Ted Cruz needs you to trust him.
Trust is the cornerstone of this fiery conservative's campaign, which may live or die with his ability to convince voters in Iowa and across the nation that he's the most consistent and trustworthy among the pack of White House hopefuls.
Yet as he strives for victory in Iowa's Monday caucuses, a chorus of Republican critics led by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is tearing at the fabric of Cruz's message.

In debates, TV ads and on the campaign trail, fellow Republicans are highlighting inconsistencies in Cruz's policies on immigration, foreign policy and even his dedication to Christian conservative values.

Oh My bad, I misunderstood, tx for clearing that up.

I am not dumb enough to publish what arms I have on the net, even in an anonymous forum.
Show me anywhere, in any quote (not the voices in your head) where Trump simply wants to pay for healthcare for those who 'don't have it' - please.
You say you are conversant in several languages, so I gather English isn't your primary. I suggest you actually dig into the context of what you read rather than cut and paste something that you feel makes Trump look bad.
The 'red diaper' reference bespeaks of "The Clouds" but lacks a complete image so necessary in such humor.
The voting percentages were all phonied up.
Where you been? Thru all the years of weapons discussion, favorites, recommendations, whose got what and which one is best for certain situations?
Let's just see where this goes. There was something supposedly up in January but never materialized.
I was NRA distinguished rifleman smallbore when I was 12. Love firearms. Even though whatever I may or may not have are family, sentimental hunting items, I don’t want a connected IP address used for a collection of same.
If they are foolish enough to try to get all the firearms they will not use the archaic methods of the Gestapo. They will pass the law then give the citizens a final date to turn them in with the refusal penalties being 10 grand per weapon fine with 5 years per weapon jail time which will be mandatory.
