Since you have removed the Cruz in 2016 does that mean you are now abandoning him for Trump? If so welcome aboard. We need to have Trump win big so that the GOPe cannot use the convention to pick their establishment candidate. Which is starting to look a lot like Rubio.

I haven’t removed anything and I have said more than once that Trump is my second choice. Having said that, many of his followers here are doing him no favors at all. Not finger-pointing at you, so far as I know, but many of them.

I don't think Mr. Trump stands a chance against Sanders, who should beat Clinton if she gets indicted (which should happen).

The "gimmedats" gave us the kenyan over McCain and Palin...

Yeah, like you Cruz supporters are doing him any favors here either.

And he’s much more open about the free $#*+ that he has planned than Obama ever was, probably due to the race angle.

No comparison, on our worst day. I’ve never seen a Cruz supporter call Trump a homosexual, for instance.

Let's see, a billionaire compared to guy who got his first job at 40 years old. Capitalism v Socialism, economically and philosophically contrasted, there are lessons there that need to be played out on the nations biggest stage. Can't wait to see it, as it will open a whole lot of eyes...

He mentions Kasich’s effect on Rubio but not Carson’s effect on Cruz.
Cruz could really use those 5 points Carson is keeping from him. That would set him above Rubio as the ‘Trump alternate’ and allow him to branch out and appeal to moderates.

No comparison

Apparently you missed an opus or two from frustrated Cruz supporters, but, believe what you want.

Same can be said of the Cruz followers.

Links? I do know that a certain 2013 Trumpet got the boot for what I described. Not an Opus, but a zot.

Of course he has a ceiling of support. Every candidate does. Ronald Regan's approval rating never went above 60%.
