So, you would willing hand this country over to a treasonous criminal psychopath Marxist, rather than take your chances with a man who is not a “perfect” conservative?

From the view of saving this nation from total collapse, your statement is illogical - and definitely not “conservative.”

Ignorance has its limits, but stupidity knows no bounds.

re is no national primary! Cruz will win the evangelical vote! Donald Trump will quite! Did I miss any? ;-)

Rafael Edward Cruz, who was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban/Canadian father, and renounced his Canadian citizenship as late as 2005, is a natural born American, but Barack Hussein Obama, born in Hawaii to an American mother and a Kenyan father, is not.

Do you in your heart of hearts actually believe that Ben Carson is not a political “dead man walking”?

I suppose he could be hanging in there with the hope of grabbing the VP slot, like Kasich.

Yes, I believe they are both in there as potential VPs.

I think Kasich also stays in because, if some establishment candidate sprouts wings, then if Kasich wins Ohio, he can deliver delegates and both block Trump and become an establishment VP.

Trump needs to stay true to himself... we know he’s authentic ... and capable. That’s working...

Excellent! Too bad Trump and Cruz got into a pissing contest, as my favorite ticket all along with Trump/Cruz.

But at this point I’d be thrilled with either of them—and seriously bummed out if Jeb!/Rubio/Kasich squeaked through.

I tell you what I oppose: his amnesty for illegals once they do a touchback visit back to their relatives.

But still, he and Cruz are the best we have.

Carson’s staying power is striking.

(Though he’s guaranteed not to go anywhere and presumably will only stay in as long as the funds come in.)

Anyone who caught Trump's speech last night in Baton Rouge, LA would understand clearly WHY he is climbing in the polls.

He was on fire and the crowd wanted more.

He made some new statements, including telling the crowd he would NOT be leaving the White House for trips constantly as Obama does, because HE ( Trump ) would be busy there most of the time making deals and solving problems.

He even brought up the idea of a second term. Trump is a similar to a fire which CANNOT be contained.

I have not heard him spell out yet what he means by: “The good ones”

Nor has he spelled out what he means by: “let them come back”

The good ones: In my opinion, I would only consider ‘good’ those who have not committed any crimes or taken any welfare/stamps/tax credits. They would be criminals and perpetrators of fraud.

Come back: I would only allow them in for renewable one year worker permits; renewable ONLY from their own country.

Anchor babies: current law says they are US citizens, and no judge I can think of would permit their deportation UNTIL that anchor baby interpretation is removed.

Let’s just say for a moment that you got to pick the most outstanding, most capable, most honorable American.

Who would that be for you?

I’d probably pick Franklin Graham

Surprisingly, a few years back Dr. Ben Carson was on the list of America’s most admired men.

I have always had extremely high regard for Lt General Jerry Boykin

Sander's is breathing down Hillary's neck.

The young people are not going to vote for her.

Avoid supporting Trump = Supporting Hillary Clinton

Pick a side. That’s all that’s on the menu.

Talked with a black family in Georgia just a month ago, and they were in for Sanders.

Did NOT care for Hillary at all. Did not trust her at all.

Called her an ‘old lady honky’.
