I love him, but he’d lose 40 states and everyone knows it. Even him.

I don't know it. The opponent (as of now) will be Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Cruz already beats them nationally in polling. Getting back to the "Republican" strategists, more Cruz people will go to Trump over Rubio as a backup. I will, unless Trump makes me believe he won't be pro-life as he says he will.

Try logic:

I’m with you on the NEVER, EVER vote for a democrat part, but claiming to be a conservative & BEING a conservative are 2 entirely different things, apparently.
Talk is cheap. Grand gestures yielding nothing are cheaper.

Regardless of the Mickey Mouse excuses & concatenated thinking behind Cruz’s actual votes, I have yet to see him ACT as a genuine conservative. It doesn’t help anything that he’s shady as hell.
Tick tock.

Go for Trump, he’s a real conservative. He says so. Or, maybe Rubio, how about Jeb. Pick one, you’re a smart guy. They will lead into your promised land.

Girl. Old girl. Not stupid. Are insults really necessary?
Have a nice day.

“We have a candidate that can win New York and New Jersey for once”

Do you realize what you are saying?

Did you even read my post that said Reagan won every state save Massachusetts?

And yes, it is trashing someone when one believes he, using your own words, “but he’d lose 40 states and everyone knows it. Even him.”

1. You are saying he is a loser.
2. You are saying he is stupid as even he knows himself to be a loser.

I posted a basic logical violation. Just like your analysis of a portion of Cruz voters migrating to Rubio. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Let's see- We have a Constitutional conservative, well versed in our history and founding principles-with a lifelong record of defending them-vs- A celebrity with massive appeal- who draws huge crowds, and fires up the people with promises that he's different, that he's going to make government work.

The problem with celebrity guy is, some of us have seen this routine before.

If Mr. Popular is the nominee -We will just have to hope and pray he doesn't morph into Donald Schwarzenegger-Ask California how that one turned out.

Nope, if Cruz supporters are conservative and support the ‘only conservative running’, as they love to brag - why go to an open borders, pro-amnesty candidate? Anyone truly conservative wouldn’t.

So one of the 2 premises is wrong. Either Cruz is not conservative or his supporters are not.

Or both.

:-D Now, THAT will never be an issue.

(I might be willing to accept having the blue dog version around, but I want anyone who even LOOKS like a commie deported immediately. McCarthy was RIGHT. We really, really screwed up not dealing with these people. And it has almost cost us our country.)

A single issue voter are we? Hmmm. Well whatever, everyone can believe what they want. You sound like a Trumpster. Black an white for others, but all sorts of shades of grey and excuses for your guy.

Wow, that’s some illogical spun!

So now you’re agreeing with me, because now you’re saying illegal immigration isn’t important anyway.

LOL!

It’s important to lots of people. That’s why Trump is winning and has for 6 months. And Cruz ended up having to copy Trump shows he knows that.

Nice spin. Just keep spinning, I’m going to watch the debate.

That seems to be a recurring theme around here. He has one percent of the Senate vote. 1/100th of the ability to get things done there.

It is, but there are none so blind as those who will not see.
