I can’t believe Im about to say this.
If our primary arrives and Trump is in a position to win, I might switch from Cruz to Trump. Especially if it helps him beat Jeb or some other mealy-mouthed moderate ass like Bush or Kasich.
It’d be pragmatic for me to do so. I can cross my fingers and hope that he has some special plan for Cruz.
Trump is just awesome on this OAN speech .... Just completely off the cuff, off the top of his head .... Hitting hard against it all — he’s fantastic!!
“Politicians in Washington... All talk, no action”
“Military, jobs, and vets .... “ Those will be priorities.
Trump on Hannity at 10pm tonight on Fox News for one full hour.
Don’t worry about Cruz if Trump keeps doing the right thing:

Ted Cruz: ‘Foolish’ for GOP to criticize Trump
He says that it is dangerous to dismiss a candidate with this type of drawing power.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday warned that the Republican presidential candidates who are slamming Donald Trump do so at their political peril.
Cruz’s remarks, which came during an interview with POLITICO as he swings through the South on a bus tour, are among the most detailed comments to date regarding his reluctance to criticize the real estate mogul, who is currently leading the polls in the GOP primary.
“I would … note that an awful lot of Republicans, including other Republican candidates, have gone out of their way to smack Donald Trump with a stick. Now I think that’s just foolish,” he said.
Asked why, Cruz paused and then replied, “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. [to which] between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016. I’d like every single person at that rally to show up and vote in 2016, knock on doors with energy and passion, and turn this country around. If Washington politicians show contempt and condescension to those [voters,] that is a path to losing at the ballot box.”
And when asked whether he wants those voters to eventually support him, he replied, “It is my hope to earn the support of the supporters for every other candidate in 2016.”
thx for posting
Yes!! I have never seen an election year with so much enthusiasm since Ronald Reagan. Mark my words it will be Trump / Cruz 2016 =)
Yet we Trumpers support Cruz if need be. Cruzers are hateful. And they don’t get that from Cruz. I question their true identity.
Yes he was GG
he had notes and he looked at them very occasionally (put them in his pocket on the way out) but i think he speaks from his heart. if he is a dem plant his brand is cooked. i don’t think he’s a plant. i think he is just pissed off like us only for different reasons.
I saw the whole speech live on OAM....One America News
It was great!
Thank you, that was awesome.
is there a replay? i missed the beginning.
Cruz is much better conservative than Trump.
However if Trump is polling at 18 and Jeb is at 15, and Cruz is at 7, you have to make a decision.
Do I want to be pragmatic and vote for the candidate with better chance to win or do I vote to feel good. It is a difficult choice.
I have been following Reagan’s advice. Vote for the conservative who can win. Because when the election is lost, the purest conservative becomes 100% powerless. So basically the only choice is 70-90% matching agenda or 0% agenda.
Funny how you posted your snark 45 minutes before his speech ended. I guess you dont need to hear anything he has to say.
FAIL TROLL.
Guen—it was great, I agree!
I watched the press conference and the speech. Have a good feeling about both.
Trump can bring back the America I once knew—before the Bushes, Clintons and the Obamas screwed it up.
He is not being asked questions. But you knew that.
Cruz reached out to Trump early on.. Don’t be surprised if a Trump/Cruz ticket happens.
