That would be like converting an ex-Mormon back to Mormonism. Once the scales fall from your eyes, there’s no looking back. :-)

Someone needs to tell Rubio to talk s-l-o-w-e-r.

Cruz was wooden and seemed rehearsed to a fault. And when he he get so...pudgy?

More like grabbing a BACKSLIDER by the arm, and saying to him, “Brother, the trail is over here!”

Cruz is brilliant, but in a very lawyerly way. While that makes him an exceptional adversary in formal settings (collegiate debate, courtrooms) his major problem is that politics is not a formal forum where "knowing the rulebook" is key to victory. As a result he appears stiff and anything but at ease in dealing with crowds.

It's one of the reasons why many have hoped for a Trump/Cruz ticket. Spending 8 years as Trump's "apprentice" would do wonders for his personality and ability to relate to people, thereby improving his ability to advance his vision effectively.

Can they kiss and make up after the last month of acrimony? Perhaps, but the odds of that happening seem a lot smaller than last year.

The narrow road leads to Cruz. (Look it up in Spanish)

The wide road leads to Trump.

The last Trump shall sound, and we’ll all be gathered in.

I didn’t see it but heard from a caller on Rush. I’ve been away from radio. How very convenient for her. Despicable

You are so right unless the veil has been torn and we can see their shenanigans. Asking youtube stars is what Obama does. I guess that’s who they emulate at Fox now.

But Donald is the First Trump.

When the First angel blew his Trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood and thrown on the earth. One-third of the earth was burned up, one-third of the trees was burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. Rev 8:7

I say we take the narrow road to the Cross.

The First Trump is not a pretty sight.

Speaking of that, did you ever look at that one link I sent you, or did you not get it?

Freepmail is probably best.

Yeah, I got it. Didn’t Trump own the Empire State Building about the same time that guy had that dream?

It was either 1952 or 1955. I think King Kong owned it.

Or Godzilla.

Can’t remember which.
