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.
I liked Trump initially. He came on strong and said what everyone wanted to hear. I’ve since soured on him. Everyone I’m close to and everyone I work with seems to say the same thing.
I will vote for him if he wins the primary.
I’m not convinced he will. The GOPe are still plotting to oust the Donald and or Cruz from the nomination. Count on it.
I’ve always believed they’d attempt a brokered convention. Will see.
Until that time:
Cruz2016
Anybody but Colonel Hillary Sanders.
Thanks, Jim. I appreciate your weighing in. I’ll agree with your “Yes to Cruz ...” but can’t finish your sentence. :-)
Ok, but if you’re going to quote me, be truthful. Don’t misrepresent my position.
How does it make FR look?

Remember everyone, this too shall pass and the primaries will end....unless there is a brokered convention...then everyone’s screwed. :)

Thank you Webmaster!
You keep posting this. We are not a democracy. America is a Constitutional Representative Republic.
"Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death."
James Madison
"Well, Doctor (Ben Franklin), what have we got-a Republic or a Monarchy?"
"A Republic, if you can keep it."
Hoo-Ra!

moderator - chickens. Censorship. You suck. 18 plus years - I hurt peoples feelings? Limiting the # of Cruz supporters that can post. Trump is evil and you are following him into a hell hole.
Here's a Trump bash for you:
Feel free to steal it. :)
Don't tell the other cruzers that Cruz is my second choice. It'll ruin my rep around here. :)
I couldn’t vote for Trump under any circumstances, sadly...the longer this goes on the more I despise the guy ... he’s already reached Bill Clinton levels of doucheland uber alles. He’s spewing the old Ray McGovern / VIPS / Joe Wilson propaganda and in my book that makes him nothing more than Hillary’s backup plan.
Great conglomerate pic of Trump(s), BTW.
I stole it for later use.
Unlike you, I have a sense of humor, and I figure Trump can take care of himself.
You should try out that sort of thinking on FR - get a sense of humor, and just figure that Cruz can take care of himself.
We know how Trump will deal with illegal immigrants......(laughable). Can you clarify what Cruz’s position is and what will he do to fix it?
“My position is that I like Cruz in the primary, but if Trump wins the nomination Iâm all in for Trump in the general”
I feel exactly the same way.

Into the hard cider again tonight, are we?
A question for you Trump supporters: Do you agree with Marie? Is it okay for your candidate to employ Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"? Does her contention that "WE have to adopt them" comfort you?
Hell Yes. Adopt them, use them, exceed them, do whatever it takes to win.
Comfort? Who's looking for comfort? We don't need politicians to give us comfort! We all have God or our own religions for that. Or family. Or booze. Or whatever gets you through the night.
Do you even know anything about Alinsky, or just that he was one of the bad guys we despise? The idiot was not even remotely intelligent, and his "rules" were written for dopey low-IQ baby boomers 1/3 his age who he apparently envied around Chicago. A classic over-rated character and a giant among fellow dwarfs, who by comparison made him look like some kind of authority. In the real world he was insignificant.
His rules are nothing more bite-sizes plagiarized restatements of his heroes such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, and too many others to list. He was accurate only about the obvious, and that is that we can easily be threatened into submission. And you know why? He anticipated those on our side who like you apparently, insist on appealing to our own morality to keep above the fray and not stoop to their level. That is a recipe for disaster.
So enough with the gentlemanly, Queensberry rules and turn the other cheek dogma. What is needed in war is a lot less new testament and a whole lot more old testament. If you turn your back or cheek or anything else for that matter to the enemy, then only one thing should be expected to happen ...
Nice lesson on government. But not really the point of my post. In our Republic we use democratic processes to elect representatives, one of which is the President. 50+1. It’s all about demographics. Close the border.
Liberals get away with misusing terms. Conservatives don’t. We need to be precise.
