Mt Airy..... Too bad Andy and Barney aren’t around to help.
For me, I've been observing Ted Cruz for awhile. I know that he represents my believes. When Ted Cruz announced his Presidential run, I studied more on him and I was and still is very impressed on the depth of his knowledge and understanding on issues facing our country. His heart is in the right place, like Sarah Palin. I don't think he will do anything to hurt this country and her people.
So that's how you choose a candidate for president? Go with one until a new shiny object comes along?
Incredible.
Nope, Ted Cruz can’t keep up with Donald Trump’s brash big mouth and being a arrogant jerk sometimes, go ask his ex wife that.
They are going to need to buy pleaty of toilet paper with that money after eating a crap sandwich.
Donald Trump is not fit to be president.
He make a great Fed Chairman, Sec. of Commerce, but his big ego won’t allow him to be nothing less than being president.
And Rand Paul is his back up GOP court jester mini me.
