Bet you didn’t know who DTs big sister is either.
She is retired now But was once a colleague, with near identical record, of Sam Alito. She even spoke in his behalf at his senate confirmation hearing.
His advisor on the subject is as close as holiday dinner table. any bet of who is advising him and who might be encouraging her to do the same

Like Cruz supporters turn on us, calling us names just because we don’t agree with you?

I’m sure Cruz will stab you in the back by giving illegals amnesty, along with teddy bears. He refused to say anything about them, condescendingly saying Americans don’t want to have that conversation. Then he refused to say deport. He was against Prop 187 in California.

Only because Trump was running away in the polls by protecting American workers did he follow Trump. But his donors will reel him in if he wins.

The thousands that are showing up for Trumps rallies are not going to vote for Levin and Rush in the next election cycle.

If they start to bash Trump non stop, watch THEIR numbers go down.

Americans are tired of being told by the RNC, the lame street media and yes, even Levin and Rush who to vote for when they are wrong.

Newt Gingrich will likely stand by Trump as he sees those that are pro Trump are not going to listen to what Levin and Rush say if they continue to trash Trump. We will turn the channel.

Levin and Rush could not draw the crowds that Trump is day in and day out. They are not running for President. Trump is getting flack from all sides now. That shows he is right over the target and Americans are fed up. Only Trump has the courage to go against the giants and he has been leading the way since June.

This is getting downright embarrassing. You Trump people need to get out while you still have some dignity. I know how it feels. I supported someone similar. Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger? We could have had Tom McClintock as Governor. But oh nooo. Arnold was going to save California. We sure were fooled.

You're not hearing me. The big problem is that those loans do not support the narrative Cruz has written for himself in his run for the nomination.

His wife's Goldman Sachs employment was a question no one pursued; it's personal. But the loans change that and bring up the question of whom influences Ted Cruz, and whom would benefit from a Cruz presidency.

He probably doesn't have the legal standing to pursue the case in the first place.

Actually, Trump would have standing since as a presidential candidate, he could claim a particularized injury from the presence of an ineligible candidate siphoning votes which Trump could claim in part would otherwise go to him. Polling this morning showing Trump wins every head to head challenge against the other Republicans, save for Cruz, could be compelling proof.

Sorry

While I suspect Cruz does personally like Trump, I would probably take the position of the Cruz bashers if he actually aligned himself with Trump at this point.

There are legitimate conspiracies and there are silly theories. Both can be fun or useful to consider for different reasons. At this point a Trump and Cruz tag team isn’t remotely on my radar. Trump being drafted for negative reasons is however.

I guess we will see who is right.

You know how short sided sounding discounting the most respected and widely listen to conservative voice (Rush) in country is?

Trump has stepped in it big time now.

That is asinine. Getting a loan from a bank using your own assets as collateral has nothing to do with politics.

Trump is getting flack from all sides now.

Wrong buddy. Rush as been respectful and nuetral in the Cruz-Trump dust up.

Watch what happens next week after 20,000,000 Rush listeners get the real story.

Trump is all talk. As a Cruz backer, I would welcome him filing suit against Cruz. Go ahead, big mouth, make my day!

We recognize your Alinsky techniques. They won’t work anymore.
Most of the people you attack also support CRUZ but your entire attack mode plays right into the hands of the GOPee and democrats who wish to divide us so their BUSH type candidate can move up. Either you are part of their group or very naive

No one has standing to sue over any aspect of “running for President”, since no such activity is recognized by the US Constitution.

If a person who receives >270 electoral votes is ineligible to the office (for example, by lacking NBC status), rival candidates who also received electoral votes (but not ones who didn’t) could, in theory, have standing to sue.

I have faith in the conservative Christians in Iowa not to buy into the leftist from New York and will vote for the true conservative, Cruz.

I don't disagree with you. The undocumented are Rubio's blind spot. But he's honest about it. And it doesn't run counter to the environment he was brought up in. I understand there might be a problem in that his campaign for US Senate involved promises about stopping the invasion of the US.

But you know what? I think Rubio really wants to get the situation under control. I suspect that his knowledge of foreign affairs and his desire to keep the US safe could bring him around to a better place on this issue.

I get the feeling that Rubio is a better fit for Trump, someone who could be mentored and made to appreciate what the US and the promise it held for us growing up then was like. Cruz is not likely...obscuring those loans even if not technically dishonest shows that he is not an honest broker of his narrative. So why not look at Rubio? And no, I DO NOT accept Rubio's current position on the invasion of the US.
