Yes but with a desk like that how can he be criticized?

.@realDonaldTrump Q2: You’ve said you “hate the concept of guns.†Why the change? When did it happen? What’s the 2nd Amendment mean to you?

But question No. 4 generated the most pushback, with responses like: “Are you his pastor? His God?†“None of your business, nosy.†“I want America great again! No more Isis rapist thugs. No time for petty personal crap.†Others, though, thought the question good: “Past deeds can show future actions.†“If he would betray those closest to him for his own needs, why not the rest of us?†“If you want to be POTUS, character matters.â€

Now, if he were only a conservative.
Now, if he were only a conservative. I see him more as an opportunist who won’t be able to keep his hands off his own empire while in the oval office.
Sorry but the restoration of our Constitutional Free Republic depends on more than just dealing with the most pressing issues of the day, being on the right side of some of those issues does not a Constitutional Conservative make.
There is so much more at stake we are losing our Republic we need someone who has spent his life studying and fighting for our founding principles in and effort to preserve, protect and defend those founding documents, only one has proven a willingness to challenge those who would disregard and/or shred those same documents without regard to whatever personal damage it may cause. Only One!
We don’t need any more so-called leaders who would find our constitution a burden and an obstacle to his dictates with its limiting of power, no matter how popular it may be to do so.
I suspect after reading so many comments and the foolishness expressed therein, that if we were to return to our constitution reigning supreme many so-called conservatives would not like it much.
Cruz is solid and I’d vote for him on the general election and look forward to election night, where he has a decent shot at getting 150 electoral votes.
I've been saying it for a couple of weeks now......he shut Hillary up on her "Republican War on Women"! We've not heard another word from her about it. Trump handled the now mostly defunct, Clinton Machine.
I'll also add when the site of the Twin Towers was being rebuilt at an extremely slow rate, Trump was all over the news begging to be allowed to be put in charge. He said then that he could do faster, cheaper, and taller. His heart was in it.
In addition, I believe that Trump is a man of his word. I've not seen any stories of him cheating anyone in business deals or making bad deals.
I think Trump is an honest, hard working, American who wants to see our country on top again.....not #3 in the world!
How many days have we heard the establishment is now for Trump? And now it is revealed a Mitch McConnell toadie is running a Ted Cruz super pac.
But does Cruz even have a CHANCE?
This is America’s last stand and it’s not about conservative values. It’s about our Borders, immigration, the economy, taxes, healthcare, education and Jobs for Americans! If any of those are conservative values fine, if not, fine too!
True, Trump has been willing to sacrifice his own brand for the sake of his newly conservative posture–a sign that he is serious.
________________________________________________
How has his brand suffered ? If anything he seems to be gaining in popularity and the businesses haven’t declined at all.
Right! Cruz attacks Trump just like Macys did. How’d that work out for Macys?
Sorry to burst your theoretical bubble, but we need leadership, not a constitutional scholar.
There is a difference between talking like a conservative to fool people into supporting you and BEING a conservative. Truman’s so called conservatism is 180 degrees out of phase with his positions of just a few years ago.
Trump is NOT conservative, but he can win and has put an “R” next to his name, so...
He’s gonna build The Wall and kick out the muslims, then make America great again.
Hope&ChangeTM
We’ll see I guess.
Based on the all-out push by FNC and others this morning to advance Rubio/Kasich I wouldn’t be surprised if Cruz finishes third in Iowa and worse in NH.
Then clearly it must follow that Cruz is not a nasty man whom everyone hates.
On immigration, his plan is a ruse. He will deport illegals (although a Federal court will assure that mass deportations will soon be short lived), and they will then come back as legal immigrants and future Democrats, RAPIDLY. To expedite the process (so that his kids' hotels don't go broke), vetting will be a joke but for the worst of violent felons and possibly aliens from Muslim countries (so much for national security). At that point, said former illegals and future Democrats will be eligible for more Federal benefits. Deportation would then be voluntary. The wall will have a big beautiful door.
What's not to like?
Once they are naturalized, Republicans will lose both the House and the Senate and (given the current demographics) never get them back. President Bailout will then get to play, and he is a lifelong ardent crony capitalist. What jobs?
I remember how I used to think that Duncan Hunter could be the next conservative president... ;o)
The Buckley Rule was formulated by a man who ran for office only once and came in a distant third.
Yes but with a desk like that how can he be criticized?
