I used to be a Cruz supporter

I don't believe you, Mollypitcher1 Since Apr 22, 2015

but no more. He is too closely knit with several issues I do not like.

Your tinfoil is too tight.

Trump is the only candidate with the skill set we need at this point in time

What skill set? He's an empty suit selling a package. He is morally questionable (I would say bankrupt), to be kind, and liberal as the day is long just a few years ago. He's done absolutely *nothing* politically, has no military experience, does not believe in Conservative capitalism, he has his finger in the air all the time, and most of all, He is a bonafide member of the very ruling elite billionaires that he says he's against.

His song may be sweet to some (I find him exaggerated, loud, obnoxious, and prone to fits), but he has absolutely *nothing* to back those words up. Nothing!

You may as well believe in unicorns farting rainbows.

I swear, I had no idea how used car salesmen made a living until I began to fathom just how many people are gullible enough to believe such as Romney and Trump. There's a sucker born every day.

It was not Cruz that stopped comprehensive immigration. That is a myth

Senator Sessions is a liar, then?

It is understood that the defeat of Eric Cantor signed the death warrant for the Gang of 8's "comprehensive immigration reform". However, it would've passed far earlier had it not been for the efforts of Sessions and Cruz.

And if you think Paul Ryan is an improvement over Boehner, what can be said? ,/i>

Where, exactly, did I say that?

‘However, it would’ve passed far earlier had it not been for the efforts of Sessions and Cruz.’

Do you have a link to any actual evidence of this?

Most likely comprehensive immigration was held up in the House bc the PEOPLE didn’t want it, and the Reps have to face their constituents more often than senators. (Plus the House is more conservative than the Senate. Amnesty was never going to sail through with the same ease as in the Senate.) In any event, amnesty passed the Senate with flying colors, so the poison pill didn’t even slow it down.

And whoever gave us Ryan—thanks for nothing.

Cruz resigned from the Elections Committee to which he had been assigned. He disapproved of their corruption which is fine, but he would have been much more useful and effective if he had stayed in the committee and fought them as well as revealing their corruption. Instead, he took the safe way out to preserve his own skin— he resigned which took him, a dissenter, out of the fight and allowed them to continue their corrupt ways. Cruz is NOT a fighter. This country needs a REAL fighter; one who can get the job done on time and under budget. It sure ISN’T Cruz. He’s great at grandstanding to draw attention, but there aren’t any scars on his knuckles.

There are no kneeling benches in a Presbyterian Church, nor in many other churches either. Obviously you demand PUBLIC kneeling to satisfy your personal ideas of what makes a Christian.
HOW DO YOU KNOW anything about Trump’s personal beliefs or practices? Do you have a crystal ball?

Well in 12 months you will get to see whether Trump is serious about the border or not. Right after he gets sworn in. :-)

You ignore the entire thread, and want me to personally retype it for you so you can ignore it again while being a contentious troll?

Go ahead and vote for your flip-flop progressive rude hero. You deserve each other.

Fact is Trump walks back and forth depending on what will pay him more. You are being used.

I don’t need your “permission” to vote for whomever I please. You certainly have an overabundance of arrogance to presume you can sway my decisions with your rude assertions.
BTW The “entire thread” does NOT uphold your contentions.

Using someone and manipulating someone are too different things.....Trump is all about playing to an audiance with the tactics he brings from the entertainment industry and his inside knowledge of knowing how media works and is also manipulated.

You and your fellow Trump bashers are so far removed from the REAL ISSUES of this election it is sickening. Focus on the things that count instead of trying to cut Trump down with your continual illusions to his entertainment stint on T.V.
By the way, there are many Trump supporters including me who have NEVER seen Trump on The Apprentice. I do not waste my time with TV “Reality Shows” or other Media projects which make money off of couch potatoes.
Trump is not manipulating the media because of any tactic used but is drawing the media into the fire because he is striking home with real honest to goodness Americans who are FED UP with Washington and the Political Insiders, whatever their party.
I do not give a bloody damn what Trump’s brash words are because he is the ONLY one who is focusing on the ECONOMIC and IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS! THOSE are the critical issues of today in this country.
Cruz ENABLED McConnell to give Obama what he wanted too many times to suit me. He is an ENABLER no matter how he tries to deny it. He’ all hat and no cattle.

Republican liberal does not beat Democrat - Y'all didn't learn a lick from Romney, I guess... Or McCain...

If he doesn't have the Conservatives, and especially the Christian Right, he won't win. So he won't win.

LOL! Yeah right. Sorry toots. I've been here since 01. Literally thousands of posts. Rock-ribbed, hard right, Reagan Conservative. Look to the record.

But you won't - because you obviously don't care about records.

Found this in my study this morning. As a believer, I feel it is the only thing that will allow for a Cruz victory—repentance and prayer. It would be easy to conclude that God is not happy with the America of [now] 2016. We may continue (for a while) as a nation, continue down the path toward an increasing secularized society that will, in time, go by the wayside like so many others (perhaps even ultimately fall to the spread of Islam. Who knows.) But if we wish to continue as a nation “under God”, seeking to be blessed by God, we must repent and pray. See Nehemiah’s example below:

Neh 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Neh 1:5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
Neh 1:6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.
Neh 1:7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Neh 1:8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Neh 1:9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
Neh 1:10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
Neh 1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

It is my belief that many in the church today may well pray this prayer, but pray it amiss. Every christian must make this his/her own PERSONAL prayer. We must, each of us, repent and strengthen the things which remain in our own lives THEN we can turn our attention to interceding on behalf of a wayward nation.
