Thanks for the point by point. I’m tired of rebutting these mostly old points. Feel free to search the archives to get some counter points.

Where did this guy come from? I thought we were done with this. I guess not.

HAR!

[VanDeKoik]

That 30% that voted for him can demonstrate the ability to put nation ahead of their fragile little egos.

Trump didn’t cheat, unlike Ted tried. He won above-board.

Deal with it and stop acting like frigging babies.

[Hardens Hollow]

“You people better tell him to stop running toward the Democratic party’s positions and start supporting conservative positions.”

“conservative” positions like amnesty, like the party endorses?

no thanks! Go Trump!

[Kit cat]

He IS NOT supporting ANY SIDE of this BATHROOM brew ha ha, hr stated that the expense for businesses would be astronomical this IS a BIG HUGE nothing issue it is a MINUSCULE piece of population to dump such an expense on businesses!!! This whole thing has become ABSURD!!!!!!

[Mouton]

Like we all did my sell our souls in past few elections to win?

[Hardens Hollow]

“Do you care that he’s running towards all positions liberal?”

Deportation and a wall are not liberal. Bringing jobs back by cutting corporate taxes and regulations are not liberal. Putting America first is not liberal.

[showme_the_Glory]

Has he even attempted to woo any of the 30%+ who voted for Cruz?

sounds like a whining loser. Get over it.

[Karl Spooner]

Part of the reason he wanted to be prez is because he was soooo very bored with being a senator. And it was so very below his pay grade.

You got a good point there. I didn't know how dismal he actually was in the senate.

.

Committee assignments:

According to transcripts as reported by Politico, in his first two years in the Senate, Cruz attended 17 of 50 public Armed Services Committee hearings, 3 of 25 Commerce Committee hearings, 4 of the 12 Judiciary Committee hearings, and missed 21 of 135 roll call votes during the first three months of 2015.[113]

Good, just get rid of this piece of trash.

[Hardens Hollow]

you are cherry-picking things out of context.

Realize that the most conservative, most Christian candidate ever ran a very liberal campaign complete with lying to voters and thwarting their will.

Conservatives are not impressed with that kind of lawyer sleaze.

[Hardens Hollow]

“Are you really that stupid?”

Aww, the Cruz arrogance that was his downfall.

[caww]

Things sure are getting interesting.......

[combat_boots]

I had no idea.

[Principled]

Amen - that guy plus mcconnel helped 0bama get everything he wanted. Don’t let the door knob hit you in the ass on the way out Mr. Ryan.

I actually believe that people like mr ryan think that the world can’t work without him.

When he’s replaced with someone who will fight for our positions he’ll be shocked that he gets reelected and achieves much.

Why oh why did GOPe put squishy congressmen in the speaker’s position?

[COBOL2Java]

We have tried conservatism since 1988.

Long history of failure there...

[Georgia Girl 2]

That little puissant thinks he can get in a spitting contest with Trump and win. There’s an epic fail on the way.

[Mase]

The single most important item that doesn't seem to make it onto most lists are the courts. Obama appointees now make up 40% of all federal judges. He managed to accomplish that in just 8 years. Imagine where we'd be with 4 or 8 years of the witch? Never mind the USSC where we're just one vote away from the worst nightmare possible.

We'll have two choices in November and I know who I prefer making those court appointments. Trump's history doesn't offer much in the way of conservatism, but the courts is where the future of the country will be decided and I know he'll be a night vs. day difference to Hillary.

[Savage Beast]

Good. Ask him, Donald.
