Sometimes it is very disheartening to read polls and subsequent remarks/opinions and I feel compelled to give my opinion:

We, conservatives, have waited...how long?...to have a real conservative run for presidency. When I was listening to Rush, I vividly recall his saying...a real conservative with strong conservative ideas is an absolute guaranteed winner.

Well, we have a true conservative, and what I am seeing and hearing...especially surprising from Rush...that Cruz, an admittedly true conservative...cannot WIN. So, people say they will vote for someone who is likely to win. Does this make any sense at all?

If we, as supposedly conservatives, cannot support Cruz, including Rush, because of some fixation that he cannot win because he committed some infraction or did not have “charisma” which, obviously from this post, has no bearing on my decision, then I have no hope for the republic.

We simply cannot be trusted to place the survival of the country above petty crap and I actually am beginning to adapt the feeling of “I don’t care.”

Bottom line, we had the chance to prove what we said we wanted, by supporting the one person who could give us that and we punted. Very depressing.

Cruz needs charisma. My mother says there is something about him she can’t like in the way he comes across. I’m pretty sure my mom has never been wrong, not that I listen ..haha. My mom loves Trump and hates Megan Kelly or Kelly Megan or whatever her name is!

You can’t or shouldn’t believe these polls. I was called by Rassmussen last week. My answers make it appear I am a minority democrat who likes Trump and thinks the country is going in the wrong direction, oh, and I have no savings and a low income job and spent no money on extras in the past month. Polls and the census, the only time I lie for the fun of it.

That statement is an out and out LIE.

You NEVER heard Rush Limbaugh say, imply, infer, that Ted Cruz cannot win.

PISS OFF.

Did you see this on Biden? Put out by none other than Lanny Davis...

“...whether Joe Biden is a threat (he’s seen as a “buffoon”)...”

You joined up today to tell us you 'don't care'? Do you sense the contradiction? It feels liberal...

We do not know that cruz cannot win but we do in fact know that Trump is no conservative
