Exactly the point. I have been disappointed by just about every politician I’ve supported in the past. That’s why I’m supporting someone who isn’t a career politician this time. I’d rather take a chance at something great happening for our country, then play it safe and hope for the best.

I’ve been disappointed enough that I expect it at this point. But if Trump doesn’t do anything else other than build the wall, I’ll be happy with him. Cruz is ineligible, so nothing he could do would please me.

The tone here has become more “Spirited” as of late and many will be disappointed. I just hope that everyone comes together and supports our nominee (Cruz or Trump) and we are all pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Despite my strong preference for Cruz I will gladly take the pledge to support the GOP nominee.

But I'm afraid that is perhaps a bit too big a pill for Trumpsters and Trumpettes to swallow. Hoping I'm wrong on that.

Do you seriously think Cruz is still intent on building that wall? Has he talked about ANY of the issues he liked while he was drafting off Trump's popularity and charisma?

Face it. Cruz went over to the dark side when he accepted endorsement from the lose with Cruz enthusiasts and even before that when he put Neil Bush on his campaign staff.

Benevolent dictators rarely disappoint; Representative democracy politicians often do. Pick your poison.

My opinion has always been deportation, end sanctuary cities, death penalty, end of welfare for illegals are the key for ending the influx of illegal aliens.

A wall holds people in as much as out. The US is moving toward not allowing citizens to leave along the lines of communist of fascist states. A wall just aids that.

US doesn’t need a wall to stop illegal aliens.

Trump or Cruz are both superior to any Democrat.

But remember, politicians and government can only do so much on the positive side. You can’t expect a candidate to be a savior.

For some reason it doesn’t work the other way. A politician and government can do a lot to make things worse.

That’s why it is important that the Democrats do not regain congress and that a Republican is elected President.

It all may matter nought if we continue murdering unborn children.

If Trump wins I fully expect him to be true to himself - a big government, left leaning populist who will makes deals with the Democrats that will inevitably grow both the size of government and its influence in our lives.

If he's the nominee, I'm voting for him. His opponent will be Hillary Clinton and I'm sane.

Trump has a record of being on every side of every issue. At least I know exactly what I’ll get with Cruz.

The most important goal is to keep Hitlery out of the White House.

I'd prefer Trump and I will vote for Cruz if he's the nominee.

They all disappointed us again and again and again. Ron Johnson, Mia Love, Joni Earst, Marco Rubio. Every single one promised to be tough. Every single one sold out.

Up to this point I have tried not to be negative to Trump or Cruz.

Cruz tries to appear as the anti-establishment conservative candidate. He is or has in the past, been in favor of TPA, TPP, increase in H1B’s and more immigration. Handing out welcome baskets at the border certainly sends mixed messages. Maybe it’s hate the sin - love the sinner.

Then there is Trump.....Warts and all! His past statements and actions have been anything but conservative. Yet he seems to have a great love for this Country. Maybe he is also tired of Washington sell outs.

Either one is far superior to the democrat option.

What if Trump or Cruz is elected and manages to build the wall?

Trump will ... Cruz won't.

What if Trump or Cruz is elected and manages to control immigration from countries where the citizens hate our way of life?

Both Trump and Cruz are likely to do that ...

What if Trump or Cruz is elected and exposes – and rids us of - the corruption in D.C.?

They can try, but both are unlikely to rid us of that in DC.

What if Trump or Cruz is elected and enacts legislation that helps to turn our economy around and bring back jobs?

Both Trump and Cruz are likely to do that ... Trump will be more effective and IMO has the better plan.

What if Trump or Cruz is remembered as – at least – a Reagan-Lite?

Neither is in the same class as RR ... but could do many things that remind us of him.

On the other hand, what if Trump is what many of his detractors here say he is, a liberal – and governs as such?

Then we who voted him in will vote him out ... because of his extraordinary promises ... he has one chance only.

On the other hand, what if Cruz is what many of his detractors here say he is, the establishment – and governs as such?

Then we who voted him in will vote him out ... he has one chance only.

Do you believe your preferred candidate will follow through on his promises?

Trump yes, Cruz some.

What if nothing changes?

Vote the scums out ... they have one chance.

Can you name anyone you supported who went on to gain office and later disappointed you?

Tom Ridge (gov. Pa), Bush I, Bush II ...

Cruz is the only one that has actually did what he said he’d do after he was elected.

Trump may not be the answer, but for certain all the others would not be. Time to give an outsider a chance whether you like him or not. All the others have had decades to do what
is right and look at the mess we are in.
