Cruz made some deals with the GOPe (Lindsey Graham et al) and many of us felt he was being played for a fool. Also, it was a betrayal...
That said, I agree with you - it’s time to turn away from this mess and join hands in a “#NEVER HILLARY”...
I was Cruz fan for a long time, and was one of the first here on FR to suggest a Trump/Cruz ticket. Maybe not THE first, but one of the first few.
Ted lost me when his campaign morphed from “Elect Ted” to “Stop Trump”, which showed me he had caved in to the GOP Establishment. Then the idiocy with Ben Carson, if he hasn’t outright lied he has stretched the truth to near breaking, now he’s decided to pick Fiorina as VP...She’s a fraud, really bad record as CEO, fake outsider who has been eyeballs deep in politics for at least 10 years, looks like someone’s pissed off ex wife...
I don’t bash any candidate’s supporters, never have never will, and don’t use any of the pet nicknames people use, not even for Hillary, although it is difficult to resist the temptation to call her Hildebeast now and then...
I’ve been all for Trump since the day he announced, and originally wanted Cruz as his VP. Now I’ll hold my nose and vote for Cruz if he manages to somehow cheat Trump out of the nomination, which is what he’s trying to do, if th4e GOP manages to pull off some sort of trickery and shoe in someone else I’ll probably have no choice but to still vote Republican just to stop Hillary even though I won’t like it.
Point is, we absolutely must stop Hillary no matter what, even if that means a GOP tool we really don’t want. Hillary WILL destroy the economy, Bernie will only destroy it faster, Cruz is business as usual but better than either, anyone else the GOP manages to foist on us is useless at best, but just might not destroy the country.
Let me repeat that...we MUST stop Hillary no matter what. Even if that means someone we don’t want. As much as I despise Kasich, if it comes to that, he can’t be worse than Hillary. She is the most despicable person I’ve ever seen, even worse than Obama, and must be stopped at all cost.
Do not stay at home folks, hold your nose and vote for anyone you have to, in order to stop her, but don’t walk away from this one.
Hopefully that will be Trump. No politician currently in our government that I know of has ever signed the front of thousands of paychecks, finished any project ahead of schedule and under budget, fought a city government to allow blacks and Jews into his golf course, or to keep the biggest American flag he can get on his property. Only Trump has done all that. And more. He’s dealt with politicians all over the world, contrary to what the press wants you to believe he was saying America was losing to foreign countries in the late 80’s, and did not become a multi billionaire by spending more than he earned, which seems to be most politicians’ favorite pastime.
Yes, Trump has said things I don’t like, has a separate 747 to carry around his ego, has other flaws I don’t like...but I’m convinced he really does mean to do what is best for this country and bring it back from the brink of disaster.
If he is cheated out of the nomination, I expect to see loads of civil disorder, but I won’t walk away from the election, I’ll vote for whoever I have to if I can help stop the monster that will be the alternative...she is not an option.
