This Millennial is for Cruz!
See? I Told You!
I’m hoping I can get my daughter in college interested in Cruz. She’s pro-Life so she tends to oppose Democrats. However, her friends are very interested in Bernie, and that is a bit of a problem. And she has bought into the story that Trump is an ugly racist. She’s a long way from home so she is encountering new sources of influence — I’m hoping she can get her head on straight a year from now.

Honestly, it sounds like you did a poor job of educating your daughter.

He proves that he can be a strongly Christian evangelical, a firm constitutionalist, and remain culturally relevant.
I saw a 20 something attendee to the Mackinac center event last month speak about how surprised he was that Ted Cruz could speak at length about religious liberty only to step off the stage and chat knowledgeably with an attendee about video games.
She's thinking about 2016 and she hears that Trump is a racist and she has friends who think Bernie is cool. And she's still thinking about 2016.
But I guess I failed as a father.
Its pretty hard to say what the offspring will say after a while in college. As they mature they will find their own path and that’s where the parental influence will begin to reassert itself.
She’s young. Talk to her about politics and morality. That’s what my father did, and I am forever grateful to him.
Academics mean almost nothing in the making of a person.
Lots of lefties have PhDs on strings but it doesn’t help them get through life.
If she really thinks Trump is a racist, she doesn’t have a clue what a racist is. Trump is a swindler, but who is saying it in the news? And why not?
Bernie is not cool, and why doesn’t she know that foundationally?
Why doesn’t hearing such drivel cause her to look elsewhere for companionship? That is what I mean.

So you said she was pro life but thinks that someone who supports abortion on demand is cool? What evidence does she have (other than her cool fiends say so) that Trump is a racist? Have you challenged her on that, or is that what you think as well. What is she getting her doctorate in, basket weaving?
Heard Rush say this about Cruz on the radio today. So refreshing to hear! It was nice to hear Rush speak in such a nice, polite way about Cruz. :-)
Yea right. I remember when Rush came on his program and told us he met with GW Bush and that he (Bush) was a genuine, true conservative...Someone was lied to.
All these string theory doctorates have gotten out of hand. How many theoretical physicists do we really need?
“(Bush) was a genuine, true conservative”
*****
W is as compassionately conservative as Mitten Romney is severely conservative, i.e. Rockefeller Republican socialists pretending to be otherwise to dupe the peasants.
Disregard the nonsense- You merely made the mistake of inadvertently criticizing Trump in the minds of some of his supporters— at which point, some will insult anyone or anything.
About Time ElRushbo got on board
Amen to that, Dan.
Go figure, It’s a positive Cruz thread and somebody comes in and tries to hijack it into a parental skills discussion thread?
