We like that he may con for us for a change, the American people, some reversals of RINOs working the Obama agenda, and do it as well as he has successfully built a business with brains, with no business scandals of merit. Just shrewd and profitable and lawfully.
He speaks our language and is known as the “blue collar billionaire”, not the Harvard style con who rapes the nation for personal gain. TRUMP needs none of that, nor the trappings of it. He actually likes the country and it’s finest traditions.
No, it didn't.
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know — Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death
Acts 2:22-23
Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?”
They answered and said to him, “If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”
Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.”
Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.
John 18:29-32
Blech.
How did he do *what to Sarah? I had thought she dropped him for TRUMP and that was the end of the story? No?
I knew Beck went dark on her, but had not heard about Cruz.
Thank you, I was just thinking that, having lost a brother to it.
Thank you, SaraJohnson! Awesome responses.
ibtz on this goofus comes to mind. Thx.
I think is is Joey, his nephew. He is Miriam’s son (she is the Cruz sister who died of an OD). I think Miriam is the “she” he keeps talking about. (Google pics).
Sarah had a right to make her choice and Cruz took it too personal.
Nope. I was only applying it to you since you are the one who offered this statement:
I spent my youth in the heart of New York City. I guarantee that I’ve seen everything you have and at least ten times more.
You portrayed yourself as somewhat of an authority on the drug culture after making this completely asinine statement:
Cocaine is about as heavy a drug as alcohol, and no more.
As someone who has experienced the front line first hand, I can say that you do not have a clue what you are talking about. Sure, at one point in your life you may have snorted some coke that had been stepped on 42 times in East Harlem. But when you find your best friend dead of a heart attack with the needle still dangling from his arm because he got the crazy idea to shoot a whole gram of Peruvian flake, then you can come and tell me how pointless drug laws are. Capisce?
Meh. As a Hoosier, I have to wonder how well Trump is going to play here.
Maybe I am wrong but a lot of Midwesterners don’t like blow-hards.
I’m sure you’re correct, but I have been thinking it’s his delegate tactics that have been exposed by TRUMP, and the TRUMP supporters are legion who have been jacked around by the established Republicans running this Cruz scam to shut out supporters from becoming delegates.
I know it is bad out there and the word is getting out on the ground, and since TRUMP is backing them up about wth is happening the media has picked up on it.
TRUMP supporters are having to lie and say they are for Cruz in order to have an even chance of being elected as a National Delegate at all.
“The answer is that if you’re going to apply the standards of inner-city crack addicts to the entire US population, you’re so far from having a rational discussion
You’re way off. You seem to think that drugs only affected inner cities. WRONG! The examples I gave you all came from middle income working class areas. And you have no way of deciding if the war on drugs has been successful, because you don’t know where the base line was.
Stop trying to make an educated decision on something you know nothing about.
Thanks for the info, Sam.
I wonder some times, if it had not been for TRUMP, and if he were never even in the race, who would I have been supporting all these months?
The race would look so different, I’m certain, and would we even know what we do now, if it weren’t for TRUMP.
Would be paying attention to Cruz’ stealing delegates from the beginning? Would Cruz even have to *steal* delegates?
Just a lot of questions, that make me so VERY thankful Donald TRUMP came along, this cycle. We prayed for a great leader, because we knew we had to have one to be able to hope for a chance our country could survive and reverse course.
I agree with you as well. Trump has done a good job of peeling the mask off the Cruz campaign. It ties in pretty well with “Lyin Ted”
“Cruz can’t make 1237. All he is now is a spoiler.”
“You’re right ontheball...”
I thought the same ten days, two weeks ago.
Cruz is (or was) an `outsider’. At least that’s what we keep hearing here from his supporters. He didn’t listen to McConnell, he was a rogue.
And the GOPers tried to talk him out of running, or at least running so soon. And they weren’t happy when he threw his hat int he ring. They didn’t like Trump either.
They were trying to decide who to put their cross-hairs on, then Trump got up a head of steam.
Back in late February the GOP-e was excreting bricks when he and Trump were coming in one and two, right?
And Cruz is a smart guy in many ways, very smart in others. Are we agreed on these things?
Cruz knows the GOP-e can’t stand him, anymore than Trump, so a reasonable conclusion is that he has a snowball’s chance in Cleveland if things go sideways for Trump, for whatever reason.
So why doesn’t he pack it in if he knows eventually, sooner or later, he’s going discarded like a used `candy wrapper’ at a hipster festival?
(Now I suppose some will say, “But he does stand a chance!”, an admission which pretty much cuts the legs out from under his `Rebel’ persona.)
I think there’s more here than Cruz simply being a `spoiler’—although that might be true, with him accepting some sort of deal less than the White House.
He’s too smart to be used without expecting a quid pro quo, something valuable in return.
If it isn’t the nomination, what is it?
It is incredible the lengths to which Cruzbots will go. Now, because it comes out that Felito was a cokehead, they are even extolling the virtues of coke. I wonder if being a cokehead makes one more likely to utilize prostitutes and have affairs?
If Trump hadn’t been in, the nominee would have been Rubio already. Cruz did not win a single county in FL or VA. I can’t state that enough. Rubes won the only ones Trump didn’t.
You cannot win the GOP nomination without those two states. It would have been a Rubes/Kasich shootout. God help us.
They’d rather have the GOPe or dems stay in power and the peasants keep losing jobs to a million different reasons.
as long as they stay rich.
love my tagline and will keep it as long as i’m on the board.
That contingent includes the owner of this site. Tread lightly with your insults. Cruzbots are working for the election of Hillary by supporting a mathematically eliminated candidate.
