Do you both want to keep going like we have been?

This is doing nothing but damaging Cruz and Trump.

Meanwhile Rubio’s numbers are growing.

Folks we have to stop this.

May destroy the country in the process but what the hay we can cheer at the downfall.
I can never understand. You guys seem like Charlie Brown to me. How many times can the next shining star pull away the football before you give up on the political class?

Okay. I’m not on commission, so how does that affect me?

Cruz did not win a single county or delegate in SC tonight.

Cruz like Santorum last cycle had an Iowa only strategy. Both put all their eggs into the Iowa basket thinking a win there would provide big momentum for winning S.C. I just does not work that way. Cruz has also hurt himself by running a nasty untruthful negative campaign. He should fire his campaign manager.

I have a real problem believing those. The political class wants Trump out and Hillary in; they are trying to guide our steps. When I see those rally crowds, and I have watched at least 1/2 the rallies in their entirety, I look at those polls and I say “ Who am I to believe your polls or my lying eyes?”

The media, the GOP, the Democrats and the lobbyists are one organism. They are fighting to exist and they will play dirty. We have not managed to get a real conservative through their gauntlet for many election cycles. Frankly I don’t believe anything they say.

I think we must. cruz will not go silently into the night, but he will lose. And 2ndDiv will not relent on his spamming.

"Trump did win there. Convincingly."

I'm not convinced yet. 32.5% for Trump, 22.5 Rubio, and 22.3 Cruz? You have to remember that this primary was an open primary, and I'm quite sure that an unknown chunk of that 32.5% was crossover Dems. And I'm pretty sure that the crossover Dem vote for Rubio and Cruz is negligible (Both of those are reputed to be Conservatives.)

He's humble enough. . . .

This may be the first time Trump has ever been called "humble." What a joke.

Saw that Jim locked one repeat thread down.

I think this has gone on long enough, and something will have to be done about it.

There has to be some reason here.

Thanks for your comments. Take care.

Hahaha! People like me just fine. I’ve received hundreds of posts and FReepmails over the years praising my threads and thanking me for my “work” here. Just because you two are negative about my posts doesn’t mean that’s a view that is widely held.

You do have a great point, the polls are not always correct.

We can't continue to bicker here, or we're going to give this whole thing to Rubio. I hope that the Cruz folks will grasp that too.

I would take Rubio by a mile over Trump.

Ha, I think you meant the dogs like you just fine. But that is only because your mom tied a pork chop around your neck.

You’re absolutely right: A conservative not voting is a VOTE FOR Hitlery.

Why don’t these people get it?

3 Million republicans didn’t vote AGAINST Obama in 2008 and 2012, and I see them at fault for us having to suffer for 8 years under the Obama Regime.

See, there is your problem. You are too invested, which is not good for anyone. Praising your threads, lol. Take a break and get some perspective!
