Cruz could have done the same, and Sanatorum, for that matter. But they did not. It doesn’t mean they supported Amnesty, it just meant that they felt constrained by party dictatesSez it all right there.
Good one.
Knock me out!
America has made up its collective mind. Trump has garnered the broad support of EVERYONE nationally! The others are simply in the way.
If he hangs up the South and can also take Florida, by March he is in the walk to the nomination and there will be no convention floor fight.
dude, understood....been there, done that. In fact, some would say quite often....:)

Spot on, but Donald’s people are ingenious at branding with sound bites. They’ve already started painting Rubio for the absences in the Senate, especially where he chose to attend fundraisers in California rather than be in Washington voting on an extremely important Homeland Security Bill.
Trump is also leading Rubio in Rubio’s own state.
Rubio will be history soon enough.
Won’t be much change...probably a bump for Trump.
Probably...
Thank you.
Carson is a kook. Rubio is for amnesty. Trump is for AMERICA!!
Considering every rally Trump has has between 8 to 15 thousand people, sometimes more, and the fact that Trump has been leading or tieing in the polls at the minimum since he announced, you literally have no reason to suspect that.
How many of those people at the rallies are registered to vote in Republican primaries? How many will actually show up and vote? When the other candidates drop out, where will their votes go, to Trump or to Cruz or Rubio? All this remains to be seen.
Exactly why would you suggest the idea that supporters of a candidate aren't registering to vote?
Thanks BobL. Great tidbit.
“Cruz could have done the same, and Sanatorum, for that matter. But they did not. It doesn’t mean they supported Amnesty, it just meant that they felt constrained by party dictates.”
Which means they could continue that into the White House. If being beholden to anyone - the RNC or donors - changes one’s actions, they cannot be trusted. JMO.
Amen.
And here's a few more discouraging words.
<><> Trump might start hitting Cruz on his votes for the lefty Corker bill and Obama's beloved TPP.
<><> Cruz's fast-tracking TPP vote......knowing Obama considers TPP central to his presidential legacy and to his foreign policy and economic legacies.
<><> Cruz's vote on the Corker bill is a landmine....Corker rallying the radical left to protect Obama on the $150 billion Iran nuclear deal giveaway.
<><> Cruz calling for a 500% increase in H1b work visas.
_____________________________________________
American workers DESPISE H1B Visas. A massive expansion of H1Bs puts struggling Americans out of work.
No 'conservative' in their right mind would ever vote for deals which put Americans out of work. Cruz will not change his position on H1B visas....b/c pro-amnesty Goldman Sachs contributes to his campaign (Cruz's wife is a Goldman Sachs exec).
Club For Growth likes Cruz - they are also for amnesty open borders. ===========================================
Cruz also has highly suspect ties to those Hillary lovers, the Democratic-centric, Goldman Sachs, and, the Council on Foreign Relations.
Cruz's wife is a Goldman Sachs exec.
Mrs Cruz served on the North American Union task force, and supported their report called---'Building a North American Community."
The North/South border effort was sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales.
Translated into English, that means forget US sovereignty....just eradicate US borders.
To be fair, Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship....recently.
“The claim will be made that our enemies new found fear of us, the true unemployment rate plummeting, our trade deficits disappearing, and the American peoples renewed optimism, will be explained with ‘it’s just part of the normal ebb and flow of things, the fact that Trump is president is simply his good fortune.”
Yes, you’re right. I’ve seen it happen too many times to doubt it. Hopefully Trump won’t let them get away with it.
Why would the supporters of a person with an unfocused personal philosophy, who's hazy about the Constitution and specifically the 2nd amendment, support a man who is the exact opposite of Carson. Cruz is iffy for me but he is brilliant. Carson's just an ignorant dumbass who's steeped in urban legend.
