In the 1980 Republican Primary Election Results (to compare to today)Ronald Reagan had only won ONE of the first 4 Primaries,
and George Herbert Walker Bush had won THREE out of the first 4 Primaries.

Cruz’s supporters are dragging him down. They are the angriest, nastiest, most hate filled, malicious people I have ever seen while running around waving their Bibles. Those Westboro people have nothing on them!

Trump has exposed what a weak national candidate Ted Cruz is. Trump is going to give Hillary a run for her money, more so than Cruz or Rubio.

Hang on to that factoid, buddy. It is all you have to avoid facing reality.

From your tagline, give me liberty... how about give me liberty or a strongman to tell me what to do.
Listen to this line, Trump is no longer a just a candidate he is the vessel of a bloodless revolution.
Huh? You wrote that. If you believe it, it’s scary.
Hope and change anyone? Obummer 2.0

Trump.
He’s quite capable of blowing himself up.

-— Trump.

I’m listening to middle-of-the-road talk radio in Boston this morning. The usually boring hosts agreed that Rubio and Cruz exposed Trump’s ignorance on every issue. The only question was why Rubio and Cruz hadn’t done this sooner.
They were also able to list the Trump litany, from hiring illegal Polish workers to touchback amnesty to not being willing to release his taxes.
Trump will have his hands full this week IF the media decides to ask him a tough question.

The conservative movement wants Rubio as their standard bearer?
Michael Brendan Dougherty is as clueless as the GOP establishment.
Rubio still has the stinch of the gang of 8 on his shoes and he cannot rid himself of being the amnesty pusher. That is far from ‘the conservative movement.’

What “principals impelled them into politics”? All I see the RNC as is a bunch of power hungry, greedy people who are more than willing to sell out the country for a pat on the head and big check deposited in their bank account. For all their yammering about “conservative” this and “conservative” that, they haven’t conserved anything but their own skins and bank accounts. They have stood by and watched, and even encouraged the country to be transformed into a Third World dung heap from coast to coast. I’ll be willing to bet that the majority of them are on the payroll of George Soros.

“I’ll give you that the odds are against people waking from the spell of willful blindness caused by being near celebrity and wealth.”
You obviously think very little of your fellow conservatives, who have done their due diligence on the candidates, and are overwhelmingly choosing Trump.
Take me, for instance. I was a Cruz guy, going back to his run for the Senate, here in Texas. Ted made some serious missteps early in the campaign that caused me to re-examine my support for him. That left an opening for some other challenger to win me over.
Enter Trump, who I must say, I was initially very skeptical of. I actually was worse than skeptical. I outright rejected the guy as an unserious candidate. And then he started talking about what he’d do to address the most pressing issues of our time. He boldly went where no candidate had gone before, and captured the support of millions. Including me.
In the interim I’ve examined him even more carefully, and have observed that he also possesses personal qualities and executive experience the others don’t have, which only strengthens my conclusion that he is best equipped to take the role of President in the next administration.
It’s got nothing to do with celebrity. It’s what the man brings to the table.

“Until last night Cruz had my Vote ...Trump has it now ...”
I was a Cruzer when the race first started, but his trickery with TPA and his vote for the Corker bill, broke the deal with me.
Trump stepped into the ring and started laying out solutions to the most pressing issues of our time, and that was it. I had someone I could really get behind.

"Gang of Eight PRO-AMNESTY BILL" Rubio's

"EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" Trump's
PRIMARY GOAL IS

Remember this:
...
GLENN: ... The reason I brought the book out washow was it George Washington — on the day they signed the Constitution,
what he said was, in his diary,“Signed the Constitution today.
I pick up my copy of Don Quixote.”
So how — that book has always bothered me.
I look at it, and I’m like,“Okay. What was he trying to say?
What was Don Quixote speaking to him about?
Why was this book so important?”
It really isn’t that.
Because to me that’s like somebody saying,“I save the world today,
and I’m going to Barnes & Noble.”
What is that?
And so what it was, washe finished the Constitution with purity,
He did exactly what he was supposed to do.
And as he said at the end of the Constitutional Convention,the event is in the hand of God.
So he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
He knew that that a future generation would see the Constitution.
They would be faced with — he didn’t know what it would be,but totalitarian, socialism, you know, or the status quo.
And people wouldn’t know which way to run.
And they — because they did the right thing, in his words,they raised the standard to whichthe wise and the honest would run to.
And so that allowed him to, when he finished say,“Yeah. And I get to go read a good book.
I’ve heard these great things from this ambassador about this story.
I’ve got that book coming in.
I can sit under my tree on my farm and read.”
The point I’m trying to make with the book is: When you do the right thing,
And George Washington saw this time,
and he gave us the — he gave us where we should be going.We shouldn’t be going to socialism.
We shouldn’t be going to a strongman.
We shouldn’t be looking for the status quo.
We should run to the Constitution.Because it was done with exactnessand they could sleep at night,
and we’ll be able to sleep at nightbecause our answers are all contained there.
Our problems are because we didn’t adhere to the Constitution. America, run to the Constitution.The event is in the hand of God.
