We are with you and Trump all the way to the WH!!
That’s what I call a scorched earth opus!
Good statement. Thank you, and thanks for FR.
Trump will NOT win in November without the votes of present-day Cruz supporters. What, do you suppose, will be the result of continued attacks against Cruz?

I think that it would be very nice if Cruz supporters (and Cruz himself) showed themselves at all willing to give up their rancor and bile for the sake of the country.
Why on earth should we give them the time of day if they’re going to do nothing but try to get Hillary elected with their bitterness?
At this rate, we’d get more votes reaching out to Bernie supporters than to those who are earning the Sore Cruzerman title.
And no, I am not naming names (except for the ZOTees, ha ha!) or calling you one of those.
But this is a war, and I’m not going to pull punches against people who show willingness to stab their fellows in the back.
Personally, what I'm looking forward to is the buyers remorse for the hardcore Trump supporters. The daily caucus threads are going to be really, really useful.
Exactly. But, Cruz should not have decended into the gutter with Trump on name calling and the back and forth back biting.
He should have just stuck with his message and his vision of what he would accomplish as president.
BTTT
Good idea.... I suggest “ for once I was blind but now I see”
Yes. Exactly like Cruz did. And is currently doing.
Jim Rob may have called this for Trump. And started bugzapping the anti-Trumpists. But that means nothing to the Convention process.
Ted or Kasich may well indeed be the spoiler. And if so - it is because they are sucking up to the GOP-e.
I maintain Donald will too, or he will not have the inside the Beltway support that is necessary to win.
I have loved FR from the time I found it. I will refrain from my distain, and hope for the best.

I’m afraid that ship has sailed. At most we can try to preserve one house of Congress as a bulwark against Hillary, but too many people on both sides will sit out or go 3rd party if the “wrong” candidate is nominated for a Republican nominee to win the White House this year. A lot of Trump supporters have said their goal was to tear down the GOP; well, I think they succeeded, at least for this year.
Because Trump WILL NOT WIN without them. You want to win, right? You want to beat Hildebeeste, right?
But this is a war,
Then for the love of God quit treating as enemies those without whose alliance you will LOSE. Remember: You want to win. You want to beat Hildebeeste. Right?
Let's get Trump over the 1237 mark and finally take the GOPe completely out of the picture!!
Then onward to the presidency in November!!
Most Cruz supporters will vote for Trump when faced with the stark choice of Trump vs. Hillary. The obsessive compulsive Trump haters aren't a significant demographic.
Now see, here’s what worries me... I hear Trump supporters here gloating about watching Cruz supporters eat crow, and then Cruz supporters anticipating the schadenfreude when Trump turns out to not be what the Trumpsters imagine him to be.
I don’t think we should be gleefully anticipating each others’ impending discomfiture, regardless of the side we’re on.
As always, Jim is 100% right.
In reality, Durbin, you, and all of us are faced with a binary choice.
Trump or Hillary?
Those will be the only candidates who have a chance of winning after the conventions, (unless of course, Hillary drops out due to health or an indictment, in which case, Biden/Warren will be up within 72 hours.)
Is Trump perfect? No. But you get the potatoes with the beef, the rice with the chicken, and no substitutions are allowed.
I think even RR would have told you that he himself was not perfect.... but, damn, those were 8 great years.
Is Trump perfect? No, but he is a hell of a lot better than the Hildabeast.... and America will choose one of them to be our President for the next 4/8 years... if America would ever last 8 years under Hillary.!
It’s time we ALL pull on our Big Boy pants and get working TOGETHER to defeat Hillary.
I have no qualms about castigating an idiot that does not even understand that a person born in Canada is not eligible to be President.
Drop the hatchet and step away from the body, Cruz is dead!
