Ben Carson is going to get a big jump soon. He followed in Trump’s footsteps in Arizona, where Trump had to upgrade his venue to the Phoenix Convention Center.

Carson was going to start at a very large church that seats about 2,800. But he is now upgrading to the PCC for an estimated 6,000. He will likely get a huge boost to his momentum, if he does well.

I completely agree that the economy is stagnant, but it's hard to collapse when you are already on the floor.

I watch the stock market every day, all day...it's been taking a pounding this summer but is still quite resilient.

As an aside, resilience is a very healthy sign for the market, which is why I don't panic when it takes a pounding. A sickly market behaves like a sick animal. It doesn't bounce back after a pounding.

This summer the market has withstood the problems with Greece and now China. That's a lot for one brief period.

The economy is a big issue for the Presidential election. If Trump wins, we will see some incredible spurts of growth. After about 5-8 years of excessive growth, we will have a major correct (ala 1987).

Cruz is virtually tied with Bush.

Jeb Bush 9%

Ted Cruz 8.5%


That’s is something to celebrate?

I see it.. and agree he could WIN... i.e. Trump..
Reagan didn’t “take off: until close to the convention..

It’s true many conservatives are bamboozled.. I’m not blind..

The facts remain: Trump is UNTESTED, UNPROVEN, UNCONFIRMED ..
Even as a conservative let alone as a republican..
A MYSTERY MAN.. Thats some good Snake Oil(he’s got) many buyers..

It’s mostly TRUMPoHOL though.. makes you FEEL GOOD..
CANNOT cure a conniving treasonous heart.. i.e. democrats and rinos..

OUTRAGE causes people to do silly things.. i.e. vote for TRUMP..

BE different if “WE” didn’t have Ted Cruz.. but alas we DO..

How would Trump get things thru Congress?.. by making DEALS...
DUH!.. Which IS the current situation and PROBLEM..

Basically whats WRONG WITH Congress.. is deal makeing bribery, this for that, negotiations to water ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Down..

Trump has no problem with watered down legislation it’s the DEAL that counts..
EVERY single democrat operates like that in Congress DAILY and many republicans..

Trump is no FIXER... he will continue the PROBLEMS.. UNLESS he makes them WORSE...
How could they get WORSE?.. Good question?..
TRUMP operating exactly as Obama did and does.. Unconstitutionally.. bypassing Congress..
He knows how to deal with a corrupt Congress being himself CORRUPT.. i.e. crony capitalist..

Ted Cruz would DO much of what Trump suggests EXCEPT by restoring the Constitution..


So then it’s time for Cruz to step it up like an “out in front” candidate with a message and get some of the oxygen back that Trump sucked out of the room. Yes, it may not seem fair at this point, but that’s the cards that are dealt. We known he’s smart, we know he’s a constitutionalist, but he’s got an image of being part of the problem by virtue of his position as sitting U.S. Senator (i.e., part of the problem and with his position on trade and visas). How does he overcome that and get out of single digits (in most polls, admittedly, not all) and get traction? Or is he going to be content running a “stealth” campaign, or whatever it is called?

Nearly 54% of the Arizona vote is for non-politicians (Trump; Carson; Fiorina). Add in Cruz's 9% and it's 63% for the good guys.

Pretty damning indictment of the GOPe if you ask me.

Problem is mainstream America is not voting for Cruz...this time. Best to get Donald in, tear it up, and pave the way for Cruz or someone else like him. Cruz is too young.


You get that from Miss Cleo?... it’s still very early in the game..
Even if the the MOLE(trump) WINS.. Cruz should be the next President..

Trump is a RAP artist that cannot sing just imitates Mussolini.. like RAP artists do..

Cruz SINGS in tune pitch perfect.. is tested, proven, committed and confirmed..
Trump is none of those things..

Trump is a MOLE

Do you have any evidence of that or did you just make it up because your candidate has yet to take off?

Actually, that’s exactly what Trump is. That’s how he got so rich. And look at the way he has completely taken over the campaign and the media.


Simply; Trump is the ANTI-Cruz Missle of the Crony Capitalists..

He is NOT for getting rid of Crony Capitalism he is for SAVING IT..
He’s IS their MESSIAH... wholly in the race to STOP Ted Cruz.. not the other Drones..

Ted Cruz threatens Crony Capitalism at the heart..
They know with a Cruz President the “JIG” is UP quite literally..

And “THEY” (democrats and rinos) CANNOT have that..
Cruz scares the bejesus out of them..

In a Cruz Presidency the Crony capitalists would be in the slammer unless they moved out.. AND “THEY” KNOW IT..

to wit: The Anti-Cruz-Missle——> TRUMP..

** if you think Trump is FOR America well he is, except the current America.. under democrat and rino control.. with a few changes to throw conservatives a bone..

YOU Know......... LIKE USUAL..

Er, Ted Cruz approves of Trump. They are friends. Might even be his Veep.

You would think that Cruz would be calling Trump a mole now if he really were...in fact, it would be Cruz’s duty to shout that out. Instead, we have some likely Mole calling Trump a mole while pretending to support Cruz. I’m just sayin.

Trump has what the others don’t have, and that is a proven organization. He has a company that employees marketing people, lawyers, smart thinking people. They are bound to already have the internal infrastructure in place. Communication systems, networking etc. Bring on a handful of political people who can meld into his current organization and he is a formidable machine.

It’s timing.... Cruz is strategic dont spend when you don’t have to...
Trump is doing the BLOCKING.. running for the touchdown is a matter of timing..

Trump should be used like the Rented Donkey he is..
Quite brilliant the way Cruz is handling it to... imo..

Cruz is a brilliant debater and speaker.. far smarter than trump.. (thinks he is)..
use Trump until he is all used up..

Before you start whistling for the real conservatives..
Who will make or break this election...

** if voter fraud.. isn’t the decider..

Brilliant campaign strategy. All except for the part that has the candidate in or near single digits and fourth place or lower in nearly all the polls. Run the best campaign to avoid getting the nomination?

Actually I approve of Trump just like Ted...
He’s running blocking... need blockers..

friends just may be stretching it... that word is used loosely..

Cruz could and would serve Trump.. as Veep..... to save the country..
(A)BUT would Trump serve Cruz in the cabinet.. you know to save the friggen country?..
With Cruz.. Mike Lee is the best Veep..
Assassinate Cruz and you get a very pissed off Mike Lee..

I doubt it.. that question(A) that will never be asked.. the answer would be Sooo exposing..
