WASHINGTON -- One year from Wednesday, a new President of the United States will be inaugurated.
A new poll shows Republican Donald Trump leading Ted Cruz two-to-one in New Hampshire, less than three weeks before the primary.
Sarah Palin's endorsement helps Trump deflect attacks from Cruz over Trump's conservative credentials. But the candidates differ on several issues, including taxes, government surveillance and immigration. (Click Link for Balance of Article)

Accurate transcription. And you are correct of course that suspending the Bill has precedent. Question is, what does that look like in 2017?
Agree
You did not answer the question, but I understand why.
I understand your passion, but no, Cruz is the logical choice:
1. Trump loses in all polls against any Democrat. Any other Republican, including Cruz, wins.
2. Trump is a lifetime liberal. He continues to support liberal causes like single-payer federal mandated health insurance, the theft of private property by governments to give to developers, gay marriage, and the like.
It’s not remotely logical for a conservative to support Trump just because he’s suddenly saying the right things.
The fact that RINOS are lining up behind Trump (really against Cruz) tells you all you need to know.
Quotes mean those were his actual words.
Many Trump supporters don’t listen to his actual words. Single Payer, for instance. He has said it repeatedly but they never address it.
Immediately after baby parts scandal he came out in support of PP. He had to walk it back when someone explained that’s not what Conservatives want to hear.
What kind of judges will he go for? Oy! I fear to think.
We really are. I’m just shocked at the stupidity.
But then again, most people are stupid and want to be led.
Abraham Lincoln, had to infringe on the Bill of Rights to win the US Civil War. Reagan had to cut all sorts of deals with Democrats in order to advance his agenda.
Real world problems, as opposed to the fantasy bubble world purists live in, are not black and white.
We all ready have a ideologically rigid arrogantly inflexible President in 0. I have no desire to replace him with a different one just with the same mindset just because he happens to mouth the correct slogans and talking points on the campaign trail
It wasn’t half his campaign funds and he reported them in July of 2012— well before he won election.
Ted is endorsed by the lion's share of Tea Party folks. Ted IS TEA Party.
I for one, am interested in stopping and reversing the country’s slide into Leftist tyranny. I want someone who has demonstrated he can actually get the Leftist forces to change their behavior, even if only temporarily.
Donald Trump has gotten the news media to do what he wants. What other political figure gets to call in to any show he wants, when he wants to do it? Who else could get them to shorten a debate from three hours to two hours?
Now Donald Trump is getting the GOPee to think about getting on board the Trump Train, and this is viewed as a bad thing?
So I am looking for “fruits,” as Senator Cruz has asked us to do. My email inbox, and mailbox is full of Cruz fruits, and they are business as usual fruits. Dollar bills in funding pitches, frantic emails from the candidate’s wife, paid solicitors on the phone. All the hallmarks of a person who is planning to live off the public for the rest of his life.
Then I find out that when he said that he was liquidating all his savings to run for the Senate, he meant that he was getting loans from Goldman Sacks and Citibank to run for the Senate. And that the Citibank loan is probably a signature loan, and, if so, illegal for use in funding a Federal Election Campaign.
Now Donald Trump sends me one email a week to keep me informed of what he is doing. He has leveraged my small contribution into millions of dollars of paid-for-by-the-media advertising. He never asks for money, and I never get frantic emails from Melania Trump.
I have known what Donald Trump thinks about things for the past 30 years, because he has a written record. He really hasn’t changed his views on the country and what needs to happen. He has just gotten better at getting things done and identifying what is important and what is not.
It looks wrong in any year. I promise Donald Trump is not wiser than the founders even though he’s really really really smart.
Further, a man who thinks like this will appoint what kind of judges? Maybe Like his liberal baby-killing judge sister. You know, the one he praises.
I propose a new entry into the FR Lexicon. It is called “SIC” for Single Issue Conservative. A single issue Conservative is someone who only cares about his or her personal agenda item.
You keep repeating that “signature loan” lie often enough, maybe it will come true for you.
Show me the loan document so I can tell for sure.
But you do acknowledge that “taking out loans” is not the same as “selling my savings”, don’t you?
I think it’s splitting hairs.
Yes, and he was “buying favor” out of greed to expand his business which is dishonest but he said “I had to”.
No, he could have been honest and less wealthy, but no matter.
He says “Single Payer” and with this legislature he can get it. No matter. That’s fine. We “Conservatives” don’t care. We
just want to be angry.
Splitting hairs? It was a lie! However, the current market crash may turn it into reality when Teddy gets a margin call.
lol. You see, it’s sadly funny.
Trump can lob foolishness and if you respond you’re
“splitting hairs”.
They have an answer for everything, even if it makes no sense.
I assume you mean the solutions are not black and white? It seems to me that any problem must be presented in clear black and white terms.
I ask because I am interested in discussing this further.
