I was for Trump when the wall got to 110’ high, but switched when he promised another 10’ higher. 120’ tall is ridiculous. Then I knew he didn't mean it.

I am not really all that in favor of Trump BUT all things considered, other that Cruz - and he 'bothers' me almost as much as Trump - There is really no one in the field that I will 'waste' my time on...I will probably not Vote for P if Trump or Cruz NOT the nominee and will more than likely write in Pat Paulsen (a blast from the past) or Capt Obvious (from the Hotel Ads).

I made up my mind I will NOT vote for the e establishment as a vote for the loser they may put up just keeps the #s close and 'encourages' them.

If they get their collective asses tromped, it quietens the 'message' they try to spit out.

OTOH 4 years of HRC or Bernie will just knock the pegs out more than they already are BUT at least we know who the enemy is OPENLY,not as a shill for GOPe.

That is why it is important (IMNSHO) to at least get out and vote for the Sen/Congressman/locals etc - not just stay home and lose it all.

FROM THE PAST:

I am neither left wing nor right wing. I am middle-of-the-bird. Pat Paulsen

Well, at the very beginning, I was a Scott Walker fan. I *can’t stand* unions, and seeing him battle through that crap he went through in WI impressed me so much that I wanted to see him run for president before the election cycle even started. When he bowed out, I set my eyes on Cruz. I liked that he stood in the face of overwhelming odds in the senate, and though he wasn’t able to get much done due to the establishment, he demonstrated that he meant what he said in his campaign about standing up to Washington.

Trump caught my attention with trepidation at first. I went from rolling my eyes to “Wait a minute... he has a point!” fairly quickly. Still, I kept my main support for Cruz because— and this is going to sound counterintuitive— I felt that his political experience gave him the advantage for how best to implement his policies.

Now we’re getting through the primaries, and I’m sorry to say that it’s brought out the worst in everyone. Trump, for all his brashness and unrefined qualities (which have been growing on me), is clearly the one the establishment sees as the biggest threat, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Ted Cruz shut the door for me with his comments after Chicago. Yes, I’ll concede that the words “Donald J. Trump is solely responsible for the chaos in Chicago” didn’t cross his lips, but he wasted no time in politicizing it and giving the perception of aid and comfort, in a manner of speaking, to our political enemies.

I’m on the Trump train, but I’m not quite sold on the idea of Carson for Veep. It’s kind of an obvious suggestion, but Surgeon General or head of HHS seems more applicable to his expertise. I may get tarred and feathered for this, but I kinda like Huckabee for Veep.

Everytime I think of leaving the Trump camp, I look at the others and stick to Trump.

I have supported Cruz all along and still do, but in the past I thought I would vote for Trump if he was nominated. Now I won’t vote for Trump under any circumstance.

I’m from Minnesota so my vote for president doesn’t matter anyway, but I am very concerned about the damage Trump will do down ballot. I hope I’m wrong but if Trump is on the top of the ballot we will lose the Senate and legislatures in states all over the country. He will be worse for the Republicans than Obama has been for the Dems.

I changed from Independent to Republican because of Trump. I will vote for whoever is against Hillary. However, I will also consider into the factor the GOPe’s idea of voting for Hillary because they are against Trump. I may just let them have their wish, what the hell, I’ve only a couple of years left and really don’t want any part of the way we pick leaders lately. Let them have their eventual President Commacho. They’ve polarized everyone so far and who knows maybe Commacho will bring them back together in the future?

Cruz is the only one I sent money to.

Wish I could get it back.

The question that should be asked is: “Do ANY of them actually deserve our votes and our faith.”

(That answer being NO. They are all frauds to varying degrees.)

So far, Trump is the only one who hasn’t been a huge personal disappointment to me. So, while he doesn’t quite have my support, I despise him the least, and at least he is saying many things that need to be said, and exposing truths that all his opponents (GOP and Dem) would prefer stay hidden.

I was originally for Cruz the flipped over to Trump but after watching him with all his BS and doing some research I switched back to Cruz. Right now I would vote for absolutely any of the other 16 original candidates rather than Trump. Will never vote for him, ever.

I've been a Cruz supporter after Walker left the race...

I know that makes me a globalist, RINO loving, GOPe shill, Goldman Sachs stooge, and all other sorts of reprehensible bad character traits, maybe even a traitor...

But Cruz is the only constitutional conservative candidate running...

So I guess I'm stuck with my choice...

I liked Trump for about a month last summer, but not now. My distrust of him is profound, but I do like the positions on his website. Cruz bothers me for reasons I can’t articulate, but his stated philosophy is closest to mine. My primary is Tuesday- not sure what I’ll do.

No matter, I’ll vote for whoever is nominated in November because, well, Hillary would be....a nightmare.

I changed from being for either Cruz or Trump to being for Trump now that Cruz has dropped his mask and blamed Trump for the actions of the anarchists who mobbed his rally. Those are the same anarchists responsible for Ferguson and Mizzou, and Cruz is on their side.

Wonder if you’ll find someone who switched that way. I was so excited when Cruz declared for president and as I’ve said before, have donated to him three times starting day one. I’m now Trump/Cruz or just Trump,

I was on the fence between Trump and Cruz, leaning more Trump. Now I am firmly Trump....for now.
