Recent history says the GOP won't learn its lesson next time around.
Donald Trump is halfway to the Republican presidential nomination. Sen. Ted Cruz is the only rival who can catch him. Many Republicans think either candidate would be a disastrous nominee, but they aren't sure which is worse. Trump is volatile and incendiary. Cruz is dogmatic and abrasive. Choosing between them, in the words of Sen. Lindsey Graham, is like choosing between "being shot or poisoned."
The good news, these Republicans figure, is that neither injury would be fatal. With Trump or Cruz at the top of the ticket, 2016 will be a bad year. But the loss will sober Republican voters. They'll learn that rejecting the establishment candidate, and nominating an angry outsider or a zealot instead, just surrenders more votes and more power to the Democrats. The GOP's fever will break, and in 2020 Republicans will choose a more mainstream candidate....

Read the article I posted.
You keep spouting this dishonest drivel, even though is has been proved to be false.
There has never been any evidence presented to show that Ted’s mother ever became a Canadian citizen.
At the time that Ted was born, Ted obtained US citizenship at birth through his mother.
But keep wasting your time. It is like mental masturbation - it makes you feel good, but ultimately means nothing in the real world.
He now has shed both the Bush stench and Romney odor.
You can keep your cyber bulling to yourself, and how dare you speak to another FR person in that manner!!! You are totally disgusting!!!
Oh please - after all the invective I have seen you hurl at Cruz supporters, and now all of a sudden you are going to start clutching your pearls and retiring to your fainting couch???
Here is a fact for you. The Founder Father’s included NBC within the Eligibility Clause as a means to prevent someone born with foreign allegiance from every becoming President and thus Commander In Chief of the US Military. The intent of this is documented. This prevented those that were citizens of foreign countries from immigrating and influencing the Presidency. So an NBC is someone that is and only is a US citizen at birth, thus having allegiance only to the USA. Dual Citizenship is not NBC as the intent of NBC within the Clause was to prevent foreign influence/allegiances. To be NBC there can be no other possibility of allegiance or citizenship claim.
Fact: Cruz held Dual Citizenship with Canada until 2014. Cruz until denouncing his Canadian Citizenship had allegiance to Canada.
Fact: Cruz is ineligible.
Thank You for stating that so nicely...it seems some on here just can’t comprehend what they are reading..
For the establishment republicans it’s a choice between the Heretic or the Barbarian. “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.”
Cruz in 2020 will still be Holy Ted the lying Bible-pounder.
The Jeb Bush campaign was damaged because Jeb Bush knows something that a lot of people don't know, and is exactly what Trump talked about when he said that GWB did not keep America safe after 9/11.
“If courageous former senator Bob Graham is successful in getting 28 pages pertaining to the Saudis that are currently redacted in the 9/11 Commission report released, attorneys who have seen these documents say they prove that a member of the Saudi family was the principal financier of the 9/11 attacks. The Bush family connections to the Saudis have made the 41st president very wealthy, and the Saudis bailed out the worthless energy company the 43rd president ran into the ground by buying it, Jeb sent a signal that he was still the pay of the Saudis when his campaign refused to renounce the support of the Saudis’ lawyer at court, James A. Baker the third, when pro-Israel Republican groups demanded it.”
You see “Senator Graham, who has seen the classified material, spilled the beans: “The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11 and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier,” he said, adding, “I am speaking of the kingdom,” or government, of Saudi Arabia, not just wealthy individual Saudi donors. “This is a pervasive pattern of covering up the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11 by all the agencies of the federal government which have access to information that might illuminate Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11”
“Yet the New York Post reported, “ sources who have seen the censored 28 pages say it cites CIA and FBI case files that directly implicate officials of the Saudi Embassy in Washington and its consulate in Los Angeles in the attachs”—which, if true, would make 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war by a foreign government”
Jeb (!) and the Bush Crime Family pages 324 and 361
if his negatives are so bad, why does Trump have 2,500,000 primary votes more than Cruz?
“If his negatives are so bad, why does Trump have 2,500,000 primary votes more than Cruz?”
Because Kasich, Rubio, and Carson have been competing for the 70% of the party that won’t vote for Trump.
70% against? where do you get that from? Trump’s at 50% Republican support - and climbing
