August 28, 2015. Give me a break.
The problem is he sounded like the radical left on stage Saturday. He spouted democrat talking points. He is a democrat in disguise. Can you imagine the supreme court appointments he would make. He’s talking about his sister in law. Give me a break.
I hope you can understand the incongruity in those two statements when printed together. I do understand Trump's appeal. I went from a Trump doubter to a Trump supporter when he first appeared on the scene. I later became turned off by his whining, crying, and incoherent positions. (Some of) his goals are great. Given that he often takes both sides of many issues, and your own conclusion that he will likely fail in keeping his promises, I simply cannot support him for the nomination.
This is not a joke.
I think Chuck Norris should run. He believes in the Constitution, he’s a Christian God fearing man. He says the most important job in the world is being a father. I can respect that.
I don’t know much else, but that would be a better pick than what is offered.
Yeah, Chuck could be a good choice. If we are talking other conservative actors, Clint Eastwood would be up there.
and that is where the story ends. The Dems will throw a daily hissy fit, but it's already over.
Did you despise Sen. Cruz when he stood there for 21 hours trying to defund Obamacare? Should he not have bothered since he was up against a behemoth of opposition? Well, he didn’t lose that battle, the American people did by not calling or showing up at the Senate or senate offices in enough numbers to scare those who could’ve made the difference. We blew it, not Cruz or his associates. They did their job and I respect that, despite the outcome.
This would sure help make your articles more readable by

” Senator Ted Cruz promises to filibuster any nominee President Obama puts forward. “
And if that doesn’t work he will send a shaming letter to each Democrat Senator. :-)
No and I don’t despise him now
But his ‘promise’ of a filibuster means NOTHING. Perhaps you don’t remember the days when a filibuster would go on and on and on until someone broke. 21 hrs was a drop in the bucket
The longest filibuster was Strom Thurmond at 24 hours and 18 minutes. Cruz’s 21 hours and 19 minute filibuster is more than just a drop in the bucket compared to that.
From what I’ve read about filibusters, they rarely stop what they’re opposing.
That’s the point
I honestly can't think of a single issue that I care about that has gotten better in over 30 years. I am simply not impressed when a candidate says he'll make sure things don't get worse. Best case scenario a perfect record and in 8 years the reversal resumes.
We knew that filibuster wasn’t going to go anywhere when Cruz and Lee stepped up, because we had (and still have) an overabundance of status quo idiots and weasels in DC.
The point was, he was doing what he promised the voters of Texas he would do, stand up to the Washington elites, defend the Constitution. No one else dared.
He was cheered back then on this forum. Now everyone parrots, like it’s a bad thing, that his colleagues don’t like him. Back then, that right there was a badge of honor.
“AND McConnell said”
And you trust him?
“And you trust him?”
Nope. Not in the least.
