Who said this? “we must first secure the border then we can have a discussion about what to do with the illegals who are here”. Cruz has said this about 1000 times instead of just saying he would get rid of the illegals like Trump does. How non amnesty does that sound?

New Hampshire is a crappy state who picks sure loser candidates. See McCain and Romney. We should look into swapping some of those northeastern states with Canada in exchange for some of their western provinces.

What planet are you on? The GOP establishment DESPISES Cruz. And the GOP establishment is NOT conservative and never has been. Ignorance as yuuuge as yours should be stricken from this site.

Tell Donald it’s called campaigning. He’s one heck of a poor businessman for not figuring out how to hire someone who knows how to do it.

Cruz’ father is not a marxist. He fled Cuba.

“Obsession with health care?” Being obsessed with repealing Obamacare is what we WANT.

Makes sense to me. First things first. Let’s not get hung up on Step 2,3,4,5,etc, before Step 1 is completed. A candidate can only have so many messages at a time, or focus is lost. Reagan stuck to a few simple messages, and won two landslides.

Somebody is always the most conservative candidate in the race.

That doesn't mean they have Reagan's skills or ability.

Sometimes the differences are as important as the similarities -- or the new guy is a pale copy of the old one.

Democrats could say that Bernie is the closest they've come to FDR or Barack to LBJ.

That doesn't mean the Bernie or Barack has the skills of the earlier politicians -- or indeed, that any of them was very good for the country.

I dearly loved Ronald Reagan and voted for him twice. Trust me Cruz ain’t no Reagan.

If Reagan was running now, there would be more than enough negatives in his record for present day Trumbies to trash him. It’s easy to love Reagan now. There wasn’t all the BS on social media trashing him back then on a daily basis.
If Trump was Jim Smith, everyone here would dismiss him b/c of all his bizarre contributions to leftist candidates. But **The Donald** is larger than life in the minds of his followers, so all is forgiven.

I have said that if Reagan was running this year the so called conservatives on FR would be calling him a RINO.

Not I. Cruz’ record is as solid as Reagan’s was when he was running, but Trumbies seek to destroy him. I’ve never seen anything so sickening. As I’ve said, the support for Trump by many (even here) is more like a cult than a political movement.

Look people are desperate to elect a can do natural born problem solver. Name one problem Ted Cruz has ever solved? Trump can name hundreds. That’s the difference.

Its very true that politicians are all talk and no action. That’s why it resonates so well with the public. Its true.

You might want to go back and reread my original comment to you #176, you apparently got it backwards.

He won his case before SCOTUS 5-4 to protect gun rights as individual rights. I think that every conservative who does not support Cruz has fallen under the spell of a transparent charlatan.

No what has happened is that the tribe has spoken. Time for Ted to turn in his spear. :-)
