Conservatives don’t lie, intimidate, steal, disregard the will of the people.
“For all those who think Ted Cruz can work with Congress. A little reality check. “
So you want a candidate who is cozy with the Washington establishment?
I thunk we have had enough of that.
And so what if the story was flipped; and read that the Senators welcomed Ted with open arms.
Then the Cruz haters would be saying; “See; he’s part of the DC establishment”.
That’s an interesting non-sequitur.
Cruz will do just fine. Not sure why y’all are so against the only conservative in the race.

After Donald J. Trump finishes doing all the “liberal” things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until they stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all the other “conservative” issues that need to be addressed.
So which is it, is Cruz GOPe or is he a thorn in their side? You can’t have it both ways.
And Trump is going to be well received? He couldn’t even negotiate a single delegate in Colorado.
No, it's called raw analysis. Neither one will be allowed to be the nominee.
Not sure why y’all are so against the only conservative in the race.

You do understand the objective is to display leadership and win. So far Cruz
hasn’t shown the ability. Until he can show that then the public will search for
someone who can. So far Trump has been the only one to show that and time is running
short for Edward to make his leadership case.
Then you should be able to vote for Cruz with a clear conscience.
And, a fortune teller too!
YOU’RE FIRED!
Not fortune telling, it's called political analysis, something of which I assume is a foreign skill to you.
If I thought Trump would actually do any of those things, I would think a lot better of him.
Yeah, that’s it...

This is so easy, even the Democrats are beginning to catch on. Donald Trump can work with anyone, establishment, liberal, conservative, smart, stupid, but the big difference is that he is not controlled by them or obligated in any way to do what they want. In addition he has plainly stated that he is going to cut off the public feeding trough, so that we, the People, don’t have to pay for these idiots any more.
:)
He and Kasich will be responsible for handing the nomination to one of the GOPe's picks, who like in '08 and '12, will lose to the Democrat1. Then the GOPe - who hates Cruz, will seize the opportunity to stab him in the back, blaming him for the Republicans' loss (it's all Kabuki Theater). Win/Win for the GOPe, Lose/Lose for Cruz.
Cruz knows how to use paragraphs.
If I thought Trump would actually do any of those things, I would think a lot better of him.

Well, that proves that you aren’t a very good mind reader. ;-) Have you tried reading his books? He started laying out his platform thirty years ago.

Now, if any of the Consistent Conservatives had applied even part of this over the past 30 years the country would not be in the shape it is in today. Instead Consistent Conservatives have stood, marched, and yammered for “family values”, “small government”, “lower taxes”, etc., all while just the opposite happened, over and over again. One betrayal of principle after another.
Here is what Donald J. Trump says at the end of The Art of the Deal:
What’s Next
Fortunately, I don’t know the answer, because if I did, that would take half the fun out of it.
This much I do know: it won’t be the same.
I’ve spent the first twenty years of my working life building, accumulating, and accomplishing things that many said could not be done. The biggest challenge I see over the next twenty years is to figure out some creative ways to give back some of what I’ve gotten.
I don’t just mean money, although that’s part of it. It’s easy to be generous when you’ve got a lot, and anyone who does, should be. But what I admire most are people who put themselves directly on the line. I’ve never been terribly interested in why people give, because their motivation is rarely what it seems to be, and it’s almost never pure altruism. To me, what matters is the doing, and giving time is far more valuable than just giving money.
In my life, there are two things I’ve found I’m very good at: overcoming obstacles and motivating good people to do their best work. One of the challenges ahead is how to use those skills as successfully in the service of others as I’ve done, up to now, on my own behalf.
Don’t get me wrong. I also plan to keep making deals, big deals, and right around the clock.
