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

Ted only needs about 82% of the remaining delegates. I am sure the GOPe is making promises. But a fox is a fox as the cookie man discovered. Ted says Mitch lied. Why will it be different this time?

Now the establishment line is that it’s preposterous to say that Calgary Ted is the establishment candidate.

Translation: Calgary Ted is the establishment candidate.

"Calgary Ted"

So if it were Ronald Reagan running against your idol you'd probably call him "Bonzo's Buddy" or "Ronald the Clown?"

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!

I'm just about with you on that. Probably won't vote Dem but will vote LiberTARDian from here on out. State and local too. I wished I would have voted for that moron Rupert when he ran for Governor in my state. Take them all out and replace them with Ruperts!

I do believe Trump could manage to garner Democrat votes, those disenchanted with the Hillster. A Trump VP pick would probably be geared towards getting those votes.. Possibly a Hispanic or black person.

Since Presidents’ “greatness” is measured by how many young American men they slaughter, Lincoln is the greatest President of all time. So far.

“Bonzo” was a character IN A MOVIE.

Cruz was born in Calgary IN REAL LIFE.

McCain was born in Panama in real life. Show me where you complained about that.

. As a professional communicator he knows his audience, but how much does his audience know him? You accept that all politicians are ambitious. Why exempt him? All of them wear masks.What is behind his mask?

To an American mother who brought him to Texas when he was about age 4, where he grew up.

Ted Cruz is being used by the establishment. Or worse yet he sold out to them.

Lyin Ted is just another smarmy career politician no different than the rest of the establishment which is why they are now behind him 1000%. Live by the lie die by the lie.
________________
RESPONSE: One might think that with Trump reasonably ahead in the GOP presidential primary, that some of his supporters could show some class and avoid their usual nasty, venomous attacks on Sen. Cruz.

But is apparently too much to ask. Georgia Girl 2, in a one-sentence post, calls Cruz “lyin’ Ted, a smarmy career politician, and notes that he’s no different than the rest of the establishment.

I hope for your sake and the country’s sake that you’re right about Trump being some marvelous Godsend. Personally, I view him as a moral degenerate, who left two wives for mistresses, has been a serial adulterer, has owned a strip club and made at least part of his money off casino gambling and poor suckers who don’t know better. If you’re wrong about Trump, I hope you will at least look in the mirror some day and boy I helped to screw things up even worse for my country in the year when Obama was leaving office.

Trump may be in the lead, but until he reaches 1237, the scoreboard clock hasn't reached zero.

Cruz is giving Trump more time to learn how to act presidential, but he's not taking advantage of it.

WAS his mother still an American? Reports are that both parents voted in Canada.

Cruz’s statements have been totally unresponsive. He merely asserts that there is no question that he is a NBC.

Soetoro is certainly not an NBC. Neither parent could transmit citizenship. Since there is no evidence that Soetoro is even an Anchor Baby, there is no evidence that he is not an illegal alien.

I hope you’ve put on your Nomex suit. The flamethrowers are going to be directing their fire at you.

Both of McCain’s parents were U.S. citizens. Place of birth is irrelevant.

Calgary Ted’s problem is not his place of birth,, but the fact his father was a Cuban citizen.
