I am a 100% Trump supporter, but if Rubio thinks he’s going to duke it out with Cruz, he’s on Ben Carson’s medication!!!

See, told ya their entire strategy now is to pretend that they guy LEADING by 10-15 points doesn’t exist and it’s between “Cruz and Rubio.” I warned you Cruzers. They are setting you up to be crushed if they even think Trump is out.

No it isn’t. Neither one is at the top of the polls.

Reality is missing lately.

The article makes a penetrating point. But, it supposes Trump and Carson are going to go away.

Cruz - economic conservatives
Rubio - neo-conservatives

AND

Trump - populist conservatives
Carson - social conservatives

The Reagan conservatives included three of the above elements (with the populists then called “Reagan Democrats”). The neo-cons were given the Vice Presidency to buy them off. Even so, John Anderson bolted from the GOP to run as an independent for President.

My point is that Trump and Carson have staked out real constituencies in the Republican coalition and are not going away.

Cruz and Rubio have risen as the rest of the field has collectively fallen. But, do the math. Is there enough remaining support for the rest of the field for either Cruz of Rubio to catch up to either Trump or Carson?

Cruz could unify social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. The only people out of the coalition are liberal Republicans (essentially, RINO’s).

The last thing we need is a Wilsonian. Those are known as “progressives”. Progressivism is what got us into this mess.

FReep You Marco Rubio (FUMR)! Amnesty pimps need not apply.

If you leave 11,000,000 illegal aliens in the country, millions more will flood in. And the liberals (like you, Rubio) will ensure they get the vote. And they will vote for the freebies promised by socialist democrats. This will be the end of capitalism and the end of freedom in America.

FRiends don’t allow friends to vote for amnesty pimps.

Cruz and Trump are the only acceptable candidates for me.
