Didn’t one of his groups predict a huge Romney win?

I think Cruz had his weakest performance. He was just all over the place.

Ted does tend to deliver more than sound bites. I see how that might be a problem for some. I am spending some time today looking for a transcript.

Cruz dodged yet again on not being qualified under the original intent of natural born citizen. In dodging, Cruz showed himself to be either a liar or not as smart as everyone claims about the Constitution.

Concurring bump...and welcome.

He showed some fire at the start but, with the conservative base (i.e., PATRIOTS) he will not overcome his Illegal immigrant “amnesty” position.

I was so proud of Trump last night. He was a man among boys. President Trump is what America needs.

Your tagline is incorrect: one does not “Go Galt” by voting for Trump, or Cruz, for that matter. Going Galt means you are going on strike, i.e. not voting.

Anchor baby Rubio does not qualify either. Shocked anyone can vote for folks with this cloud over their head.


I’m shocked anyone here on FR could vote for someone who donated over $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation...has been pro abortion, pro single-payer healthcare supporter...for someone who said Romney’s immigration policy was mean-spirited...

So count me as shocked too!!!!

It seems to me that Trump has for the most part moved on to taking on the Democrats. He has to maintain his vigilance for pygmy encroachments in the primary, but is mostly just keeping a guard up there, while moving toward the offensive against Hillary.

He should have a plan for Sanders too. Sanders has more potential than most think. He is almost a cult figure among the young left - teens to forties.

Likely been here as long as you old fart. Simply stopped posting awhile back because some elitist RINOs on here are crybabies.

So, NOOB, you consider Free Republic to be a bastion of elitist RINOs?

“According to having watched it with my own 2 eyes, and listened to it with my own 2 ears, Trump won.

Having watched it with my own two eyes and listened to it with my own two hearing aid assisted ears, Senator Cruz won.

Make that three of us... I have begun to see Free Republic as the future CNN Forum...everything we ever stood for is going south...and no one see's it happening.. kind of like a Frog being put in cold water and then the water gradually turned up...sad. VERY SAD.

I think a lot of Freepers do see what seems to be happening.

You are not alone!

“I missed the proof. Since you claim he stacked his group to some evil intent, surely you can point me to the proof of that.”

CLEARLY after that first debate, when THE ENTIRE FOCUS GROUP stated Trump was FINISHED (and that even before Megan Kelly). Obviously Luntz had an agenda then, so why shouldn’t he still have it?
