Your selective condemnation betrays you. Ted is not worthy of your support. He is trying to hand the convention victory over to the GOPe.

How are you not getting this? The GOPe is being forced to back Cruz because, for as dumb as they are, they know Trump is an electoral disaster. They despise Cruz, but they know that with him, the party at least has a chance to unite and compete. With Trump, it's going to be a catastrophic general election season and a Democrat sweep in November.

Is that what you want?

Plenty of conservative women disagree with your perspective. Are they fools without self-respect?

No. Many of them are the same women who went Mittens in 2012. How'd that work out?

The problem with Trump is that he's much more distasteful to women that Romney ever was. Say what you will about liberal Mitt, he treated women with respect and wasn't a crass jackass. Trump....well, let's just say that he'll have the Stockholm Syndrome vote tied up. Beyond that, probably not much.

Cruz started out pretty good...I liked him AND Trump

Yup.

I truly miss the man I though Cruz was :-(

Here is a graphic I made a few months back when I held him in high esteem...

Even now, after all that has happened, I believe that if Cruz admitted some mistakes and made some changes that there could be a reconciliation.

Americans are a people that love to forgive, and I think Trump would welcome him in with a smile.... I still have a tiny hope for Trump/Cruz and then 4 years later Cruz/???

Maybe I'm too much of a dreamer.... :-/

And that is the sad truth of it all. The Trumpster Mob riding a pink cloud of plurality “wins” thinking it’s going to translate into a win in November. That man is far too easy of a target, especially for women, which just happens to be the theme libtards planned on using this election. They’re selling out their principles for a fatally flawed candidate.

I appreciate your effort to spin this into something it isn’t, but Trump will mop the floor with Hillary.

Folks, get new material. This is grade “C” stuff.

You simply don’t like Trump’s personality. That’s perfectly okay. But accusing his female supporters of being desperate dependents doesn’t set the example of the gentleman you’re demanding.

The real common sense, conservative women I know like Trump and plan on voting for him.

Try to argue the argument more instead of just slinging personal insults around.

I suppose it’s easier just to repeat “Teddy Bare” than it is to defend Trump’s left-wing positions on affirmative action, taxes, healthcare, Israel, etc.

There is not evidence that Trump will even be within shouting distance of Hillary. The polls have universally reflected that. The best the TrumpTrolls can come up with to hearten them is that is that Reagan was down by 20 points to Jimmy Carter in 1980. Great. Trump is no Reagan. While Reagan was affable, smart, and generally viewed as a good man, Trump is nasty, vindictive, and generally viewed as a loud-mouthed creep.

He has no shot of winning in a general election. The Democrats will make absolute mincemeat out of him if he doesn't self-destruct on his own.

Try to argue the argument more instead of just lying like TERD Cruz! You know the type that berates his followers daily with cash appeals. "...send $10, $25, anything you can...! "

Of course, I know it's hard supporting a slimy lawyer instead of an honorable family man. Trump is by far the best candidate and will make a great President!

VOTE TRUMP!

I plan to vote against Trump because of his liberal values. He supports affirmative action, he supports Planned Parenthood, he is “neutral” on Israel, he criticizes a governor for Not raising taxes.

But if you keep repeating “TERD Cruz!” enough, the brilliance of your argument may convince me to vote for the New York liberal.

I honestly can’t think of anyone he screwed over. I guess many the university if that’s what your talking about. I look at that the same way as other programs like Dave Ramsey get out of debt or some IT Schools. I even think some universities are ripping off people big time.

How can you possibly support Trump and claim to be fighting for liberty and conservatism? The man is a liberal hack and you’re dreamy eyed and asleep at the wheel... Wake the heck up!!!

You people are so funny. You keep electing these same politicians over and over because they repeat the poll tested buzz words, all the while they are working with liberals to steel your liberty and impliment the one world order agenda. But you don't care as long as you hear the right buzz words. It's called manipulation by 10 second sound bites. And then you have the nerve to say "Wake the heck up!!!" Ya just gotta laugh at that.

You’re dreaming here is pure nonsense.

There are also polls out there that show him doing good against Hillary.

You’re grasping at straws to find the worst information regarding Trump. Peddle that stuff to one of your own. I’m not buying in.

All you’re succeeding in doing here is coming off like James Carviile.

There are as many good things to focus on about Trump as there are bad. And it’s sad to see what you choose to focus on.

I hate to break this to you, but Trump’s and Reagan’s platforms are similar.

Further, Trump has proven himself to be a great communicator.

Gosh this must really upset you.

I know it does because you stoop to the Trump Troll name calling.

Trump is leading and his supporters are in the catbird’s seat.

That makes you the riff raff. Troll.

I like your post, JB, especially the part of who is drawing the most people to his rallies.
My first vote was for IKE in 1956 and have voted “R” ever since. True, on some of the latest I have had to hold my nose and vote for the “R”. This time there finally is a candidate that in essence is saying that we the voters should chose our candidate, not the establishment elite. The establishment elite are fearing for their soft, fat, cushy jobs......they do as well whether a DemocRAT or a Republican is president. Keep up the good work.

The difference is Ronald Reagan was a principled conservative with real solutions for America’s problems.

Lest YOU forgot... we found that out in the EIGHT years AFTER Reagan was elected.. NOT going in.

The MSM disparaged and diminished Reagan at every turn heading toward the election.

At one point POLLS proclaimed the American voting public favored Carter 58% to 33%.

That MSM BS suddenly changed when the ELECTORATE actually VOTED.

Trump, like Reagan, represents what common sense Americans WANT for THEIR COUNTRY's LEADERSHIP.

Ted Cruz is a principled conservative. Donald Trump is not.

Now that's just silly. Ted Cruz is a liar who spends all his time attacking Trump. He's flailing around wildly and would attack Trump if he scratched his nose in public, saying it's beneath the office of president. He's an amazing loser of a person and to think I once planned on voting for him.
