I’m just looking for a simple “yes” or “no”.

Is 2ndDivisionVet spamming?

He has thus far responded several times, yet not answered that very simple question.

Ted Cruz struggles to break 25% in the Republican polls. Think how badly he will do with independents. He would be a disaster in a general election.

Who cares if he is paid? Why has no one posted any facts or links to opposing data? If it is not true why so many post with out the rebuttal?

Cruz is Constitutionally ineligible to be President, as we’ll find out soon enough if he’s nominated, and the rats bring suit to their boy Roberts and the USSC.

If the Court should miraculously rule that he is eligible I still wouldn’t vote or him in the same manners that I feel the Court overstepped its authority as it pertains to homosexual so-called “marriage” and in ruling that abortion is a “Constitutional right”.

I care if he is being paid.

I care a great deal. And he has thus far, not answered my question.

I am really truly concerned about his health. He needs to take a break. It’s incessant.

Why do you accuse 2ndDivisionVet in such a way? Spam board? What do you call all the Trump ads that masquerade as bonafide new articles.

If you don't like the Cruz articles them don't click on them.

National Disgrace magazine has ZERO credibility.

Lyin Ted Cruz has Zero credibility.

Ted Cruz is a loser. He has already lost. All his cheating and lyin and stealing a delegate here and a delegate there won’t make any difference. It’s over for him. You Cruzers should just give up and join the Trump movement. It is a movement, folks. Don’t you want America to be great again?

GO TRUMP!

Only someone with severe amnesia would repeat the “MISTAKE of 2008!” Why would anyone do that?

Look at the Similarities - then look at the Facts.

“ROOKIE SENATOR” Ted Cruz is “The Republican Obama”

1) Ted Cruz is a First Term “Rookie” Senator who “vacated” his job to run for President (same as Obama)

2) Besides alienating ranking Republican Senators in the Senate, Ted Cruz “accomplished” ZERO as a United States Senator (same as Obama)

3) Ted Cruz never had a job in the Private Sector (same as Obama). He was a “Government Clerk/Lawyer” - PAID by the TAXPAYER.

4) Ted Cruz never held an Executive Position or Created a Single Job (same as Obama)

5) Ted Cruz never had to meet a Payroll or run a business (same as Obama)

6) Ted Cruz is a LAWYER - He is a “Talker” - which makes him a “fine” Politician (same as Obama)

7) Ted Cruz will appoint Political “Hacks” to Prominent Positions in Government, because THAT’S THE ONLY PEOPLE HE KNOWS - LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS! (same as Obama)

8) Ted Cruz will be beholden to Special Interests and Donors (same as Obama)

9) Ted Cruz will keep the “Status-Quo” in Power (same as Obama)

10) Ted Cruz will make a fine “Puppet President” (same as Obama)

11) Ted Cruz is a Zionist. He stated “If you will not stand with Israel, then I will not stand with you!” Really Ted? Israel can do NO Wrong?

12) Ted Cruz’s father, Raphael Cruz, preaches from the pulpit of the GREEDY TELEVANGELIST Kenneth Copeland.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH America! The United States Government should be run by WE-THE-PEOPLE and NOT the USUAL “Political HACKS”, POLITICIANS and LAWYERS anymore! Cruz IS A LAWYER and that’s all he KNOWS how to do is TALK! No Business Sense at all!

America! Let’s also BE SMART and NOT VOTE FOR the Business-As-Usual “Establishment!” Remember the Romney Video on Youtube put out by Newt Gingrich titled “When Mitt Romney Came To Town”. It’s still there for your viewing enjoyment! That’s who supports Ted Cruz!

AMERICA! Don’t make the SAME MISTAKE that we made in 2008 by Electing a “Rookie Senator” (Obama) to the Presidency! It’s so foolish to have the “Establishment” SCREW US OVER AGAIN!

To answer your question, all I will say is this to you and LYIN’ Ted. Ted Cruz wouldn’t even be in this Race at this point if he hadn’t LIED on his Financial Statements about the Loans he had taken with Goldman Sachs for his Campaign ——AND—— the (LOC) Line of Credit he and his wife secured with Citibank —— while “railing against” Wall Street and the Banks during his Campaign Stumps and during the Debates. LYIN’ Ted! Telling the Truth, some of the time...Ripping the voters off, ALL of the time.....

You still have not posted anything to refute what 2nd posted. Stop deflecting and show where the article is wrong. Post up some data.

His being paid does not matter if the information is true. Stop being a bully and try to carry on a conversation.

No.

I’m trying to find out if a campaign has hired people to spam my favorite website.

I don’t like that, and I want to know whether someone is operating as a spammer right here.

He still won’t answer my very simple question.

Why? I have known 2ndDivisionVet for a number of years. We have emailed back and forth a lot, and had a very friendly relationship.

This year he seems different. Seems like he is ... spamming. I am just asking him, very simply.

Is he spamming?

Cruz is running surprisingly well in Ohio. The most recent NBC News/Marist poll puts Cruz ahead of Clinton by two points there, while Trump trails her by six.

Just ignore the fact that Trump beat Cruz in Ohio by 460,000 votes. Cruz came in third with 13% of the vote.

There are thoughts that there are paid Trump people on this site. Don't know if is true, but it seems so on some days.

The reason why he will not answer your question is that you are accusing him of collusion.

Things changed earlier this year. People have taken sides. And people don't like being called a liar and being accused of collusion.

Why should he dignify your question with any type of answer?
