I believe that Sessions knows what he is doing. I have no reason to think that whst you advise is prudent or neccessary. Thank you for suggestion though.

Anyone who believes those proposals by Cruz are good for the American worker should read Jeff Sessions on those issues.

Everyone seems to have a different definition of what a conservative is.

To be blunt, considering the mood in 2015 America, millions now longer give a s*** how you or anyone else define it. Republican, GOP, progressive, GOPe, conservative, Rhino, Democrats, socialist etc. Few even care about these political camps.

Few cares about the insiders party brand. Americans by the millions have reached that point. Trust me.

We are electing a president and leader, not a member of some political club. Hopefully a genuine leader who understands what the hell is needed to fix this epic disaster. We've had the political club "business as usual" well connected politicians who are owned for decades. The results are obvious.

We'd better get it right and we better do it soon.

Amen, we can’t afford to screw this one up. Neither can we afford a wishy, washy, candidate who says one thing and once in office - does another, or bows to the donor class and lobbyists to do their bidding. As much as I revere Ronald Reagan and everyone likes to toot his bona-fides conservatism, he signed that disastrous amnesty bill in 1986. That was far from a conservative thing to do.

Hey, sister, check your calendar. I don’t know where y’all are at in Georgia, but it’s still August over here in Texas. My senator is chugging along nicely, don’t you worry about that.

And where is Trump on affirmative action and gay marriage? Yeah, you sound just like this establishment types in your support of Trump.

Don’t get me wrong. I like what Trump has to say on immigration and I like him bringing attention to real conservatives like Cruz and Carson, but don’t give be this electability nonsense. 1 in 8 Hispanics will vote for Cruz or Rubio just based on their name alone. Cruz can easily vary the day if conservatives unite behind him.

If Trump wins, I’ll support him, but Cruz is the real deal.

The vote on TPA was on account of McConnell lying straight to his face.

Legal immigration of intelligent, hard working people is a great thing. I have no problem being neighbors with a fellow from India or China that came to this country to work hard, be free, and enjoy life as an American. So, you now, if you stack that against Tyrone the rapper who happened to be born here... I’ll go with the immigrant every time.

Now illegal immigration from Latin America... that’s an entirely different thing.

“Cruz can easily vary the day if conservatives unite behind him.”

Maybe, but so far it hasn’t happened.
No candidate can win with just the base.
Trump attracts a large share of the base as well as moderates and even conservative Democrats.

Cruz can carry the base and should he win the nomination he’ll also carry a lot of Republicans who aren’t rock ribbed conservatives but still vote GOP.
He won’t however pull many independents and almost zero of the Reagan Democrats.

Sorry but the numbers just don’t support that. If they did then Cruz would be leading or at least trending better. He’s not. Trump is.

Pools nexy March will be better indicators. Looks like trump is doing a good job of marginalizing Jeb and Cruz is still working a well-planned strategy that starts with a solid foundation then begins building in earnest.

Palin also didn’t run, we will never be able to gauge what support she would have had in her heyday if she ran. The media hates Cruz too, but what I admire about him is that he’s running anyway. As far as not getting any traction, Cruz is currently number 1 in the Breitbart primary and number 3 in the FOX news poll and he’s doing this despite a media blackout and with Trump sucking all the oxygen out of the room. Cruz will continue to build his base of support in the early primary states and hopefully he won’t be froze out of a debate for 40 minutes like the last FOX debate. It’s early, very early and there’s still a lot of campaigning to be done.

Well, Alabama IS the most conservative state in the union.

Ted Cruz "will" win in places like Alabama

Both of them.

I KNOW where the $$$$$ is going

The $$$$$ are going into the pockets of the treasonous scumbags who hire these people, and until a few of them go to prison, you can't fix this problem.

Yes, they do. Try running a small Christian school, holding back the forces of Satan from poisoning little minds, in the face of 70-80 families all of whom have a different definition of what a Christian is.

It's a Protestant country. What can you do?

Hopefully they will get paid big bucks from their master

Do you have the toll-free number? I seem to have misplaced it.

Depends on what your benchmark is I guess. From 2000-2008 it got lower taxes and a boost in military spending

And 4500 irreplaceable heroes dead, 20 000+ maimed, and $4 trillion wasted, for nothing.
