IMO, not when the deal maker is one who makes more deals with those destroying this country, than any trying to save it. And not when that deal maker spends more time attacking those wanting to save it, than those trying to destroy it.

I sense you're getting a little emotional trying to address my question. Please, pull back a moment and then explain what you're trying to say.

Thanks.

I dont listen to the polls.

People only say that when their guy is behind.

Which is why Cruz supporters posted today's NBC/WSJ poll a dozen times so far.

Agreed ... I was so hoping Trump and Cruz could just hook up ... We’d have the best of both worlds .... This in fighting really gets me down.

I just listened to Rubio. He talked about the issues of the day, and his opinions and positions on them. I’ve been a bit busy while this is on, but I just started paying attention to Cruz. Oh my, all he is doing is his same old lies about Trump.

How telling.

Cruz is now claiming Trump would advocate a liberal for SCOTUS, see his (Trump’s) support of his sister.


This is a real slimebag talking point. 1) It’s his sister and 2) She’s 78 years old. Obviously he’s not going to appoint her to SCOTUS. Sleazy, sleazy talking point from Pastor Ted here.

Hope Trump wins South Carolina, Nevada and Super Tuesday. And hope to see Trump accepting Rep Nomination in Ohio in July.

Damn straight.

A deal maker who is all bluster, rudeness and insults is not what we need. We need a conservative with firm principles-Cruz

I'd have to say that Trump is more than bluster and insults...he is pretty darn successful, after all.

What we need is a common sense conservative with the real-life and hands-on experience to turn principles into results. And I just don't see that in Cruz. -- What have I missed?

Drug companies have contract with many countries. Some countries get their drugs from the same pharmaceuticals that we do for a lot less. Trump will negotiate with them to get the price for the drugs bat or below the lowest price of any other country. That would save taxpayers 300 billion dollars per year.

And that will put all the drug companies out of business in the US because those prices are what funds their R&D. No more new drugs or cures.

Trump will likely win Florida AND Texas over Trump.

...and so Cruz will likely lose Florida AND Texas to Cruz?

Does Cruz, the smartest man in the galaxy, know that Trump's sister was nominated to the bench in 1983 by Ronald Reagan?

Agree with Rubio on this. Obama has not been our worst POTUS ever because he was a novice in inexperienced. It is all about his ideology and full-speed-ahead determination to fundamentally transform this country. In Cruz and Rubio, I see two candidates, think of them as you may, who love this country, respect its constitution, and have been appalled by the radically fundamental transformation that has taken place in the past 7 years.

We are all angry but I don’t think Trump is the answer. I am thankful to Trump for his refusal to be politically correct but his temperament is erratic.

Sorry, I'm not seeing how adding prescription drugs to the government shopping list is going to save taxpayers any money. Seems to me that taxpayers could save themselves the cost of this by not doing it. $300 billion? How much will the government have to spend on drugs in order to save the taxpayer $300 billion?

(fyi, nationwide total pharmacy sales of prescription drugs is well below $300 billion).

I heard Cruz on both Hanity and Levin today. No need to hear more of his canned talking points again today. He’s fallen off the cliff, IMO. These primary season red meat talking points are a dead end.

Sort of ...you know that same old song Ted croons about Trump with that high pitch tone that sounds more like a whine. But what do I know! ;)

CNN is pushing past their schedule. Cruz will get equal time.
