You have long been one of my top people on the Free Republic, and that goes back a long long time. This is one example of how praiseworthy your posts have been. I salute you for your comment.

I have supported Cruz after I saw him introduce Sarah Palin at CPAC March, 2013. These are his words:

“The Main Stream Media wants the Conservatives to accept defeat. The Main Stream Media wants us to be timid and hide in the corner. And the Main Stream Media is absolutely convinced women cannot be conservatives. And if they are, they especially cannot shoot really big guns and hunt grisly bears and moose. Let me tell you that’s why Governor Sarah Palin drives the Main Stream Media bat crap crazy!” You can watch it here:

Over the year, the dynamics have changed and we have Trump who is poised the run the table. We are witnessing a pivotal place in our nation’s history and I am lucky to be here for it.

I’m sure it will. It will last about seven minutes on SNL.

Start holding your breath now.

Actually, Sasse has a much better rating than the CR 80% of Sessions.

I fell for that in 2008 and 2012. No more.

So does Sasse think Ted Cruz will go 3rd party? Who else fits the bill for a 3rd party constitutionalism candidate?
crickets...


Cruz will never go third party...He worked for Bush, voted for TPP, etc.

Prediction based on some internet reading:

Cruz will endorse Rubio in exchange for a SCOTUS spot.

We yearn instead for the recovery of a Constitutional Republic.

That's the key, and we'll never have it with Trump.

I’m not advocating the lessor of two evils vote

I fell for that for too many years, too.

This is different, and you know it.

I *know* it isn’t any different. Trump is no conservative.

I don’t have to bring anything on. Trump or Hillary will bring it.

Sasse is lying. Trump disavowed Duke when he learned who Duke is. Duke hasn’t been in the news in 30 years.

If Trump, and his supporters, getting screwed would eliminate the republican party I’d be willing to see it happen.

Duke has been rejected by conservatives... time and time and time again... His re-appearance reads to me more like a sabotage attempt on Trump. IF he really supports a Trump presidency he would have kept his mouth shut.

David Duke Urges His Supporters To Volunteer And Vote For Trump

"Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage."

Trump dodges on David Duke question: ' I know nothing about white supremacists'

"..."You're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about," he said, when asked if he would condemn Duke.

He said he would do research on the "groups" in question and would then decide if he would condemn them.

"I have to look at the group. I don't know what group you're talking about," he said. "You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about.

"I have to look."

Fred Trump may be why Donald Trump will not answer questions about the Ku Klux Klan.

Sasse’s benefactor is none other than Mike Simmonds– the fast food pioneer who has declared that he would only support candidates that endorsed “complete amnesty”.

Nebraska a state that elected Ben Nelson, Bob Kerrey, and Chuck Hagel... This guy seems to fit the typical Nebraska senator type. All hat and no cattle.

“As of now, Trump is favored by about 1/3 of the Republican primary voters. Isn’t that something short of THE PEOPLE?”

The election process isn’t complete, and of course no one is going to be the nominee with only 1/3 of the Republican electorate in tow. At the same time, Trump has much greater numbers than either Cruz or Boobio. It will indeed be interesting to see where the votes go when Either one of them drop out. The single digit guys have noting of consequence to contribute.
