Nah, we need Cruz to hang in there and keep Rubio low.
Donald Trump is no more liberal that Ronald Reagan.
People hold up Ronald Reagan as the ultimate conservative.
There is no such thing. Everyone makes compromises.
Ronald Reagan/s liberal actions:
In 1950 Reagan helped raise money
for democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas
against Richard Nixon for California senator.
In 1966, Reagan put together a campaign group
to run for California governor. They were
Phil Battaglia, Casper Weinberger and Jack Warner.
They were all from the liberal Rockefeller wing of
the Republican party, not the conservative Goldwater wing.
Reagan Gets Bill Easing Abortion In California - Jun 14, 1967
June 14, 1967 The California Assembly passed and sent to Governor Reagan a bill easing the state/s abortion law, unchanged in 95 years.
Reagan said the bill was /by no means perfect/ and would have to be watched closely to prevent California from becoming an abortion haven.
But he said he would sign it despite his doubts about some possible /loopholes./ /I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California,/ the freshman governor said....
The bill...would permit abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy if:
-The prospective mother/s physical or mental health is in danger.
-The pregnancy resulted from incest or forcible rape, or statutory rape in the case of a girl 14 years old or younger.
The old law permits abortions only if the life of the prospective mother is endangered.

1970 Governor Reagan, who once said /taxes should hurt/,
disclosed he paid no state income taxes in 1970 on his
$44,000 governor/s salary and personal assets of around $1-million.
The average worker made around $5,000 per year back then.
1970 as governor, Reagan appointed Donald Wright as the
Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court. Wright/s
court later found the death penalty unconstitutional in California.
1972 Reagan supported the re-election of President Richard Nixon instead of giving support to conservative Republican candidate John Ashbrook, who ran an effort to dump Nixon.
As California Governor, Reagan used his own office funds to keep the Office of Economic Opportunity alive in the state and he tried to make California the first state to create its own consumer affairs dept.
1976 in his presidential run against Gerald Ford, Reagan chose the most liberal Republican Senator in the senate, Richard Schweiker as his vice presidential running mate. In 1980, he chose another liberal running mate
George HW Bush.
1985 Reagan, as president, spent $5-billion to bail out the Continental Bank of Illinois. He also added
$9-billion to the International Monetary Fund so Mexico, Brazil and Argentina could pay the interest on
their big debts to the American banks. At the same time, he would not bail out American farmers.
Reagan/s 4th year budget was $141-billion more than Carter/s 4th year budget. Reagan/s total deficits for 4 years was 4-times the total of Carter 4-year total deficits.
Reagan increased the national debt in 4-years as much as all the presidents from Hoover to Carter did.
Reagan Supported the Brady Gun Bill in a speech at George Washington University in 1991.
In 1992 Reagan supported NAFTA (North American Free Trade Act) As a candidate in 1979 Reagan first talked about a North American accord. In 1992 Reagan made a plea in a Wall Street Journal editorial to, /tear down the trade wall/.
Cruz is the most deceptive of them all.
He is used to work for Bush-43.
I’ll vote for Trump if he is the candidate, as well. The only Rep I would NOT vote for if he is the candidate would be Yeb!, in which case I would just write in someone’s name.
Mine too, but it requires millions of millions of dunces to succeed.
At any rate, Hillary is one smiling happy harpy right now.
The only person in America with higher negatives than her is winning the GOP primaries.
Well put on a pair of moonbat glasses and look at Donald. Doesn’t he look a lot like an iconoclast from that end, not just our end? Not every icon gets the “clast” treatment, in fact some icons seem to get magnified, but it looks like the classic case of a compromise between people. Nobody gets everything he wants. But he appears more and more credible that he intends to deliver.
After tonight....you won’t have to worry about voting for Yeb because apparently NO ONE else has :(
Oh please, this blasphemes the Virgin Cowboy :-)
Will American Thinker continue to publish your pieces when you no longer live in America?
what a good little toadie you are. What a suck up.
I have seen this phenomenon before; Jesse Ventura 1998 Minnesota.
Jesse sounded conservative and like he had common sense when he ran and on his radio show and beat out 2 well established political names by appealing to those turned off by politics and sick of politicians (which is 40% of the population.)
You know who they fear the most? Rubio.
**********************
Funny, that’s who I fear most, too. He wants to give the Democrats a permanent majority.
Like a lot of smart Americans, we started looking when Obama won in 2008. When 2010 reversed that, we stopped. Then when Obama won in 2012, we started looking around again....because America wasn’t America anymore.
We are actually much truer to the ideals of America than you are.
In a way I wish they wouldn’t, though the GOP is likely far more honest at vote counting than our screaming liberal set.
I thought it was just me.
Jesse was an egotist about his “mind.”
So far, Trump hasn’t expressed that kind of sentiment.
Your hate Reagan Leftist spam is getting old.
Go to Mediate or Huffpo where you will be appreciated.
Conventional wisdom is out the window this time around.
I just hope Cruz at least places instead of Rubio, but not looking good at this point.
At least take some consolation that Yeb is in the toaster
who said I wasn’t living in America.....I said I was hedging my bets and had some interests over seas. I”m not renouncing citizenship or even getting second citizenship. This is something started in earnest after Obama’s re election.
Read a little better.
But yes, they will....in fact, my last two pieces were written in Central America. I’m back in US now. These things are called airplanes and the internet. You should check them out and expand your horizons.
