Cruz was hardly an idiot. He will benefit from the wreckage of this campaign the same way that Reagan did after the Nixon-caused defeat of Ford in 1976.

Good God! Kasich and Cruz. A couple of career morons sucking the government paycheck system.


What's it gonna take for the Trump bashers to realize they are exactly why we are voting for Trump. We're sick of career politicians.


Goodness. It must hurt to not be able to have figured that out by now.

Trump doesn't believe in censorship. Of course he knew what Cruz was going to say. Cruz, in his failed efforts to undermine Trump, made an ass of himself. He's yesterday's news.

So, you have been out of the country for the last eight years? Obama made the right literally implode. You are observing the last dying embers of the Republican Party.

That was the prediction after the 1974 and 1976 elections. As it was with the Democratic Party after 1980, 1984 and 1988. In both cases to quote Mark Twain the reports of the death were "greatly exaggerated."

Death or not, your candidate is tanking. No one, but ardent supporters, share his views. Some have claimed the left came unhinged because of his "success" in the polls. He's not succeeding, so that isn't true. The left abhors his principals, message, and tactics. The right has spent eight years in Obama melt down. They appealed to the worse instincts of those in the party, feed that anger and fear with coded language, supported the uneducated with misspelled signs and keep government out of my Medicare movement in the tea party, and essentially opposed anything that would allow us to progress. Now, those same people are astounded that Trump has so much support. They can't understand how the base became so angry and confused. For any conservative posting here not supporting Trump, this is the reason.

To claim you don't have a problem is disingenuous. You are losing in Georgia--let that sink in for a minute. That's not an exaggeration. You will not be competitive on the national level until the party is able to reconcile the uneducated racists with true conservatives. To quote Lincoln, "A house divided cannot stand".

Wrong, I am voting for Shrillary, reluctantly but still voting for her. I could not fathom voting for someone who appeals to the very worst that can be found in America's garbage cans and waste dumps.

[quote=dsb62574;45124372]No one, but ardent supporters, share his views.[/qutoe]I don't know what Trump's views are. I don't think he even knows what Trump's views are.

Obama ha abused separation of powers. Trump would make Obama look like a saint.

I don't understand this part of the post. Please rewrite.
