Don’t forget that Cruz came late to ‘let’s delay Muslim ‘immigration’ to the US.’ After Trump’s stand on let’s see who they are - which can’t be done.
TPP blows ‘immigration’ out of the water anyway. That vote likely comes up in the lame duck.
True enough. Thank you for calming me down. I appreciate it.
It is sad if you don’t see that Ted Cruz or Donald Trump are equally better choices than Hillary. You vote principle in the primary and suck it up in the election. The problem we have is that we are demonizing the other candidate in support of our own. This is what got us Obama. No matter what anyone says Romney would have been an infinitely better President even if he wasn’t as conservative and right on every issue.
Correct! Who are the caucus goers? Mostly party hacks. I was one of them, working as precinct captain in Washington state. I never missed a caucus.
In the general election in November, it will be just the opposite. The candidate needs huge turn out to win.

A lie?
No.
Beck said it. His inference is clear.
Beck has been this way for a long time.
Had Beck said it of YOUR GUY, you’d be upset.
Also hearing of big Cruz wins across Maine. No one else has posted numbers.
There are many millions that agree with you. How can you blame them with the big #nevertrump effort being used as a battering ram against your guy. Cruz people are cool with it until the gun barrels get turned on their guy. Just sayin’
Hasn't that been the problem since....well, since....uhm....Reagan?
Reagan in 1984 was the first vote I was able to make for President. It's been down hill ever since.
I'm sooooooooooooo tired of voting for lifetime politicians.
Cruz will lose with Goldwater proportions in general to Hillary. Cruzers should start prayers and fasting that Hillary gets indicted and Bernie will be the democrat nominee. Only then nominee Cruz has snowballs chance to win.
Cruz is not Reagan. Reagan had broad appeal from both sides of the isle. Cruz appeals to the right wing of the republican party. In the 70s we were in a major depression, gas rationing, and high unemployment. Most people were looking for solutions and ready to try anything.
Today we have a sitting left wing idealog who is broadly popular, the economy is limping, and low unemployment. A large portion of our electorate PEFERS socialism. Add to the problem MSM in the tank for Hillary and the spineless GOP.
Based on this no way does Cruz win NY, FL, CA, PA, MI, OH, VA, the northeast corridor states, or the pacific northwest. There is no path to the White House.
Why does DJT do better than Cruz in open primary states? Because he attracts independents, moderates, and Democrats. Unfortunately, these are the people you need to win the general election.
Not trying to bash any candidate or start a flame war.
Well a lot of Texans trust him because when he campaigned to be Senator from Texas he told them what he would do if he got the vote and he DID exactly what he said he would do.
Also I thought that for Freepers the Constitution was the most important thing for them and Ted Cruz really believes in the Constitution. I don't think I have even heard Trump speak about it.
Aggreed.
We have two good choices this election! I love Cruz you love Trump. One of them is going to be our candidate. I’m just as worries that soured Cruz supporters aren’t going to come together. This is our chance. The best chance since Reagan. Both our candidates are strong on immigration and strong on protecting our border. They both talk the same on most every issue. I trust one more than the other, but the Republicans have to win this. With Trump or Cruz the GOPe is going to have to change.
I work on the Trump Campaign and have called many people, and will continue to do so...we are very polite, remind them to register to vote, have a great day and please vote for Trump...
Have had a lot of good conversations with people... good laughs, and people are very polite...
I will continue to work for the Trump Campaign and will do whatever I can to help get him in the Oval Office, that’s all we can do is help....so I urge you all Trump supporters, do some calling, meet with your people in the Trump campaign offices around your State, build the base and have fun and be happy...I am!!!
And you think Trump is?
There is no hope for anyone who won't read the transcript and watch the video I posted. There was NO inference towards Trump. Geeeez!
Trump doesn’t surround himself with Romney, McCain, Rubio, and Fox Moderators, so yea.
