A Rising GOP Star’s Dilemma: Should She Back Trump?
http://www.wsj.com ^ | April 15, 2016 | Beth Reinhard

Most anywhere Nicole Malliotakis goes, she gets the question—in the Staten Island senior center, on the streets of Brooklyn, at her parents’ kitchen table. Why aren’t you supporting Donald Trump? Earlier this year, Ms. Malliotakis, a 35-year-old New York assemblywoman, was her state’s leading backer of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. She openly criticized Mr. Trump’s rhetoric against women and Muslims and his past donations to Democrats. In tweets she added: “#NEVERTRUMP.”

I prefer RINOs to be generic like Peter King or Rep Donovan (Staten Island) than "rising stars" like Rubio, Mia Love & Trey Gowdy.

King is a squishy RINO. But you are right, he doesn't do much at all. But Rubio, Love and Gowdy are fake "tea party conservatives" who have all backed amnesty...after promising voters they wouldn't, and lying to their faces after they did. Love is a particular disappointment and I would love to see her gone, but the Mormon mafia will protect this former Haitian Christian, so long as she backs the LDS' leading priority: open borders.

You didn’t ask me but I’ll respond.

No. I won’t vote Hillary if Cruz is nominee.

But I will also not let anyone believe my vote can be taken for granted.

I fully expect to vote Trump in November. Either by checking a box or writing in.

Disgusting. This Greek American can watch how Muslim "refugees" have utterly destroyed once-beautiful Greek towns, and then bashes Trump for wanting to keep them out of the U.S.? What a despicable bitch.

She will be gone.

Trump probably would treat her more politely than Im sure the kooky mormons worry about converts.

I advise you not to lie about my statements here.

I respect that Peter King at least attacked Boehner for not giving New Yorks some pork. I can respect that, as opposed to Gowdy or someone who wants amnesty for illegals for what purpose and what benefit i dont know.

Raphael Edward Cruz is a pretender whose parents renounced any claims as to being American Citizens when they expatriated to Canada, and became subjects of the crown just so they could register as voters there.

And of course they did renounce their american citizenship and both register and vote as Canadian citizens there, even before Ted was conceived and born in freakin’ CANADA of Canadian Citizen Parents...

Raphael is clearly neither conservative nor “Constitutional” as in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5...

So if Cruz is the nominee, you’ll vote for Hillary ?

As for me, I'd never vote hitlery. I'd vote 3rd party Trump, maybe even write-in.

Worst case scenario, I'd vote cruise, then regret it later like I did mccane and mitt.

Sen. Ted Cruz is perhapsan a NATURALIZED American, 100%.

According to Ted himself: "two american citizen parents born on american soil. period."

I expect Trump will be the nominee as well and will vote for either him or Cruz (preferably, I want a Trump-Cruz ticket, because we need both men to fight the left and the establishment, but I repeat myself).

I’m just sick to death of the hysterical, over-the-top attacks here on a man that is our greatest Conservative Senator serving in that odious, corrupt body today. That he’s being painted as a Ted Kennedy or that vile Socialist ringer for Zero, Slick Willard (let alone Cap’n McQueeg) is so ludicrous as to raise questions as to the sanity of the poster making them.

I find it particularly shameful for someone who has been here as long as you deciding to attack one of our greatest current Conservative Senators. Disgusting, actually. I don’t recall you acting remotely as indignant 4 years ago when I was leading the charge against a REAL traitor and Socialist in Willard. Frankly, sir, you’re not fit to shine Sen. Cruz’s shoes.

Sen. Ted Cruz is a citizen, he is 100% qualified. This leftist propaganda horsecrap was addressed and debunked long ago. Shame on you for regurgitating this vomitus.

“And common sense people don’t care about the gender makeup of a team, as long as they are the best and most qualified for the position and they get the job done.”

Exactly!

F (to D):”Frankly, sir, you’re not fit to shine Sen. Cruz’s shoes.”

Well, I am sure that D has no interest in shining Ted Cruz’ shoes, but you can feel free to do so, if you worship Cruz so much. The GOPe will be ROTFL watching you.

Not enough evidence.

I saw a photo of Li’l Debbie Wasserman-Sgt.Schultz posted here not long ago that made her looked non-beastly.
Do you have one of her in a bikini under bright light?

At the very least, it’s time for her to shut up.

She can go to Syria and join ISIS and see how they treat women, including her.

I don’t worship politicians, madam. As for Cruz being a scion of the RINO wing, perhaps you picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
