Trump or Cruz.
The rest want to give the Democrats a permanent majority.
You will have to commit national suicide without my vote.
Hope you where trying to be funny. National suicde without your vote. A little melo dramatic don’t you think? I could vote for Trump or Cruz. Your position is counter productive but great talking points.
Not at all.
Amnesty will give the Democrats a permanent majority.
Republic over.
Yeah right. Being hearing that for a while.
