Says who? Can you imagine a Cruz vs. Hillary or Cruz vs. Sanders debate? There's not enough popcorn in the world.

Rand Paul did himself in in the last debate. He came across as a real jerk who can’t control his temper.

Perry is out of money. Christie - the fat slob bastard who hugged Obama - is toast.

Rubio I originally liked until he sold out to the Uni-Party over Scamnesty.

It’s TRUMP for now as he has no need of money from anyone. Cruz for VP.

I’m hoping Trump will one term it and Cruz can take over and do two terms.

Never heard of the guy—nor of the publication in which this appeared.

Good analysis - except for the last paragraph.

Hell if you put Ted Cruz in a debate against Joe Biden, Biden would endorse Cruz for president and walk away wondering what the hell happened.

It’s actually a pretty well-known journal. I believe James is a libertarian, if my memory serves.

I agree it is Trump and Cruz.

I love the way the main streams, the country club repubs, and the so called pundits (Glen Beck).

Are nay saying

Pop more pop corn, this is fun to watch.

And Hillary is melting like the wicked witch in Wizard of Oz!

The only way Cruz beats Jeb Bush is if the Dem primaries become important enough for Dems to vote for Dems instead of in the R primaries for Bush.

With the good ship Hillary appearing to take on more water almost daily, this may be a real possibility.

Because he is the most conservative and that is why the GOPe and media will not let him get it.

Groovy

Trump wins - we win

Cruz wins - we win

The Republican team bench is wide and deep. Lot to like and a few not to like, but ya can’t say the same about the Rats.

Hillary gonna be presented with an ultimatum, like the one Goldwater gave to Nixon, the man she hated so much: Leave now and the prosecution ends. Stay and you end up on trial.

She’s gone. Even the Evil Party can figure that out.

Here in the Democratic People’s Republic of Alta California, I’m seeing more and more “Bernie!” bumperstickers in the last 2 weeks.

Hillary, like always, is yesterday’s girl.

PS

Trump is planning to win and he owes nobody anything. Good luck to the party “insiders” trying to dislodge him. The Rockefeller Republicans thought they could do it to Reagan - they did in ‘76 - but he prevailed. Trump is in far, far better position.

Good question. It depends on whether Perry is the vindictive type or the pragmatic type. If he's vindictive he'll endorse Bush or Rubio, if he's pragmatic he'll endorse Cruz based on the fact that having another president from Texas is good for Texas.

I think Walker will be long gone by the time they get to Indiana.

I’ve said the last several months the 3 finalists will be the guys with the dough: Cruz, Trump, and Bush

I hope he would have the foresight to recognize the latter. I don’t think I’ve ever heard whether or not Rick is the type to carry a grudge.

This is why all conservatives should give humble and hearty thanks to Donald Trump. While rattling both the Democrat and Republican leadership, he is also providing a lot of cover to the conservatives, taking innumerable cheap shots they would have been getting, while the conservatives get stronger.

The real losers here are the anointed establishment candidates, supported by big money a mile deep but only an inch wide. But that money is not accomplishing anything, as even with million dollar advertisements, they are still boring drones.

First, count on the other insider insurgents to flame out or fade.


There’s that drinking game comment, again...

Who knows, Perry might seek a position in a Cruz administration. Weaker than I would like on some issues but I’ve never heard any serious allegations that he’s dirty.
