There is a much larger segment of the voting population that explains trump: Patriots. Many conservatives are supporting Trump because they see him as a lifeline from outside the system.
i will stand with Cruz.
I will tolerate Trump.
I will not comply with Clinton.
I will fight for america against sanders.
You should be happy, because sane Conservatives are not letting this opportunity pass.
My condolences to Cruz none the less.
Will vote for Cruz in the General Election. Voting tomorrow for DJT for perhaps the only time I will have the opportunity. And that’s an opportunity this Constitutional conservative doesn’t want to miss.
You’re not factoring in that Cruz is damaged goods because of the “take it to the limits (and then some)” campaign initiatives in Iowa and South Carolina. Democrats would connect him to Tricky Dick, not letting him be framed as the next Reagan. The icing on the cake would be some of the crazier quotes from Glenn Beck.
Here, here. As Cruz was being castigated by his own party during the budget standoff, some here on FR who now want Trump were cheering him on, lauding his conservative bonafides, and calling him the anti-establishment savior. These same Freepers got the purpose of his poison pill that help defeat the Grahmnesty bill, and now use it dishonestly to paint him as pro-amnesty.
If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead and we the people are screwed. That is why we the people are getting behind Trump. It got zero to do with right/left. It's survival.
I guess is Phyllis Schlafly is not a conservative either. Trump is 'last hope for America'. Some people can see the forest thru the trees others can't.
True, dat.
I think we’re finding out that there’s not as many true conservatives as people thought. And
Of course a true conservative will be deemed “unelectable” by the MSM
Of course a true conservative will be hated by the Washington establishment GOP-like Dole, McCain, McConnell etc (I note that many of the House Freedom Caucus have endorsed Cruz)
Spare me the “nasty” “liar” rebuttals. The last supposed Cruz “lie”-false Gowdy Facebook-has been debunked
We’ve seen what happens when ideology and blind ambition are valued more than experience. Besides, he can’t even convince his brother that Rubio isn’t a “full-throated conservative”.
Ted Cruz joins the establishment
He was sent to Washington to fight Obama, not to advocate for more power.
Let’s take a look at South Caroline voter demographic tabulations after their primary and extrapolate who would be most ‘electable’ on the national plain.
What happens to Cruz if he places 3rd or even 4th tomorrow?
Appears his lower lip stuck to his upper arcades.
Exactly!
David Limbaugh is ‘still fighting the last war’.
Like so many in the media, David is so invested in the ideological and political paradigms of the past, he can’t wrap his head around the cultural movement happening right before his eyes.
In this election, it’s less about R vs D, or conservative versus liberal - it’s about cleaning out the cess pool in Washington and doing what the American people want, for a change. We want the border secured, the illegals sent packing, the terrorists on the run, the taxes slashed, the jobs to come home, fedzilla reined in, Obamacare repealed, our military strengthened, political correctness crushed, and our domestic enemies defeated.
We want a sure, steady, and seasoned hand at the wheel over the next four to eight years. Someone who has demonstrated the ability to manage a large and complex operation like our government, in the real world. That person also must have his eye firmly fixed on correcting what’s actually ailing this country, not playing to his political base for brownie points.
In short, this country is in a state of near rebellion, and requires an extraordinary individual to guide us through the contentious processes of reclaiming our nation. That individual must have a rare sort of courage, and the kind of personality that naturally leads. A ‘take charge’ type of person who wins because he makes more right decisions than wrong decisions. Someone who will make a tough choice when he sees that it will benefit his people, but maybe not his party, or the elite classes.
David, this is why Trump is dominating the race, and is leaving the rest of the field so far behind. Wake up, man. Smell the revolution.
Cruz would be electable, but Trump would be a landslide...
Are these people not seeing the STADIUMS of people coming out to see him?
Then you would have a large number of GOP elected on his coattails.
Trump/Cruz would have been even better (I like both of them) for 16 years
He came back on my radar when he ran for the Senate.
Cruz talked about common sense solutions to the problems that mattered to me and after doing further research.....I cautiously gave him my vote, truly expecting him to turn into another Cornyn as soon as he got to Washington.
I've watched him day in....and day out, almost "impatiently waiting" for him to go "turncoat" over the things he promised in Texas.....and he never did.
I don't care how many of you "hate" him and I don't care if his fellow Senators, the media or the GOPe hate him. He will get my vote again this primary because he's EARNED IT by doing exactly what he promised me he would do.
So here's hoping you have as much faith in your candidate's promises as I do mine.......and may America chose wisely this year.
There will be time for Cruz after he is better seasoned and after Trump has saved the Republic. The other way around wouldn’t work and wouldn’t end well.
