Cruz is the only viable person for the general election.

David Limbaugh is a nice guy but he’s naïve.
He doesn’t see this as a war between establishment and anti-establishment.
He sees it as a Sunday school debate.
They will get behind Cruz when hell freezes over, which we learned about in Sunday School.

There is nothing “good” about Mitt Romney.
He is a scumbag, crook and coward.

I am a pretty reasonable person, at times, so let me fill you in on something maybe people havent thought of:
If you think the bombs being thrown at Trump right are hard, wait until Trump or Cruz meets Hillary at her finest...
Trump is tough, and he can take it, I dont know about Cruz, I dont care enough about him to even count, so here we are, one of them is going to have to go up against the shrill herself....the media, DNC, talking heads, foreign leaders shes paid off, everybody and their dogs are going to protect her and there isnt going to be a thing to fight back with, unless you start collecting articles now, and I have been since 2012; so I have the ammo to hit back and so does Trump, she is the New World Order darling and dont think that isnt the truth...
When Trump warned Cruz about his birther situation, he wasnt being mean as a lot took it to mean, he was warning him he had better clean it up because Hillary will use it and it will be turned around to her benefit, and his weak statement of my mother was born in America isnt going to mean a tinkers damn to her, shell file papers in every court in America, and those Judges will be paid heavily to side with her or their jobs will be gone, this is the Clinton Crime Family, they are killers, crooks, liars and a lot more and arent behind bars and never will be...
So think about this, dont take this lightly, she will do anything and everything to get to the Oval Office, even assassination if need be....

Exactly.
Trump is the front-runner.
And he’s supposed to drop out?
This is insane!

Once Cruz and his followers started on that bogus KKK crap, he lost me for good.
I was teetering on whether I would support Cruz or not. The biggest turnoff was his supporters.
So no, this is a death match. I will not be supporting or voting for anybody other than Trump.

No way. The more I read about Cruz, the less I like him. Vote Trump.

Mitt Romney made Cruz the establishment candidate, and ruined his chances. Up until this point, I would have been willing to vote for Cruz, IF he got the nod. No more. I won’t vote for another rotten stinking filthy establishment candidate ever again.

Jeff Roe is from Kansas City. Hes a sleezebag. So was the guy Ted fired, and so is the guy that replaced him - busted for hiring illegal aliens - twice.
Theres no doubt Jeff is well versed in gutter politics.
It was Mr. Roe who hired Mr. Tyler to be the Cruz campaigns spokesman. (In an interview this month, Mr. Tyler said he had learned a lot from Mr. Roe. Jeff wins, Mr. Tyler said, adding, I dont think anything weve done is underhanded or deceptive or anything like that.)
But back home, Mr. Roes allies and opponents alike have seen a familiar imprint in the Cruz campaigns recent exploits, which have included a Photoshopped image of Mr. Rubio and the misleading suggestion, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, that Ben Carson was leaving the race.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/us/politics/ted-cruz- campaign-manager-jeff-roe.html?_r=0
All been done before by Jeff Roe. Then there is this;
"Political consultant Jeff Roe, who is based in Kansas City, is Ted Cruz's campaign manager and the architect of the Texas senator's surprising first-place finish.
Roe is hardly a household name even amongst the political chattering class. (He has less than 6,000 Twitter followers.) Locally, he's most famous for commissioning the mean- spirited ad that upset State Auditor Tom Schweich and may have factored into his suicide, at least according to former U.S. Senator John Danforth, who blasted "politics that has gone so hideously wrong" in his funeral oration. Roe has been labeled "the Karl Rove of Missouri" and the people calling him that don't consider it a compliment.
But as last night's results proved, he knows what he's doing. Cruz didn't just hold off all the other candidates vying for Iowa's large block of conservative voters. He did it even while beating Donald Trump. It was a wild, complicated race, and you have to respect the guy who figured out how to propel any candidate, much less one who's thoroughly loathed by everyone he meets, to victory.
In an interview with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Roe discussed a few secrets to his success namely, a simple message and strong branding. Roe comes across as intensely analytical. He doesn't just know how long the average voter looks at a mailer (17 seconds); he knows how long he wants you to look at one touting Cruz (45 seconds). "When we communicate with the voter, we want it to be simple, clear and reinforce our candidate's brand," he says. For Cruz, that was "strong Christian conservative leader."
A recent New York Times Magazine piece delved more deeply into how Roe & Co. made those words resonate for Cruz, who'd hitherto been identified mostly as a conservative, not necessarily a Christian. Writes Robert Draper,
"One morning early in January, in the lobby of a public library in Onawa, Iowa, I listened to Cruzs campaign manager, Jeff Roe, as he explained a central challenge of his previous few months. Prior to March 23, Roe said, if you were to word-cloud Ted Cruz, which we do every day take all the Google mentions and Internet searches, dump them into a file and form a cloud you cant find evangelical. In other words, voters were largely unaware of the Tea Party firebrands religious faith. To convince evangelicals that Ted Cruz was the righteous candidate, Roe told me, his team needed to sell him as such, from the very beginning: Regardless of what youve got in the bank, youd better determine the narrative of the campaign, and show thats who we are, every day."
Last night's results suggest that effort worked beautifully.
Yes, Iowa is unusually dominated by evangelicals, and yes, if Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are any indication, Cruz faces an uphill battle to get the Republican nomination, much less win a single state. But we have to hand it to Roe. Never before has a candidate that so many Americans find this intensely annoying managed to make it this far."

Nothing like this is coming out about the Trump or Kasich campaigns. If there was anything like this going on with Trump the media would be screaming it from the rooftops.

You see what conservatism is being dragged to, New York is going to decide how our country goes. While Texas, the bedrock of conservative ideals for the past thirty years is being ignored.
