Johnnie, your advice is going over the head and being ignored by the trumpers.

They have been horrible with vicious lies about Ted Cruz.

All I’m doing is telling the truth about Donald Trump.

Breathe, Johnnie, breathe.

Somewhat dated but it does reflect what we are currently seeing on the ground

Rubio’s “jokes” actually backfired on him. Now with the Romney robocalls for Rubio, he is ruined.

Anyone Romney supports will be ruined by his endorsement or suggestions even. It would be like getting a high five from Jeb Bush or John McCain. You then become a marked loser.

Maybe Romney actually wanted to ruin it for Rubio. After all, Rubio would be Romney’s number one competition for the establishment “nod of approval” at a corrupt GOPe brokered convention.

Rubio is now being undercut by the Establishment that was backing him, as they know Trump wins Florida, the his nomination odds get stronger... looks like the push to get him to drop out before next Tuesday is going to come down on him like a ton of bricks.

There is little doubt Rubio will be damaged goods if he loses, but his political career is already damaged.

Will he stick it out for another week? He has the money, so that’s not an issue... its a matter of whether the GOPe makes him an offer “he can’t refuse” between now and then.

Cruz cannot restore the Republic, no matter what he says or claims, he’s beholden to the same money men as the rest. Cruz won’t structurally change the system because he can’t... that’s just the flat out truth.

You think Cruz will fight to abolish the H1B program? Of course not, too much cash flowing from tech folks to end that..... Think he’ll deport the illegals? Don’t bet on it.. Build a wall? Nope....

But forget all of that, Cruz has a huge general election issue.... he’s basically unelectable, even against a weak candidate like Clinton. He can preach to the Choir, but can’t reach the congregation.

Face it, Marco. You shot your career in both feet and in the a*s with that Gang of Eight nonsense. All that’s left for you now is selling reverse mortgages on TV, and possibly Dancing With the Stars.

Don't forget RuPaul's Show which recently passed it's 100th episode, showing real viability for folks like Little Marco

“If Cruz was establishment...he would be loved by the establishment. They hate him.”

If the establishment hates Cruz so much, why aren’t any of the prominent GOP-e Super Pacs running attack ads against him, like they’re doing to Donald Trump?

Think.

Trump Ivy League = Good
Cruz Ivy League = Bad

Trump went to the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is an Ivy League School.

Trump is no Globalist, but some of his products are made in...........

The only plus is that Trump is not an attorney.

What’s the old joke, “What do you call 100 lawyers going off a cliff?”

“A good start”.

I am a Cruz supporter, but I find it funny when one side accuses the other of “Ivy League” or “Globalism”.

Let’s be honest, both guys have moved a lot farther right on immigration than where either of them started, even just a few years ago.

I don’t have a real issue with either one becoming the nominee. Better than the other 2 left, and A LOT better than HilBern.

The Trump vs. Cruz / Cruz vs. Trump thing only helps the Romney/GOPe crowd, frankly.

Still, it is a campaign, and both are in it to win, so mudslinging is natural.

Give me a specific example of this allegation.

And tell me how Ronald Reagan ran his campaign without being backed by rich guys.

I assume you know how to work google, its very easy to see where the big backers are for Cruz, and not surprisingly the are largely the same cast of characters who have given us every Republican candidate for decades.... You think Cruz is going to rock the boat on them you are naive....

But to get you started, here’s one of many examples that Cruz is the backed by the same money men that have owned the GOP for decades.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/416643/meet-ted-cruzs-billionaire-donors-eliana-johnson

As to you inference that money in politics is the same now as 1980, it has always been part of the game, but there were no SuperPACs in 1980s.

Cruz cannot structurally change the system, because he is beholden to it. He can throw a lever, here or there, but no substantive or structural change would be initiated by Cruz any more than would be initiated by Clinton.

This is not the time for Rubio, Cruz or a softie GOPe candidate. Not at all!

1. North Korea, just yesterday. threating to attack us with nukes

2.The Iranian's with their newly acquired 150 billion dollars -can simply buy nukes now!

3. Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.

4. The illegal mexican horde currently here and the illegal mexican hordes always enroute here -taking millions upon millions of jobs from Americans (white, black and hispanic Americans), swarming our schools, bankrupting our hospitals, raping and murdering fellow Americans. [and all the very slimy democrat politicians welcoming them -as potential democrat voters]

I'm voting for Trump!

And if Cruz became the candidate, his non-natural born citizen status would be thrown at him and a judge would all of a sudden find some standing.

Guaranteed.

Of all the criticisms some of us may have about Ted Cruz, the NBC issue is, without a doubt, the biggest deal-breaker of all.

As you say, if he becomes the nominee, there is NO doubt the Democrats will take him to court over his questionable eligibility, and they won't stop until they get it before the Supremes to decide.

Given the current makeup of the Court, I have serious doubts they'll find in Senator Cruz's favor. In point of fact, no court that reveres and respects the Constitution, would. The man is simply not eligible to be president, under the Framers' understanding of the term, 'natural born citizen'.

The correct decision in this matter would go a long way toward upholding our Constitution, but it would mean chaos for the election of our next president.

Rubio is denying this. Saying CNN is lying.
