In case you had not noticed, the only real difference between most Democrats and Republicans is the Candy coating over the same inert ingredients.

Not with Cruz...Hes a statesman, not a Republican. He stands up for the Constitution and the people. He doesn't side with liberals and vote for Obama's $2 billion spending bill and to give $150 billion to terrorists like Iran the way most Republicans in congress did.

Bush alone for 09/11/2001; and 3) claiming that Planned Parenthood "does wonderful things."


That is not populism, or nationalism. It is simply the rantings of your average far left wing Democrat. French summarizes:

I've been arguing for a long time that Trump is nothing but a Democrat. I'm right.
I agree that Trump is left of center, but the fact that he is winning the hearts of GOP voters, tells me that the other candidates are trying to sell their brand of the party and not listening to their constituency.

NOBODY in Congress gave $150 billion to terrorists but that's just a silly old fact.

Will give you an example: Tax simplification. I've been hearing that one for 40 years. Both sides promise it, yet it never comes to pass. Logically, who could possibly be against simplifying the tax code? I'm not talking about "tax reform" that would impact tax revenue. I'm merely talking about making it easier to file a tax return.

I'll tell you who has been winning that war on regular folks...lawyers and accountants, who have the most to lose. They make a buck on overly complicated tax laws (and regulations). Now take a look at the big donor groups, by occupation. Lawyers. Then ask yourself, what are most members of Congress?

Here's another one: legalizing illegal aliens. The Democrats want it to increase the dependent downtrodden demographic that puts them in office. The Republicans want it for cheap labor. That's why you have a Chuck Schumer and a Marco Rubio pushing for the same thing.

They're all the same. Really.

EXACTLY.... I've been saying that since 2010 and I saw how Obama 'snowed' us all!

A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary.....
Poll after poll shows he can't beat her in the general election.

This. But of course Trump fans will say it's still too early to trust polls. Even when they were bragging about SC polls 5 months ago. They only believe polls that show Trump winning.

He's not winning anything. He's got a whopping FOUR delegate lead, big deal. We are just getting started
