Cruz won his Senate seat with a true grassroots effort, defeating the well-funded David Dewhurst. And he does what he said he would do-fight for conservative principles against dems and GOPe.

Now Cruz is defending running 1999 clip of Trump as being not defamatory, because it is the person;s own words, therefore it is the truth.

He goes on to Trump's defense of planned parenthood, and gets applause from the audience.

Cruz is spending lots of time litigating this case, compared with Rubio who wanted to get to the issues.

Cruz is now claiming Trump would advocate a liberal for SCOTUS, see his (Trump's) support of his sister.

Good point. Cruz has never led a business into bankruptcy before. Trump has much more experience.

Your sarcasm is noted, thanks.

But Cruz, unlike Trump, has done nothing except run for public office.

Cruz, unlike Trump, has never worked in the private sector, never mind create one job. Cruz has never, unlike Trump, dealt with the real life experiences of a balance sheet, health insurance costs, and the true ramifications of federal regulations and business taxes on job creation.

Cruz, unlike Trump, has never worked and succeeded in the global economy.

And, Cruz, unlike Trump, does not seem to possess the skill set to successfully negotiate anything---but most especially his history, unlike Trump's, suggests his only success is alienating the people he's trying to negotiate with.

So, I am asking you, honestly, to explain I should consider Ted Cruz for the most demanding job in America.

Thanks.

Did he blame them for 911 ? Did he say their policies have not kept us safe? Did he say they lied us into war? Did he call them liars? Didn’t think so... He saves his viciousness for those on the same team, what does that tell you?

I’ve been here for several years. I got Christmas Cards from “W” every year he was in office. I really respected President Bush but he was in office when we were attacked. It was his job to keep us safe and he failed. He never defended his decisions so I’m certainly not doing it for him now. Trump is way ahead of you. He’s looking ahead to the big election and his moves. He’ll take the states Democrats think they have locked. I like his WIN game plan.

Cruz is handling the Apple Iphone question with common sense.

Unlock them one at a time as warranted. Do not give this to the fed.

I hope he keeps it up.

If he was as politically smart as he thinks he is, he'd laugh, flip Trump off with a "Bring it on, Donald," and move on to his agenda.

But I want him to keep doing what he's doing because I want him to lose.

The only question I have for Rubio is, if he’s so damn smart, why ain’t he rich?

LOL...a little off topic but that is a question I have wondered about for a very long time about stockbrokers.

They have not done it well. The drug lobbyist do everything in their power to be on the state and federal formulas. Trump is going to stop that.

Just like the VA. No one can defend that the VA has the worst business model ever. And Trump will correct that.

Yes he did. Also Sarah Palin came down and campaigned for him.
