Neither is Donald Trump. I wonder what cabinet post Hillary Clinton promised him if he ran as a spoiler in 2016.

I don't know, but maybe there is a post for you in the loony bin if you really think Trump is a undercover operative for Hillary!

Man Cruz is shrewd.

When all the dust clears from Trumps epic implosion, Cruz should get a massive boost.

I don’t know.... I like Cruz and plan on voting for him... but what is scoring points with the public is the “take no prisoners, call it like you see it” approach. Not the nice guy who won’t say anything negative about anybody approach. Sometimes nice guys really do finish last.

“is trying to figure this out in real time as he speaks. “

Yep, time to stop what he’s been doing and go to speech writers and teleprompters.

Trump is not going to implode.

What he will do is offer the MSM a "Malcolm X" to Ted Cruz's "Martin Luther King."

yep. that is one way for clumsy politicians to get around their big fat mouth. Or better yet ... if he is figuring out what he believes in real time while he has already shot off his mouth perhaps he should find another line of work.

I was mocking you.

It appears there may be a number of things you just don’t get, not just Trumps style.

Trump is doing just fine, and his higher poll numbers next week will prove it.

But the senator from Texas refused to join other 2016 Republican hopefuls in denouncing the real estate mogul.

Why should we attack our own when the MSM has launched their calculated divide and conquer war against our party.......

Don't forget who gave us the "Maverick John McCain" for four solid years leading up to the 2008 election........

For bonus points, when was the last time you ever heard the following terms: "Maverick John McCain" and Dick Cheney associated with "Halliburton"??????

McCain killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the USS Forrestal. How many enemy did he kill? War hero or eff up? Get real.

“They fools should just say Trump misspoke…”

I’m sure he did. I watched the interview. He started out by saying he liked McCain, raised $1 million for him, but liked him less after he lost. Trump said he didn’t like losers. The audience snickered. Then when asked about McCain being a war hero, he said he was only one because he was captured. Or something like that. His next statement was the one to make vets mad, saying he didn’t like those that were captured. Too much like the statement about not liking losers, IMO. He just carried the same idea too far.

Cruz is great but his h1b amendment is terrifying. A 500% increase in visas and spouses now get work permits? Thats a lot of American jobs.

Ted, like most experienced speakers, is aware that sometimes, you can say a lot by actually saying very little.

Ted Cruz has tried cases in front of the Supreme Court (and successfully, I might add). As such, his careful use of words would make Hillary Clinton--not exactly the world's best public speaker--even worse in a Presidential debate.

Cruz’s position on legal immigration gives him political cover to solve the illegal immigration problem, which is the more troublesome problem by far. And he won’t get his 5X increase because there will be pushback. That number is negotiable and subject to the political process, whereas we have no control over the number of illegals. Even if Cruz got his way, the number could readily be adjusted later. I see a temporary bump in legal immigration as a small price to pay to finally get a handle on illegal immigration.

...he was offered the opportunity to go home, and he turned it down because he believed it would be dishonorable to accept that.

Actually, he signed papers that he would not accept such "gifts". If he had accepted the early release, he would be a long-forgotten traitor -- or -- have had to entered politics on the Dem side (where he belongs anyway). Accepting early release would have been a punishable offense for being a Jane Fonda type useful tool of the enemy.

Wait! You list yourself as a "US-Democrat" on another Christian website (this is YOU, right?), and now you are rooting for Cruz? Did you have an ah-ha moment?

Having worked in an immigration law office for 7 years, I am familiar with H1b processes and admit I am jaded. But, your reasoning is sound.

Cruz is smart. He knows the only poll that matters is the voting booth.
