Wait a minute! You're a Trump supporter. Your guy says he doesn't need the Pubs

You're wrong. Trump never said he didn't NEED the Pubs.

Referring to Cruz as a 'Bush camp person' doesn't reflect well on the average Trump fanatic's grasp of reality.

I think Trump supporters take their lead from Trump. His strategy is to lie about his opponents and say they are things they aren't. Anyone who follows politics knows Sen Cruz has never been a part of the DC cartel and is his own man. Those that claim otherwise are just ignorant.

You did know He was Bush's lawyer right? Why do you think he called Bush Camp to save his losing campaign?

LOL

Cruz is from Texas, too. Lived there when Bush was governor.

Coincidence?

I think not.

NeverTrumps would never lie about things that Trump said or they allege that he said, would they.

oh hes way out there, But #neverTrump is desperate and getting crazier each day. They really think they can get Cruz or another Bush camp person in his place.

Sorry, I just do not see any proof of that, certainly 5% of the rules committee at this point ain't gonna get it
  This is the media working to shift attention from the real divide that is happening in the D camp.

Cruz was born in Canada. Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister, coincidence? I think not.

You nailed us on that one.

Trump said he didn't need a unified GOP, nor does he need conservatives.

But he NEVER said he doesn't need repubs.

Ted Cruz is an honorable, principled man. I am proud of his record fighting the Washington Cartel as my senator.
Principles matter. Words matter.

He never said he didn't need, he said he thought he could still win without unity. There is a significant difference.

The Republican party is now larger then it has been for a long time and looking at not only taking the white house by a landslide it will drag the down races across to the win with it.

Every reason #neverTrump has used has fallen apart.
Let me get this straight.

You want a liberal "republican" in the White House.
With the down ticket of GOPE (because I haven't seen anything about TEA party Candidates this time, and all but a couple of the last crop are GOPE) in the House and Senate,

Plus more GOPE all the way down the food chain.

Because that's what you're going to get.

And because the GOPE Congress last time (not counting Cruz, Lee, and a couple of others) did such a spot-on, bang-up job of stopping Obama cold in his tracks and driving the demons of Socialism back into the abyss, Maybe you could explain exactly what different results you expect?

Oh, yeah ...WALL!

What a pant load post... Trump holds many conservative positions, in several areas more than Cruz did, such as  in the areas of National security, Jobs. Dealing with Islam and Illegals, Guns, Govt agencies, etc. calling him a liberal because he does not give lip service to talking point (losing) social conservative issues is myopic and more than a little crazy. Need only look at all those approved "conservatives" people like you selected in the past and how they have been on social issues.

So now that we have addressed the hypocrisy and neocon part of the screed. Tell us what possible conservative position you are hoping to achieve with fighting for all 3 branches of government to become democrat controlled for at least your children's generation?

Funny thing about Cruz tho, he spoke out of both sides of his mouth. He said one thing to people like you then voted to renew the Patriot Act, Attempted to increase H1B visas by 500 percent, Double the number of Muslim Rapefugees coming in, Pushed amnesty for illegals, Pushed TPP with Globalist Ryan, handed out gift baskets to illegals at the border with Beck, etc.

The only platform observant people saw with Cruz was that he pushed the Globalist agenda at every opportunity. What is there to conserve if we have no country? A globalist cannot be a conservative no matter how much lip service is given to social issues. Issues the office of the President does not have the authority to control anyway.   

The one who had buttons pushed was you.

He's made no affirmative statements about the 2nd Amendment.  Or what he will do to stop states and the Feds from infringing upon gun ownership.

He has no strategy about ISIS.  Nothing that he has said in public that could be construed as a plan.

He's backtracked on the judges list already.

His trade views are NOT Conservative.  If you think they are then you were asleep in your Civics and Econ classes.

He's not addressed jobs other than to say he'd force companies to keep their production here and punish those that move.  Newsflash...that's NOT a jobs "strategy"



Trump is an empty suit with meaningless platitudes on issues that people want to know about...and you just keep repeating those mindless ramblings as if they are fact and actual policy.

Sad.
