Haha. I guess that part of Trump’s personality doesn’t bother me.

So he’s enterprising, why is that bad? He’s being playful about his reputation.

I get that it irritates some people and they think it makes him not presidential, but I find it fun and charming.

He is a very American character.

The GOPe is simply jumping on the one choice left for them. They don’t like either Trump or Cruz but they see Cruz as the only way to stop Trump ... so like we’ve had to do in the past two election cycles, they hold their noses and back what in their eyes is the lesser of two evils.

So, if Trump is the nominee, you don’t want these people to support him?

Trump doesn't give a good got dam who endorses him or why. The only reason Yeb! endorsed Cruz is because he's part of the GOPe effort to stop Trump. Which is what Cruz is all about now because he has no path to the nomination himself.

Cruz is the spoiler. His mission is to set up a situation whereby the GOPe can steal the nomination from Trump and the plurality of voters who support him. Anyone voting for Cruz who does not understand this yet is a total moron.

If I was a Ted Cruz supporter I would feel like puking.

What makes me want to puke is the continued snark from the Trump supporters here on FR who have turned on Cruz ... a conservative that saw muh support here over the years. And the ever present question "Will you Cruz supporters vote for Trump in November?" Of course we will. It would be foolish not to. But it appears that these same folks would not return the favor and vote for Cruz should he somehow win the nomination.

These "endorsements" aren't sincere. They are simply the GOPe's last efforts to save face.

Jeb!s endorsement might have helped a smidge in FL; even so, Trump won that state easily w/o it. Anywhere else, Jeb!s seal of approval is akin to the Kiss of Death.

It was only a matter of time before Jeb Bush “officially” announced his support for Ted Cruz. The Bushes were already on board. This only confirms what we already knew. Ted is 100% establishment and has their full backing.

It was only a matter of time before David Duke "officially" announced his support for Donald Trump. The KKK was already on board. This only confirms what we already knew. Trump is 100% racist and has their full backing.

Neither of the above statements make any sense at all.

Cruz a D.C. Outsider? I don't think so! Part of the problem.

Go Trump!

Yeah, and it will get you a candidate for the Office of President who was a dual citizen less than 2 years ago, won’t it?

Also, should be at least a 3 point bump for Trump.

I predict that when Cruz finally crashes and burns and we’re faced with a ‘broken’ convention, Cruz will allocate his share to the dark horse, Jeb.

See, the rules will be changed at the last minute to allow the one who was anointed from the beginning, Yeb Bush, to emerge as the Republican nominee.

That will not be the end of the story, however...if you catch my drift.

OK, that's fair.
I'm just a bit more cynical.

He was never an outsider. Only the foolish believed so.

So, what does David Duke's endorsement of Donald Trump say about Trump?

Does that make him a KKK insider?

...regardless if he was finally forced to denounced the KKK.
