MTP doesn’t come on here until 10 my time. I planned on watching him then switching to the Seahawks game.
I suspect I’ll have some thoughts after watching the interview (why he or anyone on the GOP side goes on Lil’ Georgie’s show is beyond me, and I’m sure he didn’t get the softballs that Hillary! got).
I’ve been reading many of the Cruz and Trump threads since the debates. I recognize your name from some of them and you are obviously pro-Cruz (or posting that way) and very anti-Trump. Therefore, I’ll take what you said in your post under consideration, but somewhat with a grain of salt.
It’s interesting to me that most Trump supporters say that they will support Cruz if he ends up being the nominee; however, the Cruz supporters refuse to support Trump and are almost rabid at times. IMHO we should all be in this together and support whomever the Pubbie candidate is (while it’s early, looks like it will be Trump or Cruz)and quit the ugly attacks against the other guy and especially FReepers - it’s just fodder for the Dims and doesn’t promote camaraderie amongst FReepers.
My expoereince with a certain segment of Cruz supporters is they are Religious without actually upstanding Christianity at all. I run into these times my whole life at Church. These people are Satan’s best tools since they alienate and drive away people from Church.
In their world view Cruz is “Holy” and Trump is “evil” there for Trump, and all who support him, must be destroyed at all costs.
That why when you read the anti-Trump articles they read almost like a Leftist website. Long on hyperbolic insults and emotional tirades, short on a reason rational argument against Trump.

This is because Trump’s supporters are former Cruz supporters. As we see in this thread most of Cruz’s remaining supporters are single issue social conservative voters. Trumpers would go back to Cruz but Cruzers will never make the jump because Trump has not pandered to their issue like Cruz has.
Cruz has sadly built up this false hope in his campaign that as POTUS with his pen & phone he will magically enact the social conservative agenda. It just isn’t going to happen. Congress is rotten to the core. Look at Ayotte. Once strong anti-PP and now hiding under her desk. POTUS Cruz isn’t going to change that beltway culture.
It’s only two weeks until the election. Time for a good bash. We need a fighter who can beat the Dems. It was bound to go negative and this is a healthy forging battle here, IMO.
I think that is an unfounded generalization.
I think most Cruz supporters will support Trump if he is nominated ... not sure why you would think otherwise.
In fact, I was almost equally for Trump a month or so ago with Cruz getting the edge.
I don’t like him anymore but I won’t go into the reasons on this thread but I will certainly vote for him.
unfair actually, I never said a unkind word about Trump until the last debate , up until then I defended Trump every step of The way. His attacks on Cruz were just so outrages.
My tagline for the past year read cruz/trump 2016 or bust, I looked forward to Trump rallies, I could not get enough, i hated when the rallies ended.
I loved his ideas for negotiators, not Caroline kennedy etc
China toughness etc, I defended him from basically all attacks, so that is very unfair. Like a cult if you leave you are black balled.
Mark Levin is mud now according to Trump or nothing crowd, I just could not take his (Trumps) outrages attacks
Yep its like a cult here, if you leave the Trump ship you are worthy of all attacks
Trump proved to me since the last debate that he is just to dishonest, his unfair attacks against Cruz are just more than I can take
