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.”

Don't be a complete idiot; you should know me better than that!

Wake up and face reality, instead of living in a bubble of your own making; please.

Amen, but neither he nor KaSICKO, who both are loving the limelight and being “spoilers”, will do the right thing; sadly.

Cruz is a LIAR, a FRAUD, and someone shall primary him and he'll lose.

You've drunk the CRUZ-AIDE and believe his hyp; that's too bad. I really DID think that your were smarter than that.

I once was all FOR Cruz. He looked GREAT on paper! that's because he was wearing many masks and hiding what and who he REALLY was/is. The more one gets to know who and what Ted is, the less likeable he is and the of a complete FRAUD shines through.

Voting FOR the Corker Bill, the TPA and the lying about it and asking another to also lie for him is disgusting! Cruz is every much as big a RINO and OWNED by his big donors as those he used to rail against.

As they say in Texas....HE'S ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE !

I’ve seen tornadoes that don’t twist as much as you just did with that response. Let’s remind you again, it was Dubya that appointed Roberts. If you’re going to hold a person accountable for appointments, it falls with the President. If President Cruz appoints a Roberts, Kennedy, O’Connor, Stevens or the like, that’s when you can hold him accountable. The rest is a ludicrous overreach.

What Trump is doing now is patriotic. So has what Cruz has been doing throughout his career.

You’ve set a high standard for Cruz. So now the standards are subjective when it comes to everyone else ? There’s a word for that...

Names, give me names ! You bitch and moan how he’s going to be primaried and you can’t come up with a single, solitary name. Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin don’t count.

why not drop it?
you won’t see it until Ted screws the pooch again.
He will.
In fact, you will have a sense of it before it actually happens. At that point, you will have that “won’t be fooled again” experience.
In the meanwhile... let it go like you said... and let it rest for now. The next two weeks should be a real eye opener for a host of issues and items.

Thanks and good night.

I already said I support a unified Trump-Cruz ticket. Trump would have to pick a horrid leftist weasel VP choice (Ohio’s Pig Vomit or Roofio) for me to go 3rd party like I did in 2012.

Cruz hasn't done a damned thing!

As a lawyer, he did what his clients paid him to do; though he didn't win all that many cases.

As a Freshman Senator, he either did what he was told to do, or bloviated, ranted, and/or lied to make a name for himself. Mostly, he was just running for the GOP presidential nominee. THAT'S PATRIOTIC?

I didn't state ANY "standards", that I have "set for Cruz", so please don't attempt to put words in my mouth.

I'll tell you one "standard" that I am absolutely against and that's for Freshman Senators abrogating their elected responsibilities and trying to run for president in the middle of their term!

My second STANDARD follows the Constitution of the USA; to whit : that a presidential candidate MUST be a NBC, as must the VEEP!

Politics is indeed a BLOOD SPORT, down in the gutter DIRTY and ALWAYS has been, since the beginning of this nation!

There are many words for what YOU are too. :-)
