Kind of hard to say you are not part of the “establishment” with a list like this.

[RitaOK]

I didn’t know that Bob Barr (R-GA) had moved to Texas. He saved me from having to vote for Romney, in ‘12.

Where is Jeff Sessions?

Oh, I forgot, not a single senator has endorsed Ted Cruz and this list is only of representatives.

[Skooz]

You left out Esteemed Freeper Skooz.

Just an oversight, I’m sure.

[beandog]

I see you’re Beck, Nut and raise you Michael Savage, Trump super Nut.

[Red Steel]

General Chuck Yeager for Trump.

[mkjessup]

That’s quite the list.

Hope they’re all prepared for some major butt hurt next Monday night.

[Eddie01]

I don’t see Sarah Palin.

[napscoordinator]

Reverend Jerry Falwell just today

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Did I miss them/ I could not find any U.S. Senators!

[justlittleoleme]

Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura....

[Terry L Smith]

I don’t give a hoot who the hangers-on are, or by listing them, does the candidate get any ‘street creds’ for it.

I see a few names of losers.

I see a few names of the GOP-e.

SHOULD Mr. Cruz acquire the Republican nomination is when I will decide on him.

He is, after all is said and done, a first-generation immigrant son, and that has yet to be settled.

I, on the other hand, an a Nativist.

[Eddie01]

You think Savage is nuts? Borders, Language and Culture summed it up for me. Government Zero was great as well?

I don’t get how you compare a crybaby drunk to a learned passionate well written man?

I love Cruz btw.

[jennychase]

Are they endorsing Canadian PM or someone else?
