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.”

We need to unify and bury this back and forth garbage. I absolutely support a Trump-Cruz ticket to ensure 16 years of Conservative leadership coming from the White House. Who can disagree with that ?
I wasn’t aware that Sen. Cruz, who was not even a Senator during the confirmation hearings, was solely responsible for all of John Roberts’s actions, rulings, et al. Well, guess what ? By that reckoning, you’ve just argued that Reagan was unfit for office. Why ? Because he supported Sandra Day O’Connor for the bench (Anthony Kennedy, too, y’know the guy that was the key vote for legalized sodomite marriage). I expect you to begin burning Ronald Reagan in effigy at once.
>>>common sense people<<<
Obama got Elected and Reelected. A Socialist and a LYING wannabe Felon are the current DemoncRat Contenders for the Presidency.
Common Sense in America is a dwindling asset.
Ditto for those that do the same to Donald Trump.
If Ted Cruz didn't do things like, for instance, playing the race card, totally disingenuously, there would be a lot fewer people "dragging his name through the mud". Playing the race card, especially when it's known to be a blatant and false smear, is the sleaziest tactic in the book. It was one of the first things Ted Cruz did that began to erode my opinion of him.
Politics is a brutal sport, as I think all candidates have realized. But there's no question that Donald Trump has drawn the lion's share of hateful attacks, from an imposing array of Establishment forces that is truly unprecedented.
Even Trump's detractors should be honest enough to concede that he has weathered the onslaught amazingly well, and that virtually anyone else subjected to something like this would have withered long ago. Donald Trump is one tough son of a gun.
Donald Trump is a successful American businessman who has lived the American Dream. He's always been known as a man of his word who is blunt to a fault at times, and politically incorrect.
During the last 14 years, he's hosted a successful television show called "The Apprentice". At no point (that I'm aware of) during this time has Donald Trump been credibly accused of being a racist, sexist, or bigot. If he had been, he would have had his show canceled or been fired from hosting it.
Now, suddenly, when Trump runs for President, the American People are supposed to believe that he's racist, sexist, a "con man", and some kind of demon from Hell, if not the Devil incarnate himself.
While Trump is far from perfect, the American People have seen the Left/Media/GOPe and finally the Cruz campaign conduct a relentlessly slanted and unfair character assassination campaign against Donald Trump for months on end, and while that has predictably driven his negatives up, it has simultaneously exposed the total phoniness and moral bankruptcy of the Establishment, who has gone all out to personally destroy this overall decent American who loves his country, sees what's happening, and wants to help make America great again.
IMHO, Donald Trump will make a fine President; certainly a better one than anyone else who is available at the moment. By the time the GOP convention arrives, he will have earned the right to have that opportunity.
Ted Cruz has plenty of time to learn from his own mistakes and run again sometime soon. If he wises up, he might even have a shot at the VP slot in this cycle.
But the hysterical dismissal and derogation of Donald Trump has to stop, and until it does, the healing and unifying process can't begin.
I know there are some Cruz supporters who will stubbornly drag out this process to the last painful moment, but hopefully Ted Cruz himself will finally show some leadership and concede defeat. There's nothing dishonorable in that.
We will see what develops as the results come in Tuesday nighth, and the Tuesday after that.
Vote Trump
Which that it would were Trump a Conservative. He isn’t.
Nice of you to post a picture of yourself; pet.
He pushed W to hire Roberts during the whole HANGING CHAD thing and no matter what he claims now, also pushed W to choose Roberts for SCOTUS. One of THE worst of the worst Justices EVER!
If Ted were ruled by the Supremes to be a Natural Born Citizen... I might go for that... but they won’t.
And until they do, Trump won’t pick him for the same reason.
But I feel you. In fact WAS you six months ago. But Ted has really gone all in with the GOP e to win. The owner of this site has indicated that Ted is a TRAITOR to the cause.
I agree with that. I think like most of us did last, you want to trust the guy... but even you sense he is NOT ready for prime time. Eventually I believe you will come to see he may not be legally qualified either.
I did not reach this conclusion overnight. Was a firm Ted supporter and that means $$$$ went from my account, to his. I thank God Trump does not beg me for money four days a week. Ted’s most recent offering requests both went in the shredder this past week. Back a few months ago I was being sent cards to become the “delegate” vip type in my state. I shredded them faster than a block of sharp cheddar cheese.
Ted is not who you think he is.
Nobody will get an argument from me about vicious attacks on Trump needing to stop, too. All of this garbage is taking our eyes off the real target, and that’s stopping that evil bitch in November. For every attack fired and landed on our side inflicting damage and division, she cackles with delight.
Trump doesn't "need" Ted on the ticket; it would even hurt him to do so!
OTOH...Ted NEEDS every bit of help he can get, from anywhere, because IF he is primaried, which he probably shall be, he'll be a one term Senator and that's it...the end of his political career!
If Trump were truly the left-winger made out to be, the media would be pulling out all the stops to have him be the nominee. They want a REAL leftist loser, like Ohio’s Gov. Pig Vomit or the party foisting Speaker Ryan down our throats. The media is terrified of Trump being the nominee, because they know he can win (that’s why they’re warning us he will “lose”).
I expect you to be roasting Reagan for Sodomite Kennedy’s appointment ? Where is it ?
We need to unify and bury this back and forth garbage.
I have stated from the get-go what my goal is: unifying behind both men for November. That’s it, period. Case closed.
I’ve asked the DewCrist peanut gallery, entertaining your ridiculous claim, who is going to primary Sen. Cruz from the right in 2018 ? What Texan has been more unapologetically vocal in taking on the corrupt RINO establishment in the Senate led by Zero’s Bitch Mitch ? Who is this magical individual ? He/she does not exist, because none of you folks can answer the question.
Here’s a suggestion, why don’t you focus on taking out a REAL RINO Senate loser in Texas, and his name is John Cornyn. Remember him ?
No problem at all. Just don’t try to tell me Cruz is a great choice to select SCOTUS nominees.
Nobody ever claimed Reagan was a Constitutional scholar, brightest in the land, and absolutely the best guy to pick future nominees.
And you didn’t know that. LOL
Ted is a flop at even the things he’s supposed to be the best at.
Lol
That’s it, period. Case closed.
Here's 2ndDivisionVet's "leftist propaganda horsecrap" tagline from a few years ago, referring to 0bama: (Don't care if he was born in a manger on July 4th! A "Natural Born" citizen requires two US parents!)
I've never heard 2DV's explanation of how he has evolved on this issue. I'd let it go if only I could get an answer. I realize he doesn't owe me an answer, but until there is one, I call hypocrisy, because he's now an ardent Ted Cruz supporter, and Ted Cruz obviously doesn't meet the qualification 2DV cited. I'm not trying to antagonize the guy, I'm just trying to understand...
FYI.....Trump is far more of a Conservative than Cruz shall EVER be and Trump is also an old fashioned PATRIOT, much like the FFs! Cruz? He's out for himself and the hell with everyone else!
