Only the President can shut down the Government. Cruz tried to lead Republicans in doing what they promised their constituents they would do if elected. NOT FUND OBAMACARE!

How many BILLIONS has Obamacare cost the taxpayers in failed websites and fraudulent coverage and how much has Obamacare cost those taxpayers who were happy with their insurance and lost it and their doctors? How many billions in increased costs have the American taxpayers paid as a result of Obamacare??

How much of those BILLIONS in $$$ were from Obama spending money to guard against American's visiting the Washington War Memorial, or visiting Mt. Vernon or even STOPPING on the highway to SEE Mt. Rushmore.

Don't blame Cruz for the failures and overspending of the Obama Administration!

They are losing their minds and pulling out ALL the stops against Trump. They will stop at literally NOTHING.

Of course, like many things, their efforts say far, far more about THEM than they say about Trump.
I honestly didn't think it was possible for me to loathe them any more. But this election has taught me that I can indeed loathe and despise them to an ever deepening degree.
I can't believe anyone is surprised by the media attacking Trump. He is running as a Republican after all. The only thing surprising is that they aren't waiting until AFTER he is nominated. THAT is when it will get particularly ugly.

You're damn right we are!

Personally I'm amused as hell by trump. Never thought he was serious from day one. I don't know if he's just trolling and having fun... or if this is deliberate sabotage. Either way my hat's off to him and I dearly hope he gets the GOP nomination. It'll be amusing as he'll and virtually guarantee a GOP loss. Possibly even destroy the party for the next few election cycles.

What I'd REALLY like to see is Sanders vs. Trump. That would be funny as he'll and result in President Sanders

What is really funny is that according to the polls it is only helping Trump. I have seriously wondered if Romney pulled this stunt to make sure he get elected?

See this is why we need trump. Who passed obamacare? Republicans AND democrats. I don't care what you have against the government, you NEVER shut it down. The senate/house could have passed a temporary funding measure but they were too self absorbed to even make that happen. Cruz put 2 million civilians and 1.4 million military personals jobs on the line for his own gain. i don't want a immature school child. I'm a republican and I find Cruz's behavior embarrassing, tasteless, and immature during that time.

Well Rush couldn't get Romney elected and neither will he be able to stop Trump!
We the people decide who will win and it may be Trump or someone else but if they keep hating we may end up with Hillary.

Fox News didn't start their attack with Hillary and Bernie like the do with Trump which shows their true colors!

Maybe CNN and Fox news are switching gears..
I'm not so sure

and let's look at it from the other side if you want to be fair: the majority of Trump supporters, at least here on cd are so in awe of him they can't even be subjective. They will get defensive about him regardless of facts and they will stop at nothing short of using elementary playground names when referring to his opponents. Not to mention they believe everything they read that is slanted against an opponent. So you see, it works both ways.

I will say, not all the media is anti, so if you think they are you not paying attention. I will agree, we have never seen anything like this campaign and I am guessing I have been around as long or longer than you. This should tell you something; where there is smoke, there usually is fire.

They may as well select the President right now and save us all the effin grief.
CNN is reporting groups and just how many is groups? I think you may want to keep an open mind and not believe everything anyone has to say.
