And mentioning. I’ll be saying this when I encounter those posts, for the benefit of anyone else reading. If you don’t mind, that is. I can ping you and say it’s your thought if you like. Don’t want to steal ideas I didn’t come up with.

How ironic that Trumpeteers claim that Cruz supporters are so hateful and are turning people towards Trump.

I’ve never found a Cruz supporter to be anything but polite and cheerful about Cruz’s attributes and avoiding the nasty comments about his opponents that are “stock and trade” for Trumpeteers.

Cruz sets the standard for focusing on the issues not trash talking his opponents.

Trump does just the opposite.

Leadership by example is a winning quality.

Five Trump voters in my house are NOT interested in voting for Cruz, with or without Trump in the race.

Feel free to make it your own, I don’t need any credit. As long as we keep Cruz and Trump fans on the same page. There are a lot of Cruz fans here who see no need to savagely attack Trump. These people are worthy of a great man like Cruz.

It’s becoming more obvious to me that both Trump and Cruz are in some kind of partnership right now, and the true Cruz fans here are aware of it and thus act appropriately by treating Trump and his fans with respect.

Yes, you do troll the Cruz threads. Why such aggressively dismissive vitriol toward Cruz? You find him a threat to Trump, and so feel obligated to tear him down whenever you get a chance. Otherwise you’d just ignore these threads.

Only if they become more educated.

Most Trumpets seem to resist reality fiercely.

Cruz has done all of the important “grunt work.”

All of the conservative ideas in the campaign came from Cruz.

Neither Trump, nor Carson have the slightest idea what the issues and realities of this campaign are.

Cruz has taken on the power structure single-handedly.

dforest is nothing but a low level troll.

Save your effort for where it really matters.

Trump has earned nothing but disdain for playing with the primary as though it were his TV show.

We need reality, and we need it now.

I think so too. Trump and Cruz have been treating each other with great respect. That meeting they had months ago might have cemented an agreement between them. Trump already said he’d like Carson in his cabinet, so why not Cruz who has vastly more government experience and would be a great VP pick?

“Trump has earned nothing but disdain for playing with the primary as though it were his TV show.”

Disdain from whom? The former Scot Walker supporters that now hide behind Cruz to continue their bizarre crusade to demonize Trump because he is winning?

In other words he connected with voters better than the person you wanted more so now you have to belittle his success as him “for playing with the primary as though it were his TV show”.

“We need reality, and we need it now.”

You’re soaking in it, Madge.

If you bother to read some presidential election history, anything that Trump does is mild and still less showy than what has occurred in times past.

Wake up.

There are twice as many voters that Trump didn’t ‘connect’ with as he did.

The majority see that Trump is a path to loss in the end.

You’re welcome. I used to not like Trump but then I read up on him and he really does have the best chance to win.

Everyone else will lose to Shrillary just like Romney lost to Obama. Trump has the kind of crossover appeal that none of the others have. Blue-collar white and black Dems will vote for him. They would never vote for Cruz or any of the other candidates because they’re bought and paid for by the billionaires. I’m not sure about Carson though. He might be independent as well.

Trump has zero chance; he has over 60% negatives among GOP voters.

Cruz has the best chance as he is continually picking up all of the non Trump people as others fall by the wayside, and he has the best numbers against Hillary and Sanders.
