Agree. I am voting for Cruz. Walker and Paul could get my vote if they win the nomination as well, but I don’t see voting for any of the others.

I can't resist repeating my post from two days ago since it appears that reporters from the WT are lurking here at FR.

I wrote:

Rubio is the current backup for Jeb in the category: NOT TED CRUZ.

Others to named later and ultimately, out of necessity, with the “regretful” choosing of Hillary Clinton.

Absolutely right. I have never skipped voting, local, state ornational. I ALWAYS vote. I may not have voted for McAmnesty, but I did vote for Bob Barr.

We elected Dave Brat here in VA against a very well funded Majority Leader who was a lying weasel. Every vote counts, even those for third party candidates. The GOP needs to see that there were votes they could have gotten.

Not exactly a run away for any candidate at this stage of the game:

Quinnipac Poll:

Rubio 15, Bush 13, Walker 11, Cruz 9, Paul 8, Huckabee 7, Christie 7, Carson 3, Perry 3, Santorum 2, Kasich 2, Jindal 1

I think it's good for the media to know that little Freepers like me are not only sending money to FR, which is a normal thing, but sending money to Cruz. And that is new.

As for me and my house, our time and effort and dollars will go to support Cruz.

Not any other politician. Ever.

They are not ignoring their base. The GOPe is still courting their democrat folks. Still voting overwhelmingly with Obama.

You have no good choices, nor do you have representation after the election, but you can choose the lesser of two evils....

"Were it not for the immigration bill debacle, Rubio has a pretty good record and advocacy for conservatism."

Its not just the bill.

He's full-on open borders zealot. He would sell your children's future in order to serve those who now own him.

He's an un-American traitor.

I’m thinking seriously of voting for the opposition. I have been thinking this way since the big letdown since November, when we put in a GOP majority which gives every indication that they hold their own voters in complete contempt and refuse to take any action that they promised—that we’re just livestock that McConnell sells to Buffett, or just idiots that Paul Ryan tries to manipulate for Zuckerberg. (Anyone see that snake oil on Greta last night?)

But which is more evil--the devil we know, the incompetent Hillary, or the GOP who lies to us and then betrays us? Is Rubio really better than Hillary?

Not this go round.

Well, if we can’t get Jeb nominated to lose against Hillary!, then Rubio will be the second best one to do so.

There’s something to be said for being totally screwed. You stop being wishy washy about taking your country back and take action. Could be that is what we need...

If Rubio wins in 16 he will probably appoint Jebby to head up immigration, I think.

Wrong.

America has learned the GOP as it stands today
are liars, thieves, and the ORIGINATORS of
gay marriage by decree (Romney’s) and
RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE/DeathCARE.

That makes for a good choice.

Sen. Cruz will be the candidate or Ms. Clinton
will be the President.
