Oh yes. Obama never claimed to be a Christian or a conservative (well, none of them did), he was up front honest on what he would do to this country.

Hillary and Harry Reid are typical politicians, dishonest and crooked.

None of them reach the level of Ted Cruz.

In one sense of the word “bad,” Cruz is a lot like McCain, another “moderate”: Cruz is very much like, but actually worse than Obama ... as well as Reid and Clinton.
We expect bad things from Democrats.

Cruz is the kind of man who some day, when no one is looking, will reach into her coffin and steal the coins from his Mother’s eyes so he can buy flowers for a prostitute.

You hate Ted Cruz more than, say, Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro, Osama bin Laden, Jeffrey Dahmer and every abortionist who ever slaughtered an innocent child?

Interesting.

And the frightening part is every Cruzer on FR vehemently and rousingly supporting this. Scary. WTH happened to morality?

This sorta "finders keepers, losers weepers" morality. You find someone's wallet on the ground with a thousand bucks in it, and your logic is, hey, the owner shoulda been more careful with the wallet, I'm not stealing, there's no LAW against my keeping this, this is a public sidewalk.

It is isn’t it? Yes, I believe I do.

I wasn’t around for Hitler, Fidel Castro limited himself to his own country, bin Laden was a creation of our government that got out of hand, Jeffrey Dahmer is a criminal who got what he deserved. Abortionists again are something we sanctioned - our government and while I have never voted to allow it, this country did, they are not criminals.

But none of them said to me, in my face, your vote doesn’t count. I am going to take over your government, knowing I am not eligible, knowing I’m not qualified, because I want to.

Perhaps they did and I didn’t recognize it at the time but I do now with Ted Cruz. I do hope he eventually rots in hell for this.

Cruz’s people shrug off such things as delegate bribing and cozening, adultery and selling out your country and fellow Americans.

They’ve gone full retard, but they’re conservatives ..... sure they are: full drag GOP-establishment RINO conservatives.

As much as Trump supporters would like to divert attention away from the Donald Trump's colossal screwup, this is not about me.

You speak of respect for the Constitution, respect for the Constitution is at root respect for the rules going in. Trump knew or at least was charged with knowing the rules from the day he declared his candidacy. Cruz has played entirely by the rules. Constitutionalism is not a surrender to the mob, it is a set of rules to be observed.

“I don’t understand why you are so giddy that millions of voters potentially will have their votes negated & thrown to a candidate they did not vote for or support? I know you hate Trump, but doesn’t it bother you that the political system is rigged like this? Really, it goes against what this country was founded on. Whether it is your candidate or not, you should be bothered.”

Do you understand why there’s an Electoral College, and it’s not just the straight democratic vote that elects the President?

The parties function similarly. It’s so there’s a check on the people getting tricked into making a really poor selection. That’s the situation we’re in with Trump, in my opinion. His positions on illegals and Muslim immigrants/refugees have resonated. I wish other candidates would move closer to them. But those positions and his other broad brushed slogans (Make America Great Again) don’t make up for the fact that he’s not stated any realistic plan for making them happen. Further, he is often inarticulate, has a highly questionable moral compass, has a volatile temper, and his views on many important issues have changed like the wind over the years. In fact, he’s well known for rubbing elbows with the Clintons and other unsavory types. ;-)

I think the nation could do far better for a President. Thank goodness there’s a way for it to happen. Whatever the outcome, it must be God’s will, right?

At least they were born here. And have 2 parents that were both citizens when they were conceived and birthed.

As to exceeding their cheating ability... well, Ted is still a newby, but he learns such things quite quickly.

And just wait til the rules committee meets prior to the convention. Each convention writes its own rules. With the rules committee packed with insiders like Cruz and his people---they can make any rule they want. Cruz needs to go to a second ballot? They could change the rules to say that Trump needs a SUPERmajority, 2/3rds, or whatever, or must have won 35 state primaries to win on the first ballot.

It's their party, they can do what they want. HOWEVER---they offered no caveat when the PRESENTED the primary contests in each state as a democratic vote. That's fraudulent. They didn't say, "Buyer beware: the candidate you vote for in your state may not be the one your state's delegates vote for at the Convention."

Finally, IF the shoe were on the other foot, the Cruznadians would be screaming bloody murder. Whatever position is required for Cruz to win, they take it. Doesn't matter if it's morally wrong or if it's bad for the country.

I agree with everything but the cozening... is that a form of mormon prophecy or what?

Again, I don’t know they sleep at night supporting a serpent like Cruz, driven by pure ambition.
I sleep fine supporting a man who has accomplished just about every ambition a man could have, but has nevertheless dedicated the last part of his life to trying to pull America back from the brink—pushed there by apparatchik scum like Cruz and his Uniparty.
Good night.

“I don’t believe I have actively hated anyone in my live time as much as I hate Ted Cruz. “

You claim to hate Cruz more than you hate 0bama or Hilliary? (Not to mention various leaders of ISIS, Iran or North Korea for instance...)

Truly amazing.

I think Cruz is a fine human being who’s being smeared by those far beneath his moral character. There’s not been a shred of hard evidence so far.

We’ll see who’s right soon enough I think.

No, the rules have nothing to do with the Constitution.

They have to do with the Republican party, are changed like dirty socks and are put in place to subvert the American voter if the elites do not like what’s happening.

Don’t even try to tell me that the majority of the American voters are a mob.
