There will be more. :)
Sessions yes, Cruz no. I don’t trust Trump, I think he is just on any topic that suits his interest. He moves all over the place. I think Rubio learned from his mistake. The political and legal ramifications of rounding up 12 million illegals is not going to happen. Yes, measures to help them self deport are possible, all of which Marco Rubio supports. Cruz was the author of George W. Bush’s amnesty plan. He was for it before he was against it. I would gladly support Cruz if he is the Republican nominee, but I just don’t think he can get the support of those he needs to get elected.
Open borders talking point #1. Your boy Rube was exposed today by Breitbart as agreeing with Obama's executive amnesty. He's open borders all the way.
Is that libbylu? ;)
So. Trump it is.
Um, Cruz was in fourth and fifth, as was noted in many threads. How does he “drop” to third from fourth, and after gaining three points and Trump dropping two?
He won’t have to after S.C. and Nevada either....the South will take care of Rubio. Can Cruz recover though...that is the question.
I've already got a pizza bet out there that Trump will win NH (yes, I'm a Cruzer, but I couldn't pass up that slam-dunk when he posted it, LOL)... would you like to bet a twenty on that? If I win, you donate twenty to the Freepathon or to Cruz, and if you win (Cruz doesnt exceed 15.00 percent), I'll donate to the Freepathon or the candidate of your choice. Deal?
Easily. The race is to 1237. The entire month of FEB only offers 127 delegates. On March 1, Texas alone has 155, and one poll had Cruz winning TX at 45-30.
I posted the predicted outcomes if all of the first 16 states came out exactly a their current polling suggested, with Trump ahead in 13 of the 15 remaining contests... that would make it 253-209, Trump over Cruz, one third of the way through the states. That's still a fight. Cruz has zero reason to drop out for a long time, even losing every state but Texas. (Marco takes MN at the moment)
And he will be seen as “growing” and “evolving” in the eyes of the main streamers as he “reaches out” across the aisle in his attempt to “diversify” the party with Somali votes.
If that happens and Trump is the only other option....I like what he has done stirring the pot...well, we can't stay home this time.
We just can't.
