So, Trump wants to blow up the system he gamed the entire time he was a businessman? That’s quite an imaginative stretch.

‘Playing against type’ is the only way out of this mess, as it was with the Founding Fathers.

Trump wants to blow up the system he gamed the entire time he was a businessman? That’s quite an imaginative stretch.

Exhibit A: Every single power player currently running the system is behaving as if Trump is gonna blow it up.

The rapid, panicked reaction of the establishment – of both parties – UTTERLY makes MANIFEST (Cruz's Magic Power Words) that Trump truly does threaten the system.

Takes no imagination at all. Takes eyes to see.

I don’t care about his sex romps. The Bushes are not honest people - possibly you need to read Roger Stone’s book about them. He is the ultimate insider in all things politics and has never been wrong.

Noted. Now let me ask you something related. Namely, are you comfortable with a politician who lies with incredible sincerity and earnestness? I ask bc I had occasion earlier to repost what Cruz said about the Gang of Eight. When you read the comments, and realize that, according to Cruz, it was all lies, it might give an objective party pause.

“If this amendment is adopted to the current bill, the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI status. They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed, under the terms of the bill, they would be eligible for LPR status as well so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principal objective to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally to be out of the shadows. ... I don’t want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass. And so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows. Then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to come together. And this amendment, I believe, if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically.”

From Wikipedia:

“Neil Bush was a member of the board of directors of Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan during the 1980s’ larger savings and loan crisis. As his father, George H. W. Bush, was Vice President of the United States, his role in Silverado’s failure was a focal point of publicity. According to a piece in Salon, Silverado’s collapse cost taxpayers $1.3 billion.[4]

The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado’s failure and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous “breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest.” Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement.[5]

A friend who also donated funds to the Republican Party set up a fund to help defer costs Neil incurred in his S&L legal defense.[6]”

TX - I’m starting to understand more why people hate politics, don’t vote and don’t care - people like Catsrus and his emotional, unhinged tears scare them off.

I find it truly sad the behavior of people on this site when it comes to Trump v Cruz. We’re all supposed to be conservatives here and the real enemy is out there, but so many are so jacked-up about ‘their guy’ they’d rather go down with the ship then make a sensible choice.

It saddens me how many Americans have become apathetic about elections and what they can do to change the course our nation is on....but you could be right that they don't have "thick enough hides" to "duke it out". LOL

While there are several people here that just want to "bait, insult and run"....I've met several Trump supporters that I've had some good, informative debates with.

Cruz is still my guy......but at least I can look at Trump with different eyes when seen through a serious supporter who will discuss why they support him....and answer the questions I have about him. I've gone from "never supporting that Yankee"......to understanding I'll have to "re-enter" the election with "new" eyes towards Trump should Cruz drop out and he's still in.

Unfortunately, flame throwers can't seem to understand that they are doing nothing but ticking people off on a "personal level"....which damages the appeal of the candidate they are supporting. Sad business, if you ask me........

Well lets look at Cruz's people, he has David Mercer, who is one of his backers and he also is Glenn Beck's money man, and of course Glenn Beck, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CFVPZIlbHw, and he received a visit from the SS,

DALLAS (CBS11) – Conservative radio host Glenn Beck is under investigation after a comment he made on his radio show when talking about GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Beck says his comment was not directed towards the presidential candidate.

This appears to be a misunderstanding but the Secret Service tells CBS11 it’s aware of the comment and will conduct an appropriate follow-up investigation.

During his radio show Friday morning, Beck and his producers were talking about the other candidates saying they would support Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee.

His producer mocked Beck after Beck mentioned being in the shoes of Trump’s rivals:

“Was it gigantic shoes?” asked the producer Stu Burguiere.

“If I was close enough and I had a knife. Really. I mean the stabbing just wouldn't’t stop,” Beck responded, appearing to direct his comments at Burguiere.

Burguiere said on Facebook, “It was reported that Glenn had threatened to stab a presidential candidate this morning which was odd since I was on the show with him and didn't’t notice anything like that… Of course, if you were listening, you know that Glenn actually threatened me, not Donald Trump, so I am in the odd situation of defending my boss for threatening my life.”

The reason the Secret Service said it’s doing a follow-up investigation is because they protect Trump.

Beck’s radio show is based out of Las Colinas and they did not respond to requests for comment Friday.

And then there was this from Romney:

.@MittRomney: I am supporting 3 of the candidates right now. @tedcruz @marcorubio & @JohnKasich #FNS

Oh I would say that Ted Cruz IS establishment and always has been and now eating and drinking with them also....

It was a general reply to the thread, not to you in particular.
