I was impressed by Trump initially. As much as I hate to admit it I loved it when he slammed the establishment, and frankly, the illegal immigrant problem is my no. one issue.

But then he crudely slandered a guy I like. And I became more aware of his past. If absolutely necessary I will still cast my vote for him based upon my single remaining and rapidly waning hope that he'll follow through on his promise to be tough on illegal immigration.

But it has become a slender reed indeed and it won't take much more for it to blow away, too.

Cruz really needs to win in Texas. It’s looking like it could be close.

I thought the article said that the deck was stacked against Cruz. I don’t understand your upset over that. It made wonder why Texas was not winner take all. If it were, Cruz would most likely take all 155 or so delegates.

The Democrats are waiting.....

You bet they are. They have 2 documentaries ready. On where Trump stalks a British reporter (the equivalent of our Barbra Walters) so much she has to get a restraining order. The other an attempted land grab for a golf course in Ireland (?) where he calls the really nice people living there "pigs" after they decide not to sell.
There's also Trump saying "Blacks are lazy."(I think I read that around 2012 or so?) They're definitely going to use that one! TSHTF after that.

And those are just the little things....There's still all the corrupt business deals.
Trump even tried to cash in on the government small business fund to help rebuild after 9/11! He wanted some of that loot!

Trump has shot his mouth off for years. All those words are going to come back and bite him right in the a$$, and if he's the candidate, he'll take the entire conservative base into the pits of hell with him - because he'll suposedly be representing us!

#59 rational behavior?

That would be idiots supporting a lifelong liberal who brags about banging someone elses spouse just for starters.

If that is what you consider conservative candidate you are probably a democrat.

No doubt he has permanently changed the political landscape and I thank God for him for that.

I don’t care what Sundance says. He is a hack and not to be taken seriously. This sleaze outed a protected witness and posted pics of her husband and son. Bottom of the barrel.

Yeah. Cruz will probably do better in Texas than Trump did in SC.

If Cruz can get all of the delegates, which is unlikely but still possible, it puts him in the running for the nomination. It would be a grand slam.

If he finishes first but does not get all of the of the delegates, it is still a base hitter. Keeps him in the game.

I don’t consider Trump a conservative. He’s a nationalist and populist who promotes some conservative positions.

Calling me a democrat is a joke, and the joke is on you.

#64 You got that right and the other is the tRumo University class action lawsuit going thru the courts in multiple States.

Another Billy Jeff Buttufuco gets his ass nailed in a lawsuit that he lies about.

I told someone else that Trump is Clinton’s stalking horse as Perot was Bill’s. Anyone that actually looked hard at Trump saw what was going on and that he’s playing Conservatives. The problem is that they’re so angry, they aren’t thinking.

Don’t know anything about that. Just know that Texas is proportional.

Trump doesn’t have a record at all - when it comes to votes in the Congress. His views were his personal ones - and according to Cruzbots - no one is capable of learning and growing - unless your name is Ted Cruz. Cruz has voted for some bad things in the Senate which will harm “we the people,” and yet, youhang onto that mantra of conservative. I’m sorry, but selling out our country is anything BUT conservative. Wise up!

As far as I know, this hasn’t been settled yet. However, allow me to point out that this did no harm to all of America, like Ted Cruz’s votes in the Senate have. ou people split hairs over every little thing. The people who took the courses are the ones who may or may not have been harmed. No one twisted their arms to take them, However, for some reason, you Cruzbots can’t see the difference. Sad, really sad.

You think Cruz will win Texas by more than 10 points? Recent polling indicates a 5 point gap within the MOE, and the gap is narrowing.

I would expect Ted to be doing better on his home turf.

Listen, Trump changes positions more often than he does trophy wives. If you didn’t hear something you liked today there’s always tomorrow. He’s immoral and has no core principles. A lot of us will not vote for him. You’ll just have to accept it.
