absolutely not.... it is the TRUTH that they shared about Ted Cruz that I agreed with. Remember, liberal or RINO groups sometimes will inject a wee bit of truth amid their tainted news....
Trump is serving a cause and if he ends up the nominee, I will most likey vote for him. But TRUMP is ROMNEY with blond hair, and his BIG SELLING point is the border. YOU are NOT hearing a lot about socially conservative issues from his speeches and I tell you he IS a RINO that wants the borders closed.... that is how I see it.

Those fools are so self-interested, I can see McConnell supporting him just to get him out of their “club”. It’s a good selling point: either you confirm Cruz, or he is going to torment you until you quit or lose your reelection.

Trump couldn’t be less like Romney if he tried. I lived in MA during Romney’s entire pathetic, disastrous tenure as gov. I know what I’m talking about.

If a hard leftist site, known for dishonesty and progressive propaganda, such as Politico, was cheerleading my candidate again and again, it would cause me grave misgivings. But I don’t have to worry. Politico would shoot itself in both feet before writing a positive article re Trump.

‘These attacks will be all but forgotten in the U.S. by then.’

You’re assuming Paris was one and done. That would be the best case scenario, but it’s not realistic. ISIS has promised more of the same—specifically naming the UK and USA as future targets.

A series of attacks is a different story. The post I responded to said the Paris attack all but elects Trump. An isolated terrorist attack in a foreign country a year ahead of the election will have no effect.

“I don’t think he can win a general election. I think he would get beat really bad, said the first source from another campaign. But I think he can win the nomination of the Republican Party.”

Yeah beat bad like GHW Bush, Dole, McInsain, Romney... All the most electable according to the GOPE. Throw in W with his two skin of his teeth victories and the GOPE has the perfect formula for getting the “most electable” candidate the nomination.

I will take my chances with Cruz in the general election anytime or even Trump, at least they will fight and actually run for the office not show up for an ass kicking and pad their bank accounts throughout the campaign.

Unless there are follow-up attacks, even the Trump sycophants would get tired of hearing the same thing over and over for a year.

Love Cruz, but I do not thin he could win. Trump should take the Presidency with Cruz as VP. They get the conservatives, workers, traditional Americans and Hispanic votes. The rest of the GOP gutless back room wonders will have to follow. I think Trump may burn himself out in the first 4 years and Cruz can move forward.

BTW a good source said it was ROVE the now FOX news a$$h0le who got little George to go with the immigrant seeking big business.

It is still an assumption that ISIS related events are isolated. Before the smoke in Paris had even cleared, Obama forced 10,000 Syrians onto unwilling Americans. We hope not a single one is ISIS. Time will tell. But nothing related to ISIS is isolated. Rest assured of that.

I keep thinking of that song by the Who (I think), “Won’t get fooled again.”
