43% was pretty good considering that about a dozen people were still on the ballot even though they had dropped out by the time of the primary.


Sorry, I am fairy certain that all states have all candidates on the primary ballots whether they have dropped out or not.

My Illinois ballot had all candidates listed, even tho there were only 4 candidates officially left in the running at the time of the primary election...

So the fact that Cruz got 43% is really not impacted by fact that ballots are all pre-printed with all candidates.

Yes, I know and then the Cruzites, here, claim that Teddy said it all FIRST, when, in point of fact, Trump was saying a LOT of what he says NOW, when Teddykins was in grammar school!And it's on YouTube, so nobody can claim that someone else wrote it and the books he HAS written.

Cruz has either said very little and hid behind Trump to begin with, or has purloined, WORD FOR WORD, what Trump has been saying from day one and NOBODY else did; NOBODY...ESPECIALLY NOT THAT SNAKE TED CRUZ !

Cruz hasn’t done great things as a Senator? Are you kidding? On what basis do you think conservatives support him? He has been a spectacular Senator for conservatives.

You think being a Senator is Obama’s defining quality? You don’t think that maybe it’s the fact that he’s a radical, agitating communist that was the problem with him? That’s like saying Carter was a bad President because he was a governor, so we should never have elected another governor Reagan.

When did Heidi Cruz ever say she wanted to regulate school lunches? Comparing the Cruzes to the Obamas is unfounded, baseless and absurd.

Mr. Paul Manafort also worked for Ronald Reagan!

After holding off Reagan's challenge in 1976, Manafort joined Reagan four years later to oversee his 1980 nomination.

In anticipation of this vote, Cruz publicly urged Congress to vote in favor of fast-track authority.

“Congress needs to strengthen the country’s bargaining position by establishing trade-promotion authority, also known as TPA, which is an arrangement between Congress and the president for negotiating and considering trade agreements. In short, TPA is what U.S. negotiators need to win a fair deal for the American worker,” Cruz and Ryan said in their Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Cruz and Ryan also pitched the passage as an important step toward helping the domestic workforce. “TPA is what U.S. negotiators need to win a fair deal for the American worker,” they said. “One in five American jobs depends on trade, and that share is only going to grow.”

On May 22, Trade Promotion Authority passed the Senate 62-37 with bipartisan support. Cruz was among the 48 Republicans and 14 Democrats who voted “yes.”

Cruz was pushing for a border wall and deportation before he was elected to Senate. Since then Trump told reporters Romney’s self-deportation plan was too harsh and he went on TV and told Fox & Friends that deporting all the illegals was too tough and we needed to be compassionate and let the good ones stay. Now today, Trump is saying let the good ones exit the country and then come back in legally. How does that help create jobs for Americans?

It was the second vote he voted 'nay' on, but he did originally voted for it.

I am getting tired of having to tell Cruz supporters that fact.

Actually, Trump was losing by 10, except in one outlier poll.

The whole drama queen "it's over for trump now, for sure" GARBAGE, from the stupid talking heads and pundit class, was PROPAGANDA after the fact. But of course, YOU swallow all of that as though it was whole clothe, because you "need" to. You are such a fool! LOL

My daughter worked for the Test and Verification Center At Kennesaw State University when the Diebold Machines were rolled out in Georgia. After setting up each machine delivered to KSU, they sent technicians to each staging locations where the machines were based around the state and did remote verification testing.

This is not far-fetched at all. A precinct officer need only turn his head for a moment to allow a bootable card with the bogus code to be inserted after the initial setup and it is a done deal. The uniparty apparatchik controls the voting booth ipso facto.

That’s what happens when conservatives like Reagan and Cruz win. The establishment falls in line behind them and licks their boots to get a place at the table.

Again, the TPA bill that passed the Senate in May died in the House. The House drafted a new TPA bill and sent it to the Senate. The House bill was not the same bill that Cruz supported. When the House bill arrived in the Senate, Cruz spoke out against it. He penned an editorial in Breitbart explaining his stance. He then voted against cloture, and against the bill’s passage. So the bill you cite is not the bill that Obama signed. It is a completely different bill.

Okay, we have one more person who thinks Ted Cruz has been a superlative Senator. B. S.

He’s a freshman Senator.

What else has he done? N O T H I N G !

You folks suckered for a nothing burger, and are too embarrassed to admit it.

Ted is, has been, and always will be, totally worthless to us.

After he voted for TPA the first time around, Cruz hit the airwaves to defend his position and his conservative credentials.

“There is nobody in the United States Congress who has stood up and fought President Obama more than I have,” Cruz said in one interview. “This has been a lawless president who has abused his power, and every turn … I had been leading the fight.”

“I don’t trust this president any more than you do,” he added. “But at the same time, my top priority in the Senate has been jobs and economic growth.”

Nice try but Roger Stone is a close friend for over 40 years with Donald Trump.

Was more than a nice try. It is a clear counter example to Roger Stone's nasty tactics being embraced by Trump.

Some people I am friends with have faults and aspects of them I don't like. Same could be said of Jesus...and was actually. And no, please don't try to claim I am comparing Trump or myself to Jesus, just providing a very powerful example of that being friends with someone who is a jerk does not make one a jerk.

Sorry, to splash some of the blood of Stone's sins on to Trump you actually need to show Trump was party to Stone's sins, not that he was his friend.

I think that is the list of the States that Cruz may win at most!

Please tell me at least 5 names who have been better Senators since Obama was elected.
