Jane - it’s on the Cruz website. They are bragging about the Bush financial team joining with them.

It seems to me that the Vice President is the President of the Senate. The fact that they’ve worked around that fact in recent times doesn’t change the fact that it is the constitutional reality. That will be Sessions’ biggest role when he becomes VP, because it’s a control mechanism against the expected hostility in the senate against a Trump presidency.
Perfect press secretary. But it may be a bit beneath him. Labor?
Ha! Good one! ;)
WOW! Thanks!
Thanks, that’s what I thought. Great that Trump is getting a head start, awesome pick with Sessions.
I think they are a lot more here than the Trump supporters realize. I know two people that are Trump supporters. The one that is the loudest supporter isn’t even registered to vote. In my area of Northeast Louisiana I’ve seen only one Trump sign. I’ve seen tons of Cruz signs.

That somehow doesn’t surprise me. They probably wanted to go with Rubio, but he’s only won 1 state so far in the primaries and just cancelled his rallies in LA and Kentucky.
He’s not polling well in FL and I think he’ll be spending a lot of time there the next week to try to save face in his home state.
Big cheers for all but especially Rubio an Kasich.
So good to read your post and I do agree completely with everything you say. I already voted for Cruz in the SC primary, yet feel exactly as you. If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him over any Democrat, on my life! Many things about Trump rub me the wrong way, but I do appreciate him sticking it to the GOPe. They have so failed us. Hard to even recognize our country any more. Trust me, you are not alone in how you feel. I hope your husband comes around. I have my doubts about Trump, but I’m so sick of the elites, their cronies and nepotism in WDC and how they have failed us. We do need to get our country back. If not Cruz (and I’ve my doubts about him, too, even though I already voted for him), then we must consider getting behind Trump, should he manage to secure the nomination.

Reagan Gets Bill
Easing Abortion
In California
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
—The California Assembly has
passed and sent to Gov. Ronald
Reagan, a bill easing the state’s
abortion law — unchanged in 95
years.
Reagan said the bill was “by
no means perfect” and would
have to be watched closely to
prevent California from becoming
an abortion haven. But he
said he would sign it despite his
doubts about some possible
“loopholes”.
“I am fully sympathetic with
attempts to liberalize the outdated
abortion law now on the
law books of California.” the
freshman Republican governor
said.
The bipartisan vote Tuesday
and Reagan’s pledge climaxed
the most controversial and emotional
debate so far in the 1967
legislative session.
Colorado and North Carolina
have passed similar laws earlier
this year and both now are
in effect. Colorado’s previous
statute was nearly a century old
and North Carolina’s dated back
to 1868.
The bill, sponsored by Sen.
Anthony C. Beilenson, a Beverly
Hills Democrat, would permit
abortions before the 20th week
of pregnancy if:
—The prospective mothers’s
physical or mental health is in
danger.
—The pregnancy resulted
from incest or forcible rape, or
statutory rape in the case of a
girl 14 years old or younger.
The old law permits abortions
only if the life of the prospective
mother is endangered.

Cruz has a lot of good qualities. He’s young and can learn from this run.
Levin caller that was a strong Cruz supporter just now was saying that a lot of his people are talking Trump now. Mittens might just have put Trump over the top.

Here is partial list of my concerns, which has not changed since NOV (guess the KoolAid hasn't made it to my place yet):
++ He seems to have been socially liberal in the recent past...
++ Trump is an opportunist, in the dictionary definition of the term. (I'd bet that even he would accept that assessment. Opportunism means keeping your eye open for a good business deal, basically. Here, he sees the Battered Wife Syndrome that we Conservatives have, thanks to the GOP over the last 18 years, and he correctly surmises that he could ride that, along with the 'yuge' anti-establishment wave in both parties, into the most important chair on earth. That is too big to pass up, even if he isn't Conservative. By pretending to be, he can win eternal fame, and much more... so with nothing in his past political stands to judge by, we could all simply be getting duped once again...
++ His motivation seems to be to serve his ego, rather than to serve the Constitution...
++ He is eager to use Obama's pen-and-phone approach, and after his second term, we will have an entire generation that has never known a President to be limited by the Constitution. This matters to me greatly...
++ Having two NYC candidates leaves the rest of the nation left out of the picture. I was born there and can attest to the fact that the idea that NYC is the center of the universe is already far too prevalent there...
++ Nationalism and voting by emotion often leads to bad results historically...
++ His long list of shocking verbal statements and "jokes"...
++ Starts a bad precedent of electing celebrities/wealthy (both of whom tend to be clueless outside of their specialty...
++ His habit of commenting on every woman's appearance (positive if she has been kind to him recently, negatively if she hasn't) isn't very Presidential...
++ His devoted fans cannot seem to allow a single word of dissent, just like Obama. The Cult of Personality icon worship by the left getting copied by the right is not a good thing...
There's a lot to admire (his amazing talent at picking exceptional support staff should be far more often discussed than it is) and be hopeful about and be motivated by in his words... but there many red flags as well, and the more his supporters insist these will never be a problem, the more I feel sure that they will.
(I know, I know, I'm a back-stabbing traitor who wants America to fail, because I dared to not exalt The Trump, just like Limbaugh and Sowell and all those other RINOs)
Trump is all ready making America great.Liberals are lining up to say that they will LEAVE the USA if Donald J. Trump wins. Go Trump!
Go to this link, scroll down to “Richard’s Voting Story” and listen to it. Local talk radio host Richard Dixon. Over 12 minutes, but listen to every word. I heard this after I had already voted, but it really mirrored my epiphany.

I almost decided to vote for Trump when Jeff Sessions endorsed. Over the weekend I eventually decided to vote for Cruz. When we went to the polls I had to help my wife vote, and she surprised me...she wanted to vote for Trump.
I always bragged that I had two votes because my wife always voted the way I told her to vote. Here she was defying my choice! We are truly in the twilight zone!
http://www.televisiontunes.com/Twilight_Zone_-_TV_of_the_50s_Version_(The).html
So I decided to switch to Trump.
Since that time the fury that has been unleashed by the GOP Establishment has solidified our choice. This is a hostile takeover of the Republican Party. As my favorite radio host says “Politics is a contact sport. Wear a cup!”
Listen to Richard’s Voting Story at this link. It’s epic.
Senator Sessions is my senator. The Donald can use him off the books for all he wants, but he stays my senator. He can offer all the free advice Trump needs, but he can’t have him in his administration. Alabama needs him right where he is.
I didn’t search enough, different article anyway:

rump names Sessions chairman of national security committee
Politico ^ | 03/03/16 08:20 PM EST | NICK GASS

Donald Trump has named Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions the chairman of his national security advisory committee, the Republican frontrunner’s campaign announced Thursday evening.
Sessions, who became the first senator to endorse Trump earlier this week, will advise the candidate on matters of foreign policy and national security.
“We need to understand the limits of our ability to intervene successfully in other nations,” said Sessions, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a statement. “It is time for a healthy dose of foreign policy realism. In the Middle East, this means forming partnerships based on shared interests, not merely overthrowing regimes in the dangerous attempt to plant democracies.”
The announcement by Trump comes while he’s trying to pivot to the general election with a “common-sense conservative” message, as he put it when discussing his views on Planned Parenthood on Tuesday. Trump’s campaign said it will announce more advisers on national security and on other issues “over the next few weeks.”
“A national-interest foreign policy, combined with a military second to none, stands in contrast to interventionist ideas that could enmesh us further in the region’s chaos,” Sessions said. “After over a decade of war and conflict, this country has a host of smart, experienced, and proven leaders. That wisdom must be sought. These meetings will be the beginning of a process that Mr. Trump has called for and which he believes must result in a clear and realistic bipartisan global strategy that will guide our nation for years to come.”
I’ve wanted Allen West for VP for months.
