In a state made for cruz, 70% evangelical, Cruz is providing a very weak showing. If he can’t win here....
that doesn’t mean it isn’t a result that will be disastrous. Stay on topic won’t you?
Cruz 3rd place at the moment
which still doesn’t make you any more correct......or Donald any less of an unreliable liberal.
Go donate to Planned Parenthood and really own your man.
You’re just trying to get your thoughts together, CEW. Help unite this party and come join the winning team.
Hillary's campaign is going to be based solely on "Bush Lied" and the DNC is going to capitalize on Trump's alleged support of the Iraq war.
This was evident on Friday mornings GMA segment when Georgie Stephanopolous aired an interview he had with Trump and challenged Trump on his comments relevant to the Iraq war. When Trump backed off and said he did not support the war and he was on record in stating that, Georgie told him to prove it.....
That's not the type of comment one would expect from an interviewer. But everyone knows that the midget is not a GMA friendly face but rather a hard core DNC operative working for ABC.
As a reminder to all, it was the midget Georgie who set the 2012 narrative that the Republican party was against women's reproductive rights when he blindsided Romney with the question that implied that the Republicans were against women's rights to contraception...........
If I had any advice to give to our party it would be to refuse any interviews with Stephanopolous and boycott ABC completely.........
Rush is onto something here.
Trump was courting the dem vote with the odd statements he’s made lately.
It’s kinda sad that he wasn’t afraid to make them.
He wasn’t afraid of alienating his base.
His base is mostly filled with cultists now and I think he knows it.
An old line but true that he could blow up the WTC and kick a puppy on the way and they would still love him.
So, he’s got that going for him which frees him to reach out to the dems in this open primary.
They’re (dems) not afraid to cross over because their own primary is a sham.
Open primaries should go and the whole primary system should be re-evaluated.
But I’m very encouraged. Trump won but he didn’t walk away with it. Cruz just needs to pick up a few votes here and there from the also-rans and he will beat Trump easily.
What does having ethanol in gasoline have to do with whether the government should subsidize it or not?
Try to think. I know it’s hard for Trump supporters.
That’s exactly the point Ted Cruz made on CNN.
The U.S. should explore all energy alternatives, including ethanol.
But none should be subsidized by the government.
All these people here posting about how they like or don’t like ethanol seem to have forgotten the main point.
We were talking about engine performance
The whole point of the Trump flake out over Iraq was to hurt Jeb Bush by attacking George W. Bush.
It only hurt our party.
So many posts wasted on this site re-fighting that war.
And to no good point.
There will always be people who disagree with its being fought or how it was fought.
The fact is most people agreed at the time.
But what’s the point in even discussing it?
Trumpsters don’t want us to go back even to 2011 to discuss Trump’s policies then.
“Sorry, I was engaged in two different thoughtful, mature discussions with two other Trump supporters in other threads.”
Oh, my gosh. I’m so excited. Stop the presses.
I have never seen that phenomenon. Thoughtful mature discussions from Trump supporters.
Hey, I’ve been here most of this primary cycle and this is big news to me.
I don’t agree. Trump started out in landslide mode.
He’s not there anymore.
He’s still leading but he’s slipping. Ted Cruz has an excellent chance to catch him when the last 3 also-rans drop out.
He won today but he hardly dominated.
If he does win I will vote for him but we still have a chance for a better man.
Good post about free enterprise. It’s been the most successful road to prosperity for all people for many years.
I would reply to you but,unfortunately, you are on my ‘do not reply’ list.
that’s my point exactly.
What does that have to do with subsidizing ethanol.
Never mind. I know thinking is hard.
We were talking about engine performance and plastic. Even mentioned boats and marinas
Put simply, if something makes economic sense you don’t have to force it on people by mandate. They’ll do all by themselves. Unfortunately Trump tends to like forcing people to do things. He’s for expanding the ethanol mandate. He likes the health care mandate. He also was for higher taxes on the wealthy to force them to “invest” in what he thinks is best.
I'd call that pretty dominating. Winning by ten per cent is big. He also won all but three counties, and won with all demographics, including evangelicals and self identified conservatives.
Domination. Like it or not, it's his to win or lose.
Unfortunately, I think the only candidate that could beat him now is not Cruz, but Rubio. His finish tonight was not good for Cruz. Rubio's going to get oodles of cash from the GOPe, he's the only one of them left standing, the only one with standing on the cheap labor express.
You're also understating what a business executive has to do, and what he's accomplished. In that regard, I thought you'd know better. Your own personal business experience should have guided you more.
I get it, you don't like him. There are parts of him I don't like either, but it's not preventing me from seeing his strengths. It's still his to win or lose, and quite honestly, Rubio may be the only contender that could knock him off, not Cruz. Rubio is the last man standing from the cheap labor express, and is going to get muchos dinero from the donors now.
