Ted Cruz is the Republican establishment candidate. That’s absolutely insane.

Cruz is an opportunist at the highest order. What a creep. He will do anything to win....he has theft and liar down pat.

If Cruz is the nominee - I’m still voting for Trump in the general. I’ll write him in if I have to - and I will NEVER vote for another damned republican again. I’m going kamikazee and will vote Dem from here on out. The republican party needs to die!

They only hated his guts because he was too ambitious and did not wait his turn. Cruz is a Bushy GOP insider and has been for 20 years as is his wife. Read his and the wife’s resumes, they make the JEB!, Romney and Graham endorsements along with hiring Neil Bush very easy to understand.

Today a caller commented on Limbaugh that he was disturbed by Cruz’ recent endorsement and by his wife having worked for establishment types.

Limbaugh matter-off-factly said something like,” So you think that just because Cruz has had this history of rubbing elbows and working with establishment Republicans that he is not a principled conservative.

Yes! Rush actually implied that no matter how far back you go in Cruz’ history what he did in the past has no bearing on whom he is today.

That is great to hear. This means that whatever Trump did in the past is also off limits if we are to apply fairness right?

That billionaire is about to crush all those corrupt political class whores you just listed. But you keep rooting for Hilliary via Teb the spoiler.

And if the GOPe/Teb plan works and Trump is robbed of the nomination, I will remember to thank you appropriately for giving us Obama II, Hilliary Clinton.

But maybe you can explain to us how Teb can thread the impossible and win the nomination? Do the math! It is Trump or Hilliary, geez the zeal to lose here by some is outstanding.

A lot more than that. Cruz is not a GOPe stooge.

Right now, the establishment fears Trump more than Cruz. I’m not sure why. I still think Cruz would fare better against Clinton that Trump would.

Unless Clinton is indicted, I don’t think it will matter who is nominated. The GOP nominee will have to run against Clinton + ABC + NBC + CBS + CNN + MSNBC + NYT + WP

Remind me a year from now to rub your face in the fiasco you’re trying to bring about.

“I still think Cruz would fare better against Clinton that Trump would.”

He wont.

He is being treated softly because the press and Gope sees him as a tool to stop Trump.

If he was actually the nominee, he will be done in 20 days.

The press is not going to be kind to him, and he has no ability to withstand them.

The GOPe are snuggling up to Cruz because they think he will be easier to control if he wins the election.

I think they're underestimating just how much Cruz hates McConnell.

Have you succumbed to the Trump drug? Trump has spent his life making deals.

That is what politicians do.

Cruz won’t even get the chance. When Trump fails on the first vote, Cruz will be dismissed as a second choice undeserving of leap-frogging Trump. Enter Paul Ryan or equivalent GOPe stooge.

What country do you live in? I don’t support Trump, but he has a greater appeal than any candidate from either side of the aisle.

Trump’s no Republican, but he’s also no panty-waisted Democrat and that’s enough for a lot of Americans right now. Half of his voters will never admit to voting for him—they just want to throw a stick in the spoke of a government that’s out of control.

Not at all insane. CONgre$$, current and former, should be in federal prison.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

We’ve lived for 30 years with the fiasco you’re trying to preserve.

-——That billionaire is about to crush all those corrupt political class whores you just listed.-——

I think all you Trump supporters are going to be in the shock of your life, if Trump does win, how cozy he will snuggle up to the GOPe....

He’s a deal maker, the GREATEST ever, he will deal with the establishment to get things done...not crush them....

I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing....depends on the circumstances...

For some strange reason, I get the perception that Trumpters think the GOPe is going somewhere or cowering in a corner, if Trump wins...

They are not...
