No Trump is a Clinton. He's on recod as praising Bill Clinton, he's on record as praising Hillary Clinton's job as Sec. of State, and he was a registered Democrat for the first four years of Obama. Furthermore he's admitted to being friends with the Clintons and his campaign was started by a phone call with the Clintons.

Don't confuse them with facts! It irritates them to no end!

And, apparently, not all Republicans know how to use apostrophes.
They are just being overly possessive.

LOL, Rush is saying no one else would ever have allowed such a speech to be read---only Trump, because he's playing chess and set a brilliant trap for Cruz!

lololol *deep breath* lmao

Most certainly Mr. Trump will have a response.  It will thrill his supporters.  We will be told the trap was set perfectly.

I love that.  Thank you.  Who said it?  Just some random unknown?
Someone posted it to my post on Facebook, she saw it on someone elses page, so not sure who said it. But it is oh so relevant.

I'm hearing they might put John Boehner on stage tonight to rebut Cruz. it would complete the freak show full circle.

The idea just drips with irony.

Irony, sadly, is lost on the trumpbots.

The fact the Trump fanatics continue to hate-bash Cruz and Conservatives who will not support and genuflect their prince, tells you that it is not Hillary they fear, hate and loathe….

… it's you and me.

'Vote Your Conscience' was a Rohrschach test, and the Trump campaign failed miserably

http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php?topic=216842.new#new

Not just the Trump camp...but others who don't support Trump.  I have a co-worker who does not like Cruz, and said he thought his speech was "childish".  He also pointed out he doesn't support Trump either.

Childish?  How so?  So many are MISSING THE POINT of Ted's message, all because they hate the messenger. :facepalm:

Due to the fact that the Trump mob has nothing better to do but hit the report button to the mods over every single thing that they find objectionable, I have been instructed to remove the historical date reference of my comment because the precious snowflakes for Trump are offended at the reference.

It's [deleted]  folks, and you are watching a mob pine for a dictator to rule and crush everyone who will not bow and genuflect.

The fact the Trump fanatics have demonstrated they hate Constitutional Conservatives and men like Ted Cruz more than they attack Hillary is all you need to know about who they consider the real enemy to be.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Yeah rebut, conservative principles, following your conscience, and the consitution.  :thud:

I'll have to try and catch that.

Facts, Truth, Honor, Conviction, Courage, Principle, Value, Integrity, Character, Patriotism and Class are just a few of the 'pesky' intrusions that the Trump Family did not welcome in Ted's speech. A picture is worth a thousand words. Their body language, their facial expressions when Ted Cruz spoke with truth and sincerity was not well received by the Trump family. NO indeed, they were not happy campers that Ted effectively and with class challenged their father to step up to the plate and adhere to the Constitution and our conservatives beliefs. And Ted succinctly did it so well.

Proverbs 1: 16-19 Comes to mind.
"For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof."

Donald Trump's own words about THAT PLEDGE


www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKVCHuhIZ40

My God. Listening to this, I can't help but wonder if Trump actually says, "I... me..." *more* than Obama!
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!

Who said this about the loyality pledge back in March?

I'll give you one guess and it isn't Cruz.
