Slate is looking for a fight between Cruz and Trump. Too bad so many on this sight love to pit on against the other.

Cruz is demonstrating a skill a president must have: avoiding a confrontation for a larger goal.The same can be said of Trump when it comes to his relationship to Cruz.
To: libbylu
It will not be a nasty slugfest. It will be substantive.
And I would put money on that.

A showdown is counterproductive and would do the nation a dis-service.
I am looking for more of a merger!

They both want it. Either one would be OK. Neither one will be dumb enough to blow his chances by doing something as stupid as falling into a trap baited by the MSM or their allies.

You have been posting for days now bashing Trump. I asked you on another thread one very honest question, but you didn’t answer. So I will ask again.
Why do you do it? Serious question.

Trump and Cruz are a tag team.

Be great if Ted and Donald play this against the media together.
Build up a ‘prize match’ for the debate and then act all lovey-dovey.
Not likely but I’d sure love for the media to be hoisted by their own petard.

I absolutely agree.
Either way -
Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump

I would be thrilled to have a Cruz/Trump or Trump/Cruz ticket. I admire and respect both men.

Slate’s John Dickerson should spend some time figuring out how Hillary was so enthralling she commanded millions of dollars for speeches in the ME and Africa - but can’t pull in a two hundred people when the ‘speeches’ are free.
It’s a mystery to us dumb conservatives in flyover - and we know our betters - the elites of Slate - elites like John Dickerson can explain it to us... you know, explain it to the rubes.

The time of choosing is now.
The support and zeal for some of the Donald Trump supporters are in question when ?
By their own admission and words say and make claims that Ted Cruz is your 2nd choice back up saving face plan are having doubts about Trump.
You might say ? “ how so “
By saying and claiming that Ted Cruz is your back up 2nd choice you are having your own personal doubts about Trump.
If you guys are so sure and convinced that Donald Trump won’t fade, that Donald Trump won’t fail to get the nomination, why then ?
Why even bother to have Ted Cruz as your back up 2nd choice if Trump stays in the GOP party ?
Why bother ?
Unless you are having your own doubts about Trump securing the nomination.
Is Ted CRUZ your back up saving face insurance policy just in case Trump does not get the nomination ? Just in case Trump does fade ?
So why then ?
Do the Trump supporters bash and condemn any voice other than Trump supporters who say that Trump might fail, Trump might fade, Trump might not get the nomination when you are having your own doubts about Trump by making Ted CRUZ your 2nd choice ?
Something to consider.
Some of Trump’s supporters support and zeal is in question.
Think about it.
To: Calpublican
It will not be a nasty slugfest. It will be substantive.
Maybe on Cruz's part.
At least at first.
Donald doesn't do substantive very well.
And Cruz is such an easy target it would be hard for Trump not to strike a few low blows.
And I would put money on that.
If you don't mind losing it.

GOPe-MSM-DNC Establishment will FALL to the Ted Cruz-Donald Trump 2016 Victory Campaign : 2015-12-11
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3371447/posts
Their delegate counts for the 2016 GOP Convention will be as follows:
Ted Cruz @ 37.80 percent
Donald Trump @ 27.3 percent
for a total of 65.1 percent ... enough for a "first ballot" nomination.
Ted Cruz will ask Donald Trump to be his Vice President, and Trump will accept.
Trump will pledge his GOP Delegates to Ted Cruz, and the rest will be history.

You have been posting for days now bashing Trump. I asked you on another thread one very honest question, but you didn't answer. So I will ask again.
Why do you do it? Serious question.
I can answer that for you FRiend, libbylu is just one of a relatively minor cadre of posters who either hated Trump before he got into the race, OR quickly jumped on the 'oh Trump isn't a real conservative' bandwagon, and their hatred of the man is truly pathological.
Some of these tortured souls remain bitter from Trump driving out their own favorite candidates (a certain unnamed FReeper who adores Rick Perry and Scott Walker comes to mind, lol) others believe they are the sole arbiters of who 'is' or is 'not' a real conservative, however they fail to take into consideration just WHO Trump counts among his enemies, the 'RATs, RINOs, Karl Rove, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal (who called Trump a 'a madman who must be stopped!', really Bobby? Try the decaf fool!), it can be summed up easily:
When both political parties, the media and the talking heads ALL hate you?
AMERICA LOVES YOU!!
And America (that 'Great Silent Majority') loves Donald Trump. He is virtually unstoppable.
