“I don’t believe I can vote for Trump. What he’s done to his cult of supporters scares me.”

Hey I get it Trump hasn’t sent out any shaming letters or tried any dirty trix on any of his opponents. Its just not normal. :-)

Regardless of your opinion Cruz talked all around at least 2 questions without coming close to an answer. I will say that he did an excellent jobs some questions. But he still skirted answers on others.

Why don’t they believe? Why are they Cruz deniers?
The Lord has sent us a messiah from Havana by way of Calgary yeah unto the very gates of Austin. We only have to believe and accept Cruz into our hearts and we will be saved and Cruz will heal our nation. Yea send him unto the very gates of the heathens in Washington. He will smite the liberals and smite the GOPes and yea even the RINOs, and they will they will feel his mighty power. He will be seated on a mighty throne in Washington and the members of Congress and yea even the priests of the Supreme Court shall bow their knee to him. For he is the mighty Cruz and the deliverer.

Go Trump!

I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t follow. My only goal for a president is someone who is capable of carrying through and achieving results. Trump is a problem solver.

I imagine you are supporting a candidate from the political field. Why? What result or solution has ever occurred because of politics? My heroes are people like Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin and others who saw a problem and sought to solve them.

Our country and government is in serious trouble. Policy wonkers from the political class will never do what is necessary to solve anything. To the contrary, all they’ll do is pass all encompassing reform packages that solve absolutely nothing other than create larger government and lesser liberty.

Trump may be unorthodox but he does love this country and knows how to get things done, such as building a wall on the southern border. I’ll guarantee that no politician in the race will build it.

Here is a video of Trump from 1991 appearing before the House Task Force on Urgent Fiscal Issues. CSPAN

Trump is a serious individual no matter what some people claim.

Yes, he did an excellent job of answering the question, with depth of knowledge with such great articulation that much may have passed over some heads, but not that audience as they heavily applauded as they listened intently to him.

I do appreciate that the moderators did not behave as the others, they did not interject themselves and allowed all to speak with out interruptions. Best debate ever this cycle.

You sure can spin I said he did well on a couple of questions. He babbled all around some questions with no answer. You spin like a dem but I know you aren’t one. Don’t pick up such nasty habits. Truth is your friend.

ObamaTRADE was signed because dirty-tricker Goldman Cruz voted to allow the vote.

Cruz voted against cloture.

presidential elections are about, above all, just two things: our security and our prosperity

And with that premise, this article jumps off a cliff and dives headfirst into the rocks. Because first of all it is about trust in the competence of the candidate to do the job.

Even so, the article then argues "what is unfathomable about Cruz is that he has dealt himself a royal flush while Donald Trump is holding, at best, a pair of deuces. Cruz has presented the most impressive proposal in the field for creating a roaring Reaganesque recovery."

He then goes on: "On taxes, money, and trade Cruz's proposals are sensible and defensible. Trump's ideas do not hold up even to casual scrutiny."

But what are these proposals, or Trump's proposals? They go unmentioned.

Cruz good - Trump bad - It's 1984 folks.

I didn’t listen to the whole debate, but I did listen to a large segment of it, and I can tell you that Trump also had some long dry spells mixed in.

expanded in depth, which may have been over your head.

I assure you that Ted Cruz is not "over my head." No way, no how. Never. He just doesn't say anything.

Trump people here have their marching orders. They are pinged to show up like the deadly roach or mosquito on any thread favorable to Cruz. They are inarticulate cultists but they are enjoying themselves.

Yup. They're pretty easy to identify and skip.
