Cruz Plans 'Major' Announcement Amid VP Speculation

[musiclady]

I sat and watched and listened to Cruz and then to Fiorina.  I think they make a great team and are well matched!  Both are very principled, both are passionate about restoring this country (and yes Carly used the word restore), adhering to the Constitution and both spoke from the heart with conviction.  There just isn't any comparison to the lousy foreign policy speech Trump gave earlier in the day. They both made Trump look and sound totally incompetent.

One thing I am certain of; both Cruz and Carly are ready to lead this country and both will beat Hillary!

Cruz/Carly 2016.  Reigniting the Promise of America!

"Butthurt." Sigh. One of the puerile memes I was desperate to get away from at FR.

I guess it is finally time to use that "ignore" feature.

Good plan.

Your life will be much more pleasant now.   

[bolobaby]

I put him on ignore awhile ago and a few others (much more pleasant around here without them) BTW welcome to the forum.

Please, for the love of God, let me NOT hear "cuckservative" here!

I guess the good news is that I will see a lot fewer dismissive emojis now...

Hey, if that's all you got, gotta use 'em.  Ad nauseum....

Are you serious?  Reduced to posting unflattering pictures of Fiorina?

Your boy is a target-rich environment for goofiness:

Except it's not a picture (they don't move) and it's not goofie.     Fiorina is one scary woman.

Sigh... and here we go with the attacks on a person's looks...

Sigh... it's not about whether she's attractive ... this is about whether or not she's sane.

Watch her eyes.

I guess I did need to include a title.

Trump and his followers all low class insults about looks.

What part of the insane question did you not understand?

But, truth be told, IMHO, you sound more politically correct than Hillary Clinton. 

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm sure you're trying to say something terribly clever with this photo .... but what, exactly, would that be?

[mlizzy]

In terms of brainpower and the ability to articulate complex arguments extemporaneously, they may be the most gifted pair ever to seek the Presidency.
(What they perhaps need to work on are diplomatic skills.  Pragmatism, too, is a virtue.)

I am a real fan of Carly Fiorina. I respect Cruz for choosing her,  as well as his idea of choosing her. I've thought for years that it would be a good idea for two candidates to present themselves and compete as a team. It's an unconventional pairing,  but their seriousness of purpose ought to contrast well with a carny barker.   

I hope Cruz/Fiorina buy some serious media in California and just let Carly loose to talk at length about the issues. As for her singing, I find it charming. A couple of months ago she sang on Jimmy Kimmel.   

Yes, brainpower! Lots of it; it's good to see. I wonder if the two of them play chess; they'd make a great team.

After hearing Carly sing, my husband suggested she sing Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" to Donald Trump! ^-^

   The anti-Trumps started that long ago.

Trump's puerile coprophagic act will not wear well in the fall.

You complain about Trump being obnoxious  and you're just plain vulgar.

It's amazing what a vile influence he's been on his devotees.

I wonder how many of his groupies would even consider belittling women based on their looks before they heard him do it so often.

I swear, he's like a bully in an elementary school, and he has his little followers trying to be as bad as he is.

[LonestarDream]

Jonah Goldberg makes this point all the time about Lord Acton's famous quote of power corrupting absolutely.

The principle corruption happens to the followers of the leader, not the leader 'per se'

Having said that

Very good point........... and we're seeing it happen before our very eyes.

[mlizzy]

I'm with you on that, mlizzy! I think a Cruz/Carly ticket is a dream ticket!

A dream ticket indeed!

[LonestarDream]

To be fair, not ALL Trump supporters are nasty.

But Trump does bring out the 'basest instinct' in some supporters.

And to think that some lowlifes can only attack Carly for her looks.

Trump has brought the decency of political discourse down to an unbelievable nadir.....

I never thought I'd see people on our side of the aisle behaving like boors, but it's happening before our very eyes...

[musiclady]

please change quite to quote

   at myself

I figgered it out!  ^-^

(But I'll edit my post anyway.  The edit feature here is great!)

Thanks .. More for me than you

Oh, absolutely.  They're not all behaving badly.  But a heck of a lot of them are.

[LonestarDream]

Trump is not a conservative, he is a populist.

BUT he has made a deep emotional connection with his supporters.   

And I give him credit for that as he WILL shake things up if elected...

Oh, absolutely.  They're not all behaving badly.  But a heck of a lot of them are.
