Cruz has an awful ad using kids to bash Trump

If this guy represents Christian ethics there needs to be a reformation.

Ted Millhouse Cruz is SLIMEY. What has he accomplished in the Senate?

Rush, I listened to you for over 20 years, NO LONGER YOU ARE UNMASKED. Rush said Amnesty Pimp Rubio is a conservative HA?

Cruz is all over the place on Amnesty, just look at the Bret Bair interview where Cruz could square his actions with his rhetoric on Amnesty.

Yeah, let’s settle for second best, b/c Ted can’t win. Just like all the experts told us that REAGAN could not win, and Juan and Milt COULD!

You make my point. The only way for Cruz to be effective is continue his authoritarian ways like a dictator.

Cruz’s fatal flaw is he won’t be able to build an effective team. He’s never done that. Ted’s an obstructionist. In contrast you cannot sign paychecks for 30,000 people in a 10+ billion company with out team building skills.

The idea team or consensus building means “caving in” is false. Trump will lead the democrats by their nose rings to do what he wants them to do just like he does the media. That is called leadership. It’s something we haven’t seem for so long most don’t recognize it fore what it is. That is not Trump’s fault.

Well, well, well the mouthpiece for the R wing of the uniparty calling Cruz the new Reagan certainly lets the cat of of the bag.

Cruz is acceptable to the GOPe, Trump is not. Another reason to vote Trump, screw the R wing of the uniparty.

Oh please. What an astounding insult to Reagan. If Cruz is the “closest” then it is time to pack it in.

To paraphrase gladiator: YOU know Reagan?! No, he only touched me on the shoulder.

But I can’t help being a little jealous...

I met Reagan once.... Cruz is no Reagan

Cruz is a lot closer to Reagan than that spoiled brat cry baby Trump who keeps sucking up to KGB/FSB Putin.

Ronald Reagan: "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Donald Trump: Vladimir Putin's praise is 'a great honor'...It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond ,"

The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they FUND THEM or NATIONALIZE them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."

Russia Ramping Up Military Drills to Cold War Levels, NATO Says

Feb 5, 2016 - FoxNews.com

Russia has stepped up its military maneuvers to a level unseen since the height of the Cold War, according to a new report released by NATO Thursday.

Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance's secretary general and author of the report, noted that Moscow has conducted at least 18 large-scale exercises over the past three years, "some of which have involved more than 100,000 troops."

Those exercises included several simulated nuclear attacks against NATO allies and partner nations ..."

Rush said Rubio is a true conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan. Sorry but that is what he said a few days ago.

I agree with someone's post that said the met Reagan once and Cruz is no Reagan.

Reagan had charm. Reagan, while maybe distrusted on certain issues wasn't disliked. Reagan could lead. Reagan would compromise. And yes, Reagan could hold his ground.

Other than holding his ground, Cruz display none of the other characteristics.

If Ted’s apologetics for freedom can’t beat the criminal or the nut, America is finished. I’d rather know now. ANY GOP nominee will be mocked. Don’t settle for a man who will nominate liberals to our courts, Donald Trump. He has been such a phony with his family Bible and vicious attacks on former “great people” and “friends”.

Actually, BOTH are hated by the GOPe. It can in fact be argued that Trump would be more acceptable.

I may be alone here but I don’t listen for what drips from Rush’s lips every day. I think he’s entertaining and certainly thought-provoking but I’m not a devotee. I don’t look to him to help me make up my mind about anything. Actually, there is no media figure that I blindly follow.

I listen, take what he says as his opinion and that’s it. I think of Rush like I think of fellow Freepers. He has no further power than that in my life.

Many people are easily duped. The left never settles for someone conservatives insist is “acceptable”, but GOPers are more malleable.

Yea but Rush never endorses anyone in the primaries...unless he's getting desperate.

To compare anyone, especially Ted Cruz to RR is sacrilege.

RE: Rush said Rubio is a true conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan.

Other than immigration ( which in fact, we can argue that his support of a path to legalization is SIMILAR to Reagan’s ), Can you show us in what way he differes from Reagan on the issues?
