I wish you wouldn’t swear please.

[papertyger]

Is that so? Well, I've been reading here daily for about a dozen years, and don't ever recall seeing your handle before. You don't appear to be one who stops in here very often. So much for pulling rank.

Lot of that going around these days....

[grey_whiskers]

Sore Loserman syndrome.

[topfile]

Trump wins and everyone else is “SURGING”....give me a break..This word should be banned after the election.

[eyedigress]

Well, just a curl up a blanket in the corner.

[Dan in Wichita]

I stop in here multiple times a day. I don't post very often because I generally don't have time. I try to quickly catch up on the news and hear a few opinions. Tonight is by far the most I've posted in one day.

In my initial post tonight about being disgusted with liars and phonies on FR, I didn't mention any candidates. It's funny how the Trumpsters assumed I was talking about them.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Hey on the beer try the Belgian Shocktop. I finally tried it and it is great.

[stocksthatgoup]

Trump has changed politics so much that Fox’s Rollins, Wallace, and Tripi look like antiques now.

---

Unlike the others he at least is honest about it.

[Cold Heat]

If I must address his viewpoints, I will concede that he has some sort of concern about the border, and he likes to carry a gun, but he has supported firearm bans, and frankly, we already have a border 'fence" started....just need congress to put up the funding to complete it.

and no, I don't believe Mexico will pay for it. The American buyers of goods and services will pay for it.

That's how tariffs work.

[kabar]

Love it when Trump turns the tables on the media. He is playing games with them using the press conference as an infomercial. All that is missing is the telephone number to call to order the products.

[Luircin]

I don’t understand Cruz’s logic with the Bush thing. It is just going to kill any momentum he may have had.

***

Yeah, seriously.

I’m honestly wondering if Cruz is intentionally sabotaging his campaign so he can get OUT of the race and back to his family with a minimum of embarrassment and without being seen as endorsing Trump by doing so.

Either that or he’s utterly tone deaf.

Or blindly ambitious.

[BlueNgold]

Literally since Iowa.
The way to get press in this election cycle is apparently to finish third.

By that logic, great night so far for Cruz and Kasich.

[Iowa David]

I heard on Fox, Cruz only spent $1000 in Michigan. Anyone know how much Kasich spent?

[deweyfrank]

LOL..No doubt. I think he got sent to bed. We’ll cross our fingers.

[onona]

It was excellent. Worth watching imo

[stocksthatgoup]

After that I really believe he’ll make Mexico pay for the wall! LOL!

---

At least he will build it. Being from Texas I would think you would be happy. LOL!

[Rational Thought]

I know, but people get very emotionally attached to their candidates around election season, often seeing them as something they’re not.

I really think a certain radio host, formerly one I trusted, had something to do with this....

I have no delusions about Trump, warts and all. But, he is the best shot to stop the horrible control the government has over the people, when it should be the other way around.

[dragnet2]

Most Cruz folks will eventually gravitate to Trump and they should.

Those that don’t are simply part of the party before country, party over principle, party over patriotism mentality. And I’d guess a few are simply suffering from BVS, Battered Voter Syndrome. Those folks just can’t get enough abuse and always come back for more.

[Parley Baer]

“Cruz’s blind ambition causes him to make poor decisions for the sake of expediency. Beck, Lindsey, Bush, Roe,etc.”

You make an excellent point. Just look at the people that they surround themselves with. I think Trump is tops at that. Cruz not so much and appears to be getting worse.

[EDINVA]

“... will Rubio drop out before Fl and endorse Cruz??”

How likely would that be, given that today Rubio was accusing Cruz of dirty tricks against him?
