I don’t believe you’ve been paying attention if you can say/ believe that.

There’s more to social collapse than gay marriage and abortion. Most people are worried about mere survival and would like to perhaps claw back the quality of life they lost. More important than that, safety and security are at a critical point with open borders and hamstrung law enforcement.
Not everyone shares your priorities.

Cruz is the one who needs to worry about his New York values comment.

I live in Tennessee and most everyone I talk to is supporting Trump. They don’t care that he is from New York. They care that he is on their side.

I don’t disagree with you. I look at the country as a bucket full of water. Inside the bucket are social issues, and I do not consider immigration and protection of our border as one of those issues. The rim of the bucket is our border. There is no point on trying to empty the bucket until you stop the water from coming over the side.

There are those that want to empty the bucket (Cruz), those who want to stop the water from coming over the side (Trump) and those who just say, “let’s get another bucket (Establishment) On the rat side, they are less complicated (We will make Americans buy everyone a bathing suit).

I like Cruz, but I think what is going to hamper him is whether he is going to stop the water from coming in first or to empty the bucket first. Trump will stop the water from coming in, but in my humble opinion, instead of emptying the bucket next, he may just let nature take its course and the water will evaporate.

I like your bucket of water analogy. Well said!

Great analogy! I am counting on him emptying the bucket ASAP- as he says he will do. And, I believe he’s got enough of us behind him; clamoring for it, that it will happen- if only the election isn’t stolen from us.

;-)) RP attitude had certainly seemed to change direction the evening of the last debate.

They’ll not roll over and spread their legs but they will force themselves to smile.

No. Cruz really screwed up. He has now made two big mistakes, not getting the birth issue off the table early, now this. He won’t get a third.

Important to repeat: when you base your campaign on “holiness” and “putting on the armor of God” there is nowhere to go but down because EVERY campaign has stuff like these loans, but now the credibility is challenged.

The GOPE couldn’t beat him so now they will try to corrupt him.

I missed the Cruz revival campaign. Was this part of his announcement? I am still wondering exactly by what method Cruz intends to revoke citizenship of Americans joining terrorists gangs.

Yup same goes for Senator Cruz, who no doubt fold like cheap suite, much like he did on Corker Amendment, and TPA/TPP trade deal. Neither of those two would hold their fundamental obligations, of their oath of office. Sure their campaigning on some goodies, that they would enact on but are few good stuff worth throwing away our Liberty and the ideals of founder’s? I don’t think they are don’t get me wrong, I want a secure border and a sound economy and strong military, but I want those things with the strong context, of the intent of the founder’s true Constitutional originality. I want a true President who is not bound by big time doners, or special interest groups or sleezy political advisors, instead I want a President who is bound by the sovereignty of God and God’s reason one who will bring about true Judeo-Christian conservative values, and who will not under any circumstances compromise those values. I want a President a who stand firm on the natural order of God’s law’s who will uphold the true sanctity of life of the unborn and who will stand firm on true sanctity of marriage, I want a leader who will be a true allies to Israel, who stand shoulder to shoulder with them not compromise their interests or bring about true threat to their land it’s not asking too much for a true President to stand on these things. But in all honesty I don’t think neither Cruz, or Trump will implement these things of which I speak which is why in good faith I cannot support not vote for either of one them. You agree yes?
