As I said before, hosepipe, Cruz will be at hand for the Constitutional issues.

And do you REALLY think Donald “You’re Fired!” Trump would have a hard time reducing the size of government? Really?

So many here are like the old-line GOP-E who did everything they could to make sure that “troublemaker” Reagan wasn’t elected.

I'll just refer you two to hosepipe's post no 40.

We need a lot more than just a business man now - a LOT more.

We need someone who will bring the Constitution back - get the gov't off our backs.

WE the PEOPLE can take care of the Business end...The duties of the gov't are very limited, Constitutionally - and those duties are being ignored...

Trump and Cruz — whose Constitutional credentials are impeccable — appear to have an alliance of sorts.

Trump has said many times he, like Reagan, would surround himself with the best people and let them get to work.

What are you afraid of?

constitution left the barn. Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh proves it. get over it. it’s gone. no one under thirty even knows there is a constitution. old racist white guys made it up.


I see so you do not know what the problem IS...

The RIGHT President can FIX THAT.. quickly.. efficiently..
Trump is not THAT MAN..
In weeks(maybe days) he could put Washington D.C. into a turmoil..
How to do FIX things there.. FIRE the wrong guys and hire the right guys.. any idiot knows that.. even Trump.
Hire guys to oversee the DEMISE of that(some) agencys..
Not all agencys just certain ones.. in an orderly manner..

Making BLOATED Rogue government more efficient fixes NOTHING..

REVAMPING Washington D.C. might... from A street to Z Street.. Cruz is that man.. Trump will only make it worse..

Trump’s all talk... he says he knows what do, HE DOESN’T..

Cruz is a Do’er.. AND knows exactly WHAT TO DO.. in the right way.. without busting all the china.. except that that needs busting..

Ted Cruz / Mike Lee... 2016....

Trump is an executive...how many steps above a community organizer? Just couldn’t resist the similarity except with an executive you are a capitalist and a community organizer is a communist/socialist.

Then there is Jesus, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Even Trump will someday kneel.

I was lucky enough to grow during the Vietnam War and witness the Left in that time in our nation. It left a mark on my psyche that never left.

There is no way I could ever be a Democrat. I can’t even be a died in the wool Republican any longer.

If Reagan were alive today, he’d say, “I didn’t leave the Democrat party. It left me. I didn’t leave the Republican party either. It followed the Democrats and left me too.” And it would be the truth.

My point is, with few exceptions, my core beliefs haven’t change during my life. Abortion is the one thing that I would say I had to come to terms with.

I was never in favor of it, but I didn’t focus on it, and I more or less agreed it was a matter of choice by default.

I confronted that issue in the mid 90s, and found I was off base. Since that time I have wanted to find a way to eliminate abortions as much as is possible.

It’s my take that Trump roughly parallels my pre conversion on abortion. He just never actually addressed many issues intellectually. He gave flippant answers that he thought were right.

He strikes me as a guy that worked long hours and spent little time actually studying political stances. Once he had to because he was coming into politics, it force him to develop a better understanding an hone his beliefs.

I don’t know what else to attribute his changes to. If he’s simply gaming us, it would have to be a very detailed effort. He knows stuff that only a true Conservative would have know.

The Bergdahl situation for instance. He knows he was a deserter. He knows six troops died trying to find him. He knows the six guys trade for him are top level terrorists and are back in the field. He knows that we shouldn’t have even cared about getting Bergdahl back. He thinks he’s a traitor. He also thinks Bergdahl was surprised he wasn’t treated better.

This guy isn’t just up to speed cosmetically. He knows what he is talking about. And he has made it clear, he wants to know more, by meeting with and talking to people like Sessions.

There’s too much going on there IMO< for him to simply be lying to everyone.

Do you hold the same standard to every Republican running for President?

Most were Amnesty Supporters, but magically they have evolved. Flip flops as far as the eye can see. How many of them enabled Obamacare expansion? How many of them did nothing to stop the Obama Transformation of America?

Heck, I’m a Cruz guy and I’m not happy with his idea to increase H1-B Legal Immigration. I like Trump’s plan.

Trump with the help of Senator Jeff Sessions outlines an Immigration Plan that finally rids us of Anchor Babies and the Republican contenders are acting like Trump dropped a Baby Ruth in their Swimming Pool.

It’s a long process. I don’t have a Crystal Ball, but I do know that if the Republican Field doesn’t get their act together they will have a heck of a time taking Trump out.

No.. I think Trump has no idea of reducing fed. gov’t.. BUT EXPANDING IT.. and raising TAXES to do it..

A more efficient fed. gov’t massive and rogue getting bigger is not the answer..

Even he deports some aliens.... a good thing..

BUT that will not FIX the fed gov’t.. Trump will feed the fed. gov’t..
Like the plant in that movie.. “FEED ME”.. and he will..

Just have to disagree. I don’t think Trump would stand for sloth and inefficiency, which is the federal government top to bottom.

Putting A Constitutional Lawyer(Ted Cruz) in charge just might save the day...
LOL! Yea he's one hell of a Constitutional Lawyer. I think it was Trump (Yea Trump the business man) that schooled the brilliant constitutional lawyer on what the words in the 14th amendment mean.

I won't even go into why a brilliant "constitutional lawyer" would vote for a plan that takes away HIS constitutional right of veto and give it all away to a anti-constitutional progressive, possibly putting us and Israel in jeopardy.

Yea, that's what we need more talking, debating, letter writing lawyers who admit they have to have bipartisan support to know how to proceed.

More dimwit lawyers is what this country needs "to save the day". Lord knows we don't already have enough. < /sarcasm >

As I said before, hosepipe, Cruz will be at hand for the Constitutional issues.

If Trump is President, he wont want Cruz anywhere in the picture - or any other intelligent, competent man...and definitely not a woman. He has great disdain for women, altho' you may not have noticed. His slurs against and to women have nothing to do with Political Correctness, either. His remarks are plain gutter-crude. And there's a clue: if he were really a conservative, the dems and the media would've climbed all over him and run him out of town by now on just ONE of the ugly remarks. He's one of theirs - He's the Clinton's Perot. It worked for Bill, after all.

Trump isn't about to let the spotlight shine on anyone but himself....

Quote: Trump has long had some relationship with fellow New Yorkers Bill and Hillary Clinton. He donated to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaigns in 2000 and 2006, her presidential campaign in 2008, and has given at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. And Clinton sat in the front row of Trump’s 2005 wedding. Trump aides told The Washington Post Wednesday that Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to run for president. "

Er, you do know Cruz and Trump are doing a big event together shortly, do you not?

I think you’re working some agenda I can’t fathom.

Well maine-iac7, since you enjoy referrals, I’ll refer you and hosepipe to the fact that the more you grunt and grumble, the stronger Trump gets.

And have you bothered to notice that Trump and Cruz are building a formidable team?

So keep on grunting and stomp your feet while you’re at it! It’s doing wonders! Trump and Cruz thank you for your support!!!

-----------------------------------------------

Thats right Louie.. he is..

How can "You" make judgments on who a good lawyer is, or not?..
What do you know?.. Do you know anything?..
Ted Cruz is easily researched as to his competence..

Easy to find out he a prodigy talent..
Alan Dershowbiz says he's the smartest lawyer he ever taught..

YOU?.... and you say he's not?.. are the you guy on the movie Princess Bride..
