some conservatives here also believe in the Marxist axiom: "The end justifies the means" and how easily people project the persona of their candidate...

Donald Trump has employed various tactics, some of them needlessly lowbrow

I'm not finding much to disagree about with your response post...

Cruz certainly has disappointed me on several levels...

The point I was making, which you seemed to miss was the lowbrow antics Trump used in his campaign rhetoric was picked up here at FR and used against decent people who simply supported Cruz because he was a conservative candidate, or either did not like Trump as a candidate or didn't think he had the temperament to be POTUS...

As soon as Trump amped up his rhetoric by making extremely personal attacks against Rubio and Cruz, verses attacking their policy or political position...(which is much harder to do)

Trump followers followed suit and got very ugly...

How can anyone justify the use of the term "Cruzlim" in describing Cruz supporters...

So being a Cruz supporter is akin to aligning yourself with the evil of Islam... ?

Really?

Personally, I've never used that term. I've said "Cruz fanboys" a few times.

No, but at this point being a Cruz supporter means supprting the GOPe efforts to instigate shenanigans at the convention. There is absolutely no reason to think that Ted Cruz deserves the GOP nomination, whether you want to judge him by popular vote, delegates, or anything else.

The only thing Ted Cruz can do is try to help the GOPe succeed in denying Donald Trump the 1,237 delegates, while selfishly hoping to then win a nomination he clearly doesn't merit.

Apparently, Ted Cruz plans on limping into the GOP convention with, at best, about 700 delegates or so.

And then what's he going to do somehow, magically? He's going to seize the nomination from Donald Trump, displacing the party's clear frontrunner.

Then what? This is the most ridiculous part: after swiping the nomination, he will:

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Cruz's best case scenario.

It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

Ted Cruz appears fully willing to sacrifice his own party, and even the country, on the altar of his own blind personal ambition. His scheme is absolutely wrong-headed, futile, and serves no constructive purpose, only destructive ones.

Cruz has been duped by the GOPe, which is yet another reason he should never be near the Oval Office.

Vote Trump
