**** “Congratulations most of all to Donald Trump and his campaign. While it has not been the smoothest ride, Donald Trump has captured the imagination of people in a way that I have not seen since Ronald Reagan was running president in 1980. No, they are not the same. But Trump has that same gift 2 put his finger on what is bothering the American people, and to provide Solutions” ****

And he TOOK THE PC POLICE on their Last Ride!!!!

PC if not completely Dead is most likely writhing

I gave Cruz more than a few hundred, campaigned and Voted for him before he turned... he will not get my Vote if he runs for the Senate again.

Really good post. As a Cruz supporter, I’m saddened today. I’m taking tonight to lick wounds and rest up.
Tomorrow it begins.....

**** “ Bernie might very well stop Hillary “ ****

Strange 2 years, I am a Veteran that served during the Cold War, I found myself agreeing with Putin against my own President and now hoping a Socialist beats a former First Lady

Things have changed

**** “ He’s still got his senate seat” ****

He won’t keep it! I’ve been a Contributor, Campaigner, Supporter then NOT SO MUCH

I see this guy now, he won’t get my Vote ever again, for anything.

The suicide watch that folks have on Glenn Beck should be shifted over to the Cruz household, that is where the drama is about to be played out ... that family is hanging on by a thread now .. Pray for them.

I would think Trump would want somebody like Cruz, because Cruz obviously is ready to hit hard on his opponents. And whether one is a Trump or Cruz supporter, I think much of the appreciation of those candidates is them attacking those that most Freepers find distasteful.

Of course during this primary season, many of the Trump supporters are hacked off at Cruz. But give Cruz credit for not being a wuss. He obviously will fight and get dirty doing it. Nice to see. That is a rare trait with candidates having a "R" next to their name.

What, pray tell, will happen with Glenn (Elmer Gantry) Beck? What about Levin? What about Rush?

Not much I hope. We used to have our disagreements but the past 5 or 6 months have been a little too intense. It’s political theater. We have yet to see if our votes count.

If not, the theater gets real. As well, Ears never won the last election, he stole it with voter fraud.... The video testimony was all over the minor news papers in Ohio & Florida, everyone ignored it. In East St Louis & St Louis he won with the same numbers that he had in 08. Big problem, lines out the doors in 08, none in 12 (like no one went to vote type non lines). Yet I stood, with my wife and waited to vote for Mittens for 45 min. (never had to wait to vote before). Its not who votes that matters, its who counts the votes. HT: Joseph Stalin.

The Trump people are emotionally empowered like I have never seen. They are so mad at the lies and the bullshit (rightfully so)that they will burn the whole thing to the ground. If Hildabeast steals this election with Ears help.... We may see the Tree of Liberty getting the refreshment called for long ago...

If that where to happen its all hands on deck, or a generation of slavery and our slaughter, children and grand kids included.

Our Government is out of control, if things go bad, get at least one of them, we outnumber them by a lot.

Sad days, or ones of hope?

I really don’t know.

Bless you all!

Gave’em 28 years, my new philosophy is 130 grains delivered at 2,800 ft per sec from the porch to the gate ... anyone that needs more than that can come back for seconds.

Had a Polish priest once tell me that Christianity thrives during adversity (was likely talking about post-WWII Poland). I think that is true, and also think that the youth of American will stand up when necessary. I’ve seen incredible acts of kindness and responsibility among the children that are part of my life. I’m impressed, and I have hope for their future.

Being a lifelong urban dweller, which firearm/caliber can deliver that payload? Glad to presently live in Suburbia, now.
