Cruz has more than anyone— anyone— successfully defended the Constitution of the United States.
We know that primarily in his multiple roles at the Supreme Court.
We also know that from his successful election to the Senate and his successful filibuster that lead to further conservative election successes because of that shutdown.
Cruz is much more opposed by the Republican establishment than Trump.
Cruz seeks a long term politically active strategy to restore constitutional limits to the Federal Government.
Trump seeks to overcome the abuses of the Federal government through the force of his personality.
I actually think his personality is powerful and significant. I do not think it can change DC in the way that it necessarily must be changed.
I also do not trust trump to in his own words make deals with Republicans and Democrats which hurt the middle class and average americans.
I also do not want to continue down the road started by our current megalomaniac— President Obama. He also rules by cult of personality. Though Trump might help conservatives with his cult of personality— he will establish and maintain the anti-consituttional premise that a hyper strong executive is necessary to undue political damage.
Those of you bashing Cruz unfairly simply so you can accelerate a Trump win, are honestly endangering our Republic.
Its sad to see this personal attacks against Cruz and his family that so resemble the hateful things done to Palin in 2008.
I hope the Trump supporters will re-consider.
Cruz is my choice and I strongly support his candidacy.
RE:”The Bible says the Antichrist will be impressive also.”
HAHA
I’m sorry. Nice rant.
I want America great again.
Just not going with someone who sounds, acts, and conducts himself as a Washington insider. Which he is.
Agreed. I like Trump, but I think the DNC/GOPe uniparty's long game is consolidation of power and a Trump presidency will play into that hand.
And you and I can bet that after the first barrage from the crime family that Trump will have the crushing blow for the queen and her womanizer husband. Trump will already have the ammo are you can be sure it will bury Hillary.
Trump is Toast....Ted Cruz 2016!
Are you seriously suggesting that Donald Trump is the AntiChrist?
Kooky weird sh*t like that has caused the Republican party to get it's ass kicked for 25 years.
The weirdo church crowd combined with the GOP elite has CAUSED Donald Trump.
I’ve found this to be true in my own life & you probably have, too. Ya get in a groove & as long as nothing bogs you down or stalls things, it’s pretty easy to stay super productive. Then other times, a rut can happen & it takes discipline & strength to dig out. I think Trump just has an exceptional amount of discipline & strength. I wish he could bottle it & sell it. I’d buy some!
(I probably oversimplified it)
I could care less if we pay IA farmers to grow pistachios and pineapples as long as we close the border and stop the Muslim influx. Then I'll worry about who a "principled conservative" is.
Thanks for the chuckle. I am assuming you were laughing as you wrote it. I don’t know about Cruz himself other than reuniting with his partner Glenn Beck so they can hand out more stuffed animals and soccer balls to illegal invaders as they cross the border... he seems like he is holding it together despite some major setbacks. Unfortunately, if his groupies on this forum appear to be going through the various stages of grief and it is a little embarrassing. Most of them are still stuck in Shock/Denial through Anger/Bargaining... if you buy into that type of thing.
In the case of corn subsidies the special interest is the Iowa voter, which Trump needs instead of money donors. The rest of the field needs both.
And if Cruz is NOT the nominee?
I think I would vote for any RNC nominee including Trump.
But I definitely want the Trump supporters to know this is not infinite.
I do think if things continue going along the lines of Cruz is worse than Hillary then, no.
This boundless reactionary personality that seems to lose focus anytime a democrat or moderate republican comes into focus is getting increasingly suspicious to me.
Trump’s primary skill thus far seems to be in taking down conservatives running for President. Its not terribly impressive to me.
You might be in a minority ...
I'm with you ... either one works for me.
... a partial truth that functions the same as a lie.
Amusingly ironic in relationship to your tagline.
Nicely done, Art.
Ok, I’ll vote for Trump on one condition. The next time I am in Idaho, you have to take me fishing for Lake Trout. ;>)
I have supported Cruz from the start....I still love him, but a couple days ago I converted to Trump. You captured much of what I considered when I decided to back Trump.
We simply MUST win or it’s all over.
“Don’t forget energy...Trump has it like no one else we’ve ever seen.”
That’s because the only thing we have seen for the last 7 years is a CIC on the golf course.
