It’s about change in DC. It’s about the establishment. I loved W....don’t get me wrong.

Am just tired of the same ole’ same ole’ in DC. Don’t really want the Bushes involved anymore. Voters made that clear when Jeb got zero support.

If I must address his viewpoints, I will concede that he has some sort of concern about the border, and he likes to carry a gun, but he has supported firearm bans, and frankly, we already have a border 'fence" started....just need congress to put up the funding to complete it.and no, I don't believe Mexico will pay for it. The American buyers of goods and services will pay for it.That's how tariffs work.

All I can do is go with what his positions are today, which many are Constitutionally conservative, then hope and pray he doesn't go back on his word like most politicians do. I can only hope and pray he is as fed up as I am with how our country has been stolen by this DC establishment cabal.

The thing he does have going for him is he is NOT a career politician and a true outsider at this point. That's why the whole DC establishment fears him. We're in a battle of good vs. evil but in these things have been nuanced so bad, many don't understand if they are following good or evil these days. Our government is so corrupt they are going to do anything to try to prevent an outsider from coming in that could potentially expose all their corruption. That good vs. evil battle in part comes down to statism vs. freedom for our country. I will always come down on the side of freedom and liberty.

That being said, statism is so ingrained in our culture and government that short of an all out civil war against our government establishment, I do believe this may be our last hope, to put in a true outsider, to help us clean up this mess. While I would have loved to include Cruz as a true outsider, with all his recent actions of getting in bed with the establishment, I no longer consider him that.

Trump is the only non-career politician and true outsider and to me, worth the risk. Of course with risk, their is reward or failure. If he fails, a civil war was almost inevitable anyways if we truly value our freedoms that continue to be squashed by this whole DC establishment.

Cruz is GOPe, Neil Bush is there to remind him that he works for the Bush family.

I heard about half of Rush radio today, and he seemed to be defending Trump against the GOP elites today. I think he is beginning to see the picture on the wall, that his chosen candidate is not going to make it. Rush will ALWAYS get behind the winner, in every election. I still remember he became pro-Romney as soon as Romney became inevitable.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised if he looks at polling and decides to drop out before the election.

I don't know. If he gets beaten badly in his home State, kind of think running for Governor will be off the table.

“Former RNC Chair, Michael Steele, said he was on the phone all day long with worrisome RNC people about the status of the election and that he point blank told them that if Trump wins Michigan and Mississippi, they need to accept that Trump is the nominee.”

Finally. A voice of reason and sanity among the GOP-e elites. All this fevered talk of ‘stopping’ Trump, is only setting the stage for a peasant revolt that will destroy the party, while empowering the enemies of the republic.

LOL!

I have 2 bachelor’s degrees (geology & engineering) and a Masters (engineering) but because of my support for Trump, my family thinks I’m a knuckle-dragging caveman.

Ha, ha, ha. The holes on them.

I never believe the MSM narrative and will be damned if I’ll allow anybody else’s opinion of me or my views sway me from my convictions.

Again, HA, HA, HA!

That picture is of El Rushbo's rating. Once Trump is nominated, Limbaugh will be Trumps biggest fan.

No matter what he does, Rubio will have to do some total redefining of himself and his image. The Rubio who ran here has done poorly, and with good reason.

Little Marco is going to try to do comedy. He is working out a ventriloquist routine with a wooden dummy. I think I read where the character was going to be Jeb!

Dang, think we got spoofed by a fake Rudy account.
Look at the description under portrait. Indicates a parody.

Did Rubio, Kasich and Cruz make speeches tonight? I was gone for awhile after Trump spoke. Did I miss them?

Cruz has always waited until he was making strides to shoot himself.

Hiring TWO Bushes? Has he not been following his OWN CAREER?!?
