I'm not tired of winning yet.

May God grant Donald Trump the humility and grace, and us the mercy, to enable him to be our next President and lead all the people with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.

“Funny how Cruz never publicly told them to stop it.”

Good point!

Lee and Cruz’s father are big babies.

Cruz’s father said Trump would be worse than Hillary Clinton, Trump is “ultra liberal” and he cannot beat Hillary and all of this crap. Why is he doing this?

Then Trump said Cruz’s father was being inappropriate and he “was with” Lee Harvey Oswald. This is supposedly off limits to the Cruz’s.

But you know if there were pictures of Trump with Lee Harvey Oswald, Team Cruz and everybody would use them and bring up that Lee Harvey shot JFK.

If Mike Lee, Ted Crux and father Cruz cannot take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And they all need to grow up.

Whether they like him or not, the primaries gave Trump the lead, which means he is the one who the PEOPLE want.

The very word “Republic” means that we the people vote for candidates to represent US in their decision-making.

If these politicians refuse to do the will of the people who elected them, they need to be removed.

I did not start out as a Trump fan, but when I see the subterfuge and vitriol aimed at him, and look at the poll numbers, it makes me more and more attracted to him as a candidate.

The “Country-Cub-Checkered-Pants-Establishment-Pusillanimous-GOPe does NOT represent me!

I’ll give Lee and Cruz a shot at forgiveness now that they have clearly lost. If I see them work now for a Trump/Pence victory, then bygones bygones.

I knew this wouldn’t make it anywhere. It was idiotic and undemocratic. It’s time for ALL Republicans and conservatives to unite behind the Trump/Pence ticket. What goes around comes around. Like many Republicans, I didn’t like or vote for Mitt Romney 4 years ago in the primaries, yet I voted for him in November in an attempt to stop Obama. It’s time for the ‘Never Trump’ crowd to swallow their pride and support Trump/Pence. Time to stop being such sore losers.

Those “consistent conservative” former freepers must be pretty angry today.

Perhaps they’ll find solace with their intolerant hateful DNC companions in a couple weeks.

Erick Erickson of RedState was pushing Walker/Cruz ticket just today on his website. The man is delirious and needs meds.


He was hospitalized for a heart problem during this insane temper tantrum. I hope he can cool his jets now.

Wonder if he bought in to the Glenn Beck Mormon theology meme where Cruz was supposedly chosen by God...

Mike Lee, Jeff Flake, Mia Love, Jason Chaffetz, Tagg Romney & other Romney sons want to turn the GOP into some sort of Mormon millenial hipster confab.

Thank god Dana White & Fertitta brothers & Donald Trump & others are standing up to their crap.

Never buy a jacket, or a hat without trying them on in front of a mirror!

P.S. blue jeans don't work well on fatties.

If it had passed, what good would voting in the primary be in the future? You’d have to hope delegates selected to represent your vote at the convention shared the same opinion.
