Let’s face it - over the last few years, we have witnessed the hackification of the tea parties. They’re just more of the same old same old, why is why all their elected officials “go Washington” as soon as they get there.

Budget: Cruz has made massive financial deals, has put tens of thosuands of people to work, has run a billion dollar business, and protected a bottom line. Next flight of fantasy...
Civil Liberties: Trump has said he'll round up and deport illegal immigrants, build a wall that is 60 feet tall along our border. This results in his red marker on civil liberties. No sale.
Free Market: The "FREE MARKET"... Nothing in life is free. The cost of this "FREE MARKET" has been tens of millions of U. S. jobs. Trump wants to bring them back. That warrants a red marker. LOL
Health Care and Entitlements: Trump has proposed a private sector replacement of Obamacare. He wants to reduce entitlements as part of getting the budget under control. This red marker is simply proposterous.
Moral issues: What moral issues? Good grief. Name one moral issue Trump has a problem with.
Second Amendment: This is simply a fraud. Trump has a paper on Second Amendment rights, and it's recognized as a good one.
Taxes, Economy, and Trade: Trump's tax position is good. His economic experience is second to very few U. S. Citizens. His trade view are more solid than any other candidate's.
In Cruz's favor, his free market mark isn't deserved either.
Trump is the go to guy because of his economic experience. He is solid on other issues as well, but second to illegal immigration, our national debt and related matters are vitally important and need to be addressed. Trump is the only candidate with the experience necessary to do that.
Cruz supporters are pleased to drop this bomb on the forum.
It isn't an accurate display on Trump. As such it's actually a smear on Cruz when his supporters tout it as a reason to support Cruz. What they should be doing is pointing out the obvious flaws in this ranking. And RANK is the proper word here....

Sounds like at least the TP in NC aren’t real sharp. While Cruz is better than most in the race, he IS beholden to his big bizness and cheap labor and lobbyist donors. Cruz is NOT a free man, politically. The two pro-Obola votes he cast this year prove it.

That really smells of some kind of compromise. If he’d frankly come out and said whom he had thought it would benefit, it would be better than these excuses. A sin, an error, even a mistake, can be learned from. An excuse can’t.

You should take this up with the Conservative Review’s Editor-in-Chief. You may get this answer: GET OFF THE PHONE, YOU BIG DOPE!

To dig no further would mean basically “Oh, trust the ACU.” But this isn’t even comparing apples to oranges. The ACU, at best, ranks politicians and all are evaluated on the same template. But here, we have one politician and two outsiders. How would Cruz have looked as a political newcomer? Virtues would have gotten scoffed away.

Yep, we are all responsible for whom we trust. It’s easy enough with Google to track when this factoid goes up, if tiresome to meet it with replies every single time.

That’s why I said what I did. Cruz has supporters that are lying for him. They’re here on the forum doing it.
Trump has position papers on some of that, and statements on the rest.
The ratings are fraudulent. It’s that simple.

Overall direction matters too.
Everybody makes mistakes; if they haven’t, at least not visibly, they have never tried anything new.
Who will consider the outcomes and learn? I’m actually less fearful about Trump than Cruz. Cruz has a pretty solid picture where he’s at, in the Senate, with a few questionable moves. With Trump there is a credible convergence process underway, with the desires of larger America being the touchstone. Trump knows how to learn from rednecks, in other words.

Obviously the freepers who are familiar with that line and the person who likes to use it, would not be very worshipful of Trump.

I don’t think I ever heard his excuse.
And I’m not happy to say this in regard to Cruz, because I was pulling for him as the best we had available, until Trump announced and I scrutinized HIM for a month.
As a young man I had an old Christian mentor who had a thousand wise old sayings. One he told me severa times was, “Tommy, if you look an excuse over real close, you’ll usually discover that it’s really just the skin of a reason, with a lie stuffed into it.”

Cruz is way freer than Trump!
Trump is a heavy duty employer of illegal aliens.
Cruz has a list of accomplishments that even beats what Reagan had when he started.
Yes, the TEA party is quite sharp everywhere, and your trolling proves it in spades.

I hate to say it, but all this really shows is how out of step the tea parties are with the base of the GOP.
The base is going for Trump big time, while a few right-leaning tea party politicos are going for Cruz. Goes to show that the TPs are more establishment than they are outsider.You assume that the GOP base is for the establishment. This year, more than ever, this is clearly untrue.
You also assume that only the GOP base is for Trump. Also clearly not true. Many many people who do not usually pay attention this early, or to debates, are tuning in because of Trump. The ratings alone bear this out.
(I'm all-in for Cruz as the nominee, but I will vote for Trump 3rd Party if the GOP nominates anyone other than Cruz, Carson, or Trump.)

Polling that has been don based on registration data shows 63% of GOP likely voters oppose Trump unequivocally. (his solid negatives)
