Wont vote for a polidiot in the primaries with no voting record that just promises what they’ll do.

Obama is proof doing such is a disaster .

But I will vote against a socialist democrat candidate every time.....even if its trump that gets the national nod for the GOP slot..

Cruz gets my vote in the primary here in Texas.

My opinion, didn’t have to quote a old dead democrat to make it either.....

Your vulgar, nonsensical, pathetic, puerile reply to me is not only uncalled for, but stupid.

Little Teddy sucks up to TWO NYC queers and one BIG TIME QUEER in TEXAS ( Texas values ? ) for money, goofs up required a government disclosure form, and you're telling me that that's all fine with you.

Trump is for lower taxes, smaller government, doing away with government waste and fraud, building up our military, taking care of our vets, getting rid of COMMIE CORE and ObamaCare, and yes, building a wall, deporting ILLEGALS, and NOT taking in Muslim "refugees".

You don't know anything factual about Trump and are a pathetically uneducated little nothing of a nobody.

I just dropped in to see how long it took for a Cruz thread to mention Trump.

Only TWO posts! You’re like the MSM - addicted.

sing along......
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Trump!

What Cruz did was a rookie error in what will be a national campaign.

He forgot he was not running in Texas only this time. He had a national audience.

I think Ted's head wasn't lost in Texas when he said this, but he was playing for Iowa in a desperate move to stop his losses there.

He is going all in on Iowa because it is his obi wan kenobi, his only hope.

So he had to sacrifice the national audience to get the micro audience of Iowa conservatives.

Those who are standing up for NY values cannot possibly be conservatives. Cruz may not be the next president, but if his not, the next president will be a liberal with liberal NY values.

I think that is correct.

I take back my charge of *rookie mistake*

This is more of a Hail Mary pass, and if it connects, and Cruz wins Iowa, it will have been a good move.

I think Cruz is exactly right that the rest of the country knows what New York values are. Gov. Cuomo made them clear in the last day or two as did de Blasio. Neither thinks there is room in New York for pro-life, pro-second amendment, or conservative people. I agree that Cruz should double down on his comment rather than slink away. Republicans will likely never win NY anyway.

From people I know and personal observation, you are wrong about ALL ex-pats.

There are good and bad in all groups; natives and late commers.

For example....a whole LOT of people who now live in N.Y. came there from "FLYOVER COUNTRY" and are THE rudest, most liberal, nasty people I have EVER seen.

Did you hear Hillary's statement agreeing with Trump? "Just this once, Trump's right: New Yorkers value hard work, diversity, tolerance, resilience, and building better lives for our families. -H"

deiversity and tolerance. Those are headings for the sub headings of gay pride, abortion, transgender, welfare , food stamps, obammy phone, occupy wall street, 80% obammy voting "conservatives"

New York is a huge state, you don’t win the presidency by insulting a damn state of any size. I couldn’t believe Ted went there it wasn’t smart.

Just recently Trump called the entire state of Iowa STUPID. Whys isn't that getting the same play?

NYC is like vegas. Fun place to visit, but you’re really glad when you leave that what is there stays there.

And many ex-pat New Yorkers live in Texas and helped put Ted into the Senate. Think that THEY will vote for him again? LOL

Oh, I know that. CA and NY have long been like magnets, drawing in the weirdies, homos, and degenerates from flyover states who didn’t feel comfortable or welcome in their home vicinities. I loved that dynamic. Worked for a good half-century. It helped cleanse my favorite states of much of the riff-raff, improving them all the way.

However, the reverse has been hell.

It probably did with the Des Moines Register. All of the drivebys are NYers.
