CNN is hosting a town hall at 8 p.m. EST with Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. At the same time MSNBC is holding a competing town hall with Donald Trump.
However, the true blame lies squarely at Bill Clinton’s feet didn’t hear Donald say that, maybe had he amplified his comments a bit and threaded the needle instead of hammering Conservatives, like I said the scorched earth may not work, what if many in the base say he is just too radical or unhinged and they simply stay at home, he can’t win with his ceiling of 35 percent not possible, he needs the rest of the GOPe base to succeed.... Maybe he pulls it off by picking the right VP, I understand that was how Reagan did it again up until the last debate I could easily have been swayed Trump, I don’t think Jeb was ever a threat, he would have been more savvy to hedge and go after Cruz only and didn’t need to bring up the GWB stuff and then keep on going on and on about it.
Just because your repeat it enough times...doesn’t make it TRUE.
Trump should run this clip for a campaign ad because it is so authentic and is why he has so much support from so many people from all walks of life and backgrounds.
And if Trump is the Rep Nominee, these 2 gentlemen and along with Diamone and Silk should be invited to speak at the Rep Convention and have a few moments to speak. We just want someone who is real and willing to fight for our country. Someone who doesn’t rely on consultants and focus groups. The people who are making their living off of Cpacs and politics are not happy because they is how they make their living and they make A LOT of money during elections even if their candidate does not win. The for hire political people, including the Rino media, especially on the Republican side are so worried about losing their own income if Trump wins. Hope Trump continues to expose how much these people make and why they only care about their own salaries which will likely go down if Trump wins.
These people represent a lot of Americans.
I'm very glad people get this opportunity to hear Cruz speak on the issues and is given the time to speak as well.....
He's doing very well on answering the audiences questions.....
I am so confused. I watched the town hall with Trump on MSNBC, but then I discover he had a rally in Sumter, SC tonight as well. I haven’t seen a thread here, covering the rally, so was the town hall pretaped?
Here’s the link to the rally that was held tonight at 7:00 PM, maybe someone here can explain this to me....

Of course he does. He also knows that at the debate Trump alone actually named two potential nominees, both conservatives, but Cruz avoids mention of inconvenient facts.
Oily.
I’m with you, Trump launches scorched earth and then demands everyone play nice.... I can’t see it....
Cruz understands the Constitution and I think Trump will trample it every bit as much as Zero. Cruz will choose principled leaders for his advisors. Trump will choose his son and daughter.
I also cannot imagine Trump's wife as First Lady.
Their relationship is solid as is their faith......which holds it together.
It’s not that Cruz says he’d appoint her, it’s that she is indicative of the type of judge that Trump says is great and would make a great justice on SCOTUS.
Yep. I turned it off right then.
What a horrible man.
I have no argument with this.
In Donald Trump I see a man who also loves this country, respects our Constitution and has been so horrified by the BS that has taken place over the last seven years --from both sides of the political aisle -- that he got up out of his very comfortable life determined to fix it.
In Donald Trump I see a man who not only talks about making America great again -- nationally AND globally --- I also see a man who has the acumen to make it happen.
Simply stated: I see Donald Trump as the right man at the right time.
Just because your repeat it enough times...doesn’t make it TRUE.
Sorry, what are you referring to? Cruz’s money laundered Super PAC donations?
You confuse emotion with actual facts, so I’ll say what I meant...
Trump makes more deals with those destroying this country, than any trying to save it. And Trump spends more time attacking those wanting to save this nation, than those trying to destroy it.
If you can’t understand English, that’s not my problem.
Dude drugs are already on the govt shopping list. Did you forget about Medicare part d that bush got passed that greatly expanded the shopping list???
That horse done left the barn.
Yup...Reagan appointed her thinking she was more conservative than she was....
Then was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton, who noticed how LIBERAL she was.
>>Not in NE and NW FL
Hi MLL,
Here in NW FL I see a good amount of Trump bumper stickers. No Cruz or Rubio, and one Ben Carson car sticker.
Okay, I hope you won’t yell at me : ) but...
I am a bible loving conservative through and through, my daddy raised me right. I can not vote for Mr. Cruz. There is something about him that sets off my inner “gut” alarm. I just don’t see him as an honest conservative. I know other do. My sense is that he is firmly entrenched GOPe, playing a part. I may be wrong, but that’s just how I see it.
So how could I possibly support Mr. Trump? Well, it’s because I see him as the only leader strong enough to really clean out this country of the bad guys, establishment and anti-Christians, and restore us to safety. The elites won’t go easily, they’ve been in power for decades.
This is the only critical issue for me because the country is at a point where it’s very survival is at stake. If God protects and delivers Mr. Trump from evil, it will be answered prayer.
I believe Mr. Trump loves his country MORE than he loves his money. I believe he is so fed up with traitorous politicians who have sold this country down the river, that he realized he better give it his best shot to do what he can, to leave for his children and grandchildren a country restored.
Maybe he has heard the prayers of so many Christians who want their Christian country back, and He is giving us one more chance with a well-seasoned tough cookie with a gentle heart, who knows how to take on Evil and win.
I believe God uses all kinds of men for His purposes as He wills. Remember Cyrus the Persian? Isaiah 45:1-5; Ezra 1:1-5. My sense is that God is using Mr. Trump, whether he is aware of it or not, for His purposes.
Cheers, my FRiend.
Cruz is almost too smart for the job based on the caliber of people inhabiting the Oval Office or running for the office these days, e.g. Obama, Hillary, Trump
He is ready to assume the office.
I do appreciate all of the work Trump did to whack Jeb out.
I stand true to my first belief.
Trump doesn’t have conservative principles. Being a business wheeler-dealer is not what is needed for POTUS.
And Cruz’s anonymous, money laundered through straw LLCs donations are based on “conservative principles”?
