I’d never vote for someone that accepted Beck’s endorsement and had him on stage.

I love hearing republicans claiming they are conservatives and only liberals like Trump. They say they will vote for Hillary if Trump gets the nomination.

They will vote for Hillary because they support the Democrat Socialist Agenda, that’s the only reason.

Cruz is backed by the Bush family.

Cruz lost the South East, can’t win New York or California.

Cruz would certainly lose.

The same Ted Cruz who couldn’t even draw 20% in Ohio last Tuesday is gonna beat Hillary in that same state in November? Wouldn’t bet the ranch on it.


Another nail in the “Cruz is the only candidate who can beat Hillary” coffin... Donald Trump lost Ohio.... but still got more votes than Hillary.

“No. Cruz couldn’t win the South with other so-called conservatives or moderately conservatives splitting the vote.”

Translation:

If you dont vote for Cruz, you aren’t a real conservative, so that means those people that didn’t vote for Cruz (in every southern conservative state) weren’t really ever conservatives, so that means Cruz got all of the conservative votes.

So the myth is kept alive!

That’s funny. I always thought of Texas as a southern state. But then again, I’m a yankee, and anything below me is a southern state.

Hey just saying. They sure didn’t like Cruz the past couple of months, a Yankee took it, and that hadn’t been done since Sherman’s March.

You take Alabama for instance. You going to tell 371,735 Alabamians they were wrong with who they voted for in the primary? Good luck with that

Let’s not forget that Beck said Cruz is the savour that the Mormans are looking for, they thought it was Romney.

I agree.
I really don’t think Ronald Reagan could win California these days.

... That means his agenda is officially over....

Cruz is the guy who stood against ethanol subsidies in Iowa and went on to win. Trump actually read a statement (not his normal ad lib) to expand ethanol and reward the crony capitalist Iowa corn lobby. If one cannot even eliminate this boondoggle, do you trust him to actually reduce federal spending.

The Cruz agenda is intact.

I don’t know about that but Cruz is the only savior running according to Glenn Beck.

I am curious, you do not answer so many folks who ask you if Senator Cruz cannot beat Mr. Trump, then how in any rational world do you think Senator Cruz can attract main-stream voters in a general election?

Senator Cruz has a number of weaknesses that seem to have come to light as the pressures of the primary campaign season have highlighted. Early on I was attracted to Senator Cruz, ostensibly because of his positions taken during the past two years. As the campaign season continued, I believe that he has demonstrated a weakness in being a leader by not controlling the likes of people such as Glen Beck. Senator Cruz is either unwilling or unable to see the pitfalls of a multi-ballot convention. I fear that Senator Cruz’s ambition will result in a republican candidate that will not have participated in the primary process. Senator Cruz’s path to a nomination would require 87% of the remaining primary delegates; this is not realistic to occur.

These flights of fancy--all a poll taken before the particular issue is really in play, can possibly be--are next to worthless as portends of the actual event.

I remember with nostalgia, but very bitter disappointment, as a young Goldwater supporter, when Barry passed Kennedy in a major poll, shortly before Kennedy was assassinated. That hopeful result, made us allow too large a honeymoon for LBJ, after the assassination, believing that 1964 would be the year America returned to her traditional values. It was not to be.

Of course, realistically, the most Conservative candidate likely to be elected is Donald Trump.

Trump really is a natural (instinctive) Conservative, now clearly in wake-up mode. He has already performed an immense service to the Conservative cause.

We Stand With Trump!
