I hope by next week you Cruzbots will be sitting in a corner licking your wounds so that you will shut the he** up with your constant bashing. I don’t hate Cruz like you people hate Trump - and I suppose it’s only because you fear Trump is going to win. And, he probably will. And, furthermore, it’s almost blasphemy to be saying Praise to His Name - read the 10 Commandments.

More projection by a TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) supporter.

We don't hate TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!).

We do see him as he is, a Liberal pretending to be a conservative.

And therefore, unacceptable for a vote.

Just trying to help a FReeper out.

No, an informed “conservative base” would not vote for a known proven liberal. Those are NOT conservatives.

Le’t put this analogy back at you, shall we? Your constant bashing of Trump tells me you are one of Hollywood’s own, or how about one of the DEMONcrats own, or the GOPE’s own, or the MSM’s own. You fit right in with their bashing and trashing, so by your own measure - we Trump supporters reognize that you are one of their own.

I trust Trump to do the right thing. I think Cruz would do things to ensure reelection and not what is right.

You poor lost soul!

If you truly believe that, after evaluating everything that Cruz and TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) have done, there is not much hope for you.

He will never govern against the interests of his business.

You raise a valid point, however, the same can be said about Cruz and Goldman Sachs.

Like Trump got tens of millions from George Soros to build his Chicago building?

The quid pro quo was equity in a building, not for influence over policy decisions.

You know what? He doesn’t need your one measly vote. I guess you enjoy blasphemy - I’m not so sure that God likes it very much though. Trump is more conservative on some issues that Cruz. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Or if you prefer, worship at the altar of St. Teddy Bear, Soccer Ball, Canadian-born, Cruz.

By great people really great people. I know great people. I can’t say exactly the plans because that would give it away but I have really big plans, great ones.

Verbally challenged he is.

Weeeeeee... another FReeper vs FReeper full blown flame thread. Make sure everyone uses lots of witty insults against each other and make childish attacks the Republican front runners. Dont get carried away and say something about bernie or hillary... we dont do that anymore on FR. We insult Republican front runner more that DU, Salon and Huffpost combined.

I really like the way Trump repeats himself three or four times in the same sentence. Keeps him from attempting to say anything of substance. That habit, by the way, is consistent with someone who is developing Alzheimer's. His old man had it too, didn't he???

I'm a Cruz supporter, but I believe Trump repeating certain key words is part of a purposeful technique. Scott Adams' "Master Persuader" thesis (minus the moist robot nonsense) might have more to it than you might think. Basically, these techniques are used by hypnotists. Trump's old man had Alzheimer's when he was MUCH older.

There is a larger issue with Trump and his business. His valuation is based on Trump's involvement. Once he turns the business over to junior and erects a wall between himself and Trump Enterprises, that valuation will drop.

I don't for a minute believe he will be able to maintain that separation.

Oh this should be really good.

“Trump is more conservative on some issues that Cruz.”

Name one

How funny. You are in a minority around here and you think I am a poor soul. You Cruzies have a very very small support system here. Most of us are brilliant and support Trump. I trust Free Republic population more then the small percentage of delusional Cruz people.

Bump your post...FR is like kindergarten in the “silly season” thanks to a handful of posters.

I didn't watch the Debate primarily because I won't watch the very rude, arrogant and self-centered Megyn Kelly.

I have since seen her very rude questioning of Senator Cruz and also her interview of him post-debate, wherein she was forced to admit, (by CRUZ) that she was wrong and he was right, but the damage was done during the Debate when the viewership was at its peak.

I've also seen clips of his jokes that some say went over like lead balloons, but I chalk those criticisms up to "sour grapes." I laughed and thought both were very clever.

Fox News moderators think they're all Tim Russert's, but they're not. Russert's MTP was a Sunday Show, not a Nationwide Televised Presidential Debate.

NO NEED FOR GOTCHA QUESTIONS!
Particularly with moderators holding detailed notes, candidates restricted by time restraints.

Because the front runner is not conservative and dare I say he isn’t Republican either.

I have seen articles on that about which you speak. You may be correct.
