Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich sided with the violent protesters.

Republican endorsements.

I was watching the Judge and there was a snippet of Ted comparing Trump to Hillary by saying he doesn’t want the lessor of two evils. He is a slimeball and despicable.

“Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich sided with the violent protesters.”

No, they didn’t. Cruz said, “The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands.”

He went on to explain that “when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.”

Try to understand the balance between these two statements.

Honestly, I can not understand anyone backing Cruz after his David Duke, KKK, Hitler comparisons, and last night’s betrayal of the second amendment.”

Cruz also said that Trump was behind white racist robo-calls on Chris Wallace’s show and no one took him to task for it. We don’t even know if there really were such calls or something Ted made up.

There really does seem to be such a long awaited and long needed patriotic storm building. You almost don’t want to get your hopes up because of, at least for me, the fear we had already reached the point of no return. People I know that have always been ardent democrats can’t stand Hillary and laugh at Bernie. I have minority friends, I am not eloquent enough to explain it (so long explanation short)they fully support Trump because they feel he does recognize them as equals. He does share their interest and they are very, VERY tired of the PC bullshit that they deserve “extra” consideration because of their minority status. Trump truly is leaping boundaries, and it’s not so much anger and disgust at the political morass of the past fifty years. It’s more that so many people from all walks of life refuse to be insulted anymore and will no longer be dictated to by the whining, useless tumor that society has grown. We’ve had enough, we’re focused, determined, we’ve manned the trenches long enough, the front has risen, advanced and picking up speed. We’re not going to let this crap continue.
(My rant is over, not well spoken)

“I was 1000% for Cruz....but he failed to unite against the Ayees/Dohrn Communist Gustappo Machine for the hope of political gain. Now I have to support Trump...and I cant stand Trump. Im supporting the movement behind him.”

Join the crowd. I never thought I would be a supporter of a tv reality show host, but Trump does grow on you. It just might take a little time.

I actually thought about Cruz, but the more I read and heard about him and found out about Heidi’s North American Union report for the CFR and her other connections, the less I liked.

“I could have been a real contender”. Cruz moves from the middle weight division to light weight when he forgets what the constitution says. This is not a standing eight count it is a TKO.

Dude. Changing the subject doesn’t change the fact that your god-king Cruz made a total ass of himself and ended his campaign last night.

Ha. HA HA HA!

Changing the subject doesn’t change the facts of the matter.

King Cruz shot himself in both feet last night and he deservedly is losing a huge chunk of his support.

And I’m just sitting here laughing at all of you who called us cultists, because we weren’t the ones who were revealed to have been taken in hook, line, and sinker.

Har de har!

Thank you.

You don’t have to like Trump; he’s not always a likable person. But his strength doesn’t come from himself; it comes from all of us that are making up the wave. And I will be proud to be at your side to take our country back.

Ted Cruz could have stated it better.

But Trump's "They're going to do what I tell them" statement about forcing the military to carry out illegal orders is not exactly a good statement either, is it?

I do think Cruz has to be very careful and consider his options wisely.

I think he needs to loosen his grip on the reins, a little bit. Cruz should follow his own instincts. Hold on loosely. It's in God's hands.

As for Trump-One thing he does well- Is he speaks un-rehearsed, straight off the cuff.

Cruz is also great at speaking this way . I've even seen a little of Ronald Reagan in Cruz .

Reagan would be speaking on the TV, and he had this way of just making you feel good about being American-But it wasn't like chest pounding-it was more spiritual and ascending. Like it made you better to hear him speak. He always talked about his faith in the people. And you could just sense his deep love for this country in every word he said.

From time to time, Ted Cruz has shown this same ability . I think the country could benefit so much from from seeing and hearing it .

Ultimately, I think Reagan's ability was inspired by his deep reliance on God to direct his life. It was genuine and real-not something that could be faked, that's why he was so inspiring.

I'm still praying that Ted Cruz will be our next president. I'm also praying for the safety of all the candidates and their supporters.

Being whiny and spewing bile at Trumpers doesn’t change the fact that your boy committed political suicide last night.

And the sad thing is, he probably thought that it was going to help him.

HA!

I was just commenting elsewhere that Ted will lose prominent supporters over siding with the barbarians.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, former Governor Rick Perry, and Lt Gov Dan Patrick - all came out in support of Ted in recent weeks. They’ve got to be angry as hell about this, right now. He’s made them all look like fools.

Ted has now forced them all to make some very uncomfortable choices.
