Trump saying his sister would make a good SCJ is indicative what he thinks is good!! It doesn’t matter that it’s his sister, or she’s 78, or whatever...what matters is his perception of acceptable.

That, to me, is hugely (YUGELY) unacceptable.

Bravado is not ‘brave’ and bluster is not strength.

Trump is neither brave nor strong. He is pathologically insecure and compensatory.

"Everyone I talk to" is not evidence.

Florida polling contradicts you.

Cruz is so refreshing. He showed a side of his personality last night that we never see. I seriously believe he will make a great president and no one else comes close

....”Cruz is so refreshing. He showed a side of his personality last night that we never see. I seriously believe he will make a great president and no one else comes close.”.......

For sure.....Cruz impressed me greatly when I first listened to him before he announced...and has done so since. We are very fortunate to have such a man as a candidate and one who has stood for all the issues significant to this country and it’s people....I couldn’t be prouder to support him!

Cruz lied about Trump’s sister.......He neglected to say that President Ronald Reagan nominated her to the federal judgeship. What a sleeze. Of course after Reagan thought she did a great job, Clinton also nominated her.

I caught that too. Can't believe Cruz told that audience "she was appointed by a liberal," while omitting the fact that Reagan appointed her before Clinton.

Wow.

Cruz is a slimy lawyer and politicians who will do anything to win....lie, cheat, steal.....he’s done it all. I am thankful the supermajority of American voters realize this. Only on Free Republic do I ever see anyone supporting the immoral Cruz (which is ok since they are a small part of the electorate).

There was a time a couple months ago that I wouldn't have believed it either. Now it doesn't surprise me at all and in fact I now expect it.

Oh!   (He even sings like a Canadian!)    :-)

(By the way, after I posted that "I'm A Teddy Boy" youtube song link to you, I watched it again all the way through, and I noticed at the end of the video, it had some "obscene gestures" which I hadn't seen before when I posted the song.   That was not intentional on my part, and I apologize for posting it, or at least not providing a strong "warning" notice about the end of the video.   Please forgive me.)

After Saturday, he'll be singing "I'm A Loser".

>>Trump is neither brave nor strong. He is pathologically insecure and compensatory.

A quick bio review will confirm the depth and breadth of Mr. Trump’s stellar, outstanding qualities.

He has demonstrated this time and again by willingly taking on projects that whole governments could not accomplish (ex. NY skating rink, etc).

He is profoundly blessed by God. And now, he is selflessly setting aside his personal wealth, time with his family, etc., and willingly enduring the jeers, sneers, and attempts to demean and degrade him.

Why? He sees what has happened to the country he grew up in, the country for which he holds deep loyalty. He offers his God-given talents to do what he can for his country, so that when it is all said and done, he can look his children and grandchildren in the eye and say: “I did what I could. I gave it all that I had, to try to bring back our country’s liberties for you and your children to enjoy.”

I don’t know about others, but I’m not sure I would have that same courage, strength, and unwavering determination.
And for that, Mr. Trump has my undying gratitude.

Thank you, God, for creating this amazing human being, and guiding, directing, using him for Your Will.

Cruz......you begin with who nominated first. You guys are protecting a criminal. It is disgusting. Cruz should have been Scalia.....Scalia deserved to live.

I know Trumps history, and like most men, he has his good points and bad. I know very well about the ice rink in New York.

I also know about the casinos in Atlantic City.

In any event, my comment was not about his achievements, it was about his character of mind.

I pray that he is unable to bamboozle a majority of our countrymen and women into supporting him.

Wow. I mean, I knew you goons didn’t like Cruz, but to want him DEAD? Really?

I don’t like Donald Trump, but I certainly don’t want him dead.

You are a disgusting and vile human to even think as much.
