>> “ Will that base attract the broader independents and Democrats who swing to the Republicans?” <<

It already has. Pay attention to what has happened in California.

While I don’t expect California to go GOP in the general it is interesting that an actual constitutional conservative is leading the primary polls there.

Cruz has shown himself to be the only electable candidate in either party.

And the no-party guy, Trump, has demonstrated that he fails the standard for national leadership with his loose mouth.

Will President Cruz prosecute Trump for his illegal work force? I suspect that he will have to.

"The fact that Trump, the GOPe, Democrats and media have all ganged up on Cruz confirms it for me."

Absolutely. They're all the same entity.

[cripplecreek]

Trump is all name recognition and hype (Giving out 20,000 tickets to a venue that seats 1,700 is PT Barnum style hype). Cruz is highly favorable.

Remember, the bible says “vengeance is mine, sayeth the lord”

 

Indeed. But as you smolder in an ash heap, remember that Jim Rob says:

 

"Well Bye."

Considering there is also an open Bill Clinton supporter posting pro Trump threads at a high rate still unzotted? Maybe not so much.

[don-o]

What do other people think?

I think you are on the wrong board trying to soft soap pro-life. Folks who have tried that have had a short stay here.

Gallup is even left of Reuters (if that is possible)

This is good.

Trump's Attacks Aren't Fooling Ted Cruz's Supporters

Trump is a "bum," said Tim Bever, 65, who went on Wednesday to see Cruz at a town hall event in Spencer. "I think we see through him. We see a suit, all the money, what goes with it."

True flyover country people have no use for unnecessary nastiness.

Urban people seem to think of themselves as more sophisticated but I don't see much evidence of it.

[Norm Lenhart]

Wisest man I ever knew could barely write his name. Urban types know a lot of things that, as Ronnie said, ‘just aren’t so’.

[jjotto]

Oh, brother!

[Norm Lenhart]

No, you are a flaming liberal POS that needs to find a better home. Like NARAL or Planned Parenthood forums.

[wagglebee]

I thought this was a Republican forum where Republicans can freely debate all issues with all other Republicans.

No, this is a CONSERVATIVE FORUM, we aren't interested in liberal Republicans like you.

[wagglebee]

Who is that?

[Norm Lenhart]

Lib troll. Tis the season to troll Freepers. Fa La La La La, La La, La, La.

[wagglebee]

Huh?

[Norm Lenhart]

Oopps Wrong post. Give me a second

“but the one thing that niggles in the back of my head is that Trump, just before he kicked off, had a substantial conversation with Bill Clinton.”

I like Clinton, but that conversation didn’t sound right to me either. And I didn’t like Trump’s answer when he was called out on it. It sticks in the back of my mind too.

My question is, who told the media they had that conversation?
We’ll see.
