He will have Mexico build the border wall. ROFLOL, not going to happen that would cut off their flow of income to corrupt politicians and drug cartels.

Over the last week or so, Trump’s script regarding Ted Cruz sounds like it could have been written by Karl Rove.

We shall see.
This week so far, it has come off as the other way around.
Time will tell.

GOPe is not doing Trump’s bidding, Trump is doing the GOPe’s bidding"""".........

That's exactly what I think now. The plan came together now that Trump is to big to lose it, they feel FREE to come out of the closet and support him.

Art of the Deal....pretend you don't like something..it will be GIVEN to you.

Well somewhat it is, but I don't blame the massive Trump movement people for this entirely.

We all want real change, we are so hungry for "THE ONE", so a person as loud and boisterous as Trump will be like a magnet. There he is, the one we have been waiting for. There but for the Grace of GOD, went I.

....admittedly I did too, unashamed to now say the blinders finally came off, and just this last week.

For me it was the "I want to WIN" that kept me in there, but always a TRUE CRUZ supporter as #1...

CRUZ for President is what I now want and at peace in saying it.

I'm with you. If you look back far enough through my posts I was very pro trump. Went to see him here in OKC. Posted pictures etc. My blinders came off a few weeks ago.... After the past couple of weeks I moved to the percentage that would NEVER vote for him. I mean the guy is attacking Cruz for calling McConnell a liar? Seriously?

KJAM22........ how strange is this? That many are taking the blinders off because of the feelings we are having in these last few weeks.

Strange or the Holy spirit telling us something?

Something is moving us and I for one will heed the message I am getting. Gut feeling or Holy Spirit? I believe it's the Holy Spirit....curious to hear if any others are getting that feeling.

It was like a light bulb went off when he started his needless attacks on Cruz, but getting worse by the day with his Pretenses of being a Christian. The man has no shame.

Worse still.......he blames others as Hellary Clinton does.

"They don’t care. Seriously, its a cult of personality.

Here is what you don't get

We are in a war with Marxist globalists and we are at war with Islam and we are losing both wars. The country needs a leader that is unabashedly an American that will defend America, rebuild the military, secure the border, defend Christianity, bring back manufacturing jobs and deport illegals. Prior to Trump getting in, NO ONE was talking about any of these things. NOBODY.

If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead are we the people are screwed. That is why we the people are getting behind Trump. It got zero to do with right/left. It's survival.

And excuse me, defend Christianity? Is that before or after he said that Pamela Gellar needs to shut up and stop trying to upset muslims?

No the GOPers have spent the last 7 months trashing Trump 24 7. I’ve never seen a candidate attacked for so long and by so many as Trump. So the idea that Trump is an establishment tool is laughable. However I do think some of them (GOPers) are waking up to the idea that Trump might just win and are trying to save their sorry butts by playing nice with Trump.

That is not true. Cruzs’ worked for the state Texas and defended the state of Texas before the SC. Had he not the state of Texas would have fired him. Also it was a no brainer that the USSC would rule that the USSC is the ultimate authority over US law, not the World Court. W is and always was a fool.

We do not have an ignore feature so no I can’t ignore you. But I can correct you when you post idiocy like “Seriously, its a cult of personality.” If anything resembles a cult around here it’s the Cruz bots.

Who has called for a halt to Muslim immigration, who will sent the refugees home? Who will ally with Russia to really take out ISIS and other terrorists gangs in the ME? Who will built the wall and repatriate illegals? Only Trump.

What is not true?
That Cruz had to work or get fired?
I’m not sure I am following you here.
He was part of a private law firm at this point, and did not need the job, it was an appointment.
I don’t think getting fired was a big issue here.
He would have just gone back to practicing law.
