Go ahead and read away. I rarely attack first, usually only if a Cruz mob is attacking one poster and usually on a Cruz thread or a serial Cruz poster that cuts and pastes the same thing over and over.

You’ll never admit it, but some Cruz supporters are much nastier than mist Trump supporters. Weird, because Cruz used to be a class act.

LOL I used to have “C. Edmund Wright says I’m a moron” as my tagline but somehow it disappeared.

People need to realize at the end of the day, there will be one nominee. We all will have to get behind that nominee so we can absolutely avoid a Hillary or sanders...either of which would be a bad as Obama.

People getting their nickers in a wad and then staying home over Romney, gave us four more of Obama...and it has been disastrous.

We cannot afford to let that happen again.

Look, I am an avid Cruz supporter. But if he loses and Trump is the man, I will vote for Trump in a New York minute.

As it is...things are already looking fairly obvious. We will have to watch the votes come in in the various primaries...but there is already some very strong and clear trends.

In fact, my own weekly average poll for the GOP Presidential primary election shows the following:

(Note: Two of these polls were conducted over a time frame that included Palin's announcement. We will not really know until next week if there is any impact on the trends. Right now, the trends are pretty set.)



Continues to pretty much speak for itself.

“usually only “

But not exclusively.

Sure there are loonies on the Cruz side. I always FREELY admitted that. There are no shortage of Koolaid conisuers on Trumps.

Actually it’s easy to screw it up and not notice. I’ve dumped mine on a few occasions or cut half of it out. Can take a while to realize as how many of us ever read our own tags?

“That’s your team of closeted leftists saying that. Not mine.”

We were going to have a reasonable conversation, but you just had to insult people that disagree with you. What a shock for a Cruz supporter. /s

Unlike you, I am complying with yesterday’s request to be civil.

So have a nice day.

“Cruz is by far the most doctrinally pure conservative - but still has flaws.
Trump is by far the most electable and expressing sufficiently conservative leanings - but still has flaws.”

That’s the problem right there...you compare the most conservative to the most electable...Sorry, I’ve been down this road too many times. The one that comes to mind most is when Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for Republican Gov in California. I voted for Tom McClintock (the most conservative and who backs Cruz now) against the popular vote of Arnold. NEVER...NEVER vote for someone who is the most electable/popular vs the most conservative...EVER!

I’d guess they are all powerful, doesn’t bother me.
It was provocative, but true.

I get in trouble with the Cruzers when I point out he got a lower percentage of the 2012 vote in Texas than Mediocre Mitt.
It’s a very sensitive issue for them.

If you really wanna get analytical on this whole subject, the truth is that it really isn't about Trump or Cruz - either would bring us back from the brink we're teetering on now. What this is ultimately about - what we're really dealing with here - is the death of the GOP, and for good reason. The GOP, by virtue & consent of our "lesser evils" votes, have really done a number to us, and we're fed up.

Now honestly, I can support Trump or Cruz. Personally, I think Trump has the better shot to win in November than Cruz does. That's not to say Cruz can't win, because he can. It would, however, be much more of a fight with Cruz to win than with Trump.

As a Trump supporter, do I trust his "Conservative" creds 100%? Hell no. That is one reason why I'd like to see Cruz as his VP. I believe Trump will do a great job destroying the GOP, and that is certainly what is needed. But after the demolition, we need to rebuild, and I think Cruz would be excellent for that.

To directly address your point, I know a very small percentage of Trump supporters that regularly bash Cruz, and I say, shame on them as much as shame on the Trump bashers. Unfortunately, what I see is a whole lot of Cruz supporters more than willing to bash the Trump supporters.

To be entirely honest, I wish the two would stop and just join forces now. If they did so, this election, primary and all, would all but be over.

Avoid all the controversy. During the next Presidential Election, write in this name. Clayton Bigsby.

Sorry you're struggling....but this is a race for our country and passions are naturally going to be strong and powerful...especially when so much is at stake as if we don't get this right this time around then there won't be another opportunity.

I am for Cruz...and most definitely oppose Trump because I do not believe the man is what he says that he is....I see him as an impostor and fraud...and he evidences as much....that people are being deceived by this Charlton.

Therefore I will continue to post all I can to 'expose' Trump for what he is regardless if his supporters like it or not,....they have a choice to respond or not...and I likewise.

As for Palin...she is not the woman she was....Sarah sold out for 'the lure' of political/Hollywood celebrity a long time ago if any were paying attention.....no longer seriously committed to the Conservative cause.......and for that what did Cruz have to offer Palin?..... Trump has billions of dollars and major media attention to revive the notority of her declined celebrity status... So of course she would jump at the chance to guest on his " show". I would have been highly irritated had she been on the stage with Cruz...for she no longer represents what she once claimed......or that claim was phony to begin with....
