The next 10 days are going to be very good for Donald Trump. If we’re still fighting beyond that, I think you can count on another President Clinton.
Memo to GOP Establishment: you can’t buy Trump, however Cruz will gladly take your money.
Yes, only Don Trump’s skirts are clean. That’s why Cruz scammed students in his “university” and gave money to the Clintons.
No sale.
Was it Fred Thompson?
If Cruz, or worse, Rubio, gets the nomination, then Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States...and, once again, the Stupid Party will have clutched and lost the game.
The Republican Establishment reminds me of Charlie Brown repeatedly trying the kick, only to have Lucy yank the ball away at the last second.
A very well articulated, but alas, totally clueless analysis of the situation by the writer.
Works for me.
When the votes are counted on March 15th, it should be over and hopefully the folks at GOPe HQ will realize that. But I’m afraid they aren’t going to.
The GOPe figured this one out a couple weeks ago, and they’ve already invited Cruz over to sit down and ‘Have a Cigar’.
Personally, I don’t think I could stomach having to watch Hillary lay her hand on a Bible and swear to ‘protect and defend’ anything. I’ll spare her the 3rd degree burns and stick with Trump.
Neither can he beat Hillary, Sanders, nor any other Dem!
Trump's supporters are loyal, they won't leave him, the blacks, disaffected Dems, and many other of his supporters will NEVER vote for Cruz; not EVER!
Cruz is a regional candidate and not even a good one, at that. So HOW is he going to win enough delegates and the 8 state outright minimum to be the nominee?
This article is just HOGWASH and a pipe dream!
That's what is so great about the position the Establishment finds themselves in: both of their great hopes have floundered (Bush & Rubio) and now they're faced with backing Ted Cruz against Donald Trump.
From FR's perspective, with about 75% of members supporting Trump and 25% percent for Cruz, that's perfect, because the Establishment is damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
If Freepers would just drop all the needless acrimony and watch the chips fall where they may, things will be fine.
But if Ted Cruz sells his soul in order to help the Establishment take out Trump, by which act he will then be beholden to the Establishment, that will completely taint the voter enthusiasm and splinter the party.
Thus Ted Cruz has a few possible paths:
I believe I've already seen signs of Ted Cruz moving in the direction of option #2, what with his absurd sliming of Trump with the David Duke issue.
Playing the race card, especially when its basis is known to be a scurrilous falsehood, is one of the most lowdown tricks in the book, and is the single greatest reason for my growing skepticism of Cruz's character.
Go, Trump, go! Things will be OK. The GOP will enjoy a massive demographic shift in its favor, and cripple the Democrat party for decades to come. And the People will get pro-American policies which could benefit all Americans. And the Washington status quo of both parties will be shaken to its core.
The alternative is a Hillary Presidency against the backdrop of a hopelessly splintered, or even disintigrating, GOP.
Go, Trump go! It's the only way to be sure...
I support Ted and am sending him my small gifts every week through this heavy season of primaries and caucuses before Easter.
But I’m not happy with Ted’s light response to matters out West. There’s a rebellion out there and people who participated in it, including a prominent Trump supporter in New Hampshire yesterday are being arrested.
Ted better get way up to speed with a relevant message for the folks in Idaho where there’s also a primary next Tuesday.
How about ‘free the Hammonds’ unjustly sent to prison as ‘terrorists’ for setting a backfire to protect their ranch in Oregon.
If Ted doesn’t notch it up on things like this, the Trump bulldozer is running him over big time.
I’m thinking about not sending Ted any money after next week.
Two thoughts. (1) If Trump does very well between now and the 15th, he should definitely have a very serious look at his personal security as the GOPe may be willing to do anything. Anything. (2) If Cruz does well as manages to overtake Trump, which is still possible, he should know that the GOPe will also be against him. Particularly if it came to a Brokered Convention - the GOPe hates him (almost) as much as they hate Trump, and at the convention they will definitely not support Cruz.
Yes, I will only vote for billionaires from now on, too.
Cruz wants a war with China, Russia and North Korea, to create jobs and to satisfy campaign donors in key industries.
Do you live in Colorado or Washington State?
Trump gave money to Cruz. Has he given it back?
Trump gave money to Hillary, Bill, Harry Reid, Planned Parenthood, Romney and Nancy Pelosi. Have they given it back?
