In an election in which a Ted Cruz supporter is compelled to choose among a Marxist, a felon, and charlatan, this conservative will abide by his commitment and support Donald Trump not as an affirmative vote for Trump but as a vote against the Marxist and the felon and for the reasons articulated by the author.

I suspect that this commitment will not get easier to keep but more difficult. So far we have had to ignore support for increasing subsidies for biofuels, support for increasing the minimum wage, confused position on taxes, and confused position on the debt. We have had to soldier on in support of this candidate with precious few specifics about how he will actually "make America great again." And we are now confronted with hires reflecting the very worst of the Washington Insiders and the Goldman Sachs crony capitalism axis the oppositon to which had been a cornerstone of the candidacy.

Compared to zero specifics from Ted Cruz on what he would do. And unlike Trump, Cruz has no record of accomplishments. Yes, he won that Senate seat in Texas and we were all happy for him. But he’s been mostly a no-show since and has done nothing for conservatives except talk the good talk.

Like Trump says, all talk and no action. Or as they say in Texas, all hat and no cattle.

Maybe Cruz should focus on doing the job he was elected to do and build a record of accomplishment that he can run on later. He’s only about 45 years old. There is hope for him yet but he has a lot to learn and he needs to actually accomplish something besides campaigning and being an absentee senator.

You can take your "Trump is a charlatan" slander elsewhere.

The very fact that Donald Trump is still standing, in the face of relentless character assassination by the GOPe and their Machiavellian ilk such as Ted Cruz, is quite sufficient to prove that your premise is false.

No charlatan could have weathered that storm.

Tearing down the GOP nominee serves no constructive purpose, and indeed can potentially have the effect of depressing voter enthusiasm. It can only help Hillary. Is that your intent?

The Trump concern troll routine is wearing very thin in this community, from the top down. It appears many still need some time to get over the lingering bitterness that accompanies embracing a failed candidate.

At this juncture, if you'll recall, we're trying to beat Hillary, , not abet her, so if you can't say something nice about the nominee, then maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. A wise person once said that.

What is the purpose of attempting to undermine morale by perpetuating a canard that the GOP electorate has repudiated decisively? You just can't seem to move on to the next stage of this process.

Thanks to relying on such balanced information resources such as yourself, we're all quite familiar with Donald Trump's many flaws, both real and imagined.

Speaking of imagination versus reality: Ted Cruz was actually standing in front of cameras yesterday, seriously talking about "unsuspending" his failed campaign, based on the fantasy that he might somehow win the Nebraska primary.

Fortunately, the voters of Nebraska disabused the Harvard debate champion of his misconception, hopefully once and for all for 2016.

Hillary is the charlatan in this election.

Vote Trump! Enthusiastically...

Fear not...Trump supporters will post lots of things Trump has said he said he will do to prove you wrong, but very little on how he will do it...

I used to think magically thinking was only a liberal characteristic...
