“Trump doesn’t have much of a political compass. He has the ability to redefine himself over the course of a debate,” said another GOP senator. “My concern with Trump is there’s a greater likelihood of the pendulum swinging to the left of center with him in office.”

On the other hand, the lawmaker fretted that Cruz as president would routinely swat down bills passed by Congress if they contained elements of compromise.

“With Cruz I’d be worried about opposition along the lines that things don’t go far enough,” the GOP senator added.

There you go - the choice is a consistent conservative or a wheeler-dealer who many in the Establishment recognize will make deals with them.

Tell me again, who is the choice conservatives - that Americans, should support?

I know you tend to get strong opinions to your posts, but I enjoy them, so don’t stop!

My preference is Trump 1, Cruz 2. I am really glad the GOPe has these as the only two choices left.

In my view Cruz’ best fit is SCOTUS.

If I could predict the GOP ticket, it would not be Trump/Cruz (although that’s a really good one).

I would think that if I had to place a bet as to the GOP ticket, it would be Donald Trump / Scott Walker.

Do you agree with Cruz that Trump supporters are and I quote "Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they're angry at. He is the corruption"

“Republican senators say Trump has proven himself to be a formidable political force. However, they question whether he’ll stick to conservative policy tenets once in office.”

Ironically, the reason Trump got the traction he has is precisely because too many Republican Senators, and Congressman, did not stick to the policy tenets they campaigned on. The whole anti-establishment sentiment that has propelled Cruz and Trump was borne of that failure of elected Republicans to stick to those policy tenets.

No, just keep your mouth shut and vote. Then support the winner. How hard is that?

“I go back and forth between them,” another GOP senator told The Hill Wednesday. “They’re both so unpredictable.”

Gee, that’s too bad, Linda.

It is precisely because of the extreme conservatism that many conservatives find Cruz distasteful and are not voting for him.

Cruz is in fact not attracting enough conservatives to win

Bernie Sanders

When he gets screwed by the Clintons most of his supporters will stay home and a few will vote for the GOP candidate ( a lot will vote gop if it is trump)

So a vote for Bernie means not- Hillary more than voting for a gop RINO

How about letting the voters decide? I guess it would be too much for the elitist scumbags to do that, though. They have all lined up behind Ted now and we’re all supposed to vote for Ted to “stop Trump”.

Screw that. Sounds like more of the same, to me.

Easy choice:

Trump, a liberal RAT under cloak who will lead to the destruction of the Republican Party.

Cruz, an unashamed Conservative who will lead to the energizing of conservatism.

Sure they hate both, but one leads to their demise, the other leads to a rise of conservatism, but at least they still have a shot of playing a part in the game.

Trump will lead to their absolute destruction, as the party WILL crumble if he is nominated.

If you think otherwise, you are kidding yourself.

The one wheeling and dealing is the guy who have brought Neil BUSH on board for financial advice, is meeting with Jeb, and who has “accidentally” voted for TPA and promoted TPP.

And there’s the lie about Canadian citizenship.

I don’t trust Cruz.

Robotic voice, “I am a conservative, I am a Conservative, I am a conser...(battery getting low) va-—tive...”

“Beep beep beep” (Sound of Trump-truck backing up)

Donald the driver, “Load all those used up Cruz conservative robots, I'll take them back to the brand new American factory and have newly employed Americans refurbish them.”

Anytime RINOS face an agonizing choice, it’s a good day for America.

These “lawmakers” should be more worried about their own future. RINO’s BEWARE. Your day of reckoning is very near.
