Who is my guy? Your post is opinion, which is fine, but is only opinion. No facts or logical argument. Failure.
Yeah, Trump is looking out for Dr. Carson...like when he aided his drop in the polls by calling him pathological, a phony re his faith & a liar...just sayin’...
Look, since I think you might be one who would at least have a sensible discussion.
Trump..nearly no plans laid upon the table other than his tax plan and his immigration plan, which personally, I embrace. Obamacare? Oh, repeal and replace. WTF is he going to submit to CONGRESS to replace it with? The economy, that one is a little more clear since he has indicated he would get people to help with the problem. Yet, he says he wold SAVE social security and medicare. HOW? The general fund owes those trillions of dollars.
Cruz, has an answer to everything...with him and the rest its I, I, I. Well we have seen I, I, I for the last 7 years and that worked real well. That and Cruz is a life long politician and people are sick and tried of the lowest form of life on earth.
Remember this. No matter which ego maniac gets elected, they have to work through CONGRESS, unless its a democrat, then congress means shit and they simply go around them.
Trumps appeal is simply populistic. People are sick and tired of politicians. Like they say, a, politician is the lowest form of life, and the lowest form of a politician is a democrat.
So, the cute little snips and trashing going on around here does nothing but to show the stupidity of those getting caught up in the cult of personality. What happens is people get sick of this crap and it lets the least desirable get an opening to move into the void. I see Bush gaining, hope not, but the polls that was posted from NH the other day had Bush in a distant second. The establishment will win again.
I am not upset about politicians acting deceitfully. That is what they do. Saint Ted of Canada is as capable of sleaze as any of them. Ted has been lying to Texas voters for years. I said if Trump feels he was shafted, he should not take it quietly.
You never had any intention of voting for Cruz to begin with.
Cruz won’t advance you’re liberal agenda and cover up for Hillary and the democrat party the way Trump will.
You do not know squat about me. I voted for Saint Ted all 3 elections for Senate. I actually contributed quite a bit to Cruz after he announced and then I found out he was a Canadian citizen until 2014. That issue, his support for the Corker bill, his vote for cloture on Atlantic and his idea to expand H1B visas 500% has pretty much turned me off to Ted. I am in IT and the H1B thing strikes close to home. My biggest issue is that Saint Tex hid his citizenship status in his Senate campaign. I would not have voted for or contributed to a Canadian citizen for Texas Senator. If you want to think I am a liberal because I think we should elect Americans who do not lie about their citizenship status than go ahead. I do not really care what a name caller like you thinks about me. Saying I support Hillary is just plain ignorant. Have a great day.
That should read cloture on TPA. Iphone typing issues.
“You do not know squat about me. I voted for Saint Ted all 3 elections for Senate.”
You just told me all I need to know to know I was right.
As I said earlier, I don’t much care what you think. Have a nice day.
If Trump and Cruz are playacting, then I'd expect their campaign managers to "smack them" upside their heads and tell them to focus on Rubio before he "sneaky snakes" to first place. LOL
Well, he lost.
I’m sure you know that Sens. Cruz and Sessions are co-sponsoring a bill to cut off H-1B visas for now and then sharply reduce them.
Ted Cruz has been an American citizen since birth. He’s never hidden that he was born in Calgary.
If you support The Don, then you’re a de facto liberal, because that is what Touchback Trump is.
Ted did hide that he was still a Canadian citizen when he ran for the Senate. I don’t remember him mentioning it. I probably would not have voted for him had I been aware of that. I am confident that I am not a liberal in the modern sense of the word. I don’t much care what you think of that or me. Vote Canadian if you want to.
Was he asked about it? Did it even come up?
I was thinking about how life would be in December 2017 after a year with a new president. When I picture Cruz as president I see no change whatsoever from the way things are today. Not a bit. Stationery will have all new names, but otherwise it’ll be status quo. Cruz knows nothing else.
With Trump, I see a robust, happy, exciting, healthy America.
I do too but so many here don’t see that. A lot of blindness around. lol.
I like your pipe dreams... but I fear that you're very naive. Trump wants what is best for Trump on a given day. Most days, that might even be what we would love to see (kicking the media in the teeth, taking Marxism down 6 pegs, making fiery pro-USA speeches!)... but it is those days that he doesn't that I fear (his vindictiveness, his emotionalism, his mouth, his desire to "get things done" and damn the rules if we must, etc etc etc), which is why he is my second choice. There is no doubt that he is a master at handling the oppositional media, and he has an amazing knack for finding amazing people to fill important roles, and the Conservative movement desperately needs both... but his downsides are just too big to ignore.
You may very well be 100 percent correct in your first assessment, though. It is possible that nothing would change, even after electing the guy who just won by running AGAINST ethanol subsidies in IOWA... the President can only do so much with an unwilling Congress (assuming the Constitution still means anything to anyone)... but the idea that someone is winning by running against the usual "here is what I'll get for you" theme is very heartening and hopeful for me. To me, limited government is all, and only Cruz has walked the walk for 2 decades, in the face of the entire GOP establishment, and calling them out on it when they would backstab us again and again. He earned my support with 20 years of actions, not 20 weeks of good soundbites.
If only we could take the best of both, and put them into one candidate...
No. I do not think anybody suspected it. I know I did not.
