First, let’s be adults and not call people by second grade names, okay? Bush, not “Boosh”.

Second, “the NWO stuff” is buzzword talk for non-specifics that people hear second and third hand.

Have specific issues with Cruz? Fine. But this smear with a wide brush and the concern troll attacks are just unneeded and unwanted.

It’s gone on for too long.

Much much much much much more likely Trump would run “third party” (I) if he loses than the “the GOP” putting up a independent candidate if he wins.

Never happen. Like a lot of people, Trump doesn't think Cruz is eligible for the job. 🎲

GOP Establishment will hand a brokered convention to someone who cannot beat Hillary; Obama will pardon her and she’ll skate into the WH.

The GOPe wants to lose but keep the Uniparty alive. So do the GOPe publications and talk radio to pretend it’s still a two-party system.

To fool the American people just one more time, if they can. Their paychecks depend upon it.

“Second, “the NWO stuff” is buzzword talk for non-specifics that people hear second and third hand.”

That’s simply not true. There was a post of an article here on FR a few days ago about the Cruzes and specifically what they’ve been doing with resepect to the Council on Foreign Relations. Creating a North American Union was a goal of the “Booshes,” and Ted Cruz was involved. I wasn’t smearing anyone, but rather simply pointing out one crucial area of his background that was of great concern to me. Sorry, but that’s how I see it whether you like it or not. I guess for you, hearing something you don’t like is a “smear” irrspective of the truthfulness of it. And if you go back to the first part of what I wrote, I said that I was in favor of Trump and Cruz joining forces.

The juvenile name calling is just a big irritant for me. We are adults.

I understand people’s concerns for the CFR, but that is like being against all Psychologists because of the declassification of homosexuality in the DRM-III. The CFR has a ton of different things going on, most of which have nothing to do with globalization or a North American Union or any other things. But, I can see your concern. That is specific and not “the NWO stuff”, which is so broad and so non-specific as to be a worthless charge.

Trump doesn’t believe his own bluster.

the Cruz and Robot tag teaming and backslapping against Trump is further proof of this
*********************************
I suppose that explains why Cruz has set up ten centers in Florida to aid him in blowing Rubio out of the race...

Cruz is a Nwo guy.

Cruz is a staunch believer of the Constitution, in the same manner as Scalia was, so how does that make him a NWO guy?

It’s too bad Trump has scorched too much earth with Cruz and his supporters.
************************
I tend to agree with you. Trump has displayed lack of self control like a wild wolf that someone has taken in and tried to train as they would a dog. The wolf is still going to be true to his nature and Trump does the same.

I don’t think Trump has scorched the earth nearly as much as many of his supporters have.
********************************
Agree. I also want to say your analysis in post 25 was very good.

There seem to be some specific examples from history they can look to...

IMO, the ticket that leaves a brokered GOP convention will be Romney/Kasich.

Nope. If Trump can’t get the nom I’m thinking a Ryan/Cruz or Romney/Cruz unity ticket. Cruz won’t have the most delegates and the GOPe will never give him the top of the ticket due to “electibility issues”. Hillary will run the same voter suppression campaign the Kenyan used and she will coast to victory. We’ve seen that movie before. It has a bad ending. Only one candidate breaks the template. Trump. Trump or lose.

The dirty secret is that there are no personal issues. That’s what many Freepers just don’t get. It’s bluster and rhetoric, Trump and Cruz can work together because they don’t take the insults and attacks personally or seriously.

90% of Freepers would cheer for joy if the two got together. The other 10% will go insane.


Here's hoping you are right:

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
