Just got a call from the Metamorphic group, seemed to me since they asked more questions about Rubio, they were in fact working for his campaign.

Then as I started typing this post, Rubio volunteer called me. I loved telling him why I wouldn’t vote for him.

I told Rubio’s volunteer who is here from California brought in for the campaign.

I told him I thought Rubio’s saying one position On Amnesty in Spanish and another different position in English was dishonest. I also gave the volunteer a message that “we Gringo’s can speek and understand more than one language” we are not as stupid as Rubio believes we are. You can’t be a conservative and want our whole culture to change.

Did you take the survey at post 225? Some people seem to think it is rigged when they are the ones answering the questions and giving them weight. They seem surprised the Cruz comes out on top (87% for me) Trump only got 54% for me-with the socialists dead last in the 30s- if you answer with conservative principles.

Trump is a supporter of TARP and the government bailouts

Great men rarely rise from positions of privilege.

They usually know the great struggles and enthusiasms of the common man.

Ted could use some lessons on spinning storys but he is a decent and good man.

And a Warrior!

THAT is the farking answer, not a stupid wall

Would you agree that a stupid wall may be part of the answer?

If there were no penalty for robbing banks would you expect bank robberies to go up or down?

To find out how biased the survey is. If no matter how you answer Trump comes out 46-54% then the TILT lights need to come on.

Trump came in at 71%, right above Webb at 70% when I took the test. But it is probably harder to weight trumps leanings. I mean even the Trump supporters have to admit, he has been slightly all over the board the last year. And that is my only opposition to Trump. I really honestly don't know what he really stands for, and what he is just saying to get elected. His lifelong beliefs, and comments have been much more liberal till he decided to run for the republican nomination. I love how he has put the focus on many subjects, and his in your face defiance of political correctness. but I honestly don't know how he will govern. And I doubt many here do either. they just HOPE it is close to what he is saying now.

That being said - I will certainly support him if he gets the nomination. He will be better than Bernie for certain.

side note : I am a Cruz supporter , and will support Trump if he is our nominee. But my wife - has a visceral hatred of Trump, and says she can never vote for him. She also hates the way Cruz comes across , but will support him without liking it. And yes - Rubio is her first choice. She thinks his is the most "uplifting" campaign and still conservative enough. Just letting you know how this particular conservative woman is thinking .

Once again spot on.

It is possible to be wise, share your points of view on the candidates, give honest answers while still treating each other with respect.

It could be done.

A survey is not push polling. You answer honestly about your core principles and have a chance to weigh them as to their importance. If you are a conservative, Cruz will come out on top. If you are a conservative, that should be no surprise.""""....

I agree, I suspect Trump supporters are afraid to take that test and report honestly their results.

To take the test, one has to be COMPLETELY honest about conservatism or be exposed as the liberals they are. No two ways about it......

I have noted over and over that when the Trump thunders and bellows Ted does not blink.

When Ted says bring it!

Trump blinks

I agree that no one from the Bush administration ever fought back. One exception:

There was one point shortly after the 2001 inauguration when the lefties began disputing the widespread stories of the Clinton staff trashing the White House or executive office building, going so far as to rip the W keys off the computers. I think it was Rove or maybe Cheney who threatened to make the photos public. Then the creeps finally shut up about that.

Refusing to comment or refute was one tactic to take, as long as you were consistent. Once you start criticizing, then you have to criticize every insult, because if you don’t it looks like you are accepting the ones you don’t criticize. Or it may have just been W cementing his image as a gentleman, or perhaps as someone above the fray.

It was infuriating but I kind of understand it. Those were infuriating times, with the Left in full demonic mode.

Absolutely, I do. It is survey and if you give answers from a conservative perspective, the most conservative candidate will come out as most closely matched to your answers.

Trump is a supporter of TARP (which is when I lost all faith in GWB) and other government bailouts if they benefit his ability to make money off the backs of the middle class who pay the bulk of the taxes that fund that crony-capitalism corruption.

Trump may love this country but mainly because he was able to use the corruption of the ruling class of both parties to make his fortune. I do appreciate his political incorrectness but not his name-calling and foul mouth.

Trump blinks and runs off to “the view” and starts whining about how he was treated... “horrible, Terrible”

Try this one.

Trump wants to secure the borders, enforce the law, end anchor babies, end sanctuary cities, build a wall, deport them all, secure the borders, secure the nation, including sending the refugees back!
No one is better at border security, national security than Trump.

Sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to talk about cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting regulations, cutting government, cutting cronyism, cutting corruption, growing the economy, putting our people back to work, making America great again?

Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to defend God, family, guns, country? Want to build the greatest military ever so no one dares mess with us?

Trump does. And he sounds pretty damn conservative to me.

Want to build a coalition including conservatives, capitalists, blue collar workers, veterans, gun owners, religious people, minorities, freedom-loving Americans of every stripe?

Trump does. And he's doing it. And that sounds pretty damn conservative to me!

Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.

No excuses for the tone. None needed.

This is obvious push polling. My results simply make no sense at all:: Ted Cruz 74% Marco Rubio 69% Jim Gilmore 69%. . . Donald Trump 66% . . . I put Trump first

No push poll. All this means is that Ted Cruz's positions on the issues is closest to your own while Trump's are the farthest away. Here's an example. On the question about whether taxes should be raised on the highest income earners, I am guessing that you said 'no' as does Cruz, Rubio, Gilmore, etc. But Donald Trump says 'yes' as does Sanders. Thus the discrepancy. Nothing rigged about it.
