Yeah.

You are a petty little person, typical of Trump supporters who could never be confused with intellectual gurus.

That’s cool, right? No trash talking, personal attack there.

Calling Ted Cruz GOPe only shows how deep your ignorance runs.

Indeed - Cruz is anything but GOPe. He's the only one that has fought against the establishment GOP. Of ALL the candidates.

Romney started BCG

Oops. I meant to say Bain Capital. He didn't so much start it (it was a creation of Bain & Co.), as it was built around him, because he had been so good at creating value for Bain's consulting clients. Bain Capital was a separate company they launched to be able to profit from the growth of companies they helped.

Romney was really good at what he did: Hard worker, quick study.

This is what I love about Trumpettes.

1. Trump is YUGE because he’s blowing out all the polls!!! The polls matter! Cruz should just GIVE UP! (*Except, of course, that Trump underperformed ALL of his statewide polls on Super Tuesday.)

2. Polls that show Hillary beating Trump DON’T MATTER! Trump is YUGE and will win anyway!

Yep. No cognitive dissonance there. None at all.

Of course you see his telling him he needs help as being nice. But I find it rather demeaning to personally attack someone by saying they need help. What in your opinion was he implying he need help with? I saw it as him needing to seek out help because he has mental issues. Of course he may have been implying he needs help with his taxes or something equally as innocuous, but since he didn't state what he needed help with, leaves it wide open to interpretation. But I am all ears to hear what you believe he was inferring.

Wow, you Cruz supporters are now in such panic and desperation that you are resorting to comparing Trump to Obama. How special.

Ted's record is devoid of any accomplishments, but is replete with talk. Talk is important but accomplishments are critical. In fact he could have seized upon illegal immigration and made it a vital part of his campaign, but he didn't. Regardless of why he didn't is irrelevant at this point in time. He didn't and it cost him dearly.

I was a Ted supporter before slowly migrating to Trump. But he was weak on the immigration issue, and really ignored the issue for a long period of his campaign in the beginning.

Ted has his warts as well, but I have never denigrated Ted to the extent his supporters have denigrated Trump.

But you are a petty little person who offered up the personal attack first. Your personal attack was not directed at me, but rather another Trump supporter, and that is why I called you that. Because I firmly believe one reaps what one sows.

If your assertion that he needed help was not a personal attack you are mistaken. While you may have left off what he needed help with as a coy way of avoiding being pinned down on what you were implying, it was clear to me that you were implying he had mental health issues. I look forward to your denial this was what you meant. It is what supporters Ted Cruz have become known for. Providing a personal attack with just enough wiggle room to claim they meant something entirely different. Unfortunately Ted has shown a capacity for this as well.

Ted Cruz supporters have proven themselves to be less than the wholesome creatures they want to portray themselves as.

Your personal attack on me doesn't faze me in the least, because I readily admit that I am no intellectual guru. At least I will admit it. I am however, not the dullest knife in the drawer either. I am of modest intelligence who is quite capable of thinking for myself. I don't need your confirmation nor do I seek it.

Every candidate gives me reason to pause for cause, including Saint Ted. One of his biggest is his status as a natural born citizen. He is not, but of course this makes me a ridiculous birther even in the eyes of Mark Levin. How could I possibly disagree with Mark Levin, I must be stupid. But the reality is that Mark Levin was wrong about Obama, and he is wrong about Cruz. Rubio has an even worse case in my eyes as being eligible. Kasich & Carson are too weak, and are not what this country needs right now.

Try making the case for Ted Cruz, and leave all of the vitriol behind. It not only has the opposite affect of convincing people to switch support, but actually makes people more inclined to dig into even greater support.

May the best man win. I believe that man to be Trump, while you believe it to be Cruz. I am fine with that, however, Cruz supporters are not because they are losing, and are convinced that only Saint Ted can deliver us. I do not fault you for being so committed to you candidate, but you need to focus on the positive. The attack course of action is only hurting your candidate of choice.

I have never said Cruz should drop out. I have said Cruz has a much higher hill to climb. In fact I congratulated Ted on his showing in the Super Tuesday primaries held, and said we may have a horse race developing.

I have repeatedly stated may the best man win. I have also called on Cruz supporters to lose their vitriol towards Trump, and instead focus on Ted's positives, without relying in Trump's supposed negatives as a reinforcement of Ted.

That when this is all over that we need to coalesce behind whom "we the people" have chosen as our candidate. If that person is Ted he will have my support regardless of my belief that he is ineligible to be our President. I doubt Cruz supporters will do the same. Like the GOPe they would rather hand the Presidency to Hillary because they have now so bought in to the smear campaign against Trump. His supporters are falling into the trap being well funded and executed to perfection by the same people who are the RINO supporters of the GOP & GOPe. But it is not to hoist your man, for they hate him as well.

I can’t engage with a liar. You just spent paragraphs justifying personal attacks you originally denied making, so we’ll have to part ways here.

In all sincerity, have a good day.

How brave of Romney to stand with the powerful GOPe, the MSM, and every elite in the country against everyday citizens.

Yep, raw courage.

What a sh*t.

I have to laugh at you Cruzers, defending Mitt of all people is just so twisted. Anything for your boy ‘eh?

I’m sorry that people by and large are not interested in another Harvard lawyer who tends to tell tales.

But hey, get on that Mitt wagon, he’s going places!

Fair enough, I can't talk with someone who won't even admit they started off on the attack course of action. However, you prove your pettiness in spades.

You have a marvelous life.

I love this country and do not want to see the harm brought to it that I am detain the faux conservative, Mr. NY liberal himself will bring.

Sorry, typo, it should have read:
I love this country and do not want to see the harm brought to it that I am certain the faux conservative, Mr. NY liberal himself will bring.

You were correct in what I was trying to convey, minus my typo ;)

However, he does occupy to the right within that spectrum. There has been enough evidence brought forth to support that.

What evidence is there of him being a conservative? What has he DONE which illustrates his conservatism? His rhetoric? His guarantees? That is not evidence. That is just a promise.

You must look at a man's record to ascertain if his rhetoric will be something he is being truthful on. (Even that is always not a guarantee, but it gets us pretty close)

This man has an AWFUL record. I mean truly abhorrent.

Supporting baby killing, and not just "excusable" early trimester abortions, but rather third trimester partial birth abortions. Halfway delivering a baby, drilling a hole in the base of its skull, shoving a vacuum into its head, and sucking its brains out...

He has a record of supporting gay marriage.

He has a record of supporting higher taxes, even going as far as TAKING a large lump sum of the wealth of Americans.

These are things he has said he no longer supports, fine, but they still are an active part on who this man was/is until as recently as 6 years ago.

But lets take a look beyond just this sampling of examples, lets take a look at who this man has supported:

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Charlie Rangel, Rahm Emanuel, and countless other Democrats.

Sure he has supported Republicans as well, but who are those Republicans:

Rudy Giuliani, Mark Foley, Arlen Specter, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Pete King...

Not exactly beacons of conservative fights...

It gets worse though... WHEN was he supporting these people...

When we were fighting Obamacare, this man was supporting Reid, Clinton, & Anthony Wiener...

When we were fighting Cindy Shehan and her likes, he was calling for President Bush's impeachment...

This man has NO record of support our side, quite the contrary, his record is solidly in the camp of supporting Democrats and the GOPe.

If the Republican Establishment is dirty from taking donations from the corrupt Washington elite, which they are, Trump represents the other half of that equation, the corrupt donor buying off government officials to curry favor.

Its disgusting.

But even more recently, he stands for liberal policies.

He pushes expanding the government, has a fundamental misunderstanding on what the President's power is, believes he should levy tariffs to bully our trade partners, is totally fine with the use of eminent domain by the government to confiscate a private citizen's land for another private citizen's use, wants to make sure we are not "heartless" and provide free healthcare for the poor, and quite possibly might be fine with touch back amnesty.

I cannot trust the man.

In my heart of hearts, I know him to be a backstabbing liberal, and a vote for him is MUCH worse than a vote for anyone whom we have ever had on our ticket before, because this time, the attacks on liberty, freedom, and God, will be coming from our side, where those of us who have stood fast against it for so long, will have nowhere to turn... nowhere to go... nothing to base our defense on.

This is why I cannot support Donald J. Trump.

Had we not had anyone on our side (yet again) I could see the idea in taking a chance the guy is not a snake oil salesman. But that is not the case. We have someone who has a VERY SOLID record of fighting for liberty, of standing against the establishment.

So much so the GOPe is willing to do anything possible to avoid Cruz from getting elected...

We have no excuse not to vote for the best man, the man with the longest principled record in the race, Ted Cruz.

What got me was his utter disregard for the gentle people of Scotland. He essentially called their homes horrible uninhabitable hovels.

The Scottish are onto him. And now they must think we are world class idiots to even entertain the thought of him being a good president.

He thought he could go in and spread his money and his name around and force them all to fall in line.

Plus, he wanted to put his Trump golf course in an area that has foul weather frequently, so much so that even if he were to build it the weather would plague it to the point that no one would show up to play.

I hope the Scottish are praying for us because we certainly need it.

I am blaming Trump because he is the one who is trying to make political points off of this lie. He is the one lying about this, not Cruz.

Further, I find it so disingenuous that he would accuse Cruz of being some dirty lying politician for supposedly torpedoing Carson’s campaign, when no more than 4 weeks prior Trump himself was insinuating Carson was a child molester.

“You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that,”

How anyone can support this disgusting human being to be the leader of the free world is beyond me.
