Dear Trump Supporters,
You say you don't support Ted Cruz because he's a liar (even though he backs up everything he says) and plays dirty politics (like sabotaging Dr Carson's run in Iowa). The former has been dealt with every time it's brought up. I want to deal with the latter definitively.
You say that Ted Cruz deliberately sabotaged Dr Carson in Iowa. However, it has been shown conclusively that Ted's team got the information from CNN who got the information from Dr Carson's team. If that hurt Dr Carson's results... show me one person who changed his vote because of that information. By now, someone should have come forward.
You want to know who is playing dirty politics? Your guy. I know many people who would like to vote for Ted Cruz but they don't think he's eligible due to the birther issue... because of your guy. There is a demonstrative level of support for Ted that is being suppressed by the allegation. Yet, the only definitive statement on the subject from an objective source (IL Board of Elections) has ruled in Ted's favor.
Your guy persists. Constitutional scholar that Donald Trump is, he persists with the birther comments and suppresses Ted Cruz's support. Oh wait... it's not because of the Constitution. Trump will drop it if Ted apologizes. Seriously? This isn't a Constitutional issue for Trump, it's personal... and that is his Achilles Heal. It's all personal for Trump.
You want to challenge Ted Cruz's eligibility? Do it. You simply want to keep the issue alive to hurt his campaign? That's just the usual dirty politics... and your guy isn't the paragon of virtue you claim.
So... put up or shove it.
Oh, the system isn't built for THAT per se - it's built to keep ALL the candidates on the Uniparty straight and narrow so that it doesn't matter who wins.
There is a coalition, composed of the media, the pollsters, the consultants, and the donor class which believes that they have assembled a machine to prevent another Reagan and to allow globalization to proceed unimpeded by US politics. Up until now, they have been very successful.
To my fellow Trump supporters......Calm Down
To the Establishment Trio (Jeb, Kasich & Rubio)supporters...........*#^%&*^%&#&% YOU!!!
I cannot represent all Trump supporters, but to me personally Cruz is my 2nd pick - I just prefer Trump. But as long as it is not a Establishment candidate I am ok.
Its come down to a knife fight, Trump has a good double digit lead I understand both sides are going to fire the cannons at point blank range. But I am not going to take it personally. In six months I expect the remaining candidates to be all pals again. Except Jeb, I expect he will run off to mamma and chill in a basement for a while.
Vitrol in a campaign is nothing new. It was the same 10 years ago, 50 and 150 years ago.
But in the last 20 years, I am sick and tired of the Republicians rolling over and playing dead for the Democrats and the liberal media. I know that reason alone is getting Trump and Cruz some points in their support.
Trump & Cruz are fighting to be the nominee. And to be honest, I am happy to see them FIGHT. So to those that want to cry and run off to mommy....there is nothing stopping you. DO you think for a minute after Hillary has stolen the nomination from Bernie she along with the Democrats and their media enablers are going to roll over and play dead? They will throw everything including the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes at the Republican candidate. That person better know how to fight and counter punch.
No. The tirades are coming from the unhinged attacks on a Constitutional Conservative. There was a time when he was exactly what FR wanted in a candidate. Now, so many are so fully invested in Trump, they will tear down a good man in defense. It makes me sick.
Ted’s a jerk, eh? Sorry.
Now I will add it does all depend on Hillry’s survival as the libs nomination... She could be in Ft. Leavenworth or in some private mental institution come November.
Let me just say I was for cruz in the beginning but then I began to see him differently, learning much more about him - his past and his wife and their associations with the past loans, the constant need and always asking for money and her work for sacks and the banks and her one world govt work, and his money needs and his PACs and the slimy associates hes got running them and dirty tricks, things a holier than thou “Christian” would really think twice about and would really want to distance themselves from, also his personality and inability to really work with anyone appears to be true, but the one thing about his canadian birth is when and what did he know and being such a smart lawyer surely he would have known that it was a problem and that he would’ve if possible done anything to remove the question before running “if” he could’ve...now is very obvious he couldn’t...so I switched to Trump!
In the beginning Trump had all the tools - the ability, the balls, the knowledge and never having been a politician before, loving his county, working hard and being successful...the desire to make a better country for his kids, grand kids and family. BUT...I now feel, especially since the SC debate and other actions and continuing statements in SC, that something with all of that in his mind has really changed him. It also has to do finally with the Scalia “murder”. Trump is powerful enough to know things we think we know but don’t know for sure. He knows who obama really is, but just like everyone else on the inside, politicians in DC, media and the other powerful that there is now no need to go back there. But I also think Trump had previously be given the hint and heads up that he was entering into shark filled waters wanting to be president even though he was not wanted there he still thought he had a chance to make a difference and live to see the out come and benefit to the country and his family.
But Scala’s murder and the “pillow on the head” is a message he can’t avoid seeing...so now maybe the more outrageous things he is now saying against the right, and acting a little more crazy and negative and the fights he’s picking just might cause him to “loose” SC or stop the momentum enough that he doesn’t win and he is all of a sudden not on top...then by his own prior statements he would not be seen as a coward to drop out but that he was now able to have “just seen the light” and decide that the political arena doesn’t really need him...because all of it is too far gone already.
Just some thoughts! Hope I’m wrong and we still get him to try for us...he is the one or was the only one in my opinion to have a chance to stir the pot enough and remix the future to give the country the big big turn around it must take NOW to continue as the original plan and not become socialist. But with Trump not playing and winning and the curse of Scalia’s death and obama’s control and the pussy reps...”well too many things ‘just’ falling into place” at the right time without extraordinary help is too hard to believe and can not be over come by anyone! Guns, freedom of speech, the ability to communicate like this on the internet are next!!!!
I can’t vote for Cruz because he has lady lips and wears tight ugly jeans that also make him look like a curvy lady. Go Trump! The media hates Trump, I hate the media. Again, Go Trump!
Seriously? Since when has Cruz been a "more of the same" guy in Washington, DC? At least be consistent. He's either hated by everyone or he's in cahoots.
There was a time when he was exactly what FR wanted in a candidate.
++++
Oily, foreign born?
The emails from Heidi starting "Ted doesn't know I'm sending this to you..." really crack me up.
And yet, so many here have pointed out these exact same rules and insisted that WE have to adopt them in order to push back and win...
Now one of us is doing exactly that.
Keep crying. We’ll keep winning.
Yes, good post!
Of course Ted lied. He lied about Trump's positions on Obamacare, 2nd amendment, illegals and eminent domain. What would be a shocker is if Cruz told the truth about anything. Cruz fans should ask themselves whether such a prolific liar would lie to them or not.
These are not issues of changing political opinions as one sometimes honestly evolves. Cruz has blatantly lied about others, lied about his votes and lied about his financing for his Senate run.
Again, these are not evolving political positions on issues, these are hard calculated lies that cover the scope of his public actions. Is it any wonder that folks who know him, don't like him.
Nixon was pure as snow and an Angel in comparison to almost everyone who followed him except Reagan! We have tow real criminal that did much much more in spades that the little cover up of dirty political tricks in trying to find out if the dems were using w certain whorehouse / prostitute ring in DC.
The last thing we need is another narcissistic egomaniac who thinks he deserves to be coronated or he'll take his ball and go home. You seem to have forgotten... we invited Ted Cruz to run. He was simply a Senator doing what he promised to do. We, his public, said that man should run for President.
And don't bring up the high school crap about wanting to be President... that's just school stupidity. My wife was voted "most likely to take over third world country." Haven't even sent in the first amphibious force yet.
The specter of original intent is bigger than Hillary’s ambition and every lib in the judiciary knows it.
+1.
Bravo!
Is that real?
Look I’m for Trump but I’ve got no problem voting for Cruz should he be the nominee! How about you, will you vote Trump if it’s him?
I was for going in myself. Whether there were WMD’s or not, the point is we couldn’t know until we went. There were initially some benefits too. Khadaffy started cooperating, and Iran even suspended their nuke program for a short time. The mistake was getting bogged down with “nation building”, pretending we could make the phony “nation” of Iraq a democracy. Once we were bogged down there was no way we could do anything about Iran. Ditto Afghanistan. Nation building where peoples first loyalty is to their tribe or ethnic group is a fools errand. The best you can hope for is to destroy the leadership and then play each faction off against each other.
Right now my biggest concern is that we are going to get into a war with Russia for no reason other than these fools want to look tough. When I hear Bush/Rubio/Kasich/Hillary talk about Al Qaeda allied jihadists as “the people we support” my stomach turns. They learned absolutely nothing from Iraq.
