It’s not about Cruz. It’s about Trump. Look his past actions in the face and defend him. It seems to me the only way you defend Trump is by attacking Cruz. How about defending Trump?
GREAT NEWS! Cruz told campaign event:
He is holding off on attacks on Trump because “he does not think trump has a chance at the nomination! off to google more, this was from FNC tease.
Sometimes it ain’t worth debunking. So much opinion disguised as fact. When you can parlay $2 million into $2 Billion in 20-30 years I’ll believe you that all it took to do that was self promotion and noteriety.
As I said, I do not expect trump to act graciously.
Your posts increase in incoherence. I will ignore you from now on. Parting advice: seek treatment.
You can continue to congratulate yourself on your purity. I think a pragmatic approach may accomplish more. Without Trump I can see Hillary from my windows and that is a descent into madness and third world America. In my opinion Cruz doesn’t have any traction and will not win in any case.
Cruz's ideology trumps Texas' interests, businesses complain
Robert Mercer, one of the largest contributors to the Keep the Promise SuperPAC supporting Ted Cruz, has been the target of radical, pro-illegal immigration activists. Mercer has contributed $11 million. Evidently, Mercer believes Cruz won't be beholden to groups soft on illegal immigration.
"A demonstration was outside the offices of an American citizen, Robert Mercer, who supports our U.S. Immigration Laws and the Candidates who support keeping our borders safe. However, these Illegal trespassers and their Marxist-Leftist-Union handlers want NO U.S. immigration laws -- for them --and Robert Mercer is 'the Enemy'."If you're curious, some of the other major contributors to the SuperPAC are named here: PAC Built by Ted Cruz Mega-Donors Gets Evangelical LeaderTrespassers 'Say NO' U.S. Immigration Laws-For them (NYC) 7-10-15"
Bear in mind, the Cruz for President campaign has received more than 450,000 contributions originating from nearly half of all the zip codes in America. The largest percentage of the donations, by a large margin, are from retired people. The average of the contributions is $73.
Was he “rescuing and upholding the Constitution when he voted for fast track authority for Pres Obama thinking that he would have “cover” by voting against the overall deal?
I have no complaint about Cruz’s bona fides(conservative, Christian, etc.) with the exception that he has showed, through votes this past year, that either he is constrained by donors/potential donors, or he has exhibited bad judgment on those votes. You can say that they all make mistakes, and that is true, they do, but for someone who is touted as being the smartest guy in the room, it was either extremely calculated, caused by pressure from donors, or just a very bad decision. Either way, a signal, to me, at least, he is not ready for President or cannot be “on his own” with respect to policy.
I don’t think hitlery will win. I will not vote for trump.
but I'm incoherent
Missed that Civics lesson in 9th grade hun?
Clinton Revolution is the same as the Obama Revolution to make America a failed socialist state—the go full blown Communist with enforcement at the point of a gun. Hillary is Obama’s 3rd Term. She will appoint him as Sec. of State and he will make a hash of foreign policy. Trump will be a pause from that—will he make America Great? Hard to say. But its worth a try.
It is gong to take a lot longer than that. You forgot to mention Roosevelt, Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Bush, and Bush.
My question wasn’t about Trump, it was about ANY Politician in Trump’s current Polling position. It never happened yet you hope that Trump will be gracious? Why aren’t all the 1% Candidates being gracious?
Heck, Nixon Won the 1960 Presidential Election but he was “gracious” in letting the Democrat Voter Fraud elect Kennedy because he was worried about the effect it would have on the Country. Gracious gets you nothing in Politics.
Being “gracious” got us Obama after eight years of President Bush letting the Democrats control the language.
His usual “it’s just Politics” line in response to the continuous Lies and Slander from the Democrats and the Left got us where we are today.
Keep the dream alive because that’s all it is, a dream.
Actually Cruz and his wife owned by Goldman Sachs are more crony capitalists. Add in Cruz willingness to increase foreign work visas and his crony capitalist credentials are apparent.

“Count me in the “Burn it down†camp.
We’ve tried everything else.”
Except, you know, nominating a conservative...
Think maybe we can try that first?
Or Saunders. That “Seven Mountains” stuff is waaaay too creepy. The left would have a blast with Cruz.
I have looked at Trump's past actions. I have read three of his books, I have watched nearly all of his speeches, and read hundreds of articles about him, his family, and his history.
I wasn't sold on him when he first entered the race. In fact, I didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Once he started making waves I decided to check into him and I liked what I found.
I like that he comes from a strong, responsible family. I like that he went to military school and from all reports was extremely disciplined and a good leader.
I like that he worked with and for his father and learned his way up from the bottom by cleaning garages, and working along side maintenance and construction workers.
I like that he spent every weekend and summer working for his father and even his school mates felt sorry for him for having to do it.
I like the fact that instead of running wild in college he instead bought run down houses and flipped them.
I like the fact that education is so important to him and he believes we need to return respect and discipline to the classroom.
I like the fact that he borrowed a million dollars from his dad and accomplished what his dad didn't believe anyone could do.
I like the fact that he believes in law and order and strict adherence to law with real punishment for lawbreakers.
I like the fact that he supports our military and vets and was doing good things for them long before he ran for office.
I like the fact that doesn't think welfare should be a hammock and that able bodied people should work for a living.
I like the fact that he wants to control our immigration nightmare by deporting those here illegally, building a wall, tripling the number of border patrol and giving them the tools they need, emptying our prisons of illegals by sending them back, and enforcing the laws already on the books.
I like the fact that he wants to reduce the tax burden on the middle class and business along with reducing the size of the IRS.
I like the fact that he is loyal and true to his word and that no one can find any ex employee or friend who will say otherwise.
I like the fact that he has raised a beautiful, hard working family who also spent their time learning by working from the bottom up in his company. The sons operated bulldozers and laid brick. I'm not sure what Ivanka did but I am sure it wasn't glamorous.
And I like the fact that none of his kids ran around or did drugs but rather worked hard and studied hard.
In short, Trump's life is literally an open book and I know more abut him than I could ever find out about Cruz and I like what he is and what he has to offer.
He is giving up a very comfortable life to do this and I am convinced that his only goal is to "Make America Great Again"!
Trump supporters please add what I have forgotten about the things we know about Trump.
Trumps father Fred left The Donald an empire featuring 27,000 housing units in and around NYC. And you believe his spin that he inherited just $2 million! That explains much.
