Slate is looking for a fight between Cruz and Trump.

....actually, those of us who bothered to read the article know this is NOT the point of the piece. In fact, it lays out why it won't happen.

I submit that Bush I was an incompetent boob who squandered and dismantled every good political benefit that had been bequeathed to him by the greatest President of the 20th century, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Due to Bush I screwing the pooch, THAT is why we ended up with a serial rapist and predator in the form of William Jefferson Clinton, who with his grifter wife, sold out our national security to the Communist Chinese, among many other offenses, and if THAT doesn’t qualify as ‘among the worst’, I don’t know what does.

Here is the difference between those past elections and this one: we have suffered through eight years of treason under that Kenyan fraud in the White House, aided and abetted by a spineless and complicit GOP in Congress, enabled and encouraged by a compromised and corrupted media, and THAT is why Trump has the support he has, the American people are saying ‘enough is enough’ and Trump may not be the perfect conservative (something which simply doesn’t exist in the real world) but he’s conservative enough to turn this mess around, political, economic and military.

You are the arch-typical example of the Basher.

Nothing you post is in any way related to real life.

Nothing you post is offered for anyone’s betterment.

and by substantive, you mean something like “I’m leading him by so much, he’ll be easy to beat” and so on?

The only thing I have in common with Donnie-boy is that neither of us will ever hold elective public office.

You still did not answer my question. You are on a site where the owner also supports Trump. Yet, you continue to bash him. Why? Do you think doing so makes your candidate stronger? Real question.

Trump is not a conservative. Never has been never will be. He is a populist who has struck a chord with a lot of Americans who are sick of open borders, jihadists and 32 hour work weeks. He may or may not ride that to the White House but he will never govern as a conservative if he gets there. I believe he will get the wall built if he gets there so if its between him and the Beast I’ll vote for Trump but I will do it with eyes wide open knowing that Trump will be all over the place on policy.

That's kinda where I am....it's some of the supporters who worry me more than Trump himself. If he gets in there, he'll prove you and I correct without a doubt.

She must have slithered off to her Cruz live rally thread.

Maybe we should all go there. ROTFL

1. In response to Cruz bashers and gloaters.
2. Trump deserves it. I won’t vote for him if he is the nominee. And if he wins in my mind it is guaranteed LIBERALS he will put on the SC and all other benches
3. His multiple changes between his campaign position eliminates him for me. To trumpees absolutely none of that matters which I find confusing.
4. His response to any real or perceived criticism is the most childish I remember in any politician besides Bambi, speaking of which his deal about mandating death penalties confirms for me he will happily continue Bambi’s use of EO to NOT FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION.
5. The dream of trumpees that Cruz wants or would be VP candidate. Trump won’t get the nomination. If he offered it to Cruz he would be a fool to take it. Cruz is not a fool.
6. With such a man with real values from whom Trump has taken many of the same positions, why would anyone want a fake? Cruz has more knowledge of issues and such an even temperament.
I have reached the conclusion trumpees expect him to obfuscate, stretch the truth, lie, and love his calling people names, belittling and will defend him no matter what he says or does.

I case you haven’t noticed libbylu facts are not always appreciated at FR.:)

I’m hoping for the best from Trump, but it’s awfully hard to trust someone who voted for Obama.

I’ve noticed that there are rumblings of engagement, but that’s about it. I assume (because I won’t click through to Salon) that Salon, otoh, is looking for a knock-down, drag-out not a few snipes. Damage is what Salon wants, not a few sparks.

Ted hands out teddy bears to illegals at the border with Glen Beck.

It's because Ted and beck want to 'Make America Greet Again'.

He didn’t vote for Obama. That tweet was photoshopped.
