If he really practiced his understanding of the Constitution he would not be claiming that he is eligible to run for president.

This is a good article with a lot of "opinions" by well-known individuals: https://newrepublic.com/article/1288...body-hates-ted You know there is no way on earth Cruz is going anywhere but back to TX. TX has my sympathy. Can we start a petition to send him back to Canada?

People do not like Cruz. But they hate and/or are scared of Trump more. Simple.

Ah, you know what they say about love, right? "Love is blind." Thank you for clarifying why you support Cruz, because I think more than myself here have been completely stumped as to how anyone could ever support a candidate that lies and cheats while holding the Bible.

The way he speaks is the closest thing I've heard to a robot. His speech is very mechanical - maybe he's some kind of clone or android?

For me, Ryan is right up there with Walnuts McCain, fruity-tooty Lindsey and Bishop Romney as the worst possible selections out there.

If the candidate with the most delegates does not get to become the nominee - I'll never vote for another Republican in my lifetime.

No doubt...

Ryan is nothing more than just another cookie-cutter neocon. Like Rubio, but maybe a shade less of a dullard. Which makes him the perfect pick for the GOP establishment.

Anything else you are interested in knowing?
Yes I'd like to know why he totally flip-flopped on this issue as well as why he advocated DOUBLING visas for foreign, skilled workers. It's awfully hard to lie when someone presents you with video footage of yourself supporting the very thing you claim to be against.

I answered your question by presenting several of the TWELVE bills sponsored by Cruz. My response defeated your false intentions of implying that Cruz has done nothing regarding immigration during his senate career.

Your response, change the argument and hope that it won't be seen as your failure to prove a false innuendo.

Facts are hard.
