Interesting that you reference your leader in the same manner some of his detractors reference your adoration.  I've never used that term, but okay - I'll take you at your word there.

Notwithstanding the fact I can actually care less whether or not Cruz wins or loses, whether Trump saves his political ass or not. 

Not my circus.  Not my clowns.

But thanks for pinging me to your lame attempt at an insult.  It just continues to serve my diminishing opinion of you people, putting you square in the Marxist-Left category of people I want nothing to do with.

You've used the 'orange' descriptive/derivative ad nuasuem.  And you claim we Trump supporters worship him as God...so?....WTH?

Are you that obtuse?  That anal?

I don't mind you saying it because I'm proud of the fact. I'm a Trump supporter, not because I think the man is wonderful and classy and wicked smart, but because he's a bull with his head down, his horns out and is a relentless motherfluffer. Which is the only way to be when fighting deep state corruption and a rising Socialism...he's the man for the hour, but far from the pedestal topper so many NT's claim we Trump voters have set him up as being. Quite frankly, he has Mark Twain's perfect combination of confidence and ignorance...the ingredients, as Twain cleverly asserts...to ensure success.

Perhaps in the future we can return to a more cerebral William F Buckley sort of conservative leadership, but for today's battle we need a Patton or an Anthony Mcauliffe who will charge, charge and keep charging until the field is theirs. When the Dems call for Trump to resign before he's impeached, I know his answer will be "Nuts!". 

Any other GOP President, would likely have wilted before the onslaught of the deep state by now...but Trump never will, and that is why he had my vote, and will continue to have my support, and in the end it is why he will win.

I don't trust Ted Cruz. He will stab president in the back,,,again. 

Again?  When did he ever stab President Trump in the back?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Donny should show up at the rally, tell everyone to vote their conscience, drop the mic and walk out.

Trumpansies are as foolish as NeverTrumpers.

I will say I have changed only one mind.... and it was a Trumpansie. What I said was...."You/Trump won, continuing to alienate those who are essentially aligned with you, is foolish. It defeats your purpose, let the numb-nut never-Trumpers.. fewer every day, rail and show that ..compared to them.... obama seems a reasonable dude.".

Yes. Alienating those essentially aligned with you IS foolish.

Wise words from you...perhaps you should consider adhering to them.

Although I do have to ask ...'Since When" is such a standard?  Yes you are correct... it should not be directed at an individual... but such goes on here.

P.S....Love your ending gif. Humor keeps me comming back here....sad for you it would seem.

It's always been the standard.  Looks like standards slipped for a while today.

This thread is insane...yet it reflects the internal failure of the GOP in this era.

First, Cruz is not a RINO...not even close. And I'm as solid of a Trump guy as you'll find anywhere. Second, Trump was very unfair to Cruz in the primary...borderline unethical...and Cruz made an unethical turn or two himself. But politics is a brutal affair and sad to say we need that kind of brute mentality right now in the White House...because the alternative is graceful defeat.

This whole discussion reflects the NT vs Pro-Trump struggle inside the GOP and across conservatism generally.  Like Cruz and Trump, we may not like each other, but we sure as hell have to be smart enough to understand that we need each other if we're going to fight back this Socialist tide that's fast approaching. Trump and Cruz set a great example...they toss aside the personal animus and focus on the bigger fight. God willing we should all have the wisdom to hold our noses and follow their lead.

Kudos, Mesa.  I apologize on my comment. Heck.. I actually do like you BTW, we were opponents in the primary.. and it IS a blood sport. You are intelligent and reasoned, that is a good thing.

Link and quote of mine of the orange descriptive please, so if you find one I can publicly apologize to you for using it.  Doing so denigrates the word orange.

And you claim we Trump supporters worship him as God...so?....WTH?

I don't know what else to call all the fawning devotion and miraculous traits you and his fawning fanbase have attributed to the man for being able to perform by the breath of his mouth... and thumbs.

It's quite a massive step beyond 'respect' in any honest person's observation.

Likewise. No apology needed, we're all passionate about our views and we're right to be. Its healthy that we disagree and debate amongst ourselves, but there's a force out there that wants to end debate, end freedom, and end all that makes our country the greatest place on the planet. I just want to focus on that real enemy...the Left.

Definitely agree with you on this. It's going to be a nail biter, especially if any of the voting districts have been redrawn and the courts haven't ruled yet.  I'm expecting this race not only to be close, but election results will be disputed and a recount required.

IMHO if Cruz was confident (and normally he seems to be) in his win, he definitely wouldn't have recruited Trump for help.  Meanwhile Beto is the liberal/DEM poster boy hoping not only for a win but a challenger in 2020.

Amen @Mesaclone   With what is facing us if the left every gets power, it's hard to understand why the NT's here cling so hard to their bitterness.

A sharply divided Supreme Court on Monday kept in place most of a controversial Texas redistricting plan enacted by the GOP-led legislature, despite lawsuits from civil rights groups claiming it was discriminatory.

The Supreme Court did find one state district, HD90(Tarrant County), was an "impermissible racial gerrymander."

The case involved claims of racial gerrymandering -- that election maps had the effect of harming the voting rights of black and Hispanic voters.

The 5-4 decision kept in place all but one challenged district, striking down the conclusions of a special three-judge federal panel that had ruled against the state.

That judicial panel, though, initially had approved the voting maps on an interim basis, boundaries that were subsequently enacted by the state legislature. That, said Justice Samuel Alito for the conservative majority, showed a presumption of good faith.
