Trump

[JBryan314]

People like you describe are a dime a dozen, even though few of them are actively running for office. Problem is, none of them can get elected, and that includes Cruz.

No matter how conservative most of us are, we really can't hope to have a "true" conservative elected. Nobody who, for example, promises to make abortion against the law or who promises to immediately stop government assistance, can get elected. That may be a real disappointment to millions of conservatives, but them's the facts.

What the country needs is a real leader and someone who's not afraid to stand up to either foreign leaders or the bullies in our own congress. Cruz may fit that bill, but he is unable to ignite the kind of excitement the independents and border-line Democrats need in order to convince them to vote Republican this time. Regan could do that, but not Cruz who would probably make a good president, but he's not exciting enough for the American public and he's created too many enemies in the political arena. Plus his record puts him to the right of Berry Goldwater, another conservative who was not electable. We don't need a RINO like McCain, but you have to have someone who isn't perceived by the non-Republicans of this country as a maniac.

People admire Trump but Cruz is just plain creepy. He's certainly not the guy you would let baby-sit. Like it or not, that's important to a LOT of people. Cruz's appeal is simply too narrow.

Constitutional conservationism won't save this country, but leadership will even Trumps position or his past positions aren't perfect.

First of all, those are not the facts. Stopping government assistance is not a Conservative position. And the US has elected true Conservatives before and we flourished. Cruz is not perceived as a maniac.

Cruz is "creepy"? What the hell does that even mean? He's "creepy"? A Christian family man who hasn't gone through three wives is "creepy"?

People admire Trump? People also HATE him.

Cruz is winning in Iowa. The second place contender overall and leader in Iowa does t have appeal?

Wrong. Cruz can win. If the R's and the R voters will dislodge their heads from their asses then maybe he'd get the nomination. If he's nominated, he will beat Hillary. I guarantee it. But we have to forget about the so called "moderates" and "crossover" people. Screw them! There is no such thing! We need CONSERVATIVES to get up and go vote! CONSERVATIVES ARE THE MAJORITY. We can WIN!

Do you feel that Cruze will be out to win at all costs ?? Do you feel that he will have NO mercy on Hillary ?? Do you feel that he will completely trash her during the debates ?? How politically correct do you feel that he will try,and has in the past tried to be ?? I find myself really fed up with the sweet talking sweetie politicians.

I feel that what all this comes down to is how tough any candidate will be on Hillary. She has enough skeletons in her and Bills closet. The Repub candidate just has to open the door and use the info that has been in place for the last 30 years. My Repub candidate has got to be extremely committed to the win. There is no fair fight. I want my guy to win at all costs. Simple as that. --- SAWMAN

I look to Trump as someone who has a proven record of getting things done. The man builds, buys, and sells skyscrapers and whole city blocks. He is a manager extrordinaire. As a business man, he certainly sees the hurdles placed in the way of businesses. With Christie, Bush, Santorum, or Fiorina not much changes. Our next president will have some cutting to the budget to balance and be able to pare down that huge deficit. That 20 trill is going to have to be paid eventually. At this point, my mistrust is with a system that allows for so much corruption of the vote. If whole city blocks voted 100% Obama, then Hillary may somehow sail into the WH. And that... may be the plan.

 

[MAXman]

And here I thought congress set the budget.

*in all fairness, they haven't for a while*

Cruz looks just like "Grandpa" (Al Lewis) of the Munsters. Can't get any creepier than that. LMAO

But I'm a Trump man. :yo:

I support Trump as well, but Ted Cruz is just an average looking polititian to me. He doesn't look any more or less creepy to me than Lindsey Graham or Chuck Schumer. But seriously, I don't give a damn what any of them look like as long as they represent the values of what made this nation great. When Trump is passionate, he's a bit creepy, but physical appearance doesn't interest me. If a candidate is capable, loyal, and does what's in the best interest of the nation, he's my guy. That said, Cruz is a Constitutionalist. I'd rather have him than Trump. The reason I'm going with Trump is that I don't think Cruz has the nads to spill the beans on Hillary. The reason Romney lost to Obama is that he was "playing nice".... Bullshit! I don't want someone who'll play nice when trying to win.

Cruz WILL destroy Hillary in the debates. He would destroy any of the candidates from either party in a head to head debate. Weak is not a word is use to describe Cruz. Having a jerk like Trump might be nice sometimes but it's really not necessary. Cruz is the only candidate so far that Trump hasn't knocked off. He's smarter than Trump and has better ideas. I believe even Trump is afraid to go after him. Trump's attacks on Cruz are weak.

If "he looks creepy" is the best that Cruz's detractors have against him, then he's going to be our next President.

Thank God.

Cruz has relentlessly attacked Hillary, directly and in person, over many things, including her mismanagement of classified materials and her mismanagement of the Benghazi Consulate attack.

 

[JBryan314]

I'm seriously confused as to why people seem to know so little about Cruz, what he's done and what he believes. People who claim to be "conservative" refuse to get behind the most obviously Constitutionally Conservative candidate we've had since Reagan. I don't think many "conservatives" even know what true Constitutional Conservatism is.

I also don't understand how people can support Trump so strongly based on little more than his mannerisms. It shocks me a little that people who attack 0bama's narcissism can jump up Trump's ass so easily. The man is a buffoon. Claims that he'll force Mexico to pay for a wall and never explains what the hell that means. Says he will ban Muslims from entering the US without even having any understanding of how impossible that is, unless you simply ban all immigration (not a bad idea, but no one is proposing that).

It pains me to see people who claim to be "conservative" choose to support a guy who is a true, mixed-bag moderate instead of a real Conservative.

I've crapped in Trumps mess kit on severat threads here so I'll just say I'm a CRUZER.

Excellent post, agree with it all.

I don't see how anyone who calls themselves "Conservative" cannot be for Cruz. Trump is great for entertainment value and hearing someone finally say the things we have been thinking, but a Conservative? I don't think so. I saw Trump in Mobile and will go again on Wednesday to the Bay Center just because it's fun hearing what he has to say and as mentioned great entertainment value. But when primary day rolls around it will be Cruz who gets my vote.
Cruz is the ONLY Conservative currently running for President.

I think there are 2 people in this race who can make a difference in this country. They are Cruz and Trump. Cruz will do his best to bring us back to TRUE constitutional conservatism, you know the very principles that made us go from an upstart nation with attitude to the greatest nation the world has ever seen in less than 200 years. Trump will do his best for whatever he feels at the moment will "make America great again". Good sentiment but without the constitution principles behind it will still leave us floundering and probably not much better off than we are now. Anyone else in the race will just give us more of the same. Basically Obama without the ears, just slowed down a little.

All that being said if Trump gets the nomination I will vote for him over whatever socialist bastard the dumocrats decide to run.

Excellent posts. I was recently on the Trump wagon myself until I heard about this very same thing on Rush Limbaugh radio, so I checked out the website the lady caller was talking about and it is a great resource for conservatives to know exactly where the candidates stand on everything. Also offers up a side by side comparison. I highly recommend it : https://www.conservativereview.com/ . Cruzin' with my
.02 worth here also.

Anyone who wants to keep abreast of true Conservative issues and positions should trying listening to Mark Levin's radio show. He hasn't endorsed anyone yet, but I feel he will eventually support Cruz.

I've heard him criticize and defend Trump and Cruz both. He doesn't seem to be in anyone's pocket at all.

 

[SAWMAN]

I really feel that some are putting the cart before the horse. Talking about who will make the best president. Who will fix this and than. Who sleeps with the Constitution under their pillow and who doesn't. Who will build a wall and how. BTW .... what has Cruze openly stated that he will do to prevent the FLOOD of ILLEGAL alians ??

There surely could be someone that would make a better president than Trump. However,the first step is gettin' him elected. And even before that,putting up someone that WILL tromp on Hillary during the debates. Remember the debates that didn't go so well for the Repubs. McCain got his ass handed to him. Remember his running mate. Ouch !! Then their was Rommney. Before that the Texan that quit. WTF is wrong with these Repubs ??

FIRST STEP ---> get a Repub into office. That person has gotta be able to kick Hillary's ass on national TV. The freakin American people are so damned stoopid that they will vote for who wins the debate anyway. I say --> time for a Repub to finally win. That person will be Trump IMO. --- SAWMAN

90% of the republicans have sold us out. They've given 0bama everything he wanted in this last budget bill. They keep saying "next year". Anyone who believes that garbage is as stupid as the republicans think we are.

On immigration Cruz has:

Introduced legislation to block 0bama's expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program.

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s2631

Cruz telling the GOP to act, just like they promised, on tightening up on immigration. The republicans have, of course, sold us out. Cruz has called them on it.

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015...ip-tell-the-truth-do-what-you-said-you-would/

Here is where Cruz and Mike Lee attempted to block 0bama's amnesty. Unfortunately, 20 Republicans sold them and us out, and Cruz and Lee failed to block it.

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/12/conservatives-move-backfires-113556

In the Republican debate, Cruz makes a stronger case than the rest of the field against illegal immigration, open borders and amnesty.

http://time.com/4107636/transcript-read-the-full-text-of-the-fourth-republican-debate-in-milwaukee/


Cruz also fought hard against the "Gang of Eight" amnesty garbage. People seem to think Cruz is soft on immigration. It's really the ONLY issue they can find to degrade him on, and it's BS. So after that people resort to "he looks creepy".

he supports a convention of the states....but there is danger in that too....

 

[JBryan314]

There is no danger in it. The vast majority of state legislatures lean conservative, and it's nearly impossible for ANY initiative to actually get passed by a Convention of States, aside from initiatives that will further restrain the power of the federal leviathan. There is little to no danger of a CoS causing harm. However, I've searched and can not find where Cruz has supported a CoS. I wish he would, but I haven't seen it yet. I firmly believe a CoS is one of our last chances to right the ship before it goes to bloodshed.
