The natural born citizen question is arguable. It's possible they want to push Cruz over Trump and then eliminate him by lawsuit after he is nominated.

I have no doubt that the dems will do everything and anything they can to win.

I think you had one too many hits on the pipe and fell off.

To be fair, the minor criticism leveled on Trump on two occasions that I recall is based on the attack methodology he uses.

Most find the tactics to be somewhat contemptible and better saved for democrats. that is the extent of the criticism and that’s minor stuff. But to you and others, it appears, any criticism at all is as if you had dissed the Lord.

As to being a Conservative, I seriously doubt a conservative would use those tactics against another conservative. And You cannot deflect blame to a Pac. This is all Trump.

Trump may have a couple views shared by conservatives, but conservatism is a package of positions and understandings, and Trump does not have them, but in spite of that he appeals to some conservatives. But he also appeals to democrats.

Cruz people are going to CNN, HuffPo, National Review, and Buzzfeed.

Well, there you go. You can be just like them. Congrats.

You would also never find a liberal who wants to seal the border, send illegals back, defend the 2nd Amendment, stop the free trade deceit and bring jobs back, rebuild our military, and actually fix waste, fraud and abuse.

Maybe Trump isn’t conservative enough for all but it’s not right to say he’s not conservative.

“Trumpophiles would quote the devil himself if he had anything negative to say anout Ted Cruz.”

Not true. I like Ted Cruz. I stood up and applauded for him during the “we’re going to fight back against your stupid questions” debate. I would love a Trump/Cruz ticket.

It’s the churlish, childish behavior of his supporters HERE - who relentlessly insult OUR LEADING CANDIDATE and everyone here who supports him - that I don’t like.

Conservative, they also eat their own first.

IMO, it’s Republicans that eat their own. A true conservative is introspective and self critical preferring rational debate over the politics of personal destruction.

It’s a contributing factor to the reason why we have a hard time getting elected or establishing mass appeal. very few can do it but when they do, they do it with class.

Pfffffft, VP is a nothingburger and u know it.

That suggestion in an of itself is a thinly veiled patronizing slam on Cruz so don’t play holier than thou with me.

Hmmm.

I say “I would be happy to have Cruz in the VP slot” and you call that a “patronizing slam.”

Wow. You Cruz people sure have thin skin. I hate to see how you’re going to act when your candidate loses.

Why not? Cruz supporters here go to HufPo, Slate, and Salon to post anti-Trump; stuff.

What's sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander!

The Left wants Trump. He makes deals with them.
You mean like trade deals? Or giving free reign to Obama/Kerry for Iran's nuclear bomb along with $150 billion and nothing in return?...Oh wait that was Cruz's "deal" with the Progressive Obama.

Sorry pal, you’re not near as clever as you think you are. Most can see right through you so just give it up.

I am so disappointed in Rush. Today he detailed how Cruz is using push polls to find the best attacks for Trump:

Never asks God for forgiveness
Was a Democrat
Is still a liberal

No Cruz said it, Rush reported it.

Yes and he even said trump was not a conservative....

I missed that are you sure or just blowing smoke?

I know for a fact near the end of his show las week, he was trying to address the various claims that Trump is a Liberal. Rush said, I know Trump and he is no liberal.

“Sorry pal, you’re not near as clever as you think you are. Most can see right through you so just give it up.”

Do Cruz fans do anything except personally insult other board members?

I’ve got an idea. We Trump people can all PM Jim and try and get all of the live threads covering those giant live Cruz rallies banned...

Oh, wait. I forgot. There aren’t any.

(Sorry if that wasn’t clever enough for you).

I didn’t hear that piece, another poster did. I did hear him say Cruz was doing pus polls and that’s just the nature of campaigns. I also heard him say that for all those out there who accused Rush of letting Trump off with the liberal thing, that Rush had said “the other candidates would take care of that’ referring to Cruz going after Trump.
