Where did you get the idea that Cruz supporters were puritans?

The country was not in the same shape when Reagan was elected. Had the Reagan administration been followed by another Conservative President, instead of the George H.W. Bush, a Pussy President if there ever was one.

So now we need a major course correction with absolutely no pussy footing around.

I thought the word Pharisee would be inaccurate because they are Gentiles, not Jews. Perhaps Pentecostal is a better choice than Puritan.

I’m neither Pentecostal or Evangelical myself.

It works fine. Just change to title, and pick a single distinctive word like “vulgar”. That’s what I did here.

Looks like the other one was from a different source.

Cruz can’t even own up to what he said to donors behind closed doors. Trump used a microphone in front of thousands , however.

Because you don’t like what he says, it’s a game?

How about Cruz’s game of intimidation and lying about other candidates. That was a fun game, eh?

If you won’t waterboard (which is not even torture) or REALLY torture our Muslim enemies to save American lives, you are a pussy. Period.

(sigh)

If Cruz can explain wanting legal status and H1B increases, then Cruz. I wish he hadn’t sat out talking about immigration for months nor said “The American people don’t want to have that conversation.” about what to do with illegals here. I think he’s basically honest, so didn’t want to really say what he wanted to do.

I escaped Mexifornia so this issue is #1 for me. An invaded country is a ruined country.

All the others are very obviously pro-amnesty, Cruz is just questionable, so - my choice is made for me ;(

Do you believe Trump is conducting himself in a serious manner right now?

And don’t get me started on which candidate tries to intimidate others...

That’s subjective, but yes. He’s a serious candidate.

Not politically correct, which is probably what you mean. We have been conditioned to expect a certain politician veneer, and it is refreshing to see a real unvarnished human being.

Actually, he is not acting like a business professional, much less someone who wants to be the chief executive of our nation.

If you and Trump were both business owners considering joining for a joint venture, but he was insulting his competitors on Twitter and trashing every industry publication and writer that didn’t kiss his ring, would you have any pause before aligning your company with his?

It’s simple, to me, hisTwitter rants and insults of all competitors and critics are just as demeaning to the office as Obama’s selfies.

How tediously predictable of Trump to act like a stupid teenage boy then want the respect of a man.

so, being unprofessional yourself, you were not asking me my opinion by wanting to tell me I was wrong and you could then tell me yours.

How about Cruz lying about his competitors? And intimidating voters?

That’s a lot worse. It’s dishonest dirty politics.

A campaign is not run the same way a business is anyway, so your silly straw man loses.

I say Trump should continue with that tactic and even go more crude in South Carolina. It’ll pay off in aces.

Talk about cutting it fine! Your posting privilege is hanging by one very small and very essential comma.
