The Ted Cruz campaign for president took a chance booking a venue as large as the Harriet Island Pavilion in St. Paul for a rally.
Not to worry. Thursday night, 500-plus Cruz supporters packed the place, a testament to the Texas senator's increasing strength in the Republican field of presidential candidates. They cheered, hooted, and hollered at the candidate who spits out bites of his conservative philosophy with a Texas drawl and John Wayne simplicity.
When he is president, he said, “We will have a president willing to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’â€
When he is president, he said, “We will take on … the alphabet soup of federal agencies that descend like locusts,†destroying businesses....

I appreciate and thank you for your service.
I am saddened that Mr. Trump has bamboozled you. He is a huckster who will disappoint greatly if he is elected.
Several dozen.
LOL — I’m a Cruz man. However, I do appreciate Trump for what he is doing to discombobulate & befuddle the GOPe and the mainstream media by helping demolish political correctness.
“LOL — I’m a Cruz man. However, I do appreciate Trump for what he is doing to discombobulate & befuddle the GOPe and the mainstream media by helping demolish political correctness.”
That also describes my thinking, and I know we are not alone.
Then we are exactly on the same page. :-)
Walking the walk. Yep.
“Listen sport, why don’t you go troll somewhere else?”
Why don’t you check my join date? Then go take a flying farq at a rolling doughnut.
“Maybe, just maybe, the problem is with you, and not everyone else.”
I always consider that first, and guess what I discovered in so doing.
It’s not “everyone else.” There seem to be many people who independently developed the same opinion.
I do not think the problem is me. I think the problem is people with insufficient character-reading skills. I could be wrong, but, you know, I’m not.
“Spoken like someone who has nothing but words to add to the mix and hasn’t a clue of what reality is.”
You should really learn to do better than that. That was a DU-quality remark.
I bring 6.4 decades of education and experience to the mix. I learned about reality while in the Navy and during my second career overseas.
Cruz is weak, and so was your reply.
“I don’t think you can equate bullying with strength. Cruz has more John Wayne swagger. Man of his word.”
Cruz has fake John Wayne swagger.
“What is your basis for that opinion?”
6.5 decades of experience dealing with all kinds of people in many countries and walks of life.

Well, which is it gramps?
(Please, please tell us you are up to 6.6 now--lol!)
So you are a sleeper cell troll that has only been activated to troll Ted Cruz threads with mindless spam. Same result: Go troll somewhere else, not stop spewing garbage on Ted Cruz threads.
“(Please, please tell us you are up to 6.6 now—lol!)”
A typo? Really? That’s the best you can do?
Well, after a few more decades maybe you’ll have something to contribute.
“So you are a sleeper cell troll that has only been activated to troll Ted Cruz threads with mindless spam.”
So, you don’t know how to look up a person’s posting history. I wouldn’t have expected that you would.
“Same result: Go troll somewhere else, not stop spewing garbage on Ted Cruz threads.”
You go somewhere else with your malice and intolerance. This is a place for discussion, and you don’t get to turn it off just because some of what is said infuriates you.
Cruz is weak. That’s a fact. I am free to say it, and you have no right to drive me from the discussion. You’re no better than those college pukes who want to abolish he 1st Amendment.
Says the deranged Trumpbot who keeps trolling with malice aforethought on Ted Cruz threads and supports a guy who is more thin skinned than anyone who has ever run for president.
Cruz is weak. That’s a fact.
Is that why Ted Cruz is running neck and neck with Hilary Clinton in head to head matchup in the latest polls from NBC and Fox, even as your Fuehrer, Donald Trump is getting clobbered by Hilary Clinton by a massive 10% in the NBC and 11% in the Fox News poll? You want a weak candidate, you don't need to look beyond Donald Trump. He does worse against Hilarity Clinton than any of the other leading GOP candidates, including even Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.
“Says the deranged Trumpbot”
I haven’t seen behavior like this for some time, and never from a conservative. It’s interesting, though: it was 26 years ago that I was first called a “Limbot.” That was back when I would still willingly communicate with leftards.
“who keeps trolling with malice aforethought on Ted Cruz threads”
It’s not a “Ted Cruz thread,” hot shot. It’s a thread about Ted Cruz. You don’t own it. Slag off.
“and supports a guy who is more thin skinned than anyone who has ever run for president.”
Firstly, that’s nonsense. Secondly, so what? He’s the only one who is even *saying* the right things on the deal-breaker issues. I hope he is “thin-skinned” enough to smite our enemies when they beg for it.
Sure, he might be conning us, but he’s going to have to have one of those “Oh, what a giveaway” incidents before I drop him.
“Is that why Ted Cruz is running neck and neck with Hilary Clinton in head to head matchup in the latest polls from NBC and Fox”
Judging from that remark, you don’t understand what I mean by “strong” and “weak.” Interesting. Didn’t see that one coming.
“even as your Fuehrer, Donald Trump”
Trump as Nazi? You didn’t really say that, did you?
Jesus wept.
“is getting clobbered by Hilary Clinton by a massive 10% in the NBC and 11% in the Fox News poll?”
You place credence in those polls? Zowie.
“You want a weak candidate”
I’m not calling Cruz a weak candidate; I’m calling him a weak man. I don’t care how strong a candidate someone might be, America is in desperate need of a *strong* man, a wartime leader. Cruz is my solid second choice, though.
“He does worse against Hilarity Clinton than any of the other leading GOP candidates, including even Jeb Bush and Chris Christie”
The demonrats have been selecting the Stupid Party candidate since GHWB, and doing it through exactly that mechanism. They focus first on the best candidate, and try to create a perception that he is “unelectable” for as many of their cliche reasons as they can. After that one goes down, they turn to the second-best candidate, and so on, until the Stupid Party is left with a loser like Dole or Romney.
The country has a chance to break out of the chains forged by the corrupt, and to do it without bloodshed. Absent strong proof that Trump is yanking us along, we *have* to take this chance.
