Fox News:

“Cruz says Trump backers have ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’”

I hope that ticks you off as much as it does me.

Rubio has a terrible work record. Cruz is not a “natural born Citizen” IMHO. Thus, it devolves to Trump, who I believe is the only one capable of defeating the clinton creature anyway.

In the future when posting self-penned pieces here on FR please adhere to the rules. You are supposed to select the "Your Opinions/Questions" list from the available topics.

This results in (vanity) being appended to the title automatically, and insures it doesn't show up in the wrong feeds. Some people like reading vanities, not everyone.

Nice article.

I consider the source...lol...
Like I said, he is universally hated, perfect fit for SCOTUS, I actually like his knowledge, but not his inflexibility. A perfect fit for SCOTUS, but not for President.

Good analysis. I caucused for Cruz but will obviously vote for anyone in the general besides Obama II (and that is a very astute moniker for the felon from Chicago/Arkansas/Chappaqua or wherever she’s from this week), and will not stay home. That being said, it still feels like a bit of a roll of the dice to nominate Trump (nervous about the polls showing him losing to Her Highness, although I know polls are often premature and full of baloney anyway), however as the weeks go by and he starts to surround himself with good people and picks a solid running mate, I’ll start to feel better about it.

Yes it does. It tells me that Cruz is an arrogant POS. I wasted money supporting him months ago. Today, I wouldn’t hire the guy to pull weeds in my garden.

Well, the accusation might well be true, if this screed is any indicator.

Trump always was too leaky a vessel to put much hope into.

Many of whom were Ted Cruz supporters. One thing for sure Ted, this ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’”, former supporter no longer will be a supporter unless you make it to the general election.

Because this ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’” former supporter of you just hates Democrats, and that goes doubly for traitorous Democrats. But now it will be with my clothespin firmly in place.

Besides that, this ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’” former supporter thinks you are another usurper who is ineligible for the office of President of the United States.

I heard Ben Carson praise The Don today. He said Donald was not the man people see on the stage but an intelligent, thoughtful man.
So what? Is Trump talking down to his low information voters? Is he shouting vulgarities to the crowd because he thinks this is what they want to hear?
I never see an intelligent, thoughtful man when I listen to Trump. Cruz was right. Whoopi Goldberg would be elected president if she ran. Just from her followers from the view.

“Our military will become the strongest the newest and the most powerful in the world....”

It already is. By far.

America should NOT be “run like a a business.” America should be a place where the possibility of starting a business in a market unfettered by government interference, the desire to pick winners and losers is checked and financial freedom is the norm. America is supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy. As the old saying goes...”start with a Republic, become a Democracy, move to Democratic Socialism, Socialism then finally communism.”

I prefer a Republic, the one we started with, without ANY business attitudes in any manner. They have no place in Government. Provide a standing army for defense, protect the ability of the people to arm themselves, provide a judicial system that adheres strictly to all of the Constitution and watch the government like a hawk. Remember that the Constitution is not subject to change because of a new technology or a “new sensibility” in our people. It is immutable.

Roll back the insane “business oriented” solutions in banking and allow a free market and a free economy to grow. We now have neither. Bring our trade policies back to reality and stop manipulating our competitiveness by means of taxation. Let America return to being America.

Our neighbor worked for Trump in Atlantic City as a receptionist for the casino. She says that he was the most arrogant inconsiderate haughty individual who wore his red power tie whenever someone was going to get fired. He had no regard for his underlings according to her. Rush has a saying that his father had that you can tell the true nature of an individual by what they do when no one is watching; a corollary would be that you can tell the true nature of an individual by how they treat those who are beneath them and can do nothing to advance their agenda.

IMHO, Trump is a phony, a bully, crass, self-absorbed and rudderless except for the principle of WIN, WIN, WIN at any cost. He answers to no higher authority (God) and only knows how to make deals, the very thing that his supporters supposedly hate of the establishment.

NBC ran an exit poll of voters in Tuesday’s primary that showed that Trump has the highest percentage of supporters in all education levels compared to the competitors. That was posted somewhere here.

Two questions remain to be answered more clearly before some will be very keen to vote for Trump (although with the likely opponent, people will do it regardless of any hesitation).

First question, is he really that skeptical of climate change to avoid any further erosion of the economic integrity of America in favor of the crazy green agenda?

Second question, what about religious liberty, in particular, the challenge to Christian beliefs posed by the radical gay lobby?

With Ted Cruz, you know the answers to these two questions and so at the very least I hope he gets either the V.P. or Supreme Court position if Trump is the candidate.

I am also not convinced that a wall is going to work on a practical basis with half the border being a river. Perhaps walls in some sectors and enhanced patrols and security in other sectors. Probably a wall from the Pacific to about central Arizona then security patrols, another wall near Ciudad Juarez and much improved security in Texas.

The bigger problem in this policy is finding the millions of illegals and deporting them. This will partly reduce the flow of new illegals, who’s going to want to risk paying smugglers if they figure on being deported within three months anyway?

I suspect Trump is going to win the nomination so much of this discussion about Trump vs Cruz is now almost academic. The bigger question is how to get Trump past the inevitable problems of massive voter fraud and media manipulation and into office.

Good piece. I share your reason for backing Donald Trump. We certainly need a good business man to help solve our problems. Its for sure politicians haven’t a clue. This morning Dr. Carson gave me even more confidence in my selection. Its good to know Donald will put our countries interest first.
