Well said. I urge you to review his announcement speech for his candidacy. The main imptus for his campaign was the the politicians he had been bribing would not stay bribed.

I can’t decide if he is the “Donor class” or simply a grifter. But to be sure, a great many of his supporters are “The Mark.”

He has received 34 million in donations. He is 24 million in debt. It would have been more but the MSM is using him to make money, and he uses them. He spends other's money. You are correct. Has his

Another concern is the lawsuits. If president he will be the boss of the FBI, IRS, NSA, and DOinJ. He is vindictive and if people think they will be able to say anything about him, they should be forwarned (by the way, maybe it's a good thing Jim is pro-DT).

Nothing has changed much...1983 NYT…

“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record.”

Then there is his history of supporting eminent domain and having no regard for historical significance or as in the case of Scotland (the greatest golf course in the world lost money the last 3 years) building a golf course on "preserved" natural dunes.

In 2013, when he was just a businessman Trump was lambasting Rubio for his amnesty bill. He got more publicity than anyone towards fighting RINOs, except for the Obamacare shutdown later on. Trump didn’t have to do that. You think even before he was a popular nominee, he wasn’t risking business deals by attacking the moronic cuckservative agenda of Rubio.

Cruz had to represent his constituents.

YES. Trump is tearing our party to shreds. He can’t do as much damage in his own party

Trump won’t be the death of the Republican party, but he is killing the Tea Party.

All of the progress made through activist cocervatives is being undone. I can’t count the number of posts disparaging Tea Party activists and candidates...

It is a very sad state of affairs.

Cruz will get 14-18 percent who are foolish voters who will support him on Tuesday. Can’t fix stupid.

You silly silly fool. Trump won the entire south. Cruz lost all of it. So the map will have the entire east coast for trump but Maine. Cruz won Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho and Wisconsin legitimately and that’s it. You are delusional if you think Cruz is a strong candidate.

I’m a southernor and I love the south. Our people tend to be extremely kind and generous. Our voting history is not something to crow about.

We are easily drawn to populist rhetoric. If you need proof of that, history is full of examples. George Wallace comes to mind.

Bless your heart for thinking they swung trump due to his concervatism. Why, I bet you think his “sweeping victories” down here were done with a majority of the vote. That’s why we love Yankees, they believe the gosh darndest things.

Apparently you haven’t been paying attention. Beck, his wife Heidi, and his papa have all said so. Ted has been less direct but said very close to the same thing.

The comment is sarcastic about those claims. Has nothing to do with being anti-Christian

Cruz is sitting at the bottom in NY - even under Kasich. He groomed his resume, for the job he covets so much, since college and now feels entitled enough to abandon some of the conservative principles that many of us bought into and has alienated so much of his base that Romney would have a better chance of winning than Cruz. He is in a can’t win situation so he elects to try to put the selection process in hands that do not think the People should choose. Boosting him is like whipping a dead horse at this point.

I remember who stood with us and who didn’t. Ted Cruz ran for Senate on a Tea Party platform and stood with us. Donald Trump was nowhere to be found. He was too busy buying political favors from the Democrats and establishment Republicans who stood against us.

How did you determine which delegates support Trump?

I’m also in PA, and support Trump.
