So because someone says they don’t like Trump that makes them a Jeb supporter? Trump is going to surprise a lot of people who take him seriously when he either drops out or decides to run as an independent, and either scenario would help Hillary. Sure, he says the right things, but so do a lot of people who are not going to be president. For the record, I like Cruz, but we’ll see how it all plays out.

Remember when we were stuck with Romney in 2012 as our nominee? Some of us decided to put on our big boy and big girl pants and vote for him instead of the Marxist Kenyan. Guys like GeronL and others were calling us RINOs and Liberals. I’m simply applying their own logic to them.
It really is sad (read: pathetic) that guys like GeronL are siding with the Leftist media in trying to destroy one of our candidates!
Also from FL...
There are no "favorite sons" here. No one supports Jeb! or Rubio! because they are somehow connected with FL. The GOP primary race here is wide open. For all practical purposes, very few people here are going to make up their minds before the SC primary, much less NH or the Iowa caucuses. Part of that is that very little campaigning is actually going on here, and I suspect some of that has to do with Guilianitis, meaning the disease of thinking as a candidate that you can skip over the early states and concentrate on FL. By the time the process gets to FL, the choices for all practical purposes will be down to three or four, and I wouldn't begin to guess who they would be.
Remember, this time four years ago, the trending name was Herman Cain, with over 20%...
Amen bros...I don’t know what’s so hard about appreciating what he’s done for the debate and the shots he’s taken at Jeb - and still realize at the same time that his conservative cred is almost non existent.
Yet, it’s too hard for many.
Remember all the tears that’ve been shed for poor illegal immigrants living in the shadows?
Well, maybe it’s time to shed tears for the poor wimpy Republican candidates who’ve been living in the shadows because they haven’t had the courage to speak up forcefully on important issues like Donald Trump has done.
America has serious problems. Either Ted Cruz and the other Conservative hopefuls stop dancing like butterflies and start stinging like bees a la Donald Trump, or they might as well get out of the ring.
It would be impossible to fully explain the stupidity of that comment/question.
Thank you! Jeb is not rising.
True, the thing that worries me about Cruz is that he’s running a mushy nice guy campaign......the PAC too I fear. Why can’t they see???? Cruz has a much longer career of fighting for conservative principles than the Donald.....
America is fast headed to not being a country but a doormat in a no man’s land.
If someone can get that to stop, that is infinitely preferable to not getting that to stop. Trying to govern the ungovernable is an exercise in self flattering vanity.
Cruz and Donald may well end up back together.
Scott Walker is all of three points behind Trump in the latest Fox poll and that’s considered “in the dust??”
Do those Jeb supporters actually believe he could beat Hillary in the General Election, really?
Heck, I think he would lose to Bernie “Women fantasize about being Raped” Sanders.
I think Trump is apolitical. The question is, if he were president would he set back the leftists(Democrats and GOP-e) agenda?
I once thought the McConnell and Boehner were conservatives and that merely voting Republican would cure this country of its ills.
“Why would any conservative support Trump...
idiots all”
Trump has all the trustworthiness of a snake in a henhouse. He’ll never get my vote.
I imagine I could hold my nose for Trump but it would not be an exciting vote. I’d hold my nose to vote for Jeb too. After all, I have been holding my nose voting for so long now.....McCain wasn’t too hard to vote for but Romney was. George Bush Sr was my first Presidential vote in 1988 at age 19 and I really haven’t had great pics since.....the second George W vote was pretty easy. The only one I would send money to is Walker. Well if Santorum got the nod, I send him money too. I can’t imagine sending my hard earned money to anybody else.
Ya, lets stick with the career politicians. They’ve done such wonderful job the past 30 years. They’re trustworthy, Trump is not!
Go team!
Since you and GeronL are the purveyors of all that is conservative, why don’t you two run for office and show these other amateurs how it’s done. After-all, I’m sure you two have been perfectly conservative in each and every area of life with absolutely no exceptions...right?
Hey, maybe you could pimp your book to the GOP candidates and get them up to speed before the debates?
He ran as an indeoendent years ago. That didn’t work out so doubt if he will do it again
I think you are right on the money. Methinks Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are locked in together as a team. Both are outstanding verbally, tell like it is, and could care less about the low life Obamabots & Clintonites!!! The Obama media has been making total fools out of themselves as they now operat in full panic mode!!! These two guys realize they got a real MoJo between ‘em. These two gents together as POTUS & VP are awinning combo big time. And.....yes, Trump & Cruz, will carry the Hispanic vote!!!
Unlike, most African-Americans......millions of Hispanics have successfully assimilated into the general American society over the last 200 years and, are full blown Americans. They rarely took handouts...and when they did....they made sure their children got the tools to succeed on their own without government assistance!!! The problems in the current Hispanic community result from illegal immigration problems...but the Hispanic community is much larger and diversified then that!!!
I thought it was 10 billion. Of course you can’t trust the new sources to get it right.
Fair enough. And I voted for Romney. I don’t care what people want to call me because of that. He wasn’t ideal to say the least, but how could anyone think we wouldn’t be doing better today if he had won. It was a vote against Obama, nothing more, nothing less.
