I see that Donald Trump is back to 6-to-1 over Cruz again tonight. Very consistent.

You'd think that if there were many more Ted Cruz supporters active on FR lurking in the shadows, they'd step into the light and try to give Ted the best showing possible for the daily FR caucus.

Personally, for active members, I think the daily caucus is a pretty accurate measure of the sentiment on this site with respect to President...

Vote Trump!

That said, the Trump-Cruz wars are not helping us to elect the best possible conservative in November. I want 99% or more of Cruz supporters to vote Trump, when he is nominated, even if they hold their noses. In the event that Cruz wins the nomination, I want 99% or more of Trump supporters to vote Cruz, even if they hold their noses. Offending the other side does not encourage them to vote Trump (or Cruz) in November.

I cannot help wondering how many of those who stir up the Trump-Cruz wars are actually paid trolls taking Jeb/Hillary/Soros money to cause trouble - not all of them but probably enough to set the toxic tone.

I stand by my recurring statement:

Cruz and Trump are both imperfect but they agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such.

[Jack Hammer]

On a purely personal note, I’m getting the feeling that Washington insiders dread having either Trump or Cruz as the next president, and they’re gonna try to pass the nomination to Kasich.
