“Twirling for freedom!”

[Read Write Repeat]

If Trump takes Boise, it’s over.

[little jeremiah]

Your statements are foolish, silly and incredibly ill-informed.

Not worth my time, sorry.

And an even larger number of voters rejected Cruz.

Here you go, some background videos that show his consistent economic principles over the years:

[TontoKowalski]

I gotta hand it to you.

You just never give up.

You are annoying. But consistent.

[Cboldt]

On CNN, one of the pundits noted that Trump got more votes in Michigan, in a four man race, than Hillary got in a two man race. Extend that to Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the DEM brand is in trouble.

[stocksthatgoup]

That’s one way to look at it. Another way to view it is that ONCE AGAIN the large MAJORITY of voters in a state REJECT Donald Trump but are split among several candidates. \

Even more rejected everyone else.

[Rational Thought]

This isn’t a case of Sanders being such a wonderful candidate, like the media is portraying, but what a horrible candidate Clinton is.

Polls be damned, Trump would crush her.

[moehoward]

ID 20%

[grey_whiskers]

Another way to look at it, is that an even LARGER majority of the voters reject everyone else...or, to be charitable, the non-"openly"-GOP_e candidate gets 70% of the vote or so, but they can't yet make up their minds

Cruz cannot win this war of attrition. Trump can: the liberal states will not select one whom is easily characterized as a Bible-thumper, when he has as little experience and as little personality as Cruz has.

[Albion Wilde]

Journalist need to stop asking how he is going to pay for the wall. It is so obvious and the questions make journalist look really stupid and act as if they are covering Presidential campaigns in the 1970’s.

Being really, really smart must be really, really lonely for him sometimes.

lol rub might lose out there too

[Shortstop7]

Lol. I thought so too when I heard it. I knew I had read it here. Too funny.

[stocksthatgoup]

Now could we get a list of Cruz accomplishments in the Senate? How many Cruz sponsored bills have become law?

[little jeremiah]

Dear Albion Wilde - you have the info at your fingertips, thank you! If anyone reads his books and position papers, and sees interviews, especially over the years, they will see his consistency, and any change has been over time, and for the better.
