I think he is.  I can't remember a candidate that was working against his own campaign like Trump does.  He sounds like a 2nd grade school bully.

He sounds like a borderline retardate, or someone with psychiatric issues.  The kind which would have had most people on the Short Bus and then Sheltered Workshops.

Being the dull-normal son of a political crony, does have its advantages.  For him.  For the rest of the country, now, not so much.

......." That's why I rarely post here anymore. This place is toxic to the Republic.".......

I can relate to that.....wasn't like this a few months ago......at least then there was reasonable debate and discussion during the primary, but now there's so many disgruntled posters that it's hard to even post about 'the real enemy' .....the Progressive/Liberal Agenda which Hillary and the Demoratic Party Represents and  are set to destroy what freedoms we have left........let alone being set up for this nation being dominated by Islam or liberals and their ideologies.... I'd rather fight against that Tusami  trying to prevent both than to live on my knees to either of them.

And just as a side note to further prove my point....."Illegals will be voting......
Obama has allowed some 400,000 unskilled 'Central American migrants' to pour into the nation since 2012....add to that all the Muslims being brought in "the night"....and the Mexican/Latino's both legal and otherwise.....  Not to mention those here legally.....

Every vote counts to stop this nation becoming a third world duping zone which we will surely be paying for.

To vote for Trump is to take us leaps and bounds in a liberal position.  Gay rights, Abortion, Transbathrooms......

His whole campaign is a lie.  He hasn't meant anything he says.  His wife takes words from Michelle Obama's speech because she admires her.  Donald Trump pandering to Bernie Sanders Communist votes.  And him..........his whole position to make sure to put Americans back to work as he works to put more foreign workers to work in his own hotels.  He's a phony who is destroying the party within.

Someone should get the Trump family voting records.  Ivanka is a liberal.  His family votes Democratic.  His kids couldn't even vote for him in the Primaries.

So all of those things you say are true.  But we don't even have a clue what we will get with Trump.  He changes his positions day to day.  And he doesn't even run his own businesses on the positions he is promoting.

24/7 misrepresentation of what Donald Trump says. That's all #NeverTrump has.

Hit, as Trump clearly distinguished in the context of his use of the term, equals "hard hitting verbal response" as in "counterpoint."

You people are so transparent. Aren't you embarrassed that this is what you've been reduced to in order to scrape up any old criticism of Mr. Trump?

The die were cast when your candidate took the low (LOW) road back in the primaries.

Sure it was alot fun for you guys but there're alot of burned bridges to contend with now.

Hopefully the next political shiny object to come along will know better.

I saw this coming, right from the day he started in with the personal attacks.

IMAGINE how successful he WOULD have been, had he stuck to the position papers his staff were putting out.  THAT was good stuff - and that's what launched him.  He'd have gotten who he has now, most of them, and most of us, too.  I was favorably impressed back then - surprised that such a babbling, inarticulate celebutard would have thought through or gotten input like that.

Cruz would have probably pulled out earlier - Cruz is basically a friendly, affable sort.  Remember the pic of the two of them together?  Cruz had no rancour.  I think if he saw someone was carrying the Conservative banner, and carrying it better, he'd have let that person take the lead.

That would have given them both the option of having Cruz on the ticket as VP.  THAT, and the SERIOUS Trump, would have made this an unstoppable juggernaut.

But that is fantasy.  The purpose of these long campaigns is to let the voter vet the candidate - see the real man behind the mask and the posters.

I have seen, and now I need an eyewash.

If Trump doesn't win this campaign it will send a strong message to GOP.  Not interested.

If Trump doesn't win this campaign the GOP will take all of the wrong lessons away from it.

The common wisdom will end up being he was 'too conservative', and border security is a losing issue, and the unappeasable right wing of the party self destructed.

Count on it.

Everyone here hates Bloomberg worth a pashion, but save the I'd like to punch him comments for unanimous forum post or the loud guy at the end of the bar. The President should be above all that, all of his other childish comments.

Trump knows the "beasts" he's up against...and you can be certain the game they're playing is far more deadly and vicious than anything Trump says in not meeting peoples standard for how they want a President to speak ....you're just not seeing it. ...and I support his playing tough..... Voters supporting Trump understand there are no referees in this fight anymore.....yet you want Trump to put on the same 'masks' the Demorats put on every day.

I would think people would understand , at the very least, this election is not "normal".....by any stretch of the imagination.

Obama is filing an "electronic terrorism" case against Wikileaks to protect the DNC and Hillary's election........he's just won the right for "illegals  to vote".......Trump is not INSIDE to juggle the laws.....he must show his toughness otherwise and put them all on alert. I gladly support his ONLY leverage....the stage and his voice to call them out.

At the DNC they were burning US flags and Israels Flag outside, banners of Arab/Palestinians inside..... while accomodating Islamic with prayer rooms and foot washing. ...and did not show the US flag anywhere in sight until there was public outcry. Was that not sufficient to show what this election is up against?


..At Hillary's World  DNC:

 Spaces for prayer,the only sign of religion in any of the spaces was Islam.
a mat set up on the floor presumably facing Mecca and a sanitizing station so Muslims cold wash before they pray.

Burning US flags...

Burning Israeli flag

Arab Muslim Palestinian flag with no US flag in site....delegates were told not to bring flags.

Not a US Flag in sight on this dismal anti-American stage.

There is ONLY one Patriotic American opposing this  Hillary/Demoratic "darkness" ......

You people thrive on push-back. Without someone coming in and disagreeing with your foolishness, you've got nothing to cling to but the echo of self-sustaining hatred.

That's why I rarely post here anymore. This place is toxic to the Republic.

But .....you must love toxicity....since you love Donald Trump.  And no candidate has been more toxic to the Republic than Trump.  No candidate has been more of a 'tool' of the radical left than The Don.

You can decide for yourself what to make of this happening 3 days before the RNC Convention..... An innocent acceptance of a free plane ride with potential future globalist power players', or something else. If I was running for Presidential office and knew the underhanded tactics of politics I sure wouldn't have been comfortable with this regardless of how it was explained away.  Perhaps Cruz gives Trump reason to suspect....

Yes, probably.  An innocent acceptance of a little courtesy or fun experience - by a man no longer a candidate.

This may show one of Cruz' blind sides in a national campaign.  He has no idea the DEPTHS to which the RINOs and DemocRats will work together to falsely smear someone they see as a threat to their money-stream.

Glad to know this, though.  I won't be voting for Cruz for President.  At least not this year.

Donald Trump is the most toxic danger to the Republic in my lifetime.

If you would just once look objectively at the ugly words your hero says you would see what all other rational conservatives see.

He's an awful human being.

And this place is a breath of fresh air unlike most others.

If it were not, you wouldn't be allowed to regurgitate such inane things and not get booted.

Wow.  The obsession with Cruz is frightening.  He went to Dallas because of the murders of Dallas police in his home state.

To make that something evil takes a distortion of thinking that is disturbing.

And to still be ranting about it, makes me worry about your state of mind, WAC.  I would suggest counseling......

The choice is Hillary Islamization of America where innocent Americans will be killed or Trump who wants to retain our national identity.
And least it's forgotten... it was OK for Obama to say he and his lemmings will bring a gun to the knife fight....he won.

Further it's pretty obvious we are indeed watching the realignment of both parties...but as the election stands now there is only one candidate who will come close to upholding the constitution..and it isn't any Demorat.

Well Hillary might have had some input when she convinced her Democrat pal, Donald to run against her so that she could win....

Other than that, I agree with you that it is Donald J. Trump who has savaged both the Republican party and the Conservative movement.

Trump doesn't need a reason to go after who he considers his 'real enemy' to be.  And that would be conservatives....any and all, and especially Ted Cruz.  Conservatism is too big of a threat to his 'big government' aspirations.  He and Hillary have that (in addition to other liberal stances) in common.

All right.  That's one good reason to vote for the dull-normal Tammany bagman.

Let's see him at least reassure us on THIS point.  That's all I ask...just persuade me of ONE REASON why I can believe Duplicitous Donnie, the Graft-Man, on ONE SMALL PROPOSAL he's made.

You may recall that this was the flight to the memorial service for the slain Dallas police officers.

Also on the plane, as noted in the picture were two TX Congressmen, Marc Veasey and Eddie Bernice Johnson, yes both Dems.  But I believe the invitation to ride on Air Force One was extended to anyone from the TX delegation attending the memorial who were in DC at the time.

If Ted Cruz had refused to fly on Air Force One, he would have had to have taken either a commercial flight or a private chartered flight in which case, how many would have accused Cruz of being petty, of grandstanding and wasting tax payer money for not accepting the invitation to ride on AF1?


Quote
Texas' other senator, Cruz's fellow Republican John Cornyn, also is scheduled to attend Tuesday's memorial service, but made separate travel arrangements. He confirmed Obama offered use of the official plane to him as well, but his itinerary requires him to be in Dallas one hour before the arrival of Air Force One.


"We thanked them very much and said give me a rain check," Cornyn, the majority whip, told Politico. "This is something he’s good at. We’re glad to have him, we appreciate the gesture on his part."

It's both sad and disturbing when that happens.


It's like Trump sucks both the soul and the brains out of really good individuals and turns them into pod people......

I especially am fascinated by the people who claim they were for Cruz and then start regurgitating Trump-nonsense-slander about him.

And they don't seem to realize how bonkers it makes them look......

I know full well the the sides surrounding this story.....as said......make of it what you wish...or what story you want to believe....I'd want to ask what they talked about on that cozy ride. Can't imagine Obama giving a ride on AFO just as a nice gesture..nice is not what comes to mind when I think of Obama.

 But make no mistake Cruz's speech and refusal to endorse Trump at the RNC by choosing to put his personal business with Trump ahead of what is best for the country, 3 days later, did Cruz far more damage than you and others want to admit...Cruz was booed by delegates and ostracized thereafter...rightfully so...and this visual of Cruz wasn't helpful to his cause......in addition apparently wikileaks found Cruz's email to Hillary and the DNC asking for funds to disrupt the RNC.....that I have not yet looked into but these would "chill" any Presidential Candidate running in the general.

Furthermore who do you think will be running against Trump in 4 yrs?  Cruz is not by any means out of the picture, Trump knows it.
