Yammering on about Cruz is the best for ... or Trump can get... is silly boyscout stuff. Who care what any writer the issue of Cruz or Trump — it means nothing but a biased push...

The only thing that matters is a REAL VOTE in a real voting booth... and the results thereof ... everything else is dog doo doo ... and is not worth the electrons to display it on a computer screen...

GET A LIFE ... go out and knock on doors and promote your guy ... endless harping and carping are worthless ...

I get a lot of free advice here and most of it is worth exactly what I paid for it.

I have a lot of respect for Ted Cruz. However, I think he is currently being used by the GOPe in order to deny Trump the necessary delegates to win on the first ballot. When the GOPe influenced delegates are free to vote for whomever, they will abandon Cruz like a hot potato. Hell, then the Republicans are free to nominate Jeb Bush like the GOPe has wanted to since last summer.

In my opinion if the Trump and Cruz supporters do not work together, neither are going to be happy with the result of the GOP convention. With no cooperation, neither Trump nor Cruz is going to win.

I was for Cruz before I became indifferent to Cruz. NR is one of many reasons I became indifferent to Cruz.

Wasn’t it just two days ago that Donald said were he in office, he might approve selling malfunctioning missiles to Iran, just to hobble their progress and security status. What? That’s not something he should even be joking about, at least not publicly. Donald shakes my confidence when he does dumb stuff like that, shooting himself in the foot over and over.

Get a grip, please. Trump said that as opposed to US handing over Iran's frozen assets of $150 billion dollars and watch them use it to buy missiles from Russia, China or other countries.

So, it's not so dumb as you finding fault with him saying it. Obama, Ted Cruz, and Congress allowing a terrorist nation to build WMD's in ten years and funding them while they do it is rather dumb.

Vet has served the country a lot more than I, and I’m sure most of us have.

He doesn’t post hateful responses. He posts threads that are not zotted, and last I checked Jim Robinson was the boss around here.

I’m voting for Trump in five days, but do we now turn on patriots because we don’t like the guy they’re voting for.

I’m all for 2ndDivisionVet, I have supported him here for a number of years.

I was challenging him today, and was satisfied with his answer.

He is evidently (not) spamming commercially.

That does not mean he’s not 100% incorrect, he is. He should urge his candidate to stop fighting Donald Trump, and we should all start working for the same person to beat the one the democrats send out.

But he’s not it seems, spamming commercially.

I don't think he's paid to do this.

He did this for Palin in the day, and I am certain he was not paid.

He's just shilling for his candidate, really believes in him.

He's a pretty good guy. He may be overzealous, but aren't we all at this point.

Just my opinion.

Whenever I hear that Cruz should drop out - I get it. I don’t believe he should though. And the last few days I kept thinking of “The Man in the Arena” by Teddy Roosevelt. (Also “Was it over when Germany bombed Pearl Harbor!!??):

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Of course, the above fits for Mr. Trump (and Kasich, perhaps) as well.

He actually answered the same question on another thread. If anyone wants the answer I suggest they do a little research.
