This is the first time I’ve heard Cruz say we are going into a contested convention. ..just before this he kept saying he’s making a comeback and will win the 1237. Guess he’s conceded to the fact he cannot win outright, and will count on the bribed establishment delegates disguised as Trump supporters voting for him on 2nd ballot.

Can anyone not see that he is just a tool of the elite now? One that will cause chaos and division, and be the end of the party. He will win blue states in the general, plus the Trump voters won’t vote for him. So a vote for Cruz is now really a vote for Hillary.

President Clinton? That’s fine. They told me the same thing with McCain and Romney. You Trump people can’t blackmail me into voting for yet another GOP liberal like Trump by using the scare tactics of the threat of another Dem presidency. You want to nominate another liberal/moderate like Little Donald? Go ahead. Just don’t count on conservatives to carry your water for you YET AGAIN at the ballot box. Romney was one time too many. Trump doesn’t get my vote.


With all due respect, I am not trying to blackmail you into anything. Just saying that if you vote libertarian, you are ushering in the Democrat.

You think Trump is the liberal, then I ask why is everyone—including the moderates (who I call GOPe) against him...like Romney, Gramnesty, Bush, and McCain...

I would encourage you to reconsider you stance on Trump. I don’t know your politics...But for me the fact that Phyllis Schlafly, the “Margaret Thatcher” of American Conservatism, endorsed Trump spoke volumes to me...She is 91. She has no ulterior motive for endorsing him...She believes he is the candidate that will change the status quo. She has been fighting for conservative values since I was a kid. When my kids were little and I was fighting local school systems to fight liberal sex ed curriculums, who did I turn to? Phyllis Schlafly...To me, her endorsement was huge. In addition, Jeff Sessions, the stalwart against illegal immigration and H-1B visa abuse, endorsed Trump—not Cruz. IMHO immigration issues are the largest threats to our country and our future.

Normally, I am not a huge endorsement person, but the fact that those two plus Sarah Palin and Pat Robertson make me feel that my decision to support Trump is good.

If you look at my tag line, I would like to elaborate...to me the election this time around is about more than Democrat versus Republican or Liberal versus Conservative...It is really about Liberty versus Tyranny and National Sovereignty versus Globalism...

Vote for who you wish, but I do apologize and do not want you to feel blackmailed into voting for anyone.

Ted Cruz has not embraced the establishment, the establishment has grudgingly embraced -him-. Meanwhile, Little Donald has been a crony capitalist for decades, wheeling and dealing with insiders on both sides of the aisle. I don’t base my vote on who likes or dislikes a candidate. I base my vote on a combination of their stated positions, their past behavior, and my gut instincts.

These combined tell me Cruz would govern far more conservatively than Trump. And if Trump wins, he can do it with all his crossover Democrat friends who will expect him to govern like a Democrat and shove a little government graft their way for a change. In any event, Little Donald can do it without my vote.

That East coast candidate swept the south, which was supposed to be Cruz
Country.

And that East Coast candidate is about to sweep the north too.

It won’t be long and Cruz will be back in the senate shutting down the
Govt every 6 months or so.
So much for the anointed one and the Priesthood rising nonsense.

Trump is NOTHING like Romney and your posts are laughable.

Romney not only couldn't get the base excited about him, he couldn't attract Dem, blacks, or anyone else. Trump can and does. LOL

I think the Cruz campaign media marketers use this login as multiple people working different shifts, they just login with this one. I’ve seen posts well into the 4 am EST range.

I’ve worked in Internet marketing for most of my life, I know how it works :)

No it can’t; from here on out, Cruz is at a great disadvantage re winning any states; though Indiana is a “who knows” at this point.

Matters not what the internet stranger thinks of you. The self imposed stain of hypocrisy remains, despite your protestations.

Thanks very much. I’ll try to look at the links tomorrow when my brain has rested from my very upsetting, emotional day. My French Bulldog puppy was stolen from my yard early yesterday morning and I was very fortunate to get him back late in the afternoon. I had the Police out looking for him, too!

I’m trying to get him to take his medication from his Vet but he’s onto all my tricks. He must take it!

Thanks for your polite and considerate reply. If Immigration were my #1 issue, perhaps I would consider Trump, but it is not. The size and scope of government is, and Trump has some positions related to that that are troubling to me. If not voting Trump ushers in another Democrat, so be it, but I am not going to vote for another moderate Republican. If Trump truly brings over as many Democrats as the Trump people think, then he can win just fine without us conservatives, and at least my conscience will be clear knowing I didn’t have to hold my nose and vote moderate GOP yet again.

Bernie Sanders gets a lot of Dems and blacks excited for HIM, too. Doesn’t mean I want to see him as president.

You don't have any idea what the facts are re Trump and his policies!

His opposition to corporate inversion is so CONSERVATIVE, it's mind blowing!

You have NO idea what CONSERVATIVE means/is!

His health INSURANCE policies are not vague; unlike Cruz's, whose every single "plan" is vague and wrong. Since WHEN is a VAT "conservative" on top of income taxes ?

Please don't vote and please either don't post to FR, or find a nice little section to hide in, where perhaps you know SOMETHING factual about the topic!

But you realize Romney is supporting Cruz, along with the rest of the GOPe that has let you down before, right?

If you actuslly listen to Trumps speeches, they are a fresh of breath air and don’t sound like a rehearsed act. You realize any politician can stand up reciting the conservative jargon that everyone wants to hear, and then do the opposite when in office? Politicians are skilled liers, and say whatever it takes to get votes.

Whatever anyone can say about Trump, he’s not politician, you can tell by his mis speaks that he doesn’t rehearse a planned speech, and that’s why he is the choice for millions who are sick of getting lied to by career politicians.

Then you can't and shouldn't vote for Cruz, either, because he is far LESS "conservative" than Trump, believes in importing 1,000s more H-1Bers, no matter what he has mumbled of late, has an extremely European lefty tax plan, and all in all is worse than Romney; whom I have always detested.

I have posted NO "untruths" at all. I post FACTS!

I think you’re confusing ‘Nationalist’ with ‘Conservative’. I am defining ‘Conservative’ as ‘classical enlightenment liberalism’, the sort the country was founded upon, which expounds individualism and limited government. Trump’s plans are definitely protectionist and nationalist, and thus more big-government than I would like.

As for me stopping posting just because you wish it, or I disagree with you, fat chance ;) Just because you support Little Donald doesn’t mean your skin needs to be as thin as HIS is!
