I知 disturbed.. Cruz might win this thing.

I know it’s Christer territory and Cruz plays to them.. But still this guy is really a slick piece of scum
and it’s frightening.. Trump is Trump.. An asshole, and we know he will say anything to anyone at any time..But Compared to Rafael Cruz’s son? Trump is like an Angel.. Seriously..Cruz is a dangerous man..

Of course, Cruz is a notorious asshole, even with his own party, and that might be his own undoing.

I'm not sweating facing off against Cruz at this point. I'd rather that than have to deal with more obnoxious Trump antics.

this dangerous creep will gain a lot of support from Trump’s army if he continues to gain support..Trump’s supporters are basically White racists/gunners who will at the drop of a dime switch to Cruz if they feel he has a better chance of destroying anything progressive in our country.. Why, because Trump’s supporters are just dumb gunners..

Imo, and that of others of more stature, he is NOT eligible to serve as President. This will HAVE to go to the Supreme Court, so more excitement for all of us, especially we attorneys.

beat!

At least Trump was for gay rights and is soft on reproductive rights.

Cruz, Rubio are HARD RIGHT on these issues.

If there has to be a Republican president, I'd much rather it be Trump. I still think he's more socially liberal.

And should he win the nomination, we'll see a hard move to the Left.

were sitting Senators or held any political strength . Yea he’s disliked by the Party.. But watch how they flock to him now that he has won..

Ah, Cruz was called the winner.. Watch how he gathers support from the Republican traditionalists.

The Fucking media, MSNBC has begun the courting of this insane man.. Not mentioning any of the obvious flaws of his candidacy.. Which you mentioned.. Its Scary.

If he can win the Repub nomination, our nominee will win 40+ states in November and probably control both houses of Congress. The Tea Party, the evangelicals and the hard cord conservatives will see their dream candidate go down in flames and it will be spectacular.

He pretty clearly supports torture: in a recent ad, as he goes on and on about how he'll destroy ISIS and if any are capred on the battlefield he'll send them to Guantanamo and '..we'll find out EVERYTHING THEY KNOW..'
It may turn out to be Rubio v Sanity
