I am a Trump supporter, tried and true, but had Ted Cruz last night supported Donald Trump, reminded America of the importance of the First Amendment and other liberty-associated notions, I could have easily seen myself supporting him if Trump for whatever reason did not get the nomination. Now, I am more opposed to him than ever.
Trump supporters, its true, are loyal to a fault when it comes to Donald and just as loyal to those who defend and support him. Does Ted Cruz even know what an opportunity he wasted last night? It seems like Kasich, Cruz and Rubio have gotten their scripts from the gopE, probably a fruit of the Sea Island accord, and are proceeding full ahead.
But for Cruz to blame Trump for what happened in Chicago pisses me OFF!
Its so easy for the BLM crowd to win because they have no opposition and the people who promised to protect us have decided not too.
There is an article, maybe at Breitbart or CTH, showing exactly how this has been in the works for months and coordinated primarily on FB and social media. I believe it would have happened had Trump never uttered a single combative word, which, by the way I don't agree with at all. This was all about Trump's stand on the border and immigration.
The next direct battlefield I believe is voter fraud with all the high techs at the Sea Coast accord.
That’s pretty much it. I have abandoned Cruz.
Cruz fell back on his training.
Look at Obama......same thing.
He turned Libya into a mess and then argues that its Britain and Frances fault.
Hes a lawyer. They argue.
Govern efficiently and effectively?
They dont teach that at law school.
Cruz is plenty smart. He just fell back on his training when he should have spoken from righteous indignation.
I think he would have done better if he had spoken from his principles. You know, his principles, the ones he always hauls out at his campaign stops and wags his finger about.
There are a lot of other things they don't teach in law school, like leadership, honesty, and being who you are.
Spot on post.
His facebook page is a wonderful thing to read today after last night!
I guess it's easy to support the Constitution when you're in a well-lit, mahogany courtroom with 5 Justices listening to you and you're feeling so all swell about yourself. Cruz isn't built for the real world. I pray his supporters wake up soon, and hope this helps them to.
I know all the quotes and disagree with them totally. I'm not a mindless Trump supporter. It is a little more ethical to describe the contents of a video you are linking to ... you a Cruzer? Sure act like your man.
Cruz has to know that he doesn’t have a chance in hell now. I was on the fence between him and Trump, but I won’t vote for Cruz now. Trump should just run as an independent. To hell with them.
I hope this all backfires and explodes with a cosmic bamg in the GOPe’s face, because if Trump,is the nominee, as is likely, their next step will be vote tampering in the general unless they’re destroyed first.
Yep, I agree. See my tag line.
I read he’s bleeding twitter followers.
Marco Rubio was pretty noncommital on Trump last night, and in a way actually supported him. But today, he's gone full blown Cruz and I am thinking that's because Cruz has gotten a lot of blowback.
What makes me shudder is the extraordinary power of the republican and conservative establishment. Godspeed Donald J Trump every day in every way.
Yes,indeed...Trump still has my vote.
The man is not authenticif he were, he wouldve naturally capitalized on the opportunity and said the right thing without a 2nd thought.
You are so right. He couldn't have helped himself. Like Rush says, he's the closest we have to I-paid-for-this-microphone Reagan. And Levin and others have pretty much said Cruz lives, breathes and is a walking Constitution. Looks like the expedient Cruz, the say anything to get elected Cruz drowned out all that Constitutional adsorption pretty quickly.
YAY!!
I believe he is following in their footsteps. I read yesterday, but didn't note where, that he said he would fund his general election campaign himself to free up money for the local candidates nationwide. I definitely plan on researching that. What a thing that would be!!
What Cruz supporters and Conservative elite don't realize you have to have a viable country to repaste a Constitution to. I believe Trump the best hope to save us from demise. Once the bleeding is stopped we can move on from there. Which makes me think Ted Cruz really cares about nothing but winning. There has to be some logic and reality based thinking.
But again, his behavior over the past 20 hours rules out voting for him on Tuesday. I have tried to stay neutral, but not after his recent behavior!
Bleeding? as in losing them?

I totally agree with you. Cruz is a wealth of historical and Constitutional knowledge, but his ego has taken over for now.
I don't know where he would do the most good - the Supreme Court or the Trump administration. I don't even know if he would accept. If Carson can forgive Trump, Trump should be able to forgive Cruz for last night.
