“So which is it...Cruz by 15 or Cruz by 1. I THINK Cruz has got Texas”

I think Cruz will squeak this one out but he will have to share a lot of the delegates with Trump. I think there is a 20% threshold so Rubio will not get any delegates out of Texas at this rate.

My Mama knew what she was doing when she named me Thomas. I say, if they’re reporting that Trump is within a point of Cruz, he’s probably actually leading Cruz, but they don’t dare admit it.

Nothing you state surprises me. It's logical to wonder about Cruz's US citizenship.

The thing I've been saying since the explanations of his convoluted H1B increase support is that Cruz is so smart that he outsmarts himself. And then I applied College Debate Team guidelines to the arguments Cruzers were giving for things. Honestly, they weren't even very good at it. It's just that Cruz was the Emperor of Debate and the Wisest Man in the Senate until some folks started noticing that "The Emperor has no clothes".

As it stands now, it looks like Cruz feels secure that his eligibility isn't a problem And we find out how involved he was in getting Roberts to the SC. And how involved he was in the GWB FL vote count. Yikes!

The thing is, Cruz might still think he's smarter than everyone else. The puppetmasters aren't dumb. It could happen before the nomination if there's a way to stop Trump. The elite could choose judges well and eliminate Cruz and Rubio as ineligible, and then insert their most skilled designated loser. If they don't hillary sure would. Is Cruz too arrogant and/or dumb to realize that he'll never see the Presidency?

How did things get this unreal? Could anyone except Trump, and with no less that the extremes he's taken, have stopped another pre-ordained US President.

Scary stuff.

Why do you think he’ll grow more trustworthy and believable after he spends more years with the snakes in DC, learns more devious tricks and gets more financial strings attached.

B>For Cruz to win he/d have to resort to even dirtier tricks than he used in Iowa. Cruz/s incessant overbearing campaign seems to be determined to prove something to himself. Maybe its a Canadian-latino/s lack of self-esteem. Who knows? But the Oval Office is definitely not the place to go find your human potential.

==============================================

An oft-repeated FR rant is from those who say they don/t like Cruz but don/t know why. The reasons for those lingering doubts and why he isn't doing better in SC:

<><> Cruz/s industrial strength narcissistic personality.

<><> his lifelong self-absorption.

<><> putting himself first above others, always acting as
if he were better and smarter than the rest of humanity.

<><> a snob in spades....feeling he is destined for greatness.

<><> Cruz wouldn/t play team sports b/c he/d share the glory with others.

<><> His vaunted debate championship was not in the National Debate Tournament of 2-person teams;

<><> Cruz debated in a Canadian tournament where he received all the credit himself.

<><> his reputation in the Senate....where most of his
Senate colleagues despise him....is well-deserved.

Trump is actually campaigning in Ohio 3/15, and Kentucky 3/5 on super Tuesday. Don’t know where he’ll be for his victory party. Maybe Virginia?

Ted Cruz is a conservative and a man of great character.

The lies and and slander that abound about him are petty and childish.

I am glad to be represented by him and I look forward to having him as President.

Yes all that in your post is true.

Cruz is a fraud , a lying con man

In the following video Senator Jeff Sessions says that Trump will STOP TPP ! TPP is the worst thing ever for America and Cruz was instrumental in getting TPA TPP passed:

This is great video of Sessions endorsing Trump in a rally in Alabama!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ83CvMKYUQ

TPP allows 3rd world countries to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrant workers to take away your job(Trade in “services”). There are almost 4 billion 3rd world people in China and India alone , they’re smarter than you and have tech skills . So vote for Cruz if you want to lose your job

Sweet Home Alabama!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLQrbo_i2Zw

I’m In Louisiana but I love Alabama !

TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership or Obamatrade is the worst thing ever for America).”

I think you're right. Cruz should start working on his resume. He's a hard head in the Senate and has no friends there. The party isn't supporting him.

He was heard telling Heidi...Why in the world did you give up your day job?? talk to me. Talk to me.

And the Senate majority that we hold is in danger. Rubio is not running again and it's over come Jan 3rd.

I feel the same way about Marco,he was a great Florida state Senator and rep,but I have no idea who the heck he is now. I get email every day asking for money and support,I have been slamming back at them,but the last one I told them I was voting for Trump.

This is killing me and other republican women,he was great,and he was lauded,my late republican women's club president even talked him into running for US Senate. Very sad.

If Trump is able to overcome the media lies and become president Trump will save the USA.

Trump if he can pull it off will save America from Cruz, Rubio, Jebb or Hillary all which of those would have had similar results the destruction of the USA. Trump is the only one I trust out of those running or that ran. Truly Trump will do a heroic thing risking his fortune and success to literally save us from falling in the abyss. Trump is a modern day William Wallace of braveheart only 10 billion times better. if he can become president we will all owe him our freedom , and property and lives.

Definitely Obamma had the USA at the tipping point and with TPP etc. they would have destroyed the USA. But at the last second Trump arrives , really the only person in the world that i see that could have done it, and the only person in Washington that is not corrupt or bought off by the globalists and marxists.

Here is how I look at it.
In the corporate world, a good CEO will spend years searching and then grooming his replacement once he/she decides to retire.
Not all quality people make it as CEO.
It requires a different way of thinking.

Back when Andy Grove was CEO of Intel, he began grooming Craig Barrett as his replacement.
Craig had managed multiple fabs and for the most part, did a fantastic job.

When Barrett became CEO, it was very clear that he was a bad pick.
Employee moral plummeted as people were being asked to do really stupid things.

Nearly every decision had to pass thru his office even those fairly trivial.
Joint ventures were made without even consulting design teams which would be effected.

About a year before a major internal revolt, Barrett retired.
It took 5 years to undo the nonsense he implemented.

End result, not everyone is capable of handling the big decisions which come with the big chair.
Same with the President.

>>>Ted Cruz is a conservative and a man of great character.<<<

I 100% agree. I’m very thankful for everything he has done for Texas, and the country. While Trump was getting a star on the Walk of Fame, Cruz was fighting literally the entire world to protect American sovereignty, preserve states’ rights, and to get justice for those brutally raped and murdered by illegals. Some people are simply con artists, while others climb in the trenches and get things done.

But the world has gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, sucked into zombie mode supporting an immoral, big government progressive, enchanted by of all things, a reality tv star.

If you want someone who is for crony capitalism, union corruption, and even bigger government solutions, there is always Hillary. I see no reason to nominate someone with a GOP label, who behind closed doors would agree on just about everything with her, and has for the majority of his life.

The mainstream media has given Trump a pass thus far. As he continues to ascend, they will unleash the mother of all truth bombs, exposing this very flawed candidate they know quite well from his almost 70 years living in the belly of the beast, the morally bankrupt NYC. Here is just a small taste of what is to come.

Do you want to build alliances with senators who are completely at odds with the Constitution and conservative principals? I admire the positions he took on the floor of the senate. That is the reason WDC hates him. He was standing up for us.
