The only ones I know that support Cruz are hung up on the "religious" thing. They want to see the gays used as scapegoats for the world's problems, Christian prayer in the public schools and women put back in their place, a few steps behind the men. Yeah, they are unique group indeed.

I can see no reason that anyone would like Cruz. I cannot believe that anyone even supports him as a candidate. He has done nothing but lie and cheat through his own campaign. He throws tantrums because other candidates won't drop out so he can win.

It is not "like Cruz" that gets him votes, it is the delusion that Cruz has painted for some that he will turn our government into a Christian theocracy: Ted Cruz's campaign is fueled by a dominionist vision for America (COMMENTARY) - Religion News Service

An article on Ted Cruz's inability to be liked: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...y-to-be-liked/ He is a typical sociopath.

Are you feeling strong all of a sudden to jump on anyone who dare criticize your messiah? Remember Ted is still second, neither Trump nor Cruz can win for the GOP if they are divided.


Ted just like Donald is a sleazebag. But the voting violation that Ted did coupled with how he took Carson's vote is even more despicable that anything seen so far. Ted is also a religious nuttcase.


Play fair. As it is, the GOP is in jeopardy with both of these candidates unless they unite.

Nope I was an Independent for many years and registered with the GOP back in 2000. I did vote for Clinton in 1996 as I didn't like Bob Dole as a candidate. Other than that, all GOP ...

I have never seen a party more adamant about replacing their own front-runner as the GOP is now. Too bad for them if Trump is way ahead in delegates and doesn't get the nom.

People who mock children like this are despicable!
For the record, I was not mocking Cruz's daughter. I have no idea if she's autistic or if she was tired and having a bad day. Kids are notorious for acting up at the least opportune time.

It's just a funny video in the context of whether people like Cruz or not. That's all.

After that, I think they go with "neither of the above" if they are going to go with the uproar of not going with the person with the most delegates.
Cruz is an egomaniac, so he doesn't see the freight train coming.

that might be the only satisfaction I get out of an ugly brokered convention, where the same losers who trotted out Romney and McCain try and trot out another non-winner. Each election republican numbers go down.

If it isn't Trump, I predict the end of the republican party as we know it, and those jackasses (like Priebus) will be all alone with their "ideas" and no party.

Why would they be any stronger united? Bad plus worse does not equal better.

I voted republican and support Trump, so you can't paint with that broad of a brush stroke.

Trump crosses party lines because he has a lot of excellent ideas, and he wants to protect the country, the citizens, and jobs/industry.


An unusual approach not shared by today's globalist money grubbing politicians, including Rafael Eduardo Cruz.

Ben Carson is a good judge of character.. he said about Cruz.. he is dirty and plays dirty tricks, after he stole Ben Carson's votes..

Cruz is a liar and wants to be president so badly he will make deals with the devil to get there.. he will sell his own soul to get there and he will say anything to get there..
Some people are used by God, that is what should be...with Ted Cruz it is opposite. He uses God to get what he wants.
