care whether Trump is conservative or not. You just want somebody to shake things up. It’s bizarre.


No. I don’t want to be given the shiny toy of picking the most conservative guy that either won’t win or is bought. I don’t want to be a tool of the oligarchy any more.

Why don’t you get it? It’s late... Trying to come up with a good analogy...

You go boating with Trump and Cruz in a big yacht in the ocean. You fall overboard. There are no flotation devices. Which man do you want to jump in to save you? Cruz has all kinds of great equipment like ropes and horns and stuff but he can’t swim. Trump doesn’t have any equipment but he’s a great swimmer.

Bad analogy but it is all can think of tonight. Cruz at this time is unable to attempt to save the country. Even though he is a true blue conservative. Trump has a chance, no one can be sure, of being able to turn this around; he’s made all the right enemies. But he does not have strong conservative creds.

Trump has strong liberal creds. I think you are as misinformed as Rubio. Ted can swim. He’s just not an arrogant blowhard about it.

This is my view of Cruz. An honorable man, but does not have the mojo to win in the General. He does not inspire. His ideas inspire, but he is not a natural leader. He does not have that aura. (Although he tries to wear a halo—sorry I couldn’t resist)

Trump is playing the battering ram. He’s curt, abrupt and has a mound of shortcomings-of all this I will admit. But he is the only non-GOPe candidate that has a sliver of a chance to get through the fraud that will be the RNC convention. Can you imagine, it will be 1968 double. Both on the R and D side. Cruz will have no chance in hades to get through what is planned at the convention. He won’t even have enough delegates to get the first ballot. But suppose that he did...the RNC plans to change the rules so the the delegates are not bound on the first ballot and plan to do a secret ballot to insure the outcome. Rule 37 I understand. Cruz will sulk and go back to the senate. Trump on the other hand will be like an enraged bull and probably rip the whole establishment apart and then launch a nationwide write-in campaign.
