Just making friends all over aren’t you.
Cruz should put his country first / put his pride aside & support Trump because the electorate will never vote in enough numbers for Cruz for President.
Ergo, you have ONLY changed your mind, because you support Cruz, who is NOT a NBC!
The last time we nominated a conservative, they said the electorate would never vote for him, either. He ended up winning in two landslides. The last time we nominated a liberal Republican like Trump (four years ago), we got trounced by a weak president. No more liberal Republican nominees!
Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, wow! What a great set of people who happen to be sons and daughters of Donald Trump. They are a testament to him.
Ping to #15 and #54 where an example and report are given of how Romney takes down Trump even if Trump wins 1237+.
Your thoughts are welcome.
Lessee now, Trump's immigration policy is eminently conservative.
Same for Trump's tax policy.
Same for Trump's education policy and opposition to Common Core.
Ditto healthcare, where Trump supports repealing 0bamacare and replacing it with something free market based.
And, unlike Cruz, Trump doesn't support TPA, and doesn't think such sweeping power should be given to any President, let alone Barack 0bama.
The fact is, one of the main reasons that Donald Trump jumped out in front of Ted Cruz for this election cycle was by reason of Trump's eschewing political correctness and showing leadership in bringing such conservative issues to the forefront.
Ted Cruz has had several opportunities to show leadership, but each and every time, he instead shows that he is nothing but an unprincipled, naked opportunist.
For God's sake, Ted Cruz, parroting his GOPe benefactors, disingenuously tried to play the race card against Donald Trump, knowing that the Establishment smear was patently false. Nothing could ever be more lowdown and sleazy than that...
Cruz has defied expectations. When this race began, he was barely a blip on the radar in a crowded field of 17. He just keeps working. The race is not over. But now it’s down to Cruz and Trump. Could go either way.
He should, but he is either deluded into thinking he can win both the nomination and the general election, or he knows he is working for the GOPe to stop Trump and elect HIllary. Either way, he is working to elect Hillary. Not only that, but by this betrayal of the country, he will never be President, and he will end up being a one-term Senator.
Cruz is a FRAUD and a LIAR who has less experience than Obama did at this point in his primary race. But Cruz doesn't have the right skin color nor the right party affiliation to win. He's GOPE all the way and NOT as "conservative" as you imagine. Neither can he win the general election. Nor does he know or understand finances, business, anything military, doesn't know any foreign heads of states, foreign laws, social matters, and has lousy judgement in people.
There are far more who know that, than you can imagine.
Trump’s immigration policy is populist, it is neither liberal nor conservative. Trump’s tax policy is slightly conservative, but also contains liberal planks like his opposition to corporate inversions. His healthcare policy is a bit vague, currently it trends conservative, but he has expressed admiration for centrally-planned ideas in the past, thus I do not trust him on that issue. His trade policy is unabashedly progressive and protectionist. He remains another moderate-to-liberal Republican in his past history and stated positions, and I do not trust him to govern as anything but, therefore he will not get my vote. I’ve been asked to vote for the lesser of two evils too many times.
Trump isn’t a “liberal”, you, little n00b, are a political naif, and obviously care nothing whatsoever about this nation, your fellow Americans, FREEPERS, nor yourself and your family members.
There are so many untruths in your last post that I’m not even sure where to begin. But I maintain that Little Donald is NOT a conservative, and thus shall not get my vote. Romney was the last non-conservative Republican I’ll ever vote for. Never again. Not McCain. Not Romney. Not Little Donald. Hillary, Bernie, or Trump... with any of them we can just expect more authoritarian governance. I’m not going with any of them.
Ah, so I don’t support Little Donald, therefore I ‘care nothing about this nation’. I’ll tell you what I care about... I care about Liberty. That’s why I don’t vote for moderates. That’s why I won’t vote for Little Donald.
Haw haw, that's a laugh!
Let's see now: that "liberal Republican" loser from 2012, Mitt Romney (and the one from 2008, John McCain), and Jeb Bush, with crooked Neil Bush on his finance team, and Lindsay Graham.
Who are those "liberal Republicans" supporting at this very moment?
Ted Cruz, of course!
Why? Because they know Ted Cruz will 1) Lose to Hillary, preserving the status quo and the corrupt system, or 2) If Ted Cruz somehow steals the nomination and somehow wins the general election, he'll dutifully preserve the DC status quo and the corrupt system, because he will be loyal to the GOPe benefactors who propped up his failed campaign.
Ted Cruz has embraced the GOPe in the most transparent way. Cruz has shown that the only thing that's important to him is his own personal advancement. Touting conservative principles is merely "boob bait for bubbas".
A vote for Ted Cruz is a vote for maintaining the DC cartel, because nothing will change without a Revolutionary tsunami...
That fat bast@rd Erickson was wrong back in Jan and he is still wrong.
