grrr I know how that happened. I hit the back button. Sorry.
I said Trump was trying to help Cruz from the start. Thank him.
That's laughable. Nobody has spent more time, to greater acclaim, in the South than Donald Trump. Trump is beating Cruz in TX and he's beating Rubio and Bush combined in FL.
I guess the best medicine tastes the worst.
Yep...see my post #23.
I am betting on a pompous loud mouthed Yankee to blow away the Establishment......

It is a strange world. It will make it much easier to get Americans to rally behind a president if they are not living paycheck to paycheck. Democrat or Republican, who can improve our economy by renegotiating these trade agreements? It is hard to keep a republic intact when people feel such economic pressure.
I like Cruz but he wont win Tennessee. Just wait. Everyone wants a ball busting alpha, tired of PC BS
I never gave him much thought before this. I confess I was really surprised that he is down to earth and not self centered. I’m impressed by him, actually, and grateful that he’s running. :-) But he’s very different than a Southern gentleman.

ROFL
I am in the same boat with you!
I find it hard to believe I am now so strongly for Trump, after being so strongly for Cruz.
Lol. Excellent description of Trump and the dilemna he poses.
I'm still a Cruzer, just sent in another donation, but I really do love what the Donald is doing to the msm and the gope.
My daughter is a Trumpster, and so we watch many of Trump rallies and while they are very repetitive, he really gets the crowd jazzed up.
The excitement is real.
“Trump is beating Cruz in TX”
I live in TX and can assure you that Cruz will win TX in a landslide.
“Trump will sweep the South in the primaries.”
Trump will lose TX by a mile. I live here and so do all of my family and friends and nobody is sold on Trump except the Debra Medina holdouts and they don’t have enough votes. Sorry...
“Trump will lose TX by a mile.”
We’ll see, won’t we. Will get back to you after the results, lol.
I have some pretty large circles that I deal with and I have yet to meet a Trump supporter in person. I have yet to meet anyone that evens knows a Trump supporter in person. Registered Republicans, which are the only ones able to vote in the TX primary, are overwhelmingly supporting Cruz right now from everything that I’ve seen (local polls, signs, comments, etc).
The democrat Cruz ran against in Texas for the senate beat him bad in the hispanic vote, getting 60% of hispanic support compared to 40% for Cruz. His last name might be Cruz, but his support is mainly white conservatives. Maybe if he spoke Spanish he would appeal to Texas hispanics, but then again I know plenty of Texas hispanics that can’t speak a word of Spanish.
That’s now what the polls are saying.
“40% for Cruz”
Keep in mind that most of the Hispanics are registered DEMOCRATS and can’t vote in the REPUBLICAN primaries so your comparison is pointless.
Trump may be able to win in a general election in TX if democrats (aka Hispanics) could vote for him, but Trump will not win the primary because the primary is restricted to registered republicans only.
“That’s now what the polls are saying”
Not sure if you were agreeing or disagreeing, but local polls are showing that, among registered republicans, which are the only votes that matter in the TX primary, Cruz is leading by a wide margin.
“The democrat Cruz ran against in Texas for the senate beat him bad in the hispanic vote”
Yet, Cruz still had a landslide victory in that race...
