On the other hand, the lawmaker fretted that Cruz as president would routinely swat down bills passed by Congress if they contained elements of compromise.
“With Cruz I’d be worried about opposition along the lines that things don’t go far enough,” the GOP senator added.
There you go - the choice is a consistent conservative or a wheeler-dealer who many in the Establishment recognize will make deals with them.
Tell me again, who is the choice conservatives - that Americans, should support?
Tell them they can quit worrying, Trump will have a majority of the delegates before the convention. Too bad for all talk do nothing establishment boy Teddy.
I know you tend to get strong opinions to your posts, but I enjoy them, so don’t stop!
My preference is Trump 1, Cruz 2. I am really glad the GOPe has these as the only two choices left.
In my view Cruz’ best fit is SCOTUS.
If I could predict the GOP ticket, it would not be Trump/Cruz (although that’s a really good one).
I would think that if I had to place a bet as to the GOP ticket, it would be Donald Trump / Scott Walker.
Go to Drudge for the full article.
If the nomination is stolen from Trump, Republicans will have difficulty winning anything, right down to local dog catcher. Why? Those new voters are gonna vote, and they’ll be mad as *ell.
Ironically, the reason Trump got the traction he has is precisely because too many Republican Senators, and Congressman, did not stick to the policy tenets they campaigned on. The whole anti-establishment sentiment that has propelled Cruz and Trump was borne of that failure of elected Republicans to stick to those policy tenets.
No, just keep your mouth shut and vote. Then support the winner. How hard is that?
TRump : tough choice/
Cruz : Shades of Reagan.
“I go back and forth between them,” another GOP senator told The Hill Wednesday. “They’re both so unpredictable.”
Gee, that’s too bad, Linda.
“Republican senators say Trump has proven himself to be a formidable political force. However, they question whether he’ll stick to conservative policy tenets once in office.”
Pot meet kettle.
It is precisely because of the extreme conservatism that many conservatives find Cruz distasteful and are not voting for him.
Cruz is in fact not attracting enough conservatives to win
Agree. The nomination I see it as Trump’s to lose. So if Trump goes to the convention with the most delegates and doesn’t get the nomination, a good chunk of his supporters could easily say, “screw it,” and stay home.
If the GOPe wants to maintain their gravy train, they will try and steal the nomination. My guess is that if they have a can’t miss strategy to do that but at the same time maintain control of the House and Senate, they’ll do that in a heartbeat.
Would not surprise me if they are wargaming how to screw Trump AND Cruz while conning the GOP voters to come vote anyway for GOP Reps and Senators.
“just keep your mouth shut and vote.”
Can she wear shoes? Leave the kitchen?
Bernie Sanders
When he gets screwed by the Clintons most of his supporters will stay home and a few will vote for the GOP candidate ( a lot will vote gop if it is trump)
So a vote for Bernie means not- Hillary more than voting for a gop RINO
How about letting the voters decide? I guess it would be too much for the elitist scumbags to do that, though. They have all lined up behind Ted now and we’re all supposed to vote for Ted to “stop Trump”.
Screw that. Sounds like more of the same, to me.
Easy choice:
Trump, a liberal RAT under cloak who will lead to the destruction of the Republican Party.
Cruz, an unashamed Conservative who will lead to the energizing of conservatism.
Sure they hate both, but one leads to their demise, the other leads to a rise of conservatism, but at least they still have a shot of playing a part in the game.
Trump will lead to their absolute destruction, as the party WILL crumble if he is nominated.
If you think otherwise, you are kidding yourself.
When did Reagan ever scorn patronize and insult any group of GOP voters by calling them white trash ( ie, “ low informatioan”)
When did he ever jump on a KKK meme and call his GOP opponent a racist?
Cruz is no Reagan. He is Greg Marmalarde from “ Animal House”
and Trump started a GOP food fight like Blutowski
Look who won at the end!
The one wheeling and dealing is the guy who have brought Neil BUSH on board for financial advice, is meeting with Jeb, and who has “accidentally” voted for TPA and promoted TPP.
And there’s the lie about Canadian citizenship.
I don’t trust Cruz.
“Beep beep beep” (Sound of Trump-truck backing up)
Donald the driver, “Load all those used up Cruz conservative robots, I'll take them back to the brand new American factory and have newly employed Americans refurbish them.”
Anytime RINOS face an agonizing choice, it’s a good day for America.
