A vote for Ted Cruz or, Marco Rubio is a wasted vote.

Posted on 02/26/2016 4:20:03 AM PST by JLAGRAYFOX

A vote cast for either Ted Cruz or, Marco Rubio is a wasted vote!!! This game is over. Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee. I will by pass the verbage played by the mainstream media & the GOP Establishment types last evening, right after the conclusion of said debate. While Rubio strived & Ted Cruz survived, neither will get much further then next Tuesday (Super Tuesday). Ted Cruz will either lose Texas to Trump or, he will barely squeak out a victory. Either way, he is finished. The political death knell for Rubio will come on March 15th....when Trump will slaughter him, politically, in his home state of Florida. For all the Cruz & Rubio ranitng and raving last night, neither of them did little to harm DJT.

In fact, Rubio, elected in 2010 has done very little for the citizens of FLORIDA, and Cruz, elected in 2012 has been more consumed in the last couple of years with himself and his POTUS ambitions, rather then caring for the citizens of the great Lone Star State of TEXAS. Both gentleman perfectly fit the bill of "all talk and, litte or no action!!! shucks, they both are hardly in the Senate to do any of the People's work.

Our country needs a major political overhaul and severe political housecleaning....both the Democrat & Republican Establishment structures need to defeated, in massive fashion....because they have all failed the American Republic and its people. Both Cruz & Rubio are prime & key examples of failed and owned politicans by donors, lobbyists & other political hacks. In their list of priorities......they come first, the American people come last. If you want the likes of Glenn Beck, Nikki Haley, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham & Jeb Bush as the political mentors of these deadbeat Senators...then be my guest and vote for them

Bootom line... Donald J. Trump stood his ground, showed his spine & tough mantra in cutting down the ex-Mexican President to shreds while Joe Biden, our VP bowed and begged for forgiveness from Mexican political leaders. Me....I'd rather have Donald J. Trump defending & making our countrygreat again,...rather then being whimpy political peons, like Cruz, Rubio & Biden are to crooked & criminal Mexican politicans.

Vote For Donald J. Trump, the next POTUS!!!

You do realize insulting his supporters may make you feel superior like Saint Cruz, but it is exactly why nobody likes him.

Trump does very well with high IQ people like himself.

Remember we are attempting to break the one party strangle hold on our country.

Maybe that's your goal, but I don't think there is a "one party stranglehold", no matter how much that phrase may be accepted by some others. Frankly, I think that whole theme is a pretty juvenile, facile analysis. Probably doesn't even qualify as analysis at all.

The real problem is a divided government and lack of national consensus as to how to proceed. Not a "uniparty". You have conservatives who want to go one direction, progressives who want to go another, and the squishy moderates who believe in "fixers", not in principle. And as long as that divide exists, all that's really going to happen is a bunch of compromises to keep things running that are going to piss off everybody.

Breaking that gridlock by destroying one of those parties does nothing but hand victory to the other. That's what you guys are advocating, and it is insanity. This election presented a chance for Republicans to win control of both Congress and the White House, and finally be able to actually reverse some of the damage Obama has done. All the stuff Republicans have been complaining about that wasn't happening because Obama controlled the White House, might have finally happened.

Instead, we get a populist temper tantrum to "destroy the GOP-E". Great timing, guys. But guess what? Nominating The Donald isn't going to make Maine or Illinois any more likely to elect non-moderate Republicans. And there is no party, structure or slate of candidates that The Donald is bringing to replace them -- it's just a cult of personality personal to him. That's just the electoral reality of the country.

So you guys can scream all you want about getting the RINO's out of Congress and destroying the Uniparty, but the net effect of that is going to be to give more power to Democrats. While you're tearing down the only organized opposition to the Democrats, they'll inevitably rally around their crummy candidate and Senate hopefuls, and kick our butts. Well, the rest of us apparently have failed to stop the lemmings from jumping off the cliff after their leader. Just don't expect the rest of us to follow.

I’d prefer a Caesar to a Caligula, which is what Clinton & Huma would be a combo of.

I know—it is hard to accept.

But Cruz is not who you think he is. It is a great ruse.

And the evidence mounts daily.

Cruz’s SuperPacs forced him to campaign with Glenn Beck and pretty soon they’re going to cut him off from the money very soon. You could see the panic in Cruz’s eyes last night.

Cruz promised his SuperPac donors that he would win South Carolina and Super Tuesday and it’s clear from the panic last night, his donors have told him that they are preparing to cut him off soon and get behind Rubio.

I’m sure you would prefer the man who saved Rome, but destroyed the republic, which is exactly what Trump would do to America.

...The rabid chihuahuas lost big last night.

Yes, the Chihuahuas were indeed frisky!  LOL. Here's the pretty boy and "lightweight choker".

Reading the forums is like watching a fight over a guy at Del Boca Vista because he can drive at night, and gets all the chicks.

Reports out this morning that Ted Cruz & Marco Rubio are in cahoots to undo the Trump POTUS run!!! These two gents will stop at nothing....but they will never undo Donald J. Trump!!! This game is over...either on next Tuesday evening or, if not then, certainly on March 15th!!! Anyone that believes otherwise is only fooling thmselves. The Republican Establishment Party is dying on the vine and, Trump will do exactly the same to Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Establishment Party.

The new “Trump” victorious political party and machine will include millions of Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, Reagan Democrats, Industrial Labor Union Members, First Responders, Hispanic Americans, African-Americans, Other Minorities, NRA Members, Small business Owners, and more Americans of all political stripes that are fed up with the totally failed American political system!!

As a loyal lifelong Republican Conservative since Barry Goldwater, my party has deserted & failed me one too many times. I now only have digust for most of them including John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney. Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc.

The only one I have respect for is John Kasich....who has done a standout job as Governor & Executive Officer of Ohio, who by the way, would make an excellent VP candidate for Donald J. Trump, IMHO!!! A massive political sea change is afoot in th USA, but sadly Rubio & Cruz are not part of it. They lie & our media lies!!! But....the vast numbers of the American voters are no longer hoodwinked by these phoney “would be leaders”...that only serve their own purposes!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!

As a Trump supporter, I find this distasteful. People should always cast a principled vote for the candidate of their choice in the primary.

That said, I don’t see a lot of correlation between FR principles and Rubio or Kasich, but there are many Cruz or Carson fans who prefer those approaches.

This thread is yet another of yours that makes me think you must be a paid campaign operative—for Cruz. You certainly do Trump no favors.
