You lose. That is no argument, but one more fine example of one more insult to replace the absence of an argument.

I believe electability counts, I believe TRUMP is moderate, I believe he is all MAN, for a real change, and I believe he is still changing.

I do believe him on his platform and I am prepared for his moving to the middle on dots, and crossed T’s, but mostly I believe he saves us from Hillary, will rebuild the military, defeats ISIS, STOPS immigration, protects our economy, restores the damn Justice Department, and is the ONLY man who has a prayer at accomplishing any of it.

I’ve known individuals with millions in revenue that went bankrupt because their expenses exceeded their revenue.

Wait.......Didn’t that happen to Trump?

Four times?

Hillary is famous because she is Bill Clinton's wife. Otherwise, no one would ever have heard of her.

Donald Trump is famous because he wanted to be a celebrity, was a billionaire, and marketed himself into fame using mainstream media of books, periodicals, and television. Otherwise, no one would ever have heard of him.

As Bette Davis said, "Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night."

That's okay, since there's 9.5 billion, 22 thousand reasons why you don't either!

Maybe you SHOULD elect Trump’s history or at least take a closer look at it. So basically you just admitted to blindly supporting the man.

What guarantees do you have that Trump will deliver and actually do anything about immigration? Because he says so? I prefer to look at his actions, which do NOT speak well of Trump.

However, you Trumpets continuously attempt to tear apart Cruz’s past, while excusing Trump’s and saying you’re ‘not electing Trump’s past’. You can’t have it both ways. If Cruz’s past actions are an indicator of his future potential then Trump’s past is also an indicator.

I’m born and bred a Texas and, yes, we do want the illegals that are coming here gone and we don’t want them back. That has been pretty consistent for most Texas conservatives for decades so Trump’s support of amnesty is not excusable. Besides, you just admitted that Trump has been “for* immigration” aka amnesty, but then you condemn Cruz for not being hard enough on immigration. You can’t prove Trump won’t go back to his roots and become pro-amnesty again once elected. I’m just tired of the hypocrisy from the Trumpets.

Trump will get the same reception from conservatives for bypassing congress that Obama got. It is still wrong and won’t help anything. A good example is Trump saying he will build the wall, which we do need. He can’t do anything without congress and if he tries then nothing will get done because congress won’t fund the wall and Trump, for all of his bloated rhetoric, can’t fund the wall without congress. We are a republic for a reason; not a dictatorship.

I think you will find out Trump does not have anything other than reality tv shock appeal, which is always short lived. He will not appeal to conservatives (and no...libertarians are NOT conservatives) because the rest of his policies are liberal. That is why he is the only candidate polling behind or even with Hillary and the rest of the candidates are polling ahead of Hillary in the general election.

If electability is all that matters to you over principles and values then you are no different than an Obamabot. You are clearly not thinking in the best interest of this country.

So why is Cruz’ campaign selling enlarged, framed copies of this creepy, disgusting photoshop to raise campaign cash?

And you call others deranged.

I am thinking that giving to politicians is not “buying” politicians in a criminal transaction. He knows them all. Well.

I took issue with the term, “buying” attributed to TRUMP, in the absence of the NRSC nefarious games with the Barbour boys “buying” the election in Mississippi. Absolutely the worst kind of “buying” elections to defeat the conservative who was leading in the polls. Criminal, as a representative of the people.

Could you possibly find a quote from Senator Cruz, (my senator), wherein he uttered even a word or a letter in opposition to the “Mississippi Treatment” scandal and the NRSC role in it?

Back to TRUMP, I am thinking that the Unions are political and that politicians are advanced by Unions, in NEW YORK.

To contribute to pols in NYC and NY state is vicariously to contribute to those in construction. TRUMP is nothing if not in construction, negotiating Union wages, and Union disciplines in order to build the best, in the worst conditions. I give him a HUUUUUUGE pass, certainly compared to dalliances with McConnell’s NSRC.

Evidently Rush Limbaugh isn’t buying Forbes’ Trump story:

Cheap shot and hysteric much?

TRUMP is not pro-abortion. Facts are facts, as you finally belched up.

In Iowa, TRUMP should not be counted out. TRUMP has plenty of evangelicals, or he wouldn’t be polling great in Iowa and across the South.

Coolest is that he is actually electable to boot.

When Trump says he “Owns” politicians, I take it to mean he bought them.

Cheap shot?? Why...because I used your own words and Trump’s own words against you?

Yes, Trump is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage. He is on recorded stating as much several times during the last 3 decades. Good grief, do Trumpets ever read anything from Trump prior to 2015???

Cruz has 90% of the evangelical vote. Trump is not polling well with them and it will only get worse over time. Trump won’t win Texas either.

I do find it funny that Trumpets support those polls that show Trump polling well, but then dismiss all of those polls that show him polling poorly.
