed" (ie. bought) any politician who could grease skids for him for his entire life.

If you go to...www.opensecrets.org...you will see that most American business have also paid "protection money"....unfortunately.

“Donald is rich.” That’s a popular one.
“Donald has a beautiful wife”. OK
“Donald is filling stadiums”. About as relevant as the first two in determining whether Donald is a limited government conservative at the core.

If Donald was my candidate I would try to deflect the conversation to trivialities as well.

********************************************************

1. I was addressing specifically the point the poster made about filling stadiums. It was not about Trump. Can you read?

2. I have heard Trump talk, over a period of about thirty years, about various subjects, such as trade agreements, American decline. He has not changed his talk at all. There is a Oprah interview of him made in 1988 on You Tube. You can check that out. Except for his youthful appearance, he could have made that talk yesterday.

3. “Donald is rich” is not used as a qualification for the presidency that I have ever seen on this site.

4. Same goes for his beautiful wife.

5. Trump’s ability to fill stadiums is a key factor to notice, since Cruz cannot. He has been credited with record voter turn out this election cycle.

6. Cruz’s voting records and position stances show him to be a globalist. There is nothing in TPA that limits government. There is nothing conservative in voting for the Corker bill. There is nothing conservative in calling for a 500% increase in H1-B visas, for calling for an increase in immigration, for saying that our immigration system is broken, etc.

7. All in all, you are the one deflecting the conversation. Maybe you can explain to us all why Cruz refuses to release his U.S. citizenship verification documents. As the expression has it, when you are trying to hide something, you have something to hide.

8. Now we can all wait for you to respond, by way of answer, with another attack on Trump supporters.

All three of them employees of The Cheap Labor Express.

We got rid of our weasel, I’m hoping the citizens of Wisconsin Cantorize the weasel Paul Ryan.

McCarthy is from CA so it’s probably unlikely to Cantorize him. Not enough citizens left there.

Oh, and Trump was spending his own money while all the good Republicans are spending yours. Which, apparently, you're alright with since you figure Trump is somehow worse than the SOBs in Congress, Cruz included, who are kissing Barry's butt seven days a week and probably twice on Muzzie Friday.

Like Shamu, DT is an entertainer that gets an audience

DT also gets the most votes, the most delegates, and wins the most states--by far. There is a whale of a difference between DT and Shamu.

Reality is you can’t call one guy a lying crooked politician and give the other a pass. A crooked politician is no worse than a crooked businessman!!!

I think Trump is just as bad as they are since he helped put a lot of them in office. People like him put them in office so he can skate and send the bill to us!!

Cruz only provided four years of 1040s, i.e., partial returns. Nothing else. Hillary has provided complete returns with all schedules. Have you looked at Cruz’s returns?

Cruz is another Mitt. 85% of the country knows that.

Ted Cruz can thank Sarah Palin for his senate seat.

"I know enough not to use ‘y’all’ in the singular."

I knew y'all ain't from Texas. "Y'all" IS singular. "Y'alls is plural.
