Both men would be disasters for America, but Cruz would be the larger disaster.

this statement comes from someone who defines america as the government and not be someone who defines america as individuals.

GO CRUZ!

Yet Trump supported Tarp and said the banks must be protected.

Cruz got a loan from his own margin account. I can’t understand why people are offended that he got a loan from his OWN ACCOUNT to fund his campaign.

If you notice the Trump supporters are pushing the meme that Trump is different than both parties and he’s a deal maker and will bring the best of both sides together to get something done.

Notice how the dems other candidate Sanders is a full blown socialist and Ted Cruz is being painted as a “Right wing extremist”.

Now compare that to the Clintons “Third Way” meme which they started pushing in 1998-1999.

Communism on the left capitalism on the right Third Way would bring together the best of both.

Donald J. Trump is running the Clintons Third Way campaign which was surprise! surprise! dreamed up by Robert Reich with his New and Improved economic theory from his days in college with the Clintons.

Actually, it WAS his own money. He borrowed it from his OWN stock accounts. This is similar to taking a loan from one’s own 401(K) account. And then he paid these loans back. Honorably.

trump, on the other hand, took hundreds of millions of loans from Cities and Goldman Sachs, and DIDN’T PAY THEM BACK. How much do you think they paid to own trump? I’d say hundr Ed s of millions of dollars. At least, trump IS a good negotiator: he sold himself for a lot of meney.

... At least the liberals realize who the real conservative is.
Trump supporters are mainly not conservative. They don’t care about conservative values. They trust the donald -— with absolutely no foundation for that trust —
He will not govern as a conservative. They do not care.
He will make deals with dems that leave us more in debt, God help us he will not appointment a conservative to federal or SC justices.
They think the donald will save this country. They have not thought to through.
They don’t even care that he is becoming the establishment candidate.
It isn’t a conservative thing.

... Bottom line Cruz is the best Establishment candidate out there, but he is still Establishment. I can smell Establishment a mile away.
So why is the establishment starting to line up for DT? Lolol.

Apology accepted! I naturally trend towards sarcasm it is deeply imbedded in my personality, I do understand that many do not see it as obvious as I do, but I really don't think about it; it just happens much like some who use fowl obscene language (which I despise but tolerate) as a form of expression I use sarcasm, thus I rarely use the /s tag.

I pulled the following from your profile page because it represents my thoughts on Trump:

"The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda."

Obama was once described as The Magic Negro likewise I see Trump as The Magic Cracker while on the one hand he is speaking magic words while with the other hand he is pulling a rabbit from a hat.  Trump has many talents one of which is he is an illusionist, he is wowing many with his act.

Ted Cruz 2016... he is a Constitutional Conservative and this is what we need to restore, protect and defend our Constitutional Free Republic, it will not happen by magic.  I suspect that many who now call themselves conservative would not like it if the constitution was once again supreme. There is a great deal more to our constitution than the pressing issues of the day as a result many fail to see the loss that will come from sacrificing our core for the enticement of personality.

Cruz is far from perfect but he is as close as one can be these days and as close as any has been for a very long time, he is not one to be worshiped but he is one to be appreciated for his life long dedication to values that are represented by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

The Establishment has decided that they can wheel and deal with Trump. So we will see.

Trump is the equivalent of calling napalm air strike on your own position being overrun. Sometimes its the only choice.

Reich failed to mention of the two, only Trump is Constitutionally qualified to be President.

Spot on!

We are overrun with exceptional conservatives (They are Conservative, except_________ (fill in the blank)).

Sadly, those who think their little bit of the totalitarian juggernaut should be preserved for fun or profit are the ones who will preserve the entire thing, one bit at a time.

It's how we got in this mess, and unless matters of principle take precedence over the cult of personality the march to totalitarianism will only continue, double time.

Because since 1990 I have been voting for a party that has tried to personally wreck me and my family thru legal immigration via H-1B and I cannot do that anymore when I finally have a choice. Cruz is on the Chap Labor Express™, I know it. I can feel and sense it. He may pay lip service to slowing down h-1B but I just don't believe him.

Trump may be the same but I am gibing him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm sorry it is my fault I failed to communicate my sarcasm,(it can be as much a strength as it is weakness) I would like to refer you to my latter post of explanation to another freeper which I will post again below.
