	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

I’m not philosophically opposed to the idea of electing a non-politician proven leader as president and I’d vote for Jack Welch in a heartbeat. In terms of actual business acumen, intelligence, and success Trump doesn’t amount to a pimple on the man’s a$$.

1)People don't like him that much. A lot of it is "lookism." Hillary Clinton may be Nixon reborn, but Ted's appearance and mannerisms put some in mind of Nixon (or LBJ or Joe McCarthy).

2) If you present yourself as "trust and truth personified," every little thing you say that might not be completely true or fair will muddy your reputation. It's the expectations game.

Cruz went from hero to zero the moment trump decided he was a threat. Now trump the clinton donor determines who is a good Conservative

Hey Jack, Cruz admitted to lying to kill the Gang of 8 Bill.

Do you know what it's called when you knowingly make false statements on or make proposals with false pretenses to a legal document with intent to destroy?...Fraud.

Jack Welch the CEO of GE China, friend to Obama and member of the Obama administration. It’s no wonder he’d come to Mr. (and Mrs.) Green card/H1b/open borders/cheap labor loving Cruz’s defense.

If one gets a lie out first and your people want to believe anything you say. And the news media hates the individual you are lying about, then your lie bcomes the truth. So it is with Trump about Cruz.

I like Ted and will vote for him in the primary tomorrow though I will enthusiastically support Trump when he wins the nomination. I will admit, though, that Cruz has made some missteps along the way. He has traveled in pretty tall cotton his whole academic and professional career and in my view did not anticipate and was not well-equipped for the street-fighting of this contest. He has been clumsy. Trump is much better prepared for that sort of thing.

And everyone ignores the proven, documented lies of the hildebeast. Just goes to show - being caught in lies is a detriment for a repub candidate. It’s a required skill for a rat.
