Cruz still supports that increase.

Trump is stronger on immigration than Cruz which is my hot button issue. Most of their other positions are similar. I'm also concerned that Cruz is a weaker candidate in the general. Is that too hard to understand?

Yes. It is, apparently.

I think that one of the big issues is that many Cruz followers are getting angry and desperate because Cruz just doesn't seem to be gaining national traction like they assumed would happen and blame Trump for it.

Meanwhile, I think that Trump's followers have started to engage in personal attacks. I think that they were the second camp to do so, not the first, but it's turning into a big flame war now.

To keep peace, I think that the only real thing to do is to explain calmly that you are a single-issue voter, why you're a single-issue voter or at least why it's so important for you, and why you think that Trump is the better candidate for that reason. (Or Cruz, if you're on the other side.)

I've found that it usually dries up at least SOME rancor, though don't quote me on that.

THANK YOU!! I see no need to put down either Trump or Cruz. We just may end up with both of them and either one will make a great President!

I totally agree.

*Shrug*

From my POV, it happened other way around. In my experience, there were about 10-20 very loud, very angry people who claimed to support Cruz, who constantly trashed everyone who said anything positive at all about Trump, and not just in the sense of policy, but really ugly personal contempt. I was the personal target of a couple of them, and that was back when I was a 100% Cruz supporter.

I don’t know about the Trump supporters, at least not all of them, but I know that at least a few of them are lashing back at Cruz because those people who claimed to support Cruz finally pissed them off.

I wish all of FR could like and support both men (and hope that both men are worthy of our support), but it either A: seems not to be, or B: we are the victim of deep-cover liberals who are trying to spread discord among us.

Besides, the two of them as a strong first and a strong second like this is pretty much the best way that the race could go, because it locks the establishment pretty much completely out of the race.

Cruz refuses to lay a glove on Hillary or Bill.

* * *

I think the proper statement is probably: “Cruz refuses to lay a glove on Hillary or Bill. . . yet.”

I think Cruz is being so nicey-nice to Trump because he’s letting Trump say all the stuff we’re all thinking, while Cruz remains neatly out of the muck. (Remember, there’s a large contingent of the general public that doesn’t know what we all know, and thinks that simply saying the sordid truth about Hillary et al is “raking muck” and throwing unfounded mud. So Cruz, understanding that, doesn’t want those uninformed people to think he’s throwing mud where none is warranted.)

I think that when Trump is out of the way — or else, has chosen Cruz as his VP — we will hear a different tune from Cruz. I think he’ll be right in there with his scalpel then, giving us chapter and verse on Hillary, with footnotes. But in the meantime, he waits . . . “drafting” on Trump like one racehorse on another.

“Good for Cruz for calling out Marco on his lies.”

So true. Marco Rubio is slick. Even I believed him until I finally caught on. While I didn’t support Rubio, because of his immigration stance, I thought he was at least honest. Boy was I wrong.

With very few exceptions, it appears that many politicians campaigning for Federal office are wanting to win the promise of unbridled and unlimited sexual encounters.

When did we come to this debauchery?

Please note that the “voting public” cares more about Bill’s peccadilloes than Hellary’s performance in government office.

Case-in-point?; what are the Neilson/Arbitron ratings for “COPS” during BClinton’s regime?

They are eligible

And we’ll have to wait for Hillary but she used it against Obama so why not Cruz or rubio?

There is no current law that I know of that makes Cruz eligible. Rubio gets in as an anchor baby.

Marco Rubio is a de facto Citizen only due to a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment. Natural born Citizenship derives from Natural Law and requires birth in the country to Citizen parents (plural).

Marco Rubio is the son of two Cuban foreign nationals and is NOT a natural born Citizen.

Let’s see Cruz stopped the Rubio Schumer Amnesty Bill, he was the leader and showed up the GOPe on Obamacare and provoked Obama into shutting down the government.

What has Trump actually done?

And your saying that his support of Amnesty in the past 2 years and support of a “Canadian” style healthcare system is just being Flexable? Really?

Good thing he isn’t passing out some of J Jones koolaid ..... You would be first in line.

"Sure...he led the battle against Rubio/Schumer Amnesty/Open Borders bill and that's wobbly"

Revisionist history. Immigration reform passed in the Senate where Cruz is a member. It was going to pass in the House too until David Brat a complete unknown defeated Eric Cantor in the primary. David Brat ran on one issue amnesty. The House "got" the message and amnesty was voted down.

I’m a Trump-eteer myself, but I also like Cruz because he’s for safe borders.

One reason is that Trump knows how to beat Hillary like a drum. Cruz is critical of going after her. She’s target-rich, and she personally profited from her husband’s corruption. So what kind of nitwit consultants is Cruz agreeing with?

The other reason is that Trump is rallying us. We are under attack by islamo-terrorists, and we need the most Pattonesque leader we can find to compensate for eight years of Obama [aka 0, aka Zero].
