Iâ€™ve never heard of you or noticed you posting here before tonight, despite your sign-up date which is junior to mine.

I've seen you around many times for years. I post, but I lurk more than I post, and my posting frequency isn't what it used to be. I have generally respected your posts and found you to be a valuable member of FR.

Did you caucus? Yes, I noted you reside in Iowa.

Unfortunately I did not; I was out of state at the time. I would have probably caucused for Cruz if I had.

Youâ€™re wrong when you state that Trump is not on "our side." Heâ€™s not on "your side," but heâ€™s on "my side," as I view the sorry, current state of politics.

Perhaps; if true then you and I are on different sides. Could you give the quick version of your view of things?

Yes, I will be happy to oblige, but may I postpone until later today? I think we are in same time zone, (Central) and I need to get some sleep, given I just noticed it’s after 3:30AM here!

I will leave this window open so I won’t forget!!

Good afternoon, xjcsa!

Solid, pouring rain here, which interferes with my dish TV reception ... *sigh* ... but I was able to watch Mr.Trump's Sparks, NV Rally LIVE online.

Prior to Mr. Trump's June 16, 2015, announcement that he was entering the GOP presidential race, I was all-in for Senator Cruz and had sent donations to his campaign.

The more I listened to and followed Trump's campaign, the more I liked the businessman outsider Trump over the renegade U.S. Senator Cruz. Both men are outspoken which I find admirable and both seemed to get along with one another, which I also liked. I remember being very pleased when Cruz traveled to meet with Trump and those photos were taken with Cruz wearing one of Trump's coat jackets.

I think both men are very smart. I know that Cruz is brilliant and that he's likely one of our nation's best legal scholars and even Alan Dershowitz shares that opinion.

BUT, a POTUS must possess and exercise superb judgment, of people and of situations. Cruz fails miserably in this department.

Just yesterday, he finally got around to "asking for the resignation" of that horrid man who's caused him so much trouble (Rick Tyler) and yet, he continues to permit Glenn Beck to rant and rave, as though Beck is actually helping and NOT harming him. I fear that Cruz won't be able or won't want to dump Beck from campaigning with him in Texas!
