“When is this filthy cheating cruz going to fully understand that we don’t like him, we don’t want him and that he should GTFO and go away!”
Maybe when it’s true.

What did you think would happen with Trump’s personal characterize assassinations? You forget what a small percentage of republican support Trump has.

As far as establishment, it is totally clear that Trump supporters believe that anyone NOT for Trump is establishment, that is their new definition. But if that gives you comfort I am happy for you.

They are interested in the 55% of Arkansas Republicans who voted for them and rejected Trump. They can probably shut Trump out by taking the trouble to understand and apply party rules, a majority of the popular vote (between them) and the fact that Trump got less than 1/3 of the vote and only a sliver plurality over Cruz. Of course, plurality is NOT majority. If the delegates WANT to, they can absent themselves altogether from the 1st ballot and be total free agents thereafter. The answer to that: Autowhine.

55% of Arkansas GOP primary voters are BIG PEOPLE???? Who knew? Little Abner should be resurrected for this moment.

What this says about Cruz and Rubio is that they are competent at politics, do their homework, build grassroots organizations and do not smugly assume that they are ENTITLED!

Not only that but each has third cousins six times removed who were never citizens and don’t get me started on the bloodlines of their household pets. They say that one owns an iguana and that is solid proof of anti-Americanism. All the Birthers and all the Birchers say so. When WILL some court, somewhere, VINDICATE them? Never!

According to you and the Birthers but, get a clue, NO ONE CARES about Birther fantasies and most particularly not the courts. Get a life and some REAL issues.

Cruz did not win the State.

Hence, he does not get rewarded for the losing.


Don’t try logic with these cRuzbots. Does not compute into the program.

At present, Arkansas is in good shape with a Republican (Bush ) governor, two Rep senators, and four Rep congress members.

Arkansas can revert to democrat rule very quickly if the likes of Rubio and Cruz and their supporters move to insert their GOPe delegates into the convention, replacing Trump delegates who represent the winner of the state primary. Arkansas voters have made their choice of Donald Trump known where we thought it counted. The ballot box. If our trust in those whom we have elected to represent us, and who will now participate in thwarting the will of the people of this state, is destroyed, they will pay the price of defeat in coming elections. Count on it. The resumes of Rubio and Cruz taken together would not constitute qualification for the leader of this most powerful country on earth. Cruz is now, and probably was from the get go, an employee of the GOPe who completely runs his campaign. From the day that Romney declared the GOPE war on Trump, Cruz has been supported by the whole Bush political machine, along with primary losers and dropouts. Cruz would never be an independent conservative voice because he is totally owned by the present establishment. Rubio is a good motivational speaker, as is Cruz, and that is about it for the two of them.

The hyperbolic vitriol directed here at Cruz — not Hillary— not Bernie.

Suggest to me that trump and his gang feel this slipping away

And voters should be moving away from trump as they have done in Colorado and Wisconsin

Cruz is conservative and while we will soon learn from trump supporters that he is a serial pedophile at some point a reality of politics will settle in.

Trump despises the status quo. That does not mean he is not a liberal

That does not mean he is a conservative

That is the purpose of this message board: to promote conservative political causes.

At some point trump supporters have an ethical obligation bonds to offer more than personal insults and to explain how conservatives are helped by his future actions.

I believe trump has told us explicitly he will take anti conservative actions.

I am mystified about why this unclear. If Hillary was somehow hoodwinking delegates and in the lead for the RNC nomination would freepers denounce all opponents of “the people “?

I want conservative politics. That s why I’m here.

You misunderstand, this has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the natural born clause. Cruz is not a natural born citizen, no matter how many times you call us birthers ect.

Cruz is no different than a love child between King George himself and an American woman. You really believe that the founders would consider that child a natural born citizen, able to hold the highest office in the land? It truly is the EXACT reason the natiral born clause was used, to prevent divided loyalties from gaining the highest offi e in the land.

There is no was the founders would have allowed a child fathered by King George, and I think all you Cruzers know this.

Wow talk about fat thumbs in my post above. Point was there is no way the founders would consider King George plus American woman equalling NBC child.

Haha and the best part is, even cherry picking the best parts of Cruz’s and Rubio’s birth status, you still cannot make a natural born citizen! And people are actually blind to this....

The founders would be so proud......(do I really need a sarcasm tag?)
