This blog is part of an Alinskyist campaign to change the agenda to a Cruz vs Trump debate.

It depends on gullible Trump/Cruz supporters to take the bait.

Did he hand out any teddy bears to unaccompanied minors?

‘... sovereignty/demographic issues ... are just the set of issues that are most important right now. Get them wrong, and 20 years from now, who cares what somebody’s position on capital gains tax is?’

This right here, in a nutshell.

+1

When you vote for a functional Democrat, you are voting for more and bigger government.

You are also leaving in place a worse tyrant, the Speaker of the house is much more damaging than a junior representative of the minority party.

Truly he hates America. Thats what Trump supporters are reduced to? No wonder you’re impossible to take seriously.

The fate of America now hinges on Teddy Bears to Children

About legal status, you post about Cruz's position in 2013 and yet you ignore your own candidates position in late July 2015.

And I've pointed this out to you before.

And you continue to do it anyway.

No, can't say that he did. He just gave some(Dreamers) a tour of Trump Tower.

The even shorter version: Trump is better at triage than and of the other candidates.

Exactly.

The problem with Cruz is that he is, when you get right down to it, still a politician. He may be conservative, but he's a still a politician, and his first instinct is still to play the Washington game. He still has half a snout in the trough of donor money. As such, even when he wants to do something that's right, he's going to play the game and try to compromise and try to convince the donors, etc. etc. etc.

Trump doesn't care about any of that.

Trump is the man for the hour right now. Cruz can come along once the pieces are picked up, and be the wise elder statesman we've needed for so long.

If you voted for Romney for example and still defend that idiocy of ‘lesser evil’

Truthfully where I live Romney would get less votes than Karl Marx so out of some deluded notion of what I could actually say with my vote I did check off Romney after promising myself I would not. My bad for sure.

We have very little to argue about and that is mostly for fun but I will vote for Trump not because I am enamored by him but because he will be the opponent of Hillary or whomever the Democrats put forward.

How’s this. If you can produce a comment, with a good link, of Cruz articulating the loss of national sovereignty due to the never-ending horde of unchecked illegal invaders flooding across our wide open borders, and if he/it (1)includes specific references to the survivors of the vast and devastating crime wave wreaked on the US by illegals, and (2) dates from the early days of Cruz’ campaign, I’ll switch from Trump to Cruz.

How’s that?

"Supports Legalization Touchback Amnesty.
Was for no deportation of the non criminals as late as late July 2015.
Affirmative Action support
Obama Stimulus support
Auto Bailout support
Clinton Fund donations
Supported McAuliffe over Cuchinelli in VA
Bank Bailout support with possible nationalization of banks.
Wants greater percentage of Freeloaders in the 0% tax bracket.
Flip on Muslim ban
Late "conversion" to pro life.
Planned Parenthood flip.
Support excessive tariffs
Hints at more regulations for money in politics.
Against Jerusalem as Capital.
For confiscatory taxes on the rich
For ethanol Subsidies"

FINE!

Except for those, though, and the ones I mentioned - oh, and the fact that he wants to add faggots/dykes to the classes protected by employment discrimination laws - he has a pretty conservative record, wouldn't you say?

"The enmity of the GOP-e towards both is what says it all. Or ought to."

This blog intends (or pretends) to support Trump, but it really supports the Establishment.

The two leading candidates are anti-Establishment, so the conversation is directed to a Trump vs Cruz debate.

It is sad to see so much gullibility at FR.

Excellent post.

The two big reasons I like Trump
#1 He is NOT a lawyer!
#2 Trump is the only candidate who can take out both the Clinton & Bush dynasties at the same time while forcing the RNC to follow it’s own platform. Let me know when another candidate can do that!

Government shouldn’t force any of it - but I have the right to call it gutless, which I do. Not all comments, but all columnists and the asshole posters. If you’re gonna publish or come with a strong take, be man enough to own it. If not, you have no respect. You are just off your meds.

I fundamentally disagree. What is 'gutless' is to reject someone's opinion for the sole reason that they choose to express it anonymously. Liberals are the ones who consistently want to bar anonymous commenting. But go ahead with your usual arrogant, ad hominem attacks. It speaks volumes.

I also wasn’t talking about just commenters...I was mainly referring to WEBSITE COLUMNISTS who produce work under a non name.

Complete B.S. You attacked him as a commenter. He is not a website columnist.

{There are fake Trump/Cruz supporters stirring up Trump vs Cruz nastiness.
You took the bait.}

Took the bait? Hell, he baited the damn hook. His postings are the prototype for a deranged Trump supporter.

Even I admit there are worse fates. But I have no issue with that. What I have a problem with is people that are all gung ho on Trump making people believe he is a conservative savior. Because if and when he wins, there are going to be a lot of disillusioned ‘conservatives’ wondering where the liberalism came from.
