but the establishment will sell what’s left of their soul to beat Trump.
******************************************

That right there is why I’m for Trump.
The RNC/GOP sold their soul long ago to the Cheap Labor Express.
They have been paid for an amnesty candidate.
They intend to deliver.
Just as they have in every election since the last amnesty.

“But stop the madness by any insinuation that Cruz is part of the establishment. They freaking hate him. “

I know, I know, but I’m still hung up on the Goldman Sachs thing. Goldman obviously doesn’t hate him, and you can’t get much more inside than Goldman Sachs.

His vote on Iran - giving Obama negotiation authority rather than voting on the treaty like the Constitution says you should also bugs me.

I don’t dislike Cruz, but I don’t exactly buy his “outsider” self-description. Just because the insiders hate you doesn’t mean you aren’t an insider.

Maybe Cruz was doing the same thing Trump was doing when he gave money to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Tread carefully.
Recognizing that someone you admire and looked up to may be playing you is a hard thing to do. It took me awhile.
I was on the Cruz bandwagon the day he announced and thought Trump was a joke the day he announced.
A few things before Trump jumped in had started doubts about Cruz, the cloture vote enabling TPA and the Corker bill, which stands the Constitution on its head.
The addition of Bushbots to the campaign is on top of all the Goldman Sachs/CFR/NorthAmerican Union revelations.

As the campaign has developed I listened to Trump and started to understand that he was serious about winning.
I watched as he pushed back on The Ministry of Propaganda successfully.
Personally the more I saw of Trump, the more I liked and the opposite is true for me about Cruz.


Thank you for your insights!

I am trying not to be too harsh; however, I think the facts need to be aired.

I agree with what you said:
A few things before Trump jumped in had started doubts about Cruz, the cloture vote enabling TPA and the Corker bill, which stands the Constitution on its head.
The addition of Bushbots to the campaign is on top of all the Goldman Sachs/CFR/NorthAmerican Union revelations.

I had/have been extremely concerned about Cruz 500% expansion of H-1B Visas prior to his announcement. As my son, who works out in San Jose, just lost his job 2 weeks ago, this has become an extremely sensitive issue to me now :(

Of course, I have had some really “sensitive” Cruz people tell me it is a wonderful thing...son can find a new frontier or opportunity to explore, etc...fact remains, he is in tech industry and is fighting for his life right now in a soft economy competing with Indians, and Chinese here on various types of visas. :(

As I stated yesterday, I am looking at this election less in a liberal vs. conservative paradigm, but instead a globalist vs sovereignty paradigm...Trump is the one candidate who wanted to deal with the border and immigration...none of the others did this campaign.

I also agree that Trump is fighting Political correctness as it exists on BOTH the LEFT and RIGHT end of the spectrum.

He is a brave man—I have never seen anyone handle so much flack from the left, GOPe and rightwing. I am hoping and I believe that he can make a difference

Sure, Ted is more "Establishment" than he lets on.

It all depends on how you define "Establishment."

There was an Establishment before there was activist government and will be one even if (as is very unlikely) one could cut down the size of government substantially.

But after what Donald said about Carly's looks, did anybody really expect that she'd endorse him or not endorse the guy who may have the best chance of beating him?

I found a poll from January in which Cruz was the second choice of 39% of Trump supporters. I couldn’t find anything more recent.

Your choice is either a proven conservative and a showman. Good luck with that, this coming from a person who has worked in 4 Latin American embassies, observing the American people didn't do jack shit about immigration for 3 decades: they kept electing the same people. And now they want their showman to wave a magic wand and fix their problem because of their apathy.

When the Director of INS resigned during the Clinton administration.....not a peep out of the American people. They didn't even know what the issue was.

Fast forward to the present day: we have a true conservative brought up with biblical values, and we choose to shit on him, saying he hasn't done anything, calling him part of the establishment. America deserves what it gets.

Another hit piece from a guy known for his hit pieces. "Sundance," pro-Clinton/Trump hack from TheConservativeTreehouse.com, is Mark Ivor Bradman. He's got a long and notorious history of "getting it wrong" ...

Except for one thing. You posted that you had it on good authority that Sundance is a woman employed by Trump. The more I challenged you, the more you insisted your info was correct.

I was wondering about Fiorina this morning — something just didn’t seem right.

You are the one with a history of getting it wrong. Unless, of course, you’re standing by your insider sources who assure you that Sundance is a female Trump employee.

As I’ve said before: Donald has all the right enemies, and Ted has all the wrong friends.

I hate to see Ted doing this.

The GOP has been actively blocking efforts by the citizens to do anything about it.

Every election since the last amnesty have been amnesty candidates. It was not accidental.

Sorry, my friend, but I am no longer on the “tease the ZOTee” list. Try getting OldSarge here to celebrate the lightning.

All that chemo has really torn me down, and I am not the woman that I used to be, but I’m trying to take better care
of myself so I can get back to being me again.

Just listen to Hillary talk for a minute and realize that Trump enjoys her company.
