“I can vote for Rubio easily.”

Rubio is pro-amnesty, big time. With amnesty, the country is over.

Rubio has already betrayed the citizens when he schemed with Schumer against them.

I will NEVER vote for amnesty.

If you do, you will get it.

The purpose of the GOP in 2015 is to block conservatives from stopping The Cheap Labor Express.

A vote for Rubio or any other amnesty pimp s a vote for the death of the rule of law and America.

I love Cruz, he needs to be on the Trump team somewhere - even in his current spot in the senate. Cruz is a killer right where he is.

But Cruz will not beat Hillary in an election no matter how brilliant he is at debating.

“America at this fork in the road doesn’t need a brilliant debater and orator, it needs action and results on the ground. Trump has a proven track record in that arena - no one else comes close.”

Those are my sentiments precisely. Everyone was going ga-ga over Cruz’s “brilliant” performance at the debate. Hannity was twitter-pated over it. Well, Trump has been fighting that fight for months by himself and has been raked over the coals for doing it.

During the first two debates, Trump was receiving most, if not all, the incoming, and no one stood up for him. This time, they all started receiving it, and, being buoyed up by Trump’s previous defiance, started firing back.

Here’s the problem with that, which “conservative” candidate could actually beat Hillary in an election??

The answer as I see it is none.Trump can actually beat Hillary. His rally crowds prove that beyond any doubt.

Trump as president aligned with Cruz right where he is in the Senate would be a killer combination.

There is one cheating tactic that the GOPe has previously used to its success in the McDaniel-Cochran primary. That involves hiring Democrat operatives to turn out dem crossovers. This is a Uniparty tactic and can be used in open primary states.

And if me sitting home sacks this country and what comes from it is a real conservative movement then so be it. I refuse any longer to vote “the 2nd best thing” voting Rubio is voting Democrat. Since I won’t vote democrat and he is the only option I won’t vote. Democrat light is still democrat. The more the establishment sees low voter turn outs it may sink in.

Trump is far more conservative than Romney is/was.

I can live with a Trump/Cruz ticket. But not with GOP-E candidates like Bush or Rubio. Those guys are liberals.

I don’t understand that thinking at all. It seems spiteful and resentful. Remember “resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

That is what got Obama elected in 2012.

Trump as president will obviously align himself with conservative values on issues that really matter, like economics. Plus he listens to the American people like no other. His rally crowds prove that.

We heard this same schtick last time, fire brimstone. What would you tell your grandchildren when Rubio is elected and those that are in the middle realize he isn’t the conservative he professes to be? The. Upon this comes 50 years or more before a real true conservative is ever voted in because the brand is ruined forever, you either fight for principles and what is right or you don’t. Voting for a RINO is EXACTLY the same as pulling the lever for a democrat. At least this way my sitting home sends a clear message, I’m not being counted until you place a real conservative on the block.

We agree. I would like Cruz to stay in the senate and keep calling out liars like McConnell. WE need attack on all fronts, Cruz as the senate attack dog is too valuable to give up.

IMHO, in order to get Cruz we will have to do it through Trump. Trump has a wide base. That is why I am supporting a Trump/Cruz ticket. That should get us through 16 years.

False, what got Obama voted in last time is GOP-e sending a democrat. You mean to tell me had I voted for Mitt he would have governed any different than the present occupant? Please, he is lock stock and barrel Obama. Just like being told in 2012 vote us in let us take back over Congress and we will do xyz. How many iterations of this does it take before conservatives wake up out of their drunken slumber?

Cruz will be a good teacher for Trump. He's already proved that. I think he can do that best as VP.

And no matter what, he's done what I wanted, which is to change the discussion to Constitutional issues. The Libs can never reverse that.

I'm not always looking to win an office. Sometimes I just want the rhetoric changed to something that makes libs uncomfortable.

I don’t agree that Mitt was an Obama clone who would have done nothing different. He’s definitely not a Cruz, Trump, or Carson though.

Can a VP be appointed to the supreme court?

Eventually. It doesn't all have to all happen right now. That's a lib trait and how small children behave.

Cruz as VP would be the President of the senate. I don't sneer at that office.

“Cruz as VP would be the President of the senate.”

That has been a figure head do nothing position - yes Cruz would be outstanding at that bully pulpit. Wow.
