And we have posters here on FR doing their part - not caring where they post from to try and get some mud to stick to Trump (Salon? Puh-leeze) - instead of promoting their preferred candidate. It’s even more pathetic than last time around. Me, I prefer Trump but would be fine with Cruz as well. Rubio, well if it came down to Rubio versus Hillary, I know what I would do - vote for Rubio - I am not going to be like the trolls here who say they would actually vote for Hillary over the pubbie, as flawed as he may be - because anyone who has been here for any length of time knows just how bad a Hillary presidency would be.

I will not vote for Rubio or for any other Democrat/GOPe. Voting for any of them over any other of them would make no difference politically and is only a choice of personality. Electing Cruz might delay the final destruction of the vestige of the Republic still extant and would be worth the effort for a couple more years of what remains of liberty. Trump is the only one who could turn it all around. I would vote for him on that basis though he more and more sounds as though he will not take the necessary measures. I believe it may well turn out to be a Trump/Sanders election and that appears more and more like a Mussolini/Stalin election.

100% agree. Though I say that with the comfort that Rubio's chances are very slim. I could actually enthusiastically support Cruz should he win the nomination fair and square, despite the awful and nasty tactics that some of his supporters have been pulling here.

No way would I vote for Shrillary over anybody the GOP puts up - and I count sitting at home as a vote for Shrillary. People who feel that way should probably question why they even participate in this forum.

You can see this plan in action over the last few days via the Rubio surrogates.

I expect the candidates to sling mud, but the hysterics from the Rubio supporters has gone beyond anything I have ever seen before. The Cruz people have been remarkably calm, almost sanguine. They are out there zealously advocating for their candidate, except Glen Beck, but he’s nuts anyway.

Just an observation from over the weekend.

There are only two proven anti-establish guys in this Primary, Trump & Cruz.

I'm Cruz/Trump.

There will be hell to pay should the GOPe and RNC do not support the people's candidate.

We've always been told, no 3rd Party, we must retake the Republican Party.

We are, and they are in shear panic.

While I supported Cruz originally, he lost me with the sleazy tricks, excessive religiosity, and arrogant posturing. Rubio’s behavior this weekend? Not exactly what is expected of a presidential candidate.

The antics of the GOPe have pushed me solidly toward Trump. He has some rough edges, but his platform is well-thought out, and he has executive skills. I don’t see much executive talent in these first term senators, who are lawyers.

At this point, it will be very hard for me to vote for Cruz or Rubio. I could vote in the general for Kasich or Carson, because they aren’t acting like idiots.
