In what many are calling “The End” for Ted Cruz’s presidential bid, Donald Trump ran away with the North East, sweeping PA, CT, RI, MD, and DE in epic Trump-fashion.
It will become increasingly difficult for an already mathematically eliminated Ted Cruz to continue to justify staying in a race after this monumental shellacking.
Ted has defended his odd decision to stay in the race by claiming that Trump has no path to 1237. After tonight’s humiliating defeat will anyone seriously buy what Ted’s trying to sell?

more proof that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink
the Cruzers will squealing about him for years after this is over like Al Gore’s disciples I’m afraid.
They will kick and scream every time Trump as POTUS does something they don’t agree with (and he will, he can’t please all of us all the time, no POTUS can).
The entire presidency of Donald J. Trump will be filled with laments of “I told you so’s” by the Cruzers and chants of “Cruz would have done it perfectly! Our Messiah was the Face of God!”
I learned long ago never to argue religion with anyone. You can’t. Ted Cruz is a religion.
Cruz is all vinegar and water.

Business Tax Changes
Cuts the corporate income tax rate from the current 35 percent to 15 percent.
Ends the deferral of income from controlled foreign subsidiaries, but preserves the foreign tax credit. It would also enact, as a transitional revenue raiser, a one-time deemed repatriation tax of 10 percent on all foreign profits currently deferred.
Taxes pass-through businesses at the rate of 15 percent commensurate with the traditional corporations.
Caps the deductibility of interest expenses.
Trump is not coming from a scene where he waxes eloquent on the Constitution or bemoans large gov in a Tea Party meeting. We might get lucky and he may produce similar results via a different language or path. I see him cutting waste, developing competence and service in govt. agencies. This may result in “limiting government”
Give him a chance to learn.....
Answer all of my previously asked queries first; kid.
Thanks, Chgogal. I’d seen the Tax Foundation article, and skimmed it, but missed the line on corporate taxes. If he holds to that, it is reasonably heartening. I’d prefer a flatter tax on the personal side, but I think I lower, flat corporate tax rate regardless would pay us all bigger dividends sooner.
You’re too lat, Chgogal beat you to it... the ship has sailed :P
You’re still looking for a candidate? If you haven’t found one by now you probably never will. We had a bus full of politician candidates and but two bailed out and those two can’t win.
I’d say it’s becoming clear, if not Trump your only other choice would be Hillary.
Since you obviously can't stand Trump, don't trust him, believe that he is weak, then vote for Bernie, or Hillary or nobody. Better still, get out of America; you don't like living here...go find your UTOPIA. LOL
That’s a fair point. It DOES speak a bit to why I distrust him, since he’s not a ‘movement conservative’, but it is entirely possible that we do get lucky and, as you say, he gets us a lot of what we want via a different route, possibly unintentionally, since I think at heart he still believes in something akin to the ‘transformative power of government’, at least in some situations.
I don’t have the time to waste.
I’m not sure the poster is female and I don’t care.
I’m certain the poster is enjoying all the attention and likely laughing in front of a group of like-minded idiots.
“Yes, 25/15/10/0 is still too steep for me, I’d prefer a flat tax”
I don’t think you are serious in your words. Trump’s plan and Cruz plan end up at virtually the same place. And did you think about the dangers of a flat tax? Or the fact that it is politically impossible to get a flat tax passed in Congress? It may sound good in a political ad, but it’s not reality.
And Trump’s corporate plans are the best of any candidate. These are just 2 points ...
“No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America’s tax rate one of the best in the world.”
“A one-time deemed repatriation of corporate cash held overseas at a significantly discounted 10% tax rate. Since we are making America’s corporate tax rate globally competitive, it is only fair that corporations help make that move fiscally responsible. U.S.-owned corporations have as much as $2.5 trillion in cash sitting overseas.”
Shhhh.... the rest of us have moved on ;)
That one is a complete idiot and doesn’t know what she’s talking about, nor does she answer any questions put to her.

Well, rest-assured I am not voting for Hillary! As I have said repeatedly, Trump still has an opportunity to earn my vote (for as little as it is worth), but has yet to do so.
Answer the questions I have put to you...FIRST, as well as what you want a president to do about taxation; ALL taxation. Then and ONLY then, shall I reply to your query.
Your only other choice is Hillary.
Go for it.
Did you approve of Teddy’s messed up, unworkable, purloined “FLAT TAX” position AND his VAT?
