Same here.
I will vote Trump.
My #2 choice is to write in Trump.
Then vote out everyone with an (R) next to their name.
Just my little way of burning the party down. Take them out of power.
I find it very sad that people who claim to be conservatives are on this forum trashing a man just because of who his family is.
As far as I can tell Neil Bush has largely stayed out of politics.
All regular candidates must walk that path.
But only Trump can blow up the bridges and take the levers of power from them.
These are “interesting times” as the Chink proverb goes.
I believe this will sink Cruz once and for all. And I like Cruz, and always had a lot of respect for him. That is evaporating quickly.
You know Trump is going to go crazy on Ted with this news. I’m surprised he hasn’t tweeted something about it yet.
It's all about the money.
It costs $1-$1.5 billion to get elected POTUS.
Ted Cruz is happy to have these people aboard, even though they are driving now.
It's his only viable path.
You are right.
He is no longer considered anti-establishment.
He wanted them to come crawling to him, and they have. His ego, as expected, has taken hold.
So. Again. Where is Glenn Beck in all this? What does he have to say?
any association with any Bush family member only sullies Cruz, but hey, isn’t his wife is a CFR associate? During GHB presidency, wasn’t there some sort of controversy of Neil Bush getting appointed to some board and being paid $100K+ for doing nothing? And when that info got out and Neil was forced to resign his position? I recall seeing a reporter trying ask him a question about that issue and he walked very quickly in the other direction. Cruz’s campaign ought to be toast.
BWA HAHAHAH. The Bushies are now with Cruz. Too rich.
You forgot to put Chris Christie standing next to Trump in that graphic.
Sigh. And I just mailed in my absentee ballot with Cruz marked as my choice.
:(
First, the GOP must die.
Everything else comes after that.
Fair Trade? TPP?
Corker Bill to allow Iran deal with a Majority
Take it somewhere Else
Like Goldman Sachs
Club for Growth
If anyone here wishes to dress down 2nd place Senator Ted Cruz for making a strategic fundraising alliance to essentially knock out Trump ("Mercy sakes alive! Imagine THAT!! Politics!"), then I'd suggest they might have some soul-searching to do in the hypocrisy department.
From the 1970's until about one year ago, one could not find a person more connected with elite Washington, with RINO's and Lib Dem's alike, through donations, through hiring of Beltway bandit GOPe Establishment law firms and K Street kings like Stone and Manafort, through connections with every bit of the "system" as any one else assailed here...than Donald John Trump. Fact is he has RINO centrist and DC praetorian guard types with his campaign in PR, finance and strategy and so much of this is simply kabuki until the general election wherein Trump will (as Dole, McCain and Romney before him) return to the default Establishment position. Cruz has demonstrably thrown in far less than Trump over the last 20 years in terms with incestual money flow connections with the caliginous rooms near the Potomac. Cruz has been considered as somewhat of a "quack" in official DC (that's FR territory!) such has been his anti-establishment words and creds. He's been scourged with a perfect 100% voting record from the American Conservative Union--and he'd be no less than •bashed• right here on FR of all places? What gives!?
Please folks. Get another reality once-over. Your narrative is full of holes and while somewhat romantic but mythical, it just simply does not jive with the reality of Mr. Trump and his longstanding ambidextrous, weathervane-like political proclivities and predilections for many years.
Well, well, well.
He won’t even stay away from Glenn Beck, so what makes anyone think he won’t embrace the Bushes?
Thank you for that, it answers the idiots question much better that anything else.
Silverado.
Bush might be hoping for a VP slot.
Silverado.
