Moreover, without ever holding a public office his negatives are higher than Hillary Clinton's!!!! I do not understand why anyone on a site called "Free Republic" would support him at this point. You are being duped.
No, ravina, I am not being duped.
The facts are what they are. Trump, whether you like it or not, or whatever anyone else thinks about it, has tapped into the groundswell against establishment politicians.
We need someone like Cruz to balance that equation out and help unite the p[arty so we can make the best of this situation possible and win in November.
And Ted Cruz is the only one who can do that.
That’s why.
At this point, Cruz is not going to get the delegates needed.
Trump very well could.
If we have a bitter, slug-fest at the convention where a Trump with maybe 1150 or more delegates is denied the nomination, the results will almost assuredly throw the election to Hillary which will be far worse. for our nation
So that is why such a deal should be struck.
You may not like it...heck a lot will not like it...but in order to create the best outcome for our republic in this state of affairs, it is what I hope happens.
The man is unprincipled and immoral, and there are hundreds of examples that he has left in his wake to prove the fact that he stands for nothing other than his own self-aggrandizement and wealth/power accumulation. He has stepped on, and mercilessly slandered, more people (both 'little people' and big ones) on his way to the top than most of us even realize.
The thought of a man as personally principled and firmly rooted in the Constitution as Ted Cruz (the only candidate fully capable of filling Ronald Reagan's shoes who has come along since Reagan left the White House) teaming up with such an unprincipled ogre is unconscionable.
We are not supposed to compromise with evil, not matter the threats or repercussions involved.
Even if all we knew about Donald Trump were his most recent offenses committed against Heidi Cruz, that would be sufficient to disqualify him from holding America's highest office, on grounds that he is a lying, superficial, petulant character assassin.
Unfortunately, he has committed significantly more, and deeper, immoral crimes than this latest one. The count increases daily, and if that fact is not significant enough for the American electorate to turn away from this evil man, then America, unfortunately, deserves the bleak future that will lie ahead, whether it be under a Trump or Clinton presidency. If you place your faith in an unprincipled, characterless candidate (no matter the capital letter behind his/her name) who has no respect for truth or personal integrity, you are rolling a pair of dice whose outcome will be disastrous, at best. History is replete with such examples, but we Americans appear to be slow learners, despite the brilliant, painstaking roadmap laid out for us by our Founders and the unimaginable sacrifices they made in order to author it.
