If the only people I had to worry about were rich real estate developer interests, I would sleep very well tonight.

You’re right — you’re a candidate for the bizarre worry this morning.

I’m worried about the bat-chit crazy climate nuts, the food nazis, the public education overlords, the SJW taking over our tax-funded colleges, the terrorist favoring acolytes, the anti free-speech liberals..I can go on.

Real estate developer interests? lol

Correct. Only Cruz among the candidates has such a record of rescuing and upholding our constitution.

I agree entirely. It’s sad to watch FReepers be so naive. It is the reason pieces like this are written. People who really should know better have been mesmerized by the shiny distractions of the snake oil salesman. It explains why we are where we are, though.

Many Trump supporters here are ready to burn the country down together with our Constitution.

Exactly. All the while proclaiming that they're saving the country. It's just a different flavor of Fundamental Transformation.

The reason I can’t vote for Trump is that he is an anti-constitutionalist.

His solid embrace of the SCOTUS’ most extreme legislation from the bench is all we need to know about him.

His wives may be prettier, but he thinks much like Obama.

Oh yay, Conservative Punditry Inc doesn’t go after Jeb or Kasich or Rubio.

It turns on Trump.

This should prove entertaining.

Why not both?

By all account, Cruz is brilliant, an idea man, a legal genius, a historian, someone who knows what to do and where and when to do it. A man with a lot of plans.

Trump, on the other hand, is a person who takes ideas, like blueprints, and turns them into reality, while at the same time selling them to the public.

Much of what the president does is salesmanship. Huge chunks of his time are devoted to ceremonial events and cheer leading.

This is why Trump might be the better president, because Cruz’ time is too precious to waste on ceremonies, dog and pony shows, etc. Cruz needs to be in a place where he can maximize his ideas and bring them into reality.

This is likely not the presidency, but as a justice on the Supreme Court, replacing a liberal. Were Trump elected, then to appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court, it would be a win-win-win for both men and our nation.

To start with, it would make Trump’s presidency much easier, as long as he guided the nation in a conservative direction. This is because by Cruz replacing a liberal, the court would be very conservative, and for many years.

With a firm majority, the SCOTUS could finally take the bureaucracy to task, tearing down the edifices of excess and burdensome government. Using a trick of the liberals, the states could sue the federal government, Trump’s legal council would give a tepid defense, and the court would return power to the states, again and again.

And Cruz might be in this position for 20 or 30 years.

Which line of attack did you like? The Trump is a self-promoting populist leftish carny (true story!) or that he’s been sucking the teat of government largess for decades (he brags about that one!). I’ll probably continue to use both until somebody can show them to be false.

'Trump supported TARP, auto bailout and Porkulus bill, i.e., Trump is for big government and big businesses."

Do you realize you aren't doing Cruz any favors by continuing to post this crap about Trump?

All Trump supporters have to post in response is that Ted has still not taken a stand on deportation.

Ted also voted for fast track and even argued with Sessions about it.

He also said he believed McConnell when his own staff tried to warn him McConnell was lying to him.

I want a Trump/Cruz ticket but every type you and others post this time of trash against Trump it just turns me off on Cruz.

Yes, his eligibility has everything to do with his performance. Had this country not accepted all the twisting of the constitution to make him eligible we wouldn’t have a Marxist leftist in the White House.

I guess though, it’s okay to do it again and get someone who is influenced by North American Union and One World government supporters.

"Negative stereotype" -- quite a crutch, that. Stereotypes have ZIP to do with why I reject Trump and urge others to do the same.

Please open your eyes to facts about Trump, though it's so much more tempting to ignore them.

For example, the man is famous ONLY because he cultivated notoriety. If you think he's famous because of his great business acumen, compare his fame to the nine (at least) billionaire real estate/casino moguls in the U.S. who are so much better at "the art of the deal" than Trump that they out-earn him considerably, the best of whom is worth FOUR TIMES more than Trump's comparatively paltry $3.9 billion. Why have you never heard of them, if brilliant business acumen accounts for Trump's fame?

Trump has a nationwide reputation as a brilliant businessman for ONE REASON ONLY: he marketed himself that way over the past 10 years through MSM venues. That is not a "negative stereotype," it is simple truth. Look it in the face, please, when considering Trump.

McCain attacked Trump earlier this year. Trump defended not by calling McCain out on his bad, flawed politics, but by complaining that McCain isn't really a war hero, because he got captured and with breathtaking arrogance, states, "I like people that weren't captured." (Cue audience conditioned-response laughter, Oh that colorful Trump saying what no one else will say! .. and insulting every POW who ever lived or died.)

While McCain was out there risking getting shot down, captured, and tortured, Trump was home safe a snug thanks to five deferments from the draft, one of them medical even though he had been a star athlete in high school.

"Negative stereotype" -- how about DRAFT DODGER? I don't think of Trump as a draft dodger, actually -- he was in college, I can see him seeking deferments. No, Trump is OUT for me and should be raising serious flags among ALL his American patriot fans, because he behaves like a cad.

>>>It would be nice if trump graciously stepped aside for an actual conservative, and would campaign for him<<<

Tell me the last time a Political Candidate with a double digit Lead stepped aside for anyone, EVER?

I’ll have whatever you’re smoking so I can get on board and I’m a Cruz Supporter.

Crony capitalism is a central methodology of the proto-fascist anti-christ regime we currently endure. It is certainly violently contrary to our Constitution, and thus, we should not elect another partaker in the anti-constitutional methodology of proto-fascism.

Sadly, so many still support this candidate and look past the constitutional conservative, Sen. Cruz.

I have watched the majority of Trump’s speeches in their entirety, the latest being Sarasota. I have been very impressed with his energy, his clarity, his willingness to lay out a concise blueprint of his intentions and aims for multiple aspects of his tenure as President. He has consistently been the leader throughout this election campaign, not just in polling but in his ability to define the real issues facing Americans and to elucidate his stand on those issues. He may be blunt but that bluntness is a gift because it exposes the pretty falsehoods that have been entangling and weakening America for a generation such that it can scarcely be recognized as the home of the free & the brave.

He has a track record of being able to accomplish projects & deals on both international & national scales. He is consistent in his concern for the military, the wounded veterans, the security of America and the rebuilding of the American Dream. And he will build that wall and rebuild a stronger American military to keep our Nation safe.

Or the short version is:
For me too!

YOU'RE logic is convoluted

ABSOLUTE war would break out in the US if there is any attempt to declare Martial Law (the means by which the SC would cease), so unless the mulatto bastard can foist ML upon us, we HAVE 2017 ... but the imbeds are numerous and deep, it'll take drastic and immediate measures that I'm not sure Cruz would implement

The mulatto bastard can accrue a cabinet because of ideology, Trump can do it because of money and American idealism, Cruz will be the statesman/politician and I fear would have more RINO's than Trump

I believe Trump will be a bull in a china shop and I kind'a LIKE that idea.
