Cruz needs to get it together. Rubio is a snake, cannot be trusted.
It doesn’t matter if you are for Cruz or Trump. He’s right, especially wrt evangelicals.
Evangelical republicans have, effectively, been the counterpart to the African American wing of the dem party. We’ve been on the republican plantation for too long. They have stacked the deck, and told us to sit down and shut up, one too many times. Their attitude has been for too many years “where are they going to go?”
The GOPe hasn’t been helpful, at all, in the culture wars. Many religious people feel the social values war has been lost. Why should we continue to help those who have sold us out?
FINALLY, they are reaping what they have sown!
What were you doing browsing the "male escort wanted" nude advertisements for? Had a little tiff with your GOP-e lover? /ba-dum t'sssh>
But Ted is never going to make it to the finish line.
He simply can’t win.
BTTT!
You are, both, SO right!
I’m not sure but I think Cruz is. I think Rubio is just the “chosen one”.
It’s odd because they are both junior senators who haven’t been in DC very long. I hate to think they are already this much into the “system”.
It would be interesting to learn more about why billionaires are against some of the core values of this country ( and its major faith traditions). Just curious. You’d think that maybe billionaires would be more conservative or at least wouldn’t care to put up their money pushing such non- fiscal issue positions down everyone else’s throats. ( amnesty aside, if they hire s lot of illegal aliens)
Robert Mercer is a donor to Cruz. He also donates to other great conservative causes. Sounds like he’s truly on our side.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mercer_%28businessman%29
He has also supported Doctors for Disaster Preparedness and Fred Kelly Grant, an Idaho activist who encourages legal challenges to environmental laws.[3] Mercer has supported a campaign for the death penalty in Nebraska and funded ads in New York critical of the so-called “ground-zero mosque”.[3]
Mercer has acquired one of the country’s largest collections of machine guns and historical firearms, including a weapon Arnold Schwarzenegger wielded in The Terminator.[3]
Rubio is the GOPe #2 “go to” guy, after Bush. If he loses FL in the SEC primary, then the GOPe goes nuclear.
I think going to most colleges and universities, you get hit with a huge anti-Christian bias. Most wealthy people have probably gone to the most prominent colleges which are more liberal than average. The first conservative positions you lose when you lose your religious convictions are pro-life and pro-marriage.
The amnesty push is probably just for the cheap labor.
And Cruz takes their money which is why he can’t and won’t effect any real change if elected.
That’s what I’m worried about.
Regarding your tag line, he was asked in, I believe, a CBS interview “What about the children? You can’t tear apart families!” His response was, paraphrasing, we won’t tear apart families! We’ll send them all back!
I thought they were already “nuclear”. Can’t imagine what they will try to pull next.
I wish that this was all that they’ve got! They won’t go down easy, and might be willing to give the election to Hillary! to keep their power and lifestyles.
This is ALL about the money.
Hedge-Fund Magnate Robert Mercer Emerges as a Generous Backer of Cruz
Mr. Cruz’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment about Mr. Mercer’s support for his candidacy or his hedge fund’s $6 billion tax issue.
But the candidate, like his new Wall Street backer, has his own concerns about the I.R.S., which might have gotten Mr. Mercer’s attention. Last month, he called for the agency to be abolished altogether.
>> Does Ted realize that the GOPe hates him almost as much as they do Trump?
No doubt he realizes the contempt. But he’s likely getting some degree of support in order to defeat Trump.
Yes. There’s an incredibly strong anti-moral bias on many college campuses (campii??). I don’t mean questioning , that’s appropriate for colleges. I mean a visceral anti- American/Christian/jewish/ethics/morality/Liberty hatred I never thought there were so many such haters anywhere ( outside islam) and it makes no sense at all for college professors to hold such antisocial attitudes ( like, it’s not like they’re suffering). Weird
Trump has had a lot of positions on immigration over the years. Remember when Kerry was blowing in the wind over being for it before he was against it?
He has a point....there used to be a class of small donors to the GOPe, including myself, but no more. Funny how being stabbed in the back, outright lied to and having elections fixed turns off the base voters. Go figure.
Abolishing the IRS is something that always gets a lot of cheers from Republican and conservative audiences.
Half the country is conservative, roughly. Those millions of people include some wealthy donors who will donate to fund conservative causes. Cruz is pointing out what most of the donors are pushing. If a donor is still donating to Cruz after this, then he truly must be on board with Cruz’ conservative plans.
