I love Mark Levin so much that it will break my heart if he endorses Trump.  He may, in which case I will have to stop listening until after the election.  Just don't have the stomach to hear my favorite radio guy telling me to vote for the Crooked Slanderer.  We'll see.

Right, but just because some honorable people make the wrong choice.. is no reason not to cast them out.

That is what trump/NY delegation did.... to them "wrong choice" was not falling on bended knee to kiss El Douches ring.

There is a difference between us and them, that is as defined as between People and progressives.

Cruz booed offstage after talking about the importance of principle. Eric Trump, who donated $10,000 to Schumer, followed him.

More efficient government is a nice idea, but I want less government. I don't need the Federal Government deciding what light bulbs to put in my sockets, where the cattle can water, how much my toilet can flush in one shot, whether I can fill in that low spot in the yard, or even cut down a tree. It's my land, I'll take care of it, just as my ancestors did the land relatives are still on for over 350 years...and still being farmed.

Making construction private above 96th street is less AND more efficient government.

Just trying to be helpful.  I'm sorry you feel that being called a "Trump Supporter" is a personal attack.  :seeya:

If it's a lie it is.

I supported Cruz over Trump; but the blood sport here is beyond the pale.

I will be loyal to the party, if this is what people want to say they are not, per whomever the party nominates, Romney or whomever, it should be seen for that.

Yes, pure conservatives who don't get anything done. Reminds me of a Senator.

OMGosh.  They are horrible.  They don't even know what they are talking about.  All emotion.  Hmm.....reminds me of BLM during the Ferguson riots.

They are the same mindless idiots that shout "Hands up, don't shoot".  They are either too stupid to know it's a lie or they don't care that it's a lie.  They're "Liars For Trump".  Liars and thugs.

This is a great thread with intelligent comments about an incredible speech by Ted Cruz, and this guy comes and vomits all over it with complete nonsense.

A gracious photo op, and an old picture, thousands of slanders ago.

Yes, Cruz was respectful to all the candidates. He is a gentleman who was viciously smeared by Trump and his minions. There is no way his principled would allow him to endorse Trump. It seems that Trump supporters love to make their point with photos instead of intelligent discourse.

Then maybe the "Cruzey Morons" per as an example, of the  abuse levelled at others on this website by Anti-Trumpers, should go argue with their dogs.

Personal attacks really is one half of what the Cruz supporters do on this website. And here, some were crying about the owner using profanity when the Cruz supporters bread and butter is just insulting others.
An observation. All you have done on this thread is to troll for something to whine about. I don't care who you support or don't support, we really don't need that crap. '
Inevitably, troll, you will whine about this comment, too. Have at, cause I really don't care WTF you think.

Tom I haven't put one person on ignore up til now.  I don't understand your fixation with this that you have to keep spamming us. Yes, Ted is a classy guy that was respectful and cordial to all the other candidates, even Trump. We got it, buddy. Quit spamming us with this nonsense.

Wonder what pill popping drug addict Douche Limblob will say about Cruz? Douche loves Trump, praises him every day.

Rush and certain other prominent talk show hosts will have to change their schticks to omit the word 'conservative' because this election season has revealed that they could not care less about supporting what are widely considered conservative principles.

Ratings & access they care about most definitely. But not conservatism.

BREAKING: Sources with the RNC say @Tedcruz speech was 'classless.' Party officials expected him to congratulate @realDonaldTrump.

Except Cruz did congratulate Trump at the very beginning of the speech.

Sources say that brilliant speech was "classless?"

Did it not have enough brass and gold plastered all over everything to denote "class?"

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!

I wish he spoke like this during the primaries. One of Cruz's biggest problems is he spoke like a preacher- speaking at people instead of to them.

Cruz is young.

Wise advice.  I won't cast him out.  I'm just saying that I might not be able to listen if he starts telling me to vote for the worm.

I got that from you Rat Patrol... I was using your comment to reach the broader Community.  :laugh:

I really used to think that Rush was genuine about conservatism.............. until he fell in love with a leftist.

I'll never listen to him again.

Cruz gave a great soaring speech. Not endorsing Trump was him standing on principle. He's literally the most compelling political figure on either side.

Maybe this is 1976?

Wow, the audience is booing this. Thanks for confirming what I saw in the split in the party.

It is about the party game, not the principle.

Thank you for exposing it Cruz.
:soangry:
What I find absolutely disturbing, even though I had the tv muted the entire time, with closed caption on, is that every time I looked up from the thread to read the screen, Eric was going on and on about his dad, how great he is, how wonderful he is, how successful he is, how rich he is, Trump this and Trump that. :banging:   I didn't see him mention the Constitution (go figure) and I didn't see anywhere he'd mentioned it's about the people, or infer anything about conservative values .  It was as it always is with the Trumps...about THEM.  Trump Trump Trump Trump. ***suicide***

I am SO sick of Trump and his entire cabal of rich silver spoon elitist family and groveling friends.   888buttkisser To those who support him, it's not about the country.  It's not even about the Party.  It's about Trump.  The more I see what these tools are saying, the more I see what the people cheer....and what they've booed.   :media: It's disgusting. :3:



So glad Cruz is still THE MAN and he's still fighting  :bullie pirate: and Thank The Lord above he said what I knew he'd say....vote your conscience!!! :flag:
