If we have NO BORDERS, NO JOBS, NO SECURITY, and UNLIMITED IMMIGRATION——then nothing else matters. Vote Trump.

You know I like and respect you.
You’re one of the ones who make Free Republic the best Conservative site on the net, but could you please let up on the Trump attacks just a bit?

As a native Texan, you know I’d like one of our own as president, but I have thoroughly researched Cruz’ background, and found him unsuitable.
Have you thoroughly researched him?

The longed for revolution against corrupt politicians and the corrupt administration who has stolen our country from us is here. Now is our chance to act. At last we have a nominee for president who hears and understands our anger and frustration. That man is Donald Trump.
At last we have a nominee who is not PC crippled, a fighter- a man who is owned by no one. A man who hears the voice of We the People, and is willing to stand up and fight for us- a man who is non establishment, but is one of us. Our voice.

On the other hand, we have Cuban-Canadian Ted Cruz.

(If any of these links are dead, just google the subject.
Numerous, numerous articles from excellent sources)

Alumni, roommates, law clerks, former staffers in the George W. Bush campaign and White House (and the president himself), members of Congress and others who have known Cruz — lots and lots of people — consider him socially awkward, nasty, dishonest.
Most term him a blatant apple-polisher and all-around creepy guy. You can write off a few of these critics as jealous of his success, or liberal antagonists, but all of them? There is something badly amiss here. Cruz, who so obviously lacks emotional intelligence, cannot recognize it, but those closest to him surely must see that something is awry...

Don’t you think there MUST a good reason WHY Cruz is so disliked and mistrusted?

Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen:

The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes.
Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he’s been more like the no-show senator.
The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business.
He’s skipped the vast majority of Armed Services Committee hearings, is below-average in attendance on his other major committees and ranks 97th during the first three months of this year in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. ... -Read more: Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen

Cruz can’t be bothered to show up for the job he was elected to do!

Cruz wants to cut our Senior’s Social Security benefits- when most of them are the poorest of the poor. Donald does not: (I know: SS may not have been the best idea, but what is, is. Seniors paid into SS their whole working lives, they can’t afford to have it cut!
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/01/31/this-presidential-candidate-wants-to-cut-social-se.aspx

Cruz is a member of a radical religious cult (Father speaks in ‘tongues’):

In a sermon last year, Rafael Cruz said that his son is among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society. This is a Christian dominionist agenda that’s commonly called the “Seven Mountains” mandate: (1) Business; (2) Government; (3) Media; (4) Arts and Entertainment; (5) Education; (6) Family; and (7) Religion. If “Seven Mountains” is too abstract, “Creeping Christofascism” puts a much finer point to it.
http://aattp.org/flashback-rafael-cruz-calls-son-ted-cruz-an-anointed-king-responsible-for-the-end-time-transfer-of-wealth/
Cruz’ father let a man speak in his church who stated homosexuals should be killed! (I’m against them, but KILL THEM???)

Cruz flip-flops on amnesty and illegal invaders.
Ted Cruz only talks tough on immigration now because he did so badly in S.C. He is in favor of amnesty and weak on illegal immigration.

Cruz has sold his soul to the corrupt establishment.

What if he is disqualified at the last minute because he is not eligible, having been born in Canada?

This is only the tip of the iceberg.

Please give all this some consideration.

Thank you

When he was running for his Senate seat, he KNEW, word for word what constitutes a NBC and told a caller in, to an interview show, in Texas, what it REALLY is.

Now he claims it is something completely different and what it isn't ! Lyin' Ted is a FRAUD and a LIAR!

Policies like Pushing TPP, drafting NAFTA, Doubling the Number of Syrian Muslims coming in without checking to see if they are ISIS, increasing H1B visas by 500 percent, Voting for the Corker bill, pushing Judges like Roberts, taking the side of BLM protestors against police. Blaming Muslim terror attacks on opponents, etc.

Or is it where he was for Amnesty, not building the wall, global trade as normal etc until his opposition showed opposing them was an acceptable position?

Letter to Trump Supporters: The Principles and Person of Ted Cruz, and the Political Realities for Donald Trump
Posted April 04, 2016
It does my heart good to see millions of Americans rising up and boldly proclaiming that we are DONE with Washington politics as usual.

I Get it, But Tell Me Who You’re For
Posted March 17, 2016
The “anybody but Trump” efforts are noble and worthy. There is no doubt that Donald Trump’s MO, temperament, judgement and 40 years of support for liberal policies and politicians would make him incredibly dangerous as POTUS.

Cruz Surges in Florida While Rubio Loses His Way
Posted March 14, 2016
A new CBS News poll published Sunday shows Ted Cruz flying past Marco Rubio in the final stretch of Florida’s race for the White House.

Whose the Cause of the Civil Unrest?
Posted March 12, 2016
The extreme candidates on both sides of the political aisle are representing the worst of human nature, and the natural result was the anger in the streets and inside the doomed Donald Trump event in Chicago tonight.

A Floridian Speaks: Rubio Betrayed Me — I’m Voting for Cruz
Posted March 11, 2016
When I moved to Florida several years ago, one of my greatest joys was getting to vote for Marco Rubio to take a seat in the U.S. Senate. It was exciting to support such a bold, courageous, visionary young leader. I loved taking on the establishment in Florida and doing my part to help Marco beat the odds. I had hope and confidence in him. I believed that he would help us take our country back from insane and immoral policies that are bankrupting our children’s future.

The Rubio Rally That Wasn’t
Posted March 08, 2016
The man was standing alone, leaning against the wall in the still half-empty conference room that the Marco Rubio campaign had rented for the senator’s “big” Tampa rally. It was only 15 minutes before start time, and people were only trickling in.

Meet Donald Trump: The King of Sleaze
Posted February 28, 2016
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!
Posted February 15, 2016
The schoolyard bully that would be president, Donald Trump, now daily reaches such new lows of sophomoric language and behavior that even seasoned political watchers who have “seen it all” are shaking their heads.

"Ted Cruz is more than prepared" - he is steeped in the wisdom apparently steeped in women not his wife!
... there, now it makes sense.

Cruz is playing the role of the turd in the punch bowl, deluding the gullible to join the evil in the destruction of America.

People like this writer-—and like Beck, Levin, National Review, talk radio and conservative media in general, FR Cruzers-—they sound like they have been PAID to write what they write, say what they say. I mean the writing itself, the words, the prose, sound like it is paid-for writing. The words themselves, the sentence structure...

It has become VERY EASY to distinguish between Cruz supporters and Trump supporters. People whose words you read or hear, pundits, your neighbors, FR trolls...

It's easy because they all fall in one of two buckets:

Patriots and non-Patriots.

Patriots are for Trump. Others are for Cruz.

List every word that defines patriot and it applies to Trump supporters. Take every word that applies to non-patriot, it describes Cruz and his supporters.

NATIONALIST works too, along with Patriot.

The others are people who are GLOBALISTS, who wish to submit our sovereignty and our existence to Globalists and Muslim/Mexican Invaders. And no amount of arguing with them will change this.

They demand ONE THING every election: the election of PROFESSIONAL CAREER POLITICIANS.

That and he has been a high level Bushy for the last 20 years, his wife too. I wonder where Neil, George P. and Jeb! Bush would fit in a Cruz administration?

has a wife who at one time worked for Golman Sachs

His wife CURRENTLY works at Goldman Sachs---she is on LEAVE from Goldman Sachs, where she is at the second highest level: Managing Director. She was Vice President for a few years, then 9 days after Ted was elected to the Senate, she was promoted to Managing Director. There is only one level higher: Partner.

Prior to her working for the White House (advising former US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick) she also worked for the banks, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs.

And she was a member of the Council On Foreign Relations, responsible for devising the document that will be used to create the NORTH AMERICAN UNION, and make Canada, US, and Mexico into one entity, erasing U.S. borders and laws.

Make no mistake about it, just as Cruz is for Obamatrade (TPA and TPP and others to follow, which Heidi Cruz helped devise working in Bush trade policy), Cruz is for the NORTH AMERICAN UNION, where he can serve as supreme leader without the disqualification of being born on foreign soil.

Here is what Cruz said about Trump voters:

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed.”

CBN interview, 10 March 2016

It seems Mr. Cruz has a few problems besides insulting the folks he now want to vote for him.

1) He has lied consistently about Trumps stances: example the March 1 primary post-win speech, he lied 6 times about Trumps stances.

2) Mr. Cruz blamed the Chicago riots on Trump, which was kind of nasty, not to say tin eared.

3) Mr. Cruz seems to have a large probability to have had two affairs. While only the three people involved business, he is kind of sleazy to go around as Mr. Christian, if true. Yes I know it is not proven, but folks have to make assessments based on what facts they have and what is out there leads one to believe his guilt in 2 of the 5 cases alleged.

4) Mr. Cruz and his wife seem to be globalists: at least one half of the import reform that folks want from trump is to be an economic nationalist and bring back jobs for the middle class, instead of for the elitist class. He and his wife do not seem to even know what middle class working world is like,, they have spent their entire adult lives as part of the elite, sheltered form dealing with the common folks.

5) His attempt this late in the game to get the nomination, when traditionally the guy in the lead is at this point rallied round, speaks to a character of driving ambition at any price. Not exactly a principled chap. Mr. Cruz billed himself as a principled conservative, but other than his stance on ethanol, I cannot name one time when his principles have prevented him from doing something advantageous to himself. In fact his actions seem much more like those of an opportunist, one with great ambition.

He is a fatally flawed candidate at this point (as well as trump). Now there is one thing that would convince me he all he says he is, those that doubt him are wrong and that he is fighting the Trumpster so hard out of principle. That is if he does not take the nomination or fight for the nomination if he knocks trump out and supports a Republican governor on a platform that is similar to trumps on immigration, the economy and getting out of foreign meddling. If he steps aside I will believe he is conducting his campaign out of principle and distrust of trump and not personal gain. Also I think at this point perhaps a Governor with a trump like platform might be the only candidate who could unite the party against the Hillary beast, there is too much anger between the supporters of each candidate.

How likely do you think he would do that?

That sentiment always makes me laugh as Trump does worse than Cruz against Hillary/ Bernie in virtually every poll.
