Cruz takes a "strict originalist view of the Constitution". Oh, the horror! Would you risk going to court if the laws were written as "a living document"? Would you play poker in a casino where the rules "evolved with the times"? I need to ride before I go crazy! | ||

That's pretty good. Ted Cruz is a FANATIC...about most of the stuff I also believe. Like, uh, the document which founded this country. After the armed rebellion which created it. | ||
| Hootowl |
Cruz should play that ad on the campaign trail. | ||

I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for who I believe is the best choice for our country's needs. Last few elections I have disliked both candidates. So I have voted for the lesser of two evils. Why does it feel like this year my opinions are just a little extra evil. I really wish people had listened to Rand Paul a little more. First candidate that I could proudly really get behind | ||

Why does it feel like this year my opinions are just a little extra evil. You are not alone. I really wish people had listened to Rand Paul a little more. Who? was he running? He wasn't in the news. | ||

That pic above makes it seem like he just switched to R in the past year or something untruthful. | ||

So when did Trump stop supporting Democrats? What's the truth? | ||
| Sifo |
Seems he was supporting Democrats in the 2012 election... Trump’s donation history shows Democratic favoritism Untruthful? Not so sure about that. | ||

How long before he completely remodels whitehouse (not just oval office).. Marine one will get treatment too... Maybe he will insist his TRUMP logo should hang above the dome, or be put above the flag.....  I bet he thinks about it a few times a day... But I really think Trump will get bored quite easily being commander in chief. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Who did he give his support to in 2012? Did he not endorse Romney? Need video proof of this? I dont doubt he has financially backed some Dems, but he endorsed a R four years ago so its not like he has always been a D. | ||

Last night in his speech (which was very good btw) he named 3-4 states that he would surely be winning over Cruz... all very blue states...He will no doubt attribute that to some of his previous deals and contributions his foes are accusing him of. Notice the way he is being more presidential than all other candidates.. noted with the American flags standing behind him during his speeches, it is a nice touch. Very presidential... Doesn't look like many folks see thru that... or... maybe they believe.. or want to believe. It was a good speech, he IS getting better and better. (yet staying the same) One thing is for sure...He believes. Whoever drops out,... he will start become LIKE them to gain as many or their votes as possible... he is like a chameleon for votes. Deceiving, but strategic. He will flip flop but but such a spin on it, you will get dizzy and want to forget about it. Cruz is pretty much straight on target. Which button would you be more likely to hit?? The oring one? The same old same old? ..., or a New! Daring!... No holds barred! Stick it to em kind of guy!!! I ask, is that the type of person good for the country??? IF he becomes the nominee and POTUS, I would still give him the benefit of the doubt, the exact same amount I gave everyone else including Obama. What could he do in 4 yrs?? Cruz on winning 2 states last night: "a manifestation of a real shift in momentum". Trump on winning 2 states last night: "I would like to take on Ted one-on-one, that would be so much fun." I think everybody really wants to see Trump rip into Hillary very badly (I admit I would love to see that debate) But Cruz would do it too,.. but in a different way, maybe in a way not as entertaining. But people need to focus on after all that smoke clears... and Hillary is out of the picture, and we are sitting with a new President. Who are you picturing in the Whitehouse?? (Im not picturing Trump) | ||

Who did he give his support to in 2012? Well 54% of his cash went to supporting Dems. To then claim that a statement that he was supporting Dems in untruthful, is just ignorant. He was supporting Dems. That's a fact. | ||

Yes. Let us please keep the reasons not to like someone based in facts not lies. There is a LOT of bull being spouted by pundits and pols. Allegedly. ( heard on radio from not fan ) Donald said his contributions were not based on ideology but business. This makes him part of the problem. Not the solution. Heard on NPR from fellow who wrote article on "Trump saving Democracy" also not fan..... that his campaign has exposed the corruption and is therefore a good. Even though the writer doesn't want him to win. Writer also glossed over Hillary's problems as "vast right wing conspiracy" not any fault of the Clintons and their massive corruption. SMOD may be our best hope.  | ||

That's the thing about Trump. His history is to support anyone who will give him the best profitability. Suddenly we are supposed to believe that he can not be swayed by the holy dollar. Does anyone really believe that he won't use his power to benefit his own empire above what is best for the country? He claims that his conflict of interest will be satisfied by having his family take over his business ventures. That's a transition that was likely coming in the near future anyway. Passing things on to your children is part of the American dream. Is it not in his interest to manipulate policy to benefit what will benefit his "family's" empire? Having said that, I do believe that policies that are beneficial to his personal empire will be preferable to the policies of the left. Of course there is the potential of him doing things that will be a target on competitors to his empire. The point here is that Trump isn't a Constitutionalist. He is an opportunist. That doesn't even make him a bad person. It will likely make him a poor leader though. Someone like Cruz OTOH, has a track record as a Constitutionalist. This is the difference between the rule of man vs. the rule of law. Which system would you prefer to exist under? | ||

The delegate count right now has Trump with only a small lead over Cruz. If you take Rubio's delegates and give them to Cruz, Trump is losing. The point being, I am not sure who those delegates go to but can't they go to Cruz if Rubio drops out? | ||
| Blake |
 Trump needs to win over half of the remaining delegates to secure the nomination. That is unlikely to happen. | ||

Trump would be derelict in his duty to his company if he didn't "buy off" politicians. Playing at the level of real estate development that he's involved necessitates it. Developing large real estate projects go nowhere without the blessing of the politicians. Trump has freely admitted he gave money in exchange for favors. There are plenty of other reasons to dislike him but this isn't one of them. | ||

"Trump has freely admitted he gave money in exchange for favors." Blame the politicians, not the ones who have to bribe them to do business. Someone aught to pass the domestic corrupt practices act. Fat chance. | ||

There are plenty of other reasons to dislike him but this isn't one of them. I don't fault him as a business man. The problem is that he is now trying to reinvent himself. His history is what it is. It's dishonest to pretend it never happened. Except of course the parts that fit your reinvention. I just find it funny Hybrid calling a meme dishonest when it is corroborated by a news report from 5 years ago that he wants to ignore. It's not like it's a 5 year old political hack job against Trump the Presidential candidate. It's just Trump's documented history. He has in fact been a big supporter of Democratic politicians. He's not the solution to the problem, he is part of the problem. | ||

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/03/07/trump-d oing-better-in-open-primaries-cruz-sees-success-in -gop-only-contests.html Or it could mean that democrats are voting for Trump because they know the press will turn on him as soon as he is nominated, ensuring their horse wins the general election. | ||

Who did Trump endorse in the past? | ||
| Sifo |
Who did Trump endorse in the past? Trying to move the goal post are we? Who mentioned endorsements? | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
actually look at the post I made the other day, I mention the same thing. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Also, Ted Cruz ate a booger, no thanks. Even if he got the nod I wouldnt vote for him there is just something very unlikable, to me, about him. | ||
| Xdigitalx |
Ted is actually the perfect candidate,... you just can't see it threw the fog. (the media sure doesn't want you to) | ||
| Aesquire |
Perfect candidate? None of them are. Ted may be the best choice for President. There is a difference. | ||
| Sifo |
actually look at the post I made the other day, I mention the same thing. Actually... You ignored the article I posted about his financial donations (support) and focused on a single endorsement. Trump has stated himself that most endorsements are close to useless. | ||
| Aesquire |
Unlikable? Yep. The establishment hates him. Trump says he eats boogers. Few politicians are folk you'd have babysit. But you didn't raise a billion dollars and run so that's what you get. So you're going to move to Canada? Or just help elect Hillary? In November I'll vote for anybody except Clinton It's our duty. Even if it's someone I dislike. Which is likely. Cruz at least supports your civil rights. Hillary sure doesn't. |
