Like Jim Rob, I like Ted Cruz.

I don’t think he’s electable.

The last Texan GOP presidential candidate, barely won against two undistinguished Democrats.

Trump is the only one who could beat Hillary/Bernie.

How could Trump be Hillary with every piece of dirt on him she has? The media has studiously avoided bringing it up. She could get over 65%.

Trump’s unfavorables are HIGHER than Cruz’s. Trump’s likability polls are LOWER than Cruz’s. In a general election, Cruz does better against Hillary than Trump.

Take heart. Vote for the most conservative candidate, AND the most electable. Cruz.

Indeed.

I live in Texas and worked and voted for Cruz to be my Senator. Proud of him.

I like Trump for his anger at Wash DC, the professional politicos and the chattering classes—and his true belief in protecting our borders (my son was a Border Patrol Agent and illegals tried to kill him one night) and stopping the muslime invasion.

I am angry too, and collegiality has its place, like in the Senate chamber, but when this great country has moved so far left that an open socialist is leading in the democrat primary, I’ve had enough.

To me taking your ball home instead of doing something to stop a socialist (for gawd’s sake) or the evil witch from being elected is the ultimate betrayal. Our nation will be lost is we don’t keep the socialist and witch out of the White House, if only because the SCOTUS will be in play this next presidential term. One can argue if Cruz nominations to the SCOTUS would make it through or be “Borked,” and one can argue if Trumps picks will be reliably “conservative” in their votes, but one thing is for certain, with the gutless republicans in the Senate president Bernie or President Hitlery WILL get their reliably socialist/lefty nominees on the court. . .and there will be more than one this next term so the court will be lost for generations and our nation may not survive with internationalists and socialist/activist judges. . .that is my fear.

Further, some days I am more for Cruz, some days more for Trump. The thing is, I’m not sure just yet and threads on the subject are nothing more than insults and petty snipes at those that don’t NOW back their sainted choice.

Threads seem to be all rude bluster and all I want is an honest, unemotional and rational discussion of the candidates and their positions, not yelling and hype, insults (”you must be a XXXXX supporter if you disagree with me”).

Attempts to manipulate or intimidate do not win any backers and reflect poorly on your sainted choice of a candidate, as well as provide aide and comfort, as well as ammunition, to Bernie and Hitlery.

It is well past the time to knock off the circular firing squad and focus on the real enemy—the democrat party.

It is time we rationally discuss the candidates without rancor and with intellectual rigor.

Just me venting. . .
