I don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprised at all.

AFTER the damage was done? Gimme a break.

WHAT damage?!?!!? The voting was done, the counting was done, and the next state is a week away. Not one single vote was affected. Good gravy, you people work hard at stirring empty pots.

know almost no one believes me but Cruz is the stealth establishment candidate. All of his big money is very establishment and much of it the antithesis of what he supposedly stands for.

His donors are open borders, American Union, New World Order and/or gay. He and they know he is not remotely eligible to serve as President but will do their best to elect him, thus legitimizing Obama.

His platforms are whatever is selling best, he lies about himself and other candidates, he has hired some of the sleaziest people imaginable.

No, I do not like him at all but I never have. I look at him and see a Cuban/Canadian Obama.


Eh I have seen several on FR paint him this way...pretty closes to way I would. He is a born-again Christian, but frankly the only one acting like a born-again CHristian is Carson.

I was not opposed to him as second, but now I am really at a loss—I don’t like Cruz or Rubio. Carson not strong showing now...So that leaves Trump.

The one thing I despise about politician apologies is that they always come after the effects of the dirty deed are irreversible.

Politicians return dirty money from disreputable donors after they win elections and the money is no longer needed.

Politicians apologize for dirty tricks after the voting is over.

I presume that Cruz was closely watching the news, the precinct reports, the rumors, the turnout, and the returns. He must have known that his people were spreading this story all day, but Cruz was apparently willing to let it fly anyway.

I do believe Trump will do what he says he will. His whole background suggests that. It may be that Carson will get a bump in the polls over this, perhaps he and Trump can join forces, I don’t know. I will vote Trump in our caucus although I’m certain ours are as badly rigged and corrupt as Iowa. If Trump isn’t the nominee, I haven’t decided what I will do yet. I will not vote for Cruz or Rubio.

When our people attempt to act like democrat filth we have the right to be outraged.

Did Cruz do immigration law? Constitutional law is a whole different bird.

He is the most brilliant lawyer who ever lived and he knew he was born in Canada. That fact would motivate anyone to be sure they understood the conditions of their birth.

And, since he is supposedly a constitutional law specialist, the conditions of citizenship are discussed in the constitution and in much case law. You really sound silly trying to pretend Cruz had no reason to be curious about his Canadian birth until in his 40s.

The conditions of birth and citizenship are more related to constitutional law than immigration law.

I don’t know how Trump made his money. I know it was reported that there was a time when he wanted to use eminent domain for a parking lot or something. I don’t know what Cruz’s campaign ad claimed; I haven’t seen it. I think Trump has been pretty open about his using the political process for his business conquests, which is part of what’s wrong in DC. Given the background there are reasonable questions about whether Trump would really be willing to undo some of the corruption in DC.

I don’t know who I’ll vote for. I just want it to be over. I’m tired of people being ugly. I want my country back.

I do like Cruz a lot and I donated 4 times to him, but I do not think he will win the nomination.
I sure hope Rubio doesn’t sneak in and get it, if so I sit out 2016.

This whole thing is about raising up Rubio, which is how the GOPe is GUARANTEEING that it will be a brokered convention.

And we’re falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

Oh well. Easy come, easy go. We get the governmnet we deserve.

Time to prepare for an EMP attack in November or December. Obama said he’d be POTUS 8-10 years, and like everything the political overlords order, it will come to pass because those who could resist it won’t.
