How many times will this non-story be posted?

Until the low-information NOOB “Let’s go to war against Ted Cruz” faction of Trump supporters wise up and outgrow their stupidity. Most Trump supporters correctly recognize that Cruz and his supporters are in the same war against the Cartel in which Trump is currently engaged.

The problem with Ted Cruz is that however great he is. He comes across as an establishment career politician. That’s all that matters. We don’t want them anymore. That’s how he’s coming across at least. Whether he is or not has yet to be determined to me. Gays donating to his campaign, his vote on the TPA/TPP monstrosity, his willingness to bring in more H1 workers turns me off so hard(I’m in IT). I don’t trust him. He walks like establishment, talks like establishment.

Cruz is the only candidate I can consider voting for. But I doubt whether he can lead our nation, constantly heaping up Wrath in so many areas, to repentance in even one area soon enough.

I've got that same problem.
I don't know if I could support Trump in the GENERAL.
But I DO KNOW that if it ain't TED CRUZ or Trump on the GENERAL ELECTION, I'll vote AGAINST the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" on the General Ballot, and for whomever I think has the BEST CHANGE of DEFEATING the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" on the General Ballot !

I'm just that angry and DISGUSTED with the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" !

I wish hew were not, but he is correct, as are you ...

HOWEVER, that should not be taken to mean we do nothing in response. Civil disobedience is a moral imperative in this matter.

We must resist the plans of the sodomite onslaught, no matter the cost.

So, even while Cruz is correct in his implied priorities, I am fairly certain that he understands we can neither just lie down and allow ourselves to be rolled over by this evil.

Don’t think so. I used to like Cruz. I still like him more than the other nominees minus Trump. He smells like a con to me, there’s just something about him that when he talks I just get a feeling. I could be wrong. Hope he proves me wrong.
