Trump has said he just uses the system as it is to make money.
He has seen what the Clinton’s have done to make money.
He knows he can do better, and legally, than the Clinton’s.
If he makes a lot of money making the country great again, that is better than Yeb and others.

As Cruz, and others, have said, anyone on this stage is better than Hillary (or Obama).

Cruz is still my first choice.

Who is he following? There is no one else in Washington snugging up to Cruz

Except his corporate donors.

No one knows what Trump will do; they only know what he says he will do.
He has no record and has supported liberals in the past.
He is a great salesman and lots of folks have abandoned what they claim to believe due to his sales pitch.

Jimmy Carter banned immigrants from IRAN not of a certain religion, which shows your ignorance on this topic. Cruz has already suggested doing what Carter did and ban people from terrorist supporting countries, which is legal and would stop most muslim immigration.

It is illegal to discriminate or persecute based on religion. That is the law and the reason that banning muslims is absurd and will never work.

Not to mention, do you actually think muslims will tell you that they are muslims if we ban muslim immigrtation if they are intent on attacking our country?? If you’re that naive then maybe our litmus test should just be to ban all muslims admitting to future attacks on the U.S. That makes about as much sense.

Sorry, but TRUMP has already plead on that. He said, “GUILTY, AS CHARGED”, and gave reason.

Now, we’re movin’ on and it’ really fun out here.

One big problem in the article. The claim that Hillary will beat Trump is total nonsense.

Trump has amassed a fortune by buying favor with politicians. I’m just not that excited that now he has decided he wants Power to go along with it.

There is no record that Trump has ever taken a stand for anything other than his own interests. I’m not in the mood to cast my vote on blind faith.

Your choice of president should not be based on Freepers’ posts. They are not running for president - they tend to unload their feelings/anger/disgust/whatever on line because they think they can say anything on line and will not suffer for it as no one will know who they are.

I liken their posts to a situation I faced every time I went to a state or national convention of Professional Counselors. Those counselors in my area I knew who went to these conventions, became people I did not know. They stayed drunk and caroused around with people of the opposite sex and shared rooms back and forth. They thought they were safe away from home, no one would know, and they did their thing. I believe posters who post nasty/cutting remarks to others are like these counselors - no one will know they did it, so they do it.

Let your common sense determine the best candidate based on your conservative criteria.

Cruz did not support the Corker bill or TPA.

Are you using the word "support" because you know he voted for both but want to make some kind of "well, he voted unwillingly!" kind of argument? Though with TPA, yes, he supported it. He campaigned for it. He ridiculed conservatives as internet conspiracy kooks and parroted Paul Ryan talking points about how the bill "does not affect immigration law," shutting down debate on what it really does. And then after he campaigned for it and voted to bring it to the floor, even voting against amendments that would have made it better, he got bombarded on his facebook page by THOUSANDS of supporters, and then, all of a sudden, claimed that McConnel had tricked him and voted against it at the last minute-- after its passage was guaranteed.

If Trump rids the nation of illegal aliens and murdering islamists and nothing else it will still have been worth electing him. IMO

Ok, but if you give Trump a pass on all of his “Guilty As Charged” support of the democrats and liberal agenda for the last 30 years then you have to give Cruz a pass on those few issues that Trump supporters now claim show Cruz waffled on his conservative values. You can’t have it both ways. If you hold Cruz accountable then you must hold Trump accountable too!

One of a major new series of "please don't throw me in the brier patch" articles.

Oh....ok.

Do we have anything beyond this? Because according to these fawning bloggers, Cruz has derailed Obama’s agenda all by his lonesome and literally runs the congress.

Cruz has demonstrated himself a very able politician. And that’s the problem.
