Ted cruz is the ONLY politician I have ever encountered in my considerably long life that is DOING in office exactly what he promised to do while campaigning for that office.

Hope that helps!

I crossed the Other Cuban off my list several debates ago.   So I have two choices left to ponder.

At this point it is about numbers. Cruz is the only one in a mathematical position to stop Trump without going the contested convention route. To put it in Football terms, it is mid 2nd quarter and Team trump is up 14 to 10*. There is still a lot left to be played.

The other two didn't even make the playoff and are just still playing hoping one of the main teams drops out.

*Don't get me wrong, this isn't a game and I think too many are treating it as such. Just an analogy.

Contested convention is the only real way at this point.

Actually not. It is the reason the media is really pushing hard for their golden hared boy right now. If Rubio and Kasich drop out and pledge behind Cruz, even now that would put it at a virtual tie with more than half the States still able to vote. There are  more than enough outstanding delegates now for either Cruz or Trump to win it cleanly without a contested convention.

Cruz lost me when he allowed the Bush nose under his administration tent.

I won't be voting for anyone in the presidential primary.

Even though that Bush is not a Jeb?

When do we judge people solely by their name versus their personal beliefs and actions? We aren't a caste system or a monarchy where a name is all that matters. Neil isn't political like the rest of his family, he is a very, very successful businessman and by all accounts, very Conservative. He has not even been overtly involved in any of his family's political campaigns. His businesses have been on the up and up without scandal of cronyism or corruption (the biggest dirt on him was he made a lot of money off trading Kopin stock, was accused of insider trading, but was later cleared as he just made a pattern trade that many of others did.).

He is still the spawn of Poppy and Babs. The Bush Crime Family is a collective,not isolated individuals. Anybody that thinks Baby Bruddr Neil isn't a family agent still believes in Santa.

I find is especially ironic Neil Bush,the head of a savings and loan that "lost" 5 Billion with 5 million of that being traced directly to Neil being hired to be a part of his financial team is ironice beyond belief,given that Neil's answer to "What happened to the money?" was "I doan no. I doan no nutting bout no bankin!" And yes,both JEB and GW had unpaid and unrecoverable loans out of that S&L.

When you let the beak into the door,it's not long before the rest of the vulture shows up.

It's laughable that you can Neil a successful businessman not involved in the fambly crime business of politics. Who do you think it was that took over Uncle Prescott Bush the Thirds position in the Chinese-American Chamber of Commerce?

I'm not buying that dumbass "lesser of two evils" crap anymore. Evil is evil,regardless of what party they come from.

And finally,*I* am NOT responsible for the decisions other people make. If you vote for the losing candidate,you have nobody to blame but yourself.
