I would be shocked,stunned disbelieving if the eGOP backed Sen Cruz. After all this is “ the most hated man in the Senate”.

Why??

Aren't they all...

...shameless and a very good showmen?

Dang!

I have had goats for 7 years now and have just learned this!

Thanks; I'll now have a new sign for the barn:

Beware of the Bupkis!

At the end of the day, GOPe stick together. They will back Cruz before they back the true outsider, Trump

The impression I'm getting is the GOPe is backing Mitt Romney.

Linda is just mad Trump hurt his feelings.

That’s awesome!

(I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Bupkis was a word you would hear occasionally from East European origin folks)

I'm just conveying to you...don't worry about it. It will be a non-issue. Hillary has a whole lot more to worry about than a claim that the nominee is not a U.S. natural born citizen.

She will be flailing away attempting to fend off all the negative baggage from the foundation to the private server to mishandling sensitive documents to influence peddling while at the state dept.

I can assure you of this, individual sec. of states for all the states (all 57 of them) have determined Cruz as eligible under current U.S. statutes. It's a YUGE...non issue.

This “Never Trump” meme is the behavior of petulant children looking to spite everyone because their desires were not granted. It has nothing at all to do with anything resembling principals or reason.

No, it has everything to do with priniciples. And that's the reason for the position.

The Bible gives adequate descriptions of real Christians. Trump fits none of them.

Don’t get me wrong. I think Cruz is thoroughly establishment but he is not well liked. The GOPe would rather have Romney but as Linda said, they would get behind Cruz if they had to do so to stop a real insider form getting in and exposing the depths of their scam.

Comparing a PED's abusing actor to Donald Trump is laughable.

Expecting lifetime politicians like Cruz & Rubio to address the issues of the day is also laughable.

Republicans are worthless.

I don't disagree with you at all, but when I look at the known realities, I default to the painfully conscientious position I expressed in the final two paragraphs of the following link:

I just don't understand your rational that Cruz is a GOP Establishment.

He is as far anti-establishment as you can get.

He and Trump are the anti-establishment candidates.

I'm Cruz/Trump all the way.

The only thing that will change that is if he partners up with Rubio.

Just heard Romney's speech, Trump is going to chew up and spit out that real GOPe loser.

Lindsey Graham came out yesterday and said that they may all have to unite behind Cruz to stop Trump. That tells me who the real outsider is. If you remember that Cruz is a professional politician and read his and his wife’s resumes with a skeptical view it would remove all further doubt. There is no other person with his background that any thinking person would consider not part of the establishment.

Lindsey Graham will get the same treatment from Cruz as Trump's treatment of David Duke.

Lindsey is out for himself, after Trump rightfully mocked and ridiculed him.

That's all that Graham business is about.

If Cruz upsets Trump by chance, I hope you vote to defeat Hillary.

I've already said I'm Cruz/Trump.

-Good Luck-

He will destroy the country instead of saving it.

How?

We have 3 branches of government for a reason.

Lost me by the time I got to the purity of Ted’s core

Anyone who watched al the debates saw ted’ s policies morph into trumps policies and then anyone who watched the campaign saw cruz willfully lie about Trumps policies ( which ted obviously studied closely for the debates)

He has an extremely poor character which is why nobody who is around him likes him

But he does have that Ernest Angley vibe down to attract followers
