I like Cruz AND Trump. I’m voting for Trump in my primary, but if Cruz ends up on the general election ballot, I will vote for him. I’d prefer these two work out their issues between them instead of their supporters on each side turn into arguing monsters that turn off others who might be with some candidate now that won’t make it through.
My enemy is the GOPe, even over Democrats. That means Jeb Bush, Kasich and Christie, IMO. I’ll add Rubio to the enemy list because I think he’s a sweating lying little Amnesty snake. I want all of these losers buried so deep in the contest they can’t come up for air. I think Cruz and Trump can do it and in the end we can all sit back and really start contemplating what we want and just plain vote like it was originally meant to be.
And with whoever of the two that gets the nomination, we all jump on board and fight and campaign for them like demons run amok to kill off Hillary’s chance of ever getting power again.
“I don’t believe a ban on Muslim immigrants would ever pass Congress nor do I think it’s practical (How would you realistically implement it?),”

what an idiot.

I agree that THAT is an idiotic statement by someone IGNORANT of the facts. Trump (or Cruz) would NOT NEED LEGISLATION to ban/suspend Muslim immigration-—the Commander-in-Chief already has been given that power by Congress in a law that was passed long ago but, fortunately, still is in effect.
As history unfurls, I would hope that Trump or Cruz would make such a ban PERMANENT until Muslims “reform” Islam-—which is an impossibility in my (well-informed) opinion.
The federal Immigration and Nationality Act reads as follows:
“Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he deems necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens.â€
While it is true the Act doesn’t specifically say he can’t ban a religion, do you really think such an attempt would stand up in court?
Remember the last election, when it didn’t go his way, Obama decided to count the votes of the people that DIDN’T vote? Heads he wins. Tails we lose.
And this fool author can’t fathom how we would keep out people who have to travel by ship and plane to get here. That’s such pre-Trumpian thinking. Or lack of thinking shall we say.
This should be good, thanks for the alert.
If we nominate Cruz you are skiing uphill with a wildly unpopular canadian senator strapped to your back.
this is the third or fourth variation of this story ive heard in the last 24 hours....i smell coordination

LOL — I smell paranoia.

‘He could promise to nominate Hillary for the Supreme Court and they’ll still vote for him because he said he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.’
Don’t quit your day job.
‘With his sophomoric, idiotic behavior, Trump has been all but begging his supporters to stop pulling for him.’
Weird, huh? [I’ll explain why in a minute.]

You obviously aren't reading what "most Trump supporters" are writing in favor of your own narrative.
“Any class of alien.”
That’s true, but banning those of a specific religion will venture into prickly legal ground. I highly doubt that would stand up in court, especially with the leftist schlubs inflicted upon us by this current regime.
The ‘Muslim Ban’ was the tipping point.
We all looked for fearless patriotism — Trump demonstrated it better than anyone else.
America FIRST.
Simple as that.
And trade.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If we did not have Trump we would be stuck with Bush and fighting a battle we would not win.
Fake Former Trump supporter.
Yup.
Very true. That doesn't speak to banning those of a specific religion. The phrase "class of alien" will have to pass a legal test, and seriously... do you think the courts as they are in this country will allow that to pass?
‘That’s true, but banning those of a specific religion will venture into prickly legal ground.’
The only rights non-citizens have are based on international law.
It’s been widely reported that Jimmy Carter banned Iranians. Was it on religious grounds? Or did my memory fail me?
Well, I salute your optimism. Don’t forget what comprises the current SCOTUS.
