Ted Cruz gave this speech at an anti jihad conference back in February. 29 minutes of absolute crystal clarity.

Rubio is more of the same
He is NOT a conservative
God please help steer us away from this guy. Rubio is a George W Bush Clone - a “compassionate conservative” in TV interviews and a big spending NeoCon the rest of the time.
CW, you were one of the first people I thought of when the news broke.
In the last election, you and I were on the same page supporting Rick Perry. I so appreciated your posts at that time and I remember thinking what loyalty you had to do the research and offer the “facts” not just opinions. This time I am supporting Cruz, but again, you are working so hard for your choice. You did it all with dignity and professionalism. There’s no denying Walker is a good man and did a great deal of hard work for his state.
You did a great deal of hard work for him, and I admire that.
Thank you Cripplecreek.
Cruz is a good man; I’d like to see in on the Supreme Court.
Sadly, the remaining candidates will be systematically picked off (or will stay in until their work to divide the vote has kept Jeb in the running - since he has the $$$$$ to hold on during the picking off, winnowing process).
It’s the battle of the Rush Limbaughs (scores to settle - we can’t depend on the purity crowd base voters) against the entrenched RNC-GOP-e .
Rush L., J. Lord and the rest have decided that they will pick our candidate for us. They believe that they can prop up, clean up after and cheer lead for The Donald (let the others die on the vine) and eventually guide Trump.
How very patronizing and dictatorial of them.
Walker’s capitulation and the reasons for it aside, I find nothing about Rubio for which to vote. The man is a walking,talking heartbeat away from Amnesty and full citizenship for illegals. Anything else beyond this he has to say I don’t want or need to hear.
Last week was sooo carly
I’ve been hard on Walker but I never really got into all of the things I didn’t like about him, primarily because I think we all should be more concerned about stopping Jeb Bush from getting the nomination. I’d have much preferred to let the true discourse between candidates and the support they could garner rule the outcome.
However, in Walker’s closing speech this self sacrifice to “clear the field” so that others can take down [Trump, ostensibly] was a total bad faith move. It confirms why I never really got on board with him.
I know Trump has a lot of problems and a LOT of haters out there, but to me they pale in comparison of what a Jeb Bush as nominee, or even what a Rubio as nominee would be. These two - because of money (first) and GOPe support (second); the others in the race really don’t matter.
So if the plan now is to trash Trump, then I’d suggest you reread “Go Trump, Go” again.
As an aside, I don’t listen to Rush any more.
I’m with odawg!! I support Trump, not because he is a pure candidate (it’s not heaven down here folks) but because we have to get the Marxists out of DC. It is imperative. I am not a lowi-information voter, nor is my husband, a PhD scientist.
Trump came out swinging against Global Warming. He supports the Second Amendment. He blows PC out of the water. He refuses to apologize and grovel every time ‘the Great Moralists’ of the elite demand it. I’m in.
You don't know that. Since his mantra is to make America Great Again, why would he keep steering the ship in the same direction?
He wants to be a successful president in the mold of Ronald Reagan. Why would he stay on course to be the worst president in the mold of Obama?
If Trump gets the nomination he will have a mandate to turn the country around.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Just out of curiosity, what do you have against Rubio?
“Suggestions as to why Walker supporters should now pick up Rubio’s mantle. “
But if you believe the latest polls, Walker doesn’t have any significant supporters for anyone to pick up. And that goes for about six of the remaining candidates. With them each polling from 0 to 2% they have nothing to contribute to the higher ups. If one of the 5%er’s drops out, you will have some movement somewhere else, but all these GOPe spoilers are not in because they have a chance in hell of winning, they’re only there so they can continue to shoot off their collective mouths about how bad the non-politicians are. Until a Carson, Fiorina, or Boosh drops out, any movement will be only by those candidate’s mistakes.
And somehow getting .5% of the primary voters to move to the Rube is really going to help the Rube.
I will never vote for anyone unwilling to uphold the rule of law.
Rubberio showed us how flexible he is when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens.
