Like I said, you're a moron. Cruz is a lawyer. Lawyers work in court rooms. Courts rooms are run by the government. In your little Trump worshiping world anybody that works around or for the government is a 'career politician'. I guess a fighter pilot for the Navy is also a career politician because he works for the government.

Cruz is a solid conservative. A constitutionalist. An unapologetic Christian. A brilliant man that doesn't remind everybody of it every time he gets in front of a microphone.

What are you gonna do when Trump can't make the Mexicans build and pay for a border fence? What are you gonna do when Trump doesn't do anything about immigration? What are you going to do when Trump increases federal spending and taxes? What are you going to do when Trump resigns after two years because he gets bored with trying to endlessly work with real career politicians and the enormous bureaucracy that he can't simply pay off with his money?

Trump, who says he can't be bought, has spent a lifetime buying people, which doesn't make him any better.

Go ahead and waste your vote on this loud mouth, self promoting yankee.
