Linky on the coke thing?

Were you expecting support from The National Enquirer, 8 mistresses crowd?
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Nope. Didn't expect a linky to be forthcoming, but I had to give 'em their shot.

Fiorina is liked in California?  Now your Cruzoids are just making up crap and hoping it flies.

Sounds like you've moved over from FR.  Same attitude; same language.

I like Carly, as a VP candidate? I guess, I could live with it if she were selected.

She's as smart as a whip really and very articulate.

On the other hand, politically, not really a proven winner.

Exactly how I feel about it too.  Look at the state he's trying to win next.  Maybe an endorsement from Mike Pence?

I don't mind the poor language skills from Trumpsters.  He does have the uneducated as one of his major constituencies.  If we limit their voice we will be the same as FR.  I think we are smart enough to see who the emotionally charged non-thinking people are on this forum.

Whoever it is, he or she will appeal to Indiana and California voters. In doing so, Cruz will win Indiana, and split the CA delegates just enough. Meanwhile Kasich will focus his attention on Oregon, and Arizona.

Another dumb idea, from the brilliant Constitutional scholar from Goldman Sachs, Alberta branch.

It is highly presumptive to name a VP mate, when you are mathematically eliminaTED from winning.

Reasonable people will laugh at him. What is he smoking? Who does he think he is?

But he is anoinTED, so such conceiTEDness should not be unexpecTED.  But it is not smart politics, in this case.

========================

Makes WAY too much sense.

I have no problem being politically invesTED in a capable, knowledgeable and serious conservative.

On the other hand, I would be embarrassed beyond words to associate myself with a rude, obnoxious, poorly-educated bully who gleefully whips crowds into orgasms of anger and resentment and who will, if nominated, destroy what is left of the Republican Party to which he has never been truly attached in the first place.

And in truth: it is Trump's supporters, and not Trump who have finally made up my mind for me.

I will NEVER vote for that piece of garbage, no matter what - because of his corrosive and debasing influence.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Excellent post!   My feelings exactly.   Trump's scary, and his supporters are even scarier.

So far she is a two-time loser, in politics. Many consider her a loser in business.

But Cruz doesn't need a VP, cuz he ain't going nowhere but back to the Senate for Texas.

She made much needed post-Dotcom changes at bloated HP and that involved layoffs and selling some business units.   Boxer used that very effectively against her.   There will be an endless queue of weepy victims who will testify how Carly ruined their lives by laying them off.

Do you think Pence is dumb enough to hitch his political future to this delusional loser REJECTED Cruz?
Guess who got the NYT's endorsement in the GOP primary?

I believe Cruz will be making a much bigger announcement.

My son just texted the same thing.  drop out?  I would really be surprised if he suspended before Indiana, unless it is as Trump VP (which is a possibility) or hope of a Scotus appointment.  suspense!

If it is so important to Trump supporters to support a politician who has supported partial birth abortion supporters like Hillary Clinton, let the Trump supporters have their field day with all their "mean" remarks.

Trump would be the one to announce that he's selected Cruz...Cruz wouldn't make the announcement before Donald.  I would be flabbergasted if the two of them decided to run together.

I don't know much about Mike Pence but he appears as a RINO to me.  So maybe he will back Trump.

If Rubio and Kasich endorsed Cruz and pledged their delegates to him, that would be a major coup considering what delegates are left to be chosen. I doubt that would happen, but as much as they are against Trump, nothing would surprise me at this point. I think most traditional Republicans would rather have a solid conservative than a liberal, wannabe Republican.

Not going to happen.  Kasich would have had to announce that he's dropping out.  He's going to ride this to the end; hoping to be Trump's VP.
