“I wish Trump was polling comfortably ahead in Texas”

Well, Texas is Ted’s home field, so he’s got the advantage here. He will probably take more delegates in Texas than Trump will, but he won’t surpass the 50% threshold in order to convert the state primary to ‘winner take all’.

It’ll be a win for Ted, but won’t be enough for him to build on. Trump will trounce everyone in the other Super Tuesday states, and walk into Wednesday morning with an insurmountable lead.

After Tuesday, this thing is basically a wrap.

Again, I don't vote for candidates who have contempt for the Constitution, support touchback amnesty, advocate government-paid health care, and praise Planned Parenthood for all the wonderful things they do. You made your bed, not me.

And just to be clear, this is not propaganda. It comes straight from what Donald Trump has said since declaring his candidacy. Ignore it at your own peril. But as long as my desire to do what is right remains stronger than my desire for revenge, I will will vote for the candidate who believes in Constitutional restraints and limited government. And Donald Trump is not that candidate.

I’m evaluating that right now.

This week will probably see the end of it for this election cycle.

I don’t buy into groupthink. I choose to think for myself. Obviously, you do not.

"SNOWFLAKE ALERT!"

“Rubio doesn’t trash conservatives the way Trump ...”

As long as you can keep Marco’s mind off other mens’ genitalia, maybe.

Hey Doughty - what is the name of that “other” site that the zotted Cruzers go to? Do you know?

Thanks.

Friend, I know you want to believe in Ted. I did too, before I took an honest look at what he did, as opposed to all the syrupy hype about him.

At this point there’s no profit in further debating the points I brought up. They’ve been discussed endlessly here, and Ted was found wanting by the vast majority of Freepers.

I’m afraid he’s just not all he was cracked up to be, and that’s why he’s losing the race.

And just to be clear, this is not propaganda.

No. It's more properly known as "Special Pleading," and those who engage in it AND believe it are a special kind, indeed.

I would tell you if I knew it, but I don’t know it.

It never interested me and I didn’t pay much attention.

I do remember someone saying it disbursed about two to three weeks in though. Whether that was entirely accurate I don’t know.

I believe at least some of those folks are back here, but I didn’t know who all actually left and I don’t know who all actually returned.

Take care.

Wouldn’t choose to be anywhere else but here.

I’ve got some friends in Sugarland, they had told me on the past about The Redneck Country Club there - said it was quite popular.

Talked to them yesterday, and Ted is having his “victory party” there on Tuesday. Sometimes I just wonder...
