No wonder your country is in the fix it's in with the only two viable candidates being of the worst common denominators possible.

You are about to reap what you've sown in ways you cannot even imagine. It would be merely entertaining to watch if it were not going to bring us all closer to the brink of complete and utter disaster.

It isn't my fault Trump is in the running. He wasn't my pick. But he's in it now, and it's either him or Hillary. That's the sad truth. Benghazi Hillary is for open borders, unlimited illegal immigration, a castration of our 2nd amendment and a load of other liberal issues I don't support. Trump is the complete opposite, so Trump gets my vote. Eight years of forced liberalism and anti-cop blather is quite enough.

There is no perfect candidate, but Trump trumps Benghazi Hillary by a mile.

I understand your frustration, but my post was intended to address the idiots who booed Cruz when he failed to endorse Trump. Whatever happened to ethical imperatives holding priority over partisan politics?

It is a sad day indeed when the only choices you've been given are both obvious bottom feeders of the first order.

The republican convention was for Trump, not Cruz. If Sour Grapes Cruz couldn't support Trump he should have respectfully bowed out. Instead Cruz chose to make a fool of himself by not recognizing Trump in his speech. He got booed, not by idiots, but by Trump supporters who went to hear about Trump. If anyone's an idiot, it's Cruz.

The only thing Ted Cruz proved, is that he has a backbone. Not sacrificing his principles, for political gains.
Not many like him.

Me too.

There's nothing more positive than voting down Benghazi Hillary.

I rarely agree with you, but I do here. Cruz is about the only Republican who had the guts to refuse to help coronate King Donald. Kudos to him for showing some courage--something that is sorely lacking in this current iteration of the GOP.

I hope a good number of Republicans follow his lead once they step into the voting booth and vote their conscience.

Just because we heard him cooing last night and obeying his teleprompter does not mean he has changed. He is not willing or able to work within the Constitution were he elected or the law during his campaign.
For Heaven's sake, you aren't talking about the "punch them in the nose, I'll pay your legal bills" JOKE, are you? If there is another "example" of advocated "violence", please provide a link including the rally it was spoken from. What the media reports and what actually happened are often very different.

Every rally had instructions to the audience on how to handle the agitators that showed up to disrupt and ruin the experience for everyone. It was do not touch them, just hold up your Trump signs and security will remove them. Doesn't sound like inciting violence, does it?

Cruz was asked to speak by Trump. Cruz explicitly did not promise an endorsement. Cruz's speech was circulated to Trump, who approved it. The speech contained plenty of attacks on the Democrats. Did Trump think an endorsement could be sincere if it was given in the face of attacks on Trump's wife and accusations that Cruz's father committed the Kennedy assassination?

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.
