“The parallel’s between Lyin’ Ted Cruz and Obama are stunning aren’t they?! “

Actually, the parallels between Obama and Trump are much closer.

Try narcissism to the nth degree, try whining ‘It was someone else’s fault’, the complete lack of social moral character, etc.

Cruz momentum started when he took aboard his campaign the Bush cabal and Neil. Sadly the momentum is the same disrespect that the GOPe foisted on us in 2008 and 2012 resulting in a Kenyan in the WH.

I just find it so interesting that FreeRepublic posters,being erstwhile conservatives, absolutely forget their principles when it comes to Donald Trump. Ted Cruz has been and is the most consistent conservative in the race. Attention is placed on mythical foibles while his rock solid Reagan credentials are ignored.

I think they have started on Cruz, they want him to get the nomination, then they pick his bones

Try LYING to the nth degree! Lyin' Ted said the voters "spoke" in Colorado when the voters never cast a single vote for him!

Cruzlim's just love it when the voters can't cast a single vote against their guy. Talk about narcissistic.

NEWS FLASH: The presidency is a political job. It requires an astute politician to be successful. Who has shown a higher aptitude as a politician in this race? (Hint: not the Donald)

This could be the Cruz dirty secret.

Was his Mother and Father married at all when he was born?
Daddy was married to another woman and never divorced?
His mother no longer US citizen?

Could this be why Ted has sealed records?

Let’s face it. Trump has a liberal past. Trump supporters ignore that fact, because Trump, much like obama, is a blank slate politically for many people, and the core of his message resonates. Cruz is not the squeaky clean conservative his campaign made him out to be. He is FAR from the evil lying insider bastard that Trumpster’s make him out to be, though. He is the mosts conservative candidate in the race. Saying otherwise just shows how much kool-aide one has drank.

In the end, the enemy is the Democrats, and having hillary, Bernie, or whoever is the nominee voted in the office will literally change the country forever. With a Supreme Court position open for seating, the next president, who ever they may be, will be able to either save the Republic (or at least stave off for a while its demise), or put in place an ultra liberal majority that will be able to opine our rights away forever.

People on the right need to figure that out, quick. I’ve advocated not voting for a GOPe candidate. I still stand by that should the GOPe decide that one of two candidates that have, combined about 85% of the people’s support are not the nominee. In the end, Trump, or Cruz is much more preferable than any socialist the libs put forward, and any GOPe candidate put forward.

.....Ted lost me and lot of other people when he stood by and smugly criticized Trump for inciting the violence that was planned and caused by thousands of Soros-funded violent demonstrators who shut down Trump's attempts to speak in Chicago. That shows Ted is without principles, much less the ones he claimed to represent. I mighta gotten over Slick Ted calling Trump supporters low-educated and low-info, and his dicking around with Amanda Carpenterbut when you ally with Soros, you are gone Game over man, game over......

Amen.

The presidency is a political job.

***********

That’s one way of looking at it but it can also be
considered a managerial position. You have to manage
assets all across the political spectrum and world.

Exactly. That said, I have asked freepers a dozen times-—OK, if you don’t like Trump or Cruz, please name your preferred GOP ticket that meets your moral/ideological threshold and can win in November? I never get an answer. They don’t like Cruz or Trump but neither can they name a viable alternative.

No. He is not electable.

People wouldn’t be motivated to turnout for such an unlikable man.

What has first term Cruz accomplished in the Senate except being a grandstanding gadfly and a pariah in his own party? What executive experience has he had? Do we really need another career politician in the WH?

Regardless, the GOPe will not allow Cruz to get the nomination. Cruz is the vehicle to a contested convention, which will nominate a GOPe candidate whether it is Kasich, Ryan, or some other “fresh face.”

The problem is that Ted can’t wheedle Electors from the General Election. All the states that Ted would want to win are those who have “Faithless Elector” laws that keep them from denying voter wishes. Go look at that map.

That's retarded. Cruz has no plan that involves enticing electors to be faithless.

Not the same thing at all as getting delegates selected who support you.
