Based on what exactly but you trust a registered Democrat who contributed to Democrats helping them takeover Congress to ram through Obamacare, spent years courting Hillary Clinton, and brags openly about his wonderful relationship with Pelosi/Reid/Schumer.
Obama will pick Scalia's replacement... and the Senate will approve that person no matter how bad they may be (and you now what sort of person he's going to nominate).
Yeah, he was a big buddy of John Roberts. No thanks.
Good points!
Appoint Ted to the court. Cut a deal Trump!
Amen. You are SO VERY right. We have to get united behind Senator Cruz. We can’t afford to take a chance on the others.
Take your twisted mind and have fun with someone else.
The choices aren’t limited to Ted Cruz or Bill or Hillary Clinton?
Excellent point about Trump. He becomes whatever u need him to become. That is his schtik. He tells whomever he is speaking to what they want to hear. I cant believe so many Freepers are falling for it!!! It was fun at first, but come on!!
Don’t you understand? By Trump’s own admission he would appoint his extremely liberal sis term who is a federal judge. He has spent his life as a liberal. I love that he has had no fear about bringing up a number of issues that we needed to talk about. But he does not have the character we need to lead us. He is too quick to resort to revenge and nasty innuendo. Cruz is the only one I see who will support the constitution in all he does. I believe we do not need a strong man to repair things. We need our constitution to be strengthened.
Rubio’s seat is currently open. Rubio decided early on that if he decided to run for the presidency, he would NOT stand for reelection to the Senate.
Cruz’s seat - probably a temporary appointment by Gov. Abbott, to be followed by an election at the next general election in the fall of 2018.
Truth is I don't trust Trump or Cruz. Why would I?
We've elected enough lifetime lawyer/politicians to show that it doesn't work. Why would Cruz be any different? He doesn't have any legislative record to run on. He's basically won a few cases at the Supreme Court level.
Look, I get it. You still have faith in people like Ted Cruz. I don't. They say what they need to get elected and then screw you once in office.
Who wrote in the National Review on supporting John Roberts? Wouldn't have been Cruz would it?
Ted Cruz belongs behind a pulpit.
I’ve said for months that Cruz would be on the court for LIFE. That’s meaningful.
Trump is last one we want picking justices considering he thinks Maryanne Trump Barry would be phenomenal.
Never. Never. Never. We do not need a sneaky snake as President. He wants the public to think he is pure, but behind the scenes he will lie, steal, take whatever to get what he wants. The worst candidate ever to run for President in history.
They will have a special election.
Rubio already said he will not run for re-election so there is already a primary going on for the Republican and Democrat who will succeed him since he was elected in 2010 and hi 6 year term is up.
As for Cruz, they will either have a special election for his seat, or the governor of Texas will appoint someone to finish off his last tow years.
Tomorrow to argue. Tonight to mourn. :(
I’m sure there will be a vigil here and I will proudly go.
I am not voting for Crez.
Sure makes me proud I stood on principal and refused to vote for Romney because of his religion or Romneycare or whatever it was, and helped get Obama his second term - that’s going to work out just right.....
