Cruz can’t win? They said the same about Reagan. I see Ted Cruz as another Ronaldo Magnus, an opportunity of a lifetime. We should unite behind the true conservative, Ted Cruz, and I assure you that he will win and go on to be a great president.

Pretty rediculous comments the Trumpets keep making. Must be the only things they can come up with.
Neither.
How cool is it though that Trump gave money to Reagan!
And Jimmy Carter?
Trump is not beholden to anyone!
Cruz won’t negotiate with those powers, he cannot answer a question ever, he does not have a military based stategic plan or a backup, no flexibility.
In summary he will react in a bad fashion like a spoiled child, if a kid throws a rock at him he would grab daddies gun and shoot back.
Its saber rattling for attention from these countries, they just want to push and expand, you have to be a flexible thinker, Ted isn’t. Just like Trump said last night about being committed to a set course, well Cruz is like the captain of the Titanic, set a course and the hell with ice bergs.
Trump will settle the sabre rattling in an easy save your face manner, and without ratcheting it up.
Yes, we all get it. Cruz is the true social conservative. No one denies that. It isn’t selling. Few think social conservatism is the solution to our present danger.
And as a former submarine officer, I find his talk about CINC condescending. He knows nothing about it because he never ran anything more than his mouth.
That. Is what bothers me. Trump talks about getting great generals and supporting them. Cruz talks about how great he is going to be commanding his new toy. It is frightening.
Cruz is fixed, and predictable. Reminds me of WW2 and Rommell.
Don't consider the Republican Establishment to be stupid. They are not. The Republican Establishment is corrupt.
They know their role is to maintain the PRETENSE of opposing the Democrat (really the Globalist) agenda, while not actually beating them on anything really important to the Globalists.
The Republican Establishment would prefer to lose the White House, than be put into the position of actually having to deliver what they have promised to the American people.
Describe Don Trump’s military experience to me.
Cruz is a condescending jerk towards the military. It is a toy. Trump treats it with respect and makes clear it is a last resort, not a first one. Lots of folks talk about taking the war to Putin. Trump has the sagacity treat him with firm ness but respect.
Logic matters not.
No they wouldn't.
They would have destroyed him months ago. He would only be a distant memory by now.
Cruz owes his current political standing all to Trump.
Cruz isn't tough enough to take 10% of what Trump has and will take.
The civil case about Trump’s school is still in court and not decided on, yet. So saying he “scammed” people is another Cruz lie, at this point. Cruz lies a lot.
e all know Cruz is the most conservative of the lot but if Trump were not there taking the flack, the multi-headed enemy would be about destroying Cruz.
No they wouldn’t.
They would have destroyed him months ago. He would only be a distant memory by now.

Yes, you are right. My analysis was less than precise. At whatever point Trump would be out of the mix, all incoming would be immediately shift to Cruz. He would find himself out of money very fast and that would be the end of it.
The problem with Cruz, with all the Pub candidates except Trump, is that they are getting their money from rich donors who will expect to influence policy in return.
All new presidents begin immediately to campaign for the next election. That campaigning requires money, lots of it. A President Cruz, Rubio, or Kasich will have to satisfy their major donors if they expect more money.
This puts the rich donor class right back in the Presidential driver’s seat, molding policy to their satisfaction, & not necessarily to the satisfaction of the people who elected them.
If Cruz had refused all big donors & focused on a grass roots campaign, I would be backing him now. As it is, Cruz is owned just as all the others are, with the exception of Trump.
