Reagan changed his party too.

I guess we shouldn’t have voted for him huh. Do you guys even give a moments thought to your posts before you spew?

Well see how it shakes out. Trump has had his numbers in the stratosphere for months. Let Ted relish the moment.

After returning to Houston in 2008, Cruz and his wife Heidi

Yep. True of Cruz maybe, but not of Texas.

I’ve been struck by the bizarrely hostile and intellectually childish behavior of a few anti-Trump (and allegedly pro-Cruz) rabid posters for quite a while now.
They’ve gone far beyond the usual partisan primary silliness here.

They’re just plain idiots. Hurting Cruz and the forum.

Thanks.

Show me where Sen. Cruz has personally made several billion dollars by openly paying for politicians in each party, the very definition of a crony capitalist.

As I said President Cruz will not wave his magic wand and all crony capitalism will disappear. Not going to happen. But he is not personally lining his pockets like the clintons or trump. He is funding his direct campaign with individual donations, many, many of them coming from small donors like me. He is encouraging larger donors to donate through PACs, over which he has no direct control. These are the current laws. Perhaps it is regrettable that one likely needs a billion dollars in direct and indirect contributions to be a viable candidate for president. But in a country where the Federal Government spends nearly 4 TRILLION dollars, perhaps one shouldn’t be surprised. This is why it is vital that the next president be a strong constitutionalist committed to a smaller goverment. Trump is an archetypal crony capitalist who is committed mostly to a big government that works better.

I've noticed many Cruz supporter are rabid. I can repeat the same back to you. Verbatim.

"They are impolite, crude, abusive, and often dishonest about policy matters. ... their vitriol will be held in check. Right now, I'd have to say that Cruz's Trump's rabid followers are his greatest liability, and that if this worsens they could sink him."

Do want examples?

Even if Cruz did squeak by to a win in Iowa, he's miles behind in all of the Super Tuesday states, and to include the following before and after NH and SC, and to include FL. You think everyone is going to flock over to Cruz even if he did win in Iowa? Not likely.

Did he actually praise it, or just say it was the law of the land?

Based on seeing many of your posts over the past few weeks, I think you are actually delusional.

I am not a pollster, and I am not a psychic or a seer. I have no idea about what the future holds. I only know struggle, effort and work. Victory is never certain, either for you or for me. But that will never deter me.

I also know what I see, and your challenge to me is essentially a demand that I believe you and not my “lying eyes”. I follow these threads, and I see what I see and I call it as I see it. That’s all I can do.

That's a Megachurch in Houston, the type with trendy bands, big screen TVs, and some prosperity gospel sprinkled in for good measure. I've not done any significant research on him in particular, since the video with Ted Cruz and the Dominionists was enough for me.

Be specific? In what way? That I believe that Des Moines Register put out a dishonest poll, or that Trump is going to win because most the polls show he is winning?

I am not a pollster, and I am not a psychic or a seer. I have no idea about what the future holds. I only know struggle, effort and work. Victory is never certain, either for you or for me. But that will never deter me.

You don't have to be psychic to understand that Trump is winning and has been for months.

I also know what I see, and your challenge to me is essentially a demand that I believe you and not my “lying eyes”. I follow these threads, and I see what I see and I call it as I see it. That’s all I can do.

All you have to do is look on this thread to check some Cruz supporters histories that they are rabid followers.

Cruz owes his political existence to the wall street crowd. If you think for one second he is not going to dance to wall street's tune like the past umpteen presidents you are naive.

His wife works for Goldman Sachs and Cruz has already gone on record of supporting TPP. That alone should put a chill down your spine...unless you have no idea what TPP is.

I like Cruz, and know he has a good ground game in Iowa, but in the jargon of the professional pollster, this is bull****. Partisan Media Shills alert.

Hillary fears Trump. Why else would she have her headquarters in Brooklyn?

Hillary picked Brooklyn backed in April. She was trying to be cool.

Trump has went up in all polls, nationally and state-wide, since his Muslim comments. All except Iowa?????? I smell a rat.
