Interesting story on our families TX vote this primary.

As may of you may know, I have been way in for Cruz even when I helped with his 2012 senatorial campaign here in Texas.

My lovely spouse however has been wavering for months between Cruz and Trump., and at last had settled on Trump. Sadly, I thought our votes were canceling out

I voted early Thursday, but the procrastinator she is, she waited until 7:00 p.m. tonight to vote.

When i asked her how it went she said she voted for Cruz, due to her final thoughts going into the booth of the vulgar and personal attacks on Megyn Kelly and Carly Fiorina.

Her comment? No gentlemen would ever speak to a lady like that.

The GOPe has backed Cruz from the beginning...

How you figure? Cruz is hated by the GOPe and the Democrats.

The $69,000 from Goldman is one of the largest sums employees from the Wall Street firm have donated to a single candidate during the last few years. The firm has given money to well over 100 candidates since 2012, but only six got more from Goldman than Cruz — and two of them were Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Heidi Cruz, the candidate’s wife, manages investments for wealthy clients at Goldman’s Houston office, so personal connections may have helped raise the money. (Heidi Cruz announced she’ll be taking a leave of absence from Goldman during her husband’s campaign.)

From here
and here

This Club for Growth is Ted Cruz's largest donor

Club For Growth only supports candidates who support their “open borders”/ “globalist” objectives: ♦ Amnesty ♦ Comprehensive Immigration Reform ♦ Trans-Pacific Trade Deal

Their current favored candidates are Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. From September 1st through September 30th Club For Growth spent $3.3 Million on attack ads against Donald Trump. FEC Filing:

Ted may be a Constitutionalist but he is also a GOPe globalist of the highest order...

Club for Growth supports a lot of conservative causes. According to its website, the Club for Growth’s policy goals include cutting income tax rates, repealing the estate tax, supporting limited government and a balanced budget amendment, entitlement reform, free trade, tort reform, school choice, and deregulation.[1] The Club for Growth PAC endorses and raises money for candidates who meet its standards for fiscal conservatism. According to Politico, “The Club for Growth is the pre-eminent institution promoting Republican adherence to a free-market, free-trade, anti-regulation agenda.

By “Free market” does that mean they’re fine with manufacturing and jobs all going to other countries?

And how are they on an open border and mass immigration including illegals?

I think they are very bad on the above.

Best quote of the night, bar-none:

"We can nominate a Washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has a lifelong pattern of using government power for personal gain. Or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women and to defend the Constitution." -Senator Cruz

Why should we believe Cruz would effectively defend and protect the Constitution as President when he has not been able to overcome Washington inertia as a Senator, as opposed to Trump who has been able to derail that inertia just RUNNING for office?

Been around twice as long as you. Love it when the noob label is thrown around as if its some kind of insult. In this case I’ll define it as common sense.

Congradulations to Cruz for keeping Texas and picking up Oklahoma, Arkansas & Alaska!

From a Trump supporter.

 

I think the final take away from last night is this.

THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT IS TOAST

The two guys they hate the most is Trump & Cruz, they put all their eggs in Jeb and he failed, then they moved to Rubio and the best he can do is Minnesota.

 

This race is all about the delegate count so lets take a look.

 

  1. TRUMP: 285

  2. CRUZ: 161

  3. RUBIO: 87

 

Cruz has twice as many as Rubio, and Trump has twice as many as Cruz.

What I take away from last night is this. Cruz should stay in the race and Rubio needs to pack his bags. I doubt Rubio will drop out until he loses Florida, same with Kasich and Ohio. But there is no path for the Establishment.

 

I understand Cruz and Trump will continue to battle, but I hope they can mend their fences before the convention becasue I sense the GOPe will start playing games, and if they do they WILL try to squeeze out both Trump & Cruz.

"Cruz isn't going to endorse Rubio."

Cruz already said he'd rather see Rubio than Trump get the nomination.

"The candidate's delegates are bound to him thru the first ballot -- they cannot be directed otherwise. After that, they are released and can act on their own."

Exactly. And who do you think they'll break for on the second ballot?

Rubio plans to go the distance and he’ll get funded from a number of establishment backers.

Winning your home State.... is nothing to brag about.

That should be an automatic!

The other two States Oklahoma and Alaska are almost dead even on the Delegate split.

Cruz lost in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas and Virginia.

You can spin it all you want, but it was not a great night.

Winning your home State is nothing to brag about. It’s like when Trump will win New York over Cruz.

That’s expected.
