"I'm a liberal-left college professor in the social sciences. I'm going to vote for Trump but I won't tell hardly anybody."

Quite common, I'd guess. Talked to a old bud of mine earlier today who said the same thing, followed by a plea not to tell anyone...lol.

Actually if the secret ballot thingy is working, they all would be.

I’m guessing we began to lose our way during Reagan’s second term.

I’m not “anti-Trump” I just prefer Cruz at this point. But I get why people back Trump.

Actually if the secret ballot thingy is working . . .

That worries me. If this election is within the margin of fraud, I expect a whole lot of issues. Those will include voters attempting to vote Trump (or Cruz) in the general election and having "Hillary" recorded on their ballot. I hope living voters will all check carefully. That doesn't solve the problem with dead, fictional, felonious, and illegal voters, but it cuts down a little on the population available for democrat vote fraud.

“Gadzooks. Maybe that’s our Loki right there. I mean, look. We can talk all day about what kind of mass psychosis is leading to Donald Trump.”

Now he might be Loki?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.....The next time he has a rally, watch closely to see if his supporters are doing the Cuban Pete.....

I respect your views. But how can you STILL support Cruz? Isn’t Neil Bush being added to Cruz’s team more than enough proof that he’s sold out to the party elite?

Reagan ran with a Bush. I assume you still voted for him, right?

The answer is because he is the biggest political story since Reagan, and maybe even bigger than Reagan -- not because of who he is, but because of what he represents.

But but but....

Cruz is a true Conservative!

Cruz talks about the Constitution and cites scripture!

Cruz sounds like my preacher when he talks at his rallies!

Everybody likes that stuff, right?

Reagan ran with a Bush

And it's regarded by many as his worst mistake. And now Neil Bush is on Cruz's campaign staff, which is affirmation that Cruz never left his Bush ties behind him. We should stay out of the Bushes. We'll be much better off when they slither away to some enclave, far away.

Bill will be lucky if he doesn’t get a rude to Ft Marcy park before summer. He is looking weak, no longer an asset to her campaign, perhaps even a huge liability.

I don’t get the whole meme of “I’m embarrassed to admit I’m for Trump”. That’s counter to what a vote for Trump represents which is TOTAL REJECTION of political correctness particularly caring what other people think about what you think.

Bill is looking weakly. Not sure if it's the diet or just bad health.

Sort of feel bad for him.

Is he next or GHW next to go?

I read the entire article. The comments were very surprising.
