Suddenly it makes sense why Cruz was telling Bloomberg just a week ago that legal status for illegal aliens wasnt off the table, despite his feud with Rubio!...... Heidi Cruz, a Goldman Sachs Executive and former member of the CFR, who, contrary to Cruzs claims otherwise, supported the North American Union and the immigration and economic hell that gives.

Please overlook Cruzs delusions....he needs help....
he's intoxicated by the fumes of Donald's private jet.

What are Conservative Values?

Are you a Trump supporter?

Tell me what you believe that you are accomplishing here? The answer is "Nothing".

Not exactly. It's very revealing what some, out of desperation or whatever, will stoop to in effort convince others X candidate is a "Front-runner" when they're far from it.

So it does have some entertainment value and provides some insight into the world of desperate thinking.

The sad part is, the "stooping" is just poking holes in the delusions of Freepers who have been fooled by Cruz's deceptive use of language before conservative audiences, then very different claims to the MSM.

Actually it simply alienates voters that you need. It can also incite flame wars that FR doesn’t need. It’s also childish but if you’re bored, carry on.

Yes, we should all elect our next President based on the fact that they may have a private plane. Heck, let’s just elect John Travolta He has a private plane.

And you think being a pita will change anyone’s mind? It doesn’t. Hubris is never pretty.

From Lowery, head anti-Trump pimp in Benson/Goldberg/Geraghty cabal.
He absolutely doesn’t mean any of it, if you followed his previous sniping at Cruz, but now Cruz is the last straw they have to derail Trump until they can revive their boy Rubio.

“Yet Ted rolls on...things are getting interesting!”

See the five day rolling Reuters poll? He’s not even in double digits. He’s just above Jeb.

Yes, he’s conservative. Yes, he’s Christian. Yes, he’s very bright. Yes, the sun rises and sets over him. But he does not have broad appeal outside of FR. In order to win the GENERAL election, not the Iowa caucus, he has to connect and appeal to wide swath of voters, some not conservative, some not overly religious, but all dam* worried about where we’re headed as a country. Trump had 10,000 people last week at an event in Massachusetts....he had “tens of thousands” at an event today. He’s appealing to a much broader audience with a Put America First message. He’s the first one to hit on illegal immigration...trade....now on to 2nd Amendment and keep unvetted refugees out. He’s steps ahead of the media, his detractors and the other candidates. What’s Cruz’s message? How is it different or better than Trump?

Trump is leading the next closest challenger now by 10 points nationally (I know, there are some state polls that show a variety of ratings, but the vast majority are all trending Trump big)...and unless Trump absolutely goes off the rails.this is Trump’s to lose. Cruz would be an outstanding 2nd term Senator, VP (maybe), AG in a Trump admin, or on the SCOTUS.

No, none of these are "automated" and you know better. I have told you for weeks, when the flattering stories from GOPe sources like Lowery started to appear, exactly what the puff pieces were: go back 3 months---they wrote the same things about Fiorina, then a month ago, about Carson ("gee, Ben really is LEADING this"). Now Ted.

Rich Lowery, Guy Benson, Jim Geraghty, Jona Goldberg, and Charles Cooke would not allow Cruz anywhere near the White House if they have their way. But before they cut Cruz off at the knees, they have to eliminate the real threat, and, yes, the real front-runner, Trump.

If you can deal with flame wars and heated arguments, I’d say you’re in the wrong place. Maybe come back after the election over.

Anyway, I’m now bored of the Cruz “Front-runner” thread.

Cheers...

TPA was good for us, TPP is bad yet wouldn’t have one without the other. I don’t buy he was misled, he’s too damn smart for that.

I hope I’m wrong but I see him going after Trump soon. Hope not or he will come off my short list, period.

"Yes, we should all elect our next President based on the fact that they may have a private plane. Heck, let’s just elect John Travolta He has a private plane."

That goes to show you how shallow some Trump supporters are.

They probably drool in awe over his gold bathroom fixtures, too, not understanding they're the upscale version of velvet Elvis paintings.

Palin (who I love) and Bernie Sanders (who I don’t like), have had huge crowds come to see them. This is not a barometer as to who can win an election, especially this far out in the election cycle. Yes, McCain, did no favors to himself, but, as you recall, Palin’s rally’s were right before the end. My point being, big crowds don’t necessarily mean ballot box results.
