These people just need to accept the fact that it’s Cruz’s “time”. How dare they try to get in the way of that? What a bunch of racists.

You and your family get SS detail when you declare.

Every single day since he announced his candidacy - there are a myriad of articles pro or con - mostly con - and I’m sick of it already. Meanwhile, the lunatic in the WH is ready to give nukes to the Iranians, and these damned idiots are focused on an election some 22 months from now? Ok, I’m probably off a few months, but you get my drift.

I feel you. This is all a Red Herring, unfortunately. Focus on Cruz’s supposed “defects” and “schemes” while drawing attention away from Obama’s very real ones.

I don’t believe so, I think it’s when you become the nominee or you’re black.

I agree - I think all presidential candidates get SS protection when they officially declare they are running for the job.

Cruz might win the nomination, but the road to the White House looks mathematically impossible for any Republican.

In 2016, about 27% of voters will be non-white, and more than 80% of them will vote for the Democrat.

The GOP nominee will need to get at least 62% of the white vote to overcome that non-white voting bloc.

That's not likely.

Since the Reagan reelection landslide in 1984, no GOP nominee has ever received more than 60% of the white vote.

Did you know that Ted Cruz received 41% of the Hispanic vote in 2012?

Amazing that in these conversations voter fraud is almost always IGNORED...

IF Cruz is selected (and it is an IF) voter fraud is an important issue.. maybe the most important..

With GOPe working hand in hand with democrats voter fraud at the primary is also possible...
You know...... like in 2012.. when a KNOWN obvious collaborator with democrats was SELECTED... (probably)..
AND ALL the conservative candidates WERE REJECTED..

I have not seen the 41% number before.

Cruz’s own polling says 40%.

The Rice University Political Science Department studied all Texas exit polls and estimated 36%.

“Latino Decisions,” a Texas-based organization that specializes on national and state Hispanic voting, says that Cruz got 35% - but the poll was taken Election Eve.

Here’s the link:

http://www.latinovote2012.com/app/#all-tx-all

The national Hispanic vote is the most important number, not the Texas Hispanic vote.

Only George W. Bush (2004) and Ronald Reagan (1984) received 40% of the Hispanic vote nationally.

No other GOP candidate has reached 40% - ever.

In 2004, 77% of voters were white.

In 2004, Bush got 58% of the white vote, and Bush won the popular vote by just over 2%.

In 2012, only 72% of voters were white, and, because of massive LEGAL immigration, that number will continue to go down.

I stand by my prediction - no Republican nominee can win in 2016 unless he gets 62% of the white vote, and that will be very, very hard to do.

Voter fraud is a non-issue with me.

Republicans were screaming “Voter Fraud” in 1960, which was the first presidential election I was old enough to carefully follow.

In 2012, Republicans were still screaming “Voter Fraud.”

In 52 years we have done exactly NOTHING to stop Democrat voter fraud.

If election fraud has actually changed election results, then the Republican Party DESERVES to lose because of laziness, or indifference, or political timidity.

Most important, the Democrats do not NEED to cheat anymore.

The have enough eligible voters to win the White House in 2016 and to take back the Senate in 2016 or 2018.

After Congressional re-districting in 2022, they will have enough eligible voters to take back the House of Representatives.

All they have to do is get their LEGAL voters to the polls, and if they do, we have no way to beat them.

I don't know...

1300 Felons voting for Al Franken and making him the 60th Senator to get beyond Cloture so Obamacare could be brought up on the floor of the Senate is an issue with me.

What is worse, no one has done a bleeping thing about it, He shouldn't be their plain and simple....

Wow! I never knew they changed that.

I do remember that when W left office, the Clintons down-graded his protection to a few years, instead of lifetime. I never checked to see if the Clintons get “lifetime” protection.

Soooooo .. I would guess, this SS detail list was possibly changed during this admin?

I still believe God will put Hillary in power because America is under judgment. If He even allows America to survive until then.

Exactly... except a few States now require I.D. to VOTE...
In my State voting twice doesn’t happen.. UNLESS you voted in another State.. and illegal OR legal aliens do not vote..
