Ted Cruz's responses at the 1st GOP Debate

Why do the American people tolerate this state of affairs?

Apathy.. but TRUMP.. has electrified some of the apathy..
Defibrillation of (some) apathetic hearts.. ZAP!..

Trump is a mystery, unproven, untested, unconfirmed.. as a “conservative”..
People just like his style.. chutzpa, political nakedness..
I do too... quite a show and showman.. but alas; UNtested..

He’s ZAPPed some people.. others still walking dead..
TRUMP could live(survive) in a Socialist, Fascist or even Anarchist environment.. he’s playing FOOSball..
I doubt he has any real ideological beliefs..

or was he even a democrat?.. except to capitalize on it..
which, by the way, he did.. He lives in the current reality..

He could just as easy go socialist as he has done already..
fascism is more friendly to business..

Hes “smart” and knows THIS election is “IT”....
the “JIG” is up for either democrats OR republicans..
Democrats are out for destruction.. always were really..
He “smelled” some of that... and didnt like what he smelled..

Question: Who’s the perfect one to expose the democrats (and be excepted by democrats) but by another democrat..
Trump has credentials to democrats..? Republicans tolerate him..

Like you I feel he will be “exposed” in time.. but maybe not..
CRUZ... is proven, tested, confirmed.. as conservative.. no other candidate really is ..
Not even Walker.. who can slide.. leftish..

Trump has ten foot pole marks all over him..
BUT indeed the very man to expose democrats AND RINOs..
which he is doing..

I am not sure he would make a good VeeP.. positioning him for a future President which might be a mistake..

Good Show eh!... Be advised the democrats KNOW Cruz or Trump would “FLUSH” the Washington D.C. TOILET..
AND they are making big plans for voter fraud..

EVEN IF Hellary over comes her negatives..

No it’s not what he says. It’s what he is. Trump is ‘old school’ and he is not controlled by others so women feel relieved because they don’t need to think he has an ulterior motive. They see that he is respectful to women (unless they are disgusting) and that he simply wants to make America great again. So it’s simple to lean towards Trump because they feel secure that he’s powerful and strong enough to do it on his own.

All the others are sales persons trying to persuade women they are the best choice but they are all controlled by the reality of corporate money with the exception of Ted Cruz who has more hard money support (direct donations from voters) than anyone else and is busy raising grass roots awareness.

Most women are raising children or have raised children or are sisters or friends to others who are raising children. Donald Trump makes it so easy for them to firm up a decision in support of him because when their children ask who are all these people running for President and which one is best, it’s easy for them to explain Trump.

Because the reality is that most every American will never have any substantial interaction with a President, they only experience the ‘tone’ and style of a Presidency. Women do not have the time to follow every detail of political developments and happenings. They need a simple image and explanation.

“Donald Trump is a strong and powerful man who wants to make America great again” fits the bill.

For Ted Cruz, women may have to explain intellectual elements such as the nation’s founding documents, rule of law, the deceit and corruption in the current political process, the courage of standing for one’s principles, and so on. These are things that take time to absorb and ponder. Many women are simply too busy trying to get through the day, especially if they are raising children, to be able to hash through so many issues. But women who are actively seeking and evaluating political candidates for trust and integrity will find Ted Cruz at the top of their list because he has a unique ‘sales delivery’. That delivery is illustrated perfectly by Ted Cruz to a woman at a town hall in NH here at time 1:12:40,

Indeed. I have no idea how things will turn out next November. Can The Donald survive scrutiny, and get elected? I really don't know. But I am looking forward to the upcoming debates.

What I do find encouraging is Trump is reaching out to some really solid people to consult with him on policy issues. On tax policy, he has indicated he will be consulting with Steve Forbes and Stephen Moore. On foreign policy, he has said some very nice things about John Bolton. On trade policy, he has indicated that Carl Icahn may be advising him. This, to me, is all to the good.

Fire up the popcorn! It's going to be a really interesting race this time — so many moving parts, so many balls in the air, uncharted territory in many respects.

Thanks so much for writing, dear 'pipe!

Thanks for putting yer hat into the convo over yer curls..

I am also engaged by Trump’s ability to HIRE competent’s and FIRE incompetent’s what a joy it would be to see Trump go through Washington D.C. with a Dyson Vacuum and dose of Ex-Lax... and enema bag(Justice Dept)..

I am, like just, Dreaming.... but fear it may be a dream..
Trump... “Trumping” the Cartels of both party’s I suspect would NOT be ALLOWED.. He would fall victim of some malady.. I’m sure of it... Not with the ham handed approach of the Vince Foster fiasco.. but with a more nuanced “DEATH” or even better slide into “Altzheimers” or Coma.. or even a Heart Attack.. We’re not playing Amateurs here..

Look at the precision Saul Alinsky’s tactics have been played.. beautiful in it’s competency but evilly malicious in it’s outcome.. Not playing with dummies here.. TRUMP is in effect taking on EVIL directly on this planet... not just in the U.S.. Government Evil refined and polished over generations in every part of the World.. Global Evil..

To do what he’s threatening to Do.. would at least the U.S. would hamstring the evil from which socialism, communism and Fascism comes from.. thereby setting an example for the WORLD to see.. The powers that be.. could NOT Stand that..

On otherhand; what if he learned from Obama say whatever you want campaigning BUT do as you please once elected...
After awhile short attention Spans will loose track of whatever you are doing.. LIKE.. you KNOW.. with Obama..

IF-— He is does Good as conservatives EXPECT, or can become a virtual Anti-Christ if he is EVIL... Conservatives are such gullible fools sometimes.. NO most times.. Which answers why Boehner and McConnell are NOT tied to a rail tarred and feathered..

Trump is mystery.. you know like the bible predicts “will come” a mystery man.. Good or BAD... it’s a crap shoot..

I am going with BAD... the risk is just so Gigantic..
Ted Cruz is THE MAN.. Trump as Veep is chancy at the LEAST.. I looking a Veep out of the blue... like Mike Lee..

Be “nice” IF Trump is everything he says he is.. BUT alas I doubt it.. and thinking.. he is.. indeed the Musicman “Fool its all about Fool, starts with F.. and ends with L.. we elect fools”
