The most liberal Republican who is electable isn’t winning anything either, McCain and Romney proved that. Do they honestly think screaming me too, except instead of us giving you free stuff like the out of the closet leftist we will make you pay for some of it is going to win?

The GOPE is trying to out liberal a liberal on the cheap and it’s not working and will not ever work. But alas our betters in the beloved Party always know best yet continue to be the biggest bunch of losers since the Washington Generals...

‘Ted was “wildly popular” in California’
There are probably small sections of Orange Co and a few in San Diego that are supporting Cruz.
CA is going either Bernie or Hillary.
This is what to watch in CA, not Trump vs Cruz.

Do you want to explain to the good people here that general elections are different than primary elections?

That’s adorable.

So let’s get back to your idiotic statement.

Where do you get off calling people that didn’t vote for Ted “so-called conservatives”.

Apparently you are the one that has some real hate for anyone that isnt in love with Cruz.

I dont care if you want to hit the happy grass and still vote for him, but dont take a swipe at those of us that did in that BS way.

Yes Caliph Baraq was +23 in 2012 and the voter profile has probably gotten worse in 4 yrs.

Frankly, he’s the designated loser.

Name a purple state he has a prayer of winning in the general. Even one. There is no doubt that the deep red states of UT and WY will vote for the gop candidate. But what of FL or VA or OH or PA? Teddy doesn’t have a prayer in those states absent an indictment of hitlery or a meteor strike and he will lose the general as a result.

Agreed, but utterly unelectable.

He isnt getting Gope help for that stuff.

He is getting it with stings attached to strings.

And that is assuming that they aren’t planning on dumping him the minute they dont need him anymore....which they already said out loud that they will do, all the while he sits there with a idiot grin on his face thanking these people for their “endorsement”.

So yes, one way or the other, this means his agenda is officially over.

If trump or Cruz do not obtain at least lip service support of the establishment then you WILL have president Hillary.

Cruz is running with the GOPe now because he has no chance without their cash, people, and dirty tricks. That means his agenda is officially over.

No. They are coming to him. Reagan was not over even though he saw it to be politically prudent to put Bush the Elder on the ticket. Putting Shemp Bush on a finance committee is merely a not of acknowledgement.

The only way to know who is going to follow through with what is to elect one of them. I'm okay with either, preferring Cruz. Cruz remains the only one campaigning as a small government candidate. If Trump wins, I hope he proves me wrong. Reagan's proposed $90 Billion budget cut lost him Florida and maybe the nomination in 1976 (SocSec fears).

Trump won't talk about bringing older entitlement programs under control, and he loves Ethanol mandates. Cruz has been schmoozing with former candidates, trying to get their support. It's politics, and winners do these things.

“Was this written before or after the Glenn Beck anointing priest speech?”

Next, Beck will call in some Mormon High Priests to anoint Cruz with oil and give him a “blessing.”

“Presidential elections don’t hinge on the south.”

And just where did you get this tidbit?

Who will be Hillary’s running mate.
Whoever it is will have to take over when the FBI indicts her.
It’s probably happen just before the RAT convention.

The last time some junior Senator who was a Harvard lawyer with a questionable citizenship was supported by the likes of you we got Obama. Different party, same attitude.

Just what is Cruz pretending to conserve?

Cruz has surrounded himself with corruptocrat neo-con RINOs and their associated donors and lobbyists. The only thing he is trying to conserve is the multi-trillion dollar gravy train of corruption, to the detriment of tax-paying US citizens.

Cruz is not a conservative.

You can’t talk sense to cool aid drinkers. They are part and parcel why the RATs win consistently. But what the hell, they have their “principles,” so all’s good with them despite what their nonsense (has done/does) to the country. They are simply the Shakers of the political scene who are in the process of extinction but can still inflict a lot of damage to the rest of us.

Cruz can’t win the south. We just saw it.


Many who voted for Trump will not vote. It will be a disaster not only for the Presidency but for the House and Senate as well. If Trump is not the nominee I will not vote for Hillary but I will vote for the Senate Democratic Party nominee.
