Cruz appears to have a personality problem with the lords and masters...we know Trump doe, but that's different, he has an issue with everyone, yet they still like him...

    In the last 21 polls Trump looses to Hilarry 19 times. In those same polls Cruz wins Hillary 13 times of the 21 polls.

    The data would say that its rather close between Cruz and Hillary but Trump looses big between the too.

    When Bob Dole said "We can live with Trump for a few months before we can live with Cruz for 4 years." it made it very clear that he did not think Trump could win, but he would rather thrpw the election to the democrats than get Cruz as president.

    These are the facts of what the polls show and what Dole reflected in his comments. Nothing more and nothing less.

    Also wrong, look up the facts. Cruz tweeted a news story from CNN. Trump said that Cruz said Ben Carson had bowed out, that would be a true statement. It also shows that Trump lied.

    But like Freedom said, do not hijack this thread do your own.

    Cruz could use the words to a song of the 40s, "Got along with out ya before I met ya, gonna get along without ya now."

    It sounds like "apologizing" means that Cruz needs to bow to the establishment and promise to support it in the future. I dont see that happening

    You didn't answer my complaint. You continued doing exactly the thing I complained about.
    Start your own thread on that topic if you want to discuss it.

    Again, you want to highjack the discussion to your topic. Stop posting things that have nothing to do with the thread.

    Cruz is disliked by the "establishment" of both the GOP and the Democrats because he believes in the Constitution. He fights for the American people by defending it. If the establishment hates him, I love him. If you want your country back, stand with Cruz.

    Cruz got that from the media. He did apologize. Cruz is one of the most honest people in the Senate. He says what he believes; that is the Constitution. Trump is the real liar!

    Well, McConnell said it best.. if someone murdered him in the middle of the Senate with all members present, and the trial was held in the Senate, you couldn't get a conviction.

    This is the worst election I have seen. No way Hillary would ever get my vote, but I feel the same about Bush, who is on board with so much she favors. I know the CRF wants Bush, but enough to discount all our votes and use the convention to nullify all our votes? I would not doubt it. Romney is little better and not electable against Hillary. Kasich, our Governor, is for all the wrong things, really liberal and a phony. He takes Soros funding, rationalizes Common Core, and is liberal on borders - for a start! Cruz was an option, but the establishment want Trump and Cruz out. They all lie, that is what they do. The better they lie, the more the Republican one world establishment approves of them.

    Nothing was said about lying.
    Don't highjack the thread, just post your own thread if you have evidence of Cruz lying. Might be an interesting topic.

    GOP establishment AKA RINOs, AKA right wing of the left?

    Want our help with votes? Better apologize. Since you can't lead, either follow or get out of the way.

    I see no way Cruz can win a general election. Even droves of solid Republicans can't stand him, even if they agree with most/all of his positions - how on earth can he win Dem or Indep voters being as utterly unlikeable as he is ?!!
    None of the remaining Rep candidates are my first choice, but they're all better than any current or potential Dem nominee ( in the event HRD is indicted ) . In the social media / Kardashianian world we all now live in, Trump is working the media, politics, etc like a Svengali. I'm happy to see the GOP establishment metaphorically 'blown up' and am gleefully watching them all running around with their hair on fire b/c they see their corrupt crony capitalism train ( hopefully ) coming to an end since DT won't take any of their donations and therefore ( hopefully ) he won't be beholden to any of them. But I do keep in mind the old saying " be careful what you wish for."

    It's your choice to abstain. If enough people did that, Hillary (i mean her contributors from wall,street) will be president and we go down the Obama road for another 8 years. Like it or not, Cruz can't beat hillary

    As I see the situation, the Republican Establishment, those in power, don’t give a damn about what the voters, underestimated Trump and thought the election would be business as usual with one of their own elected.

    Cruz is one of their own, pure establishment through and through. So is his wife. Cruz is a lying, cheating, underhanded, religious nut case who uses his bible to justify all his heinous behavior. Government and politics should be religion-free zones, be Cruz, like Bush, takes orders from his imaginary friend in the sky.

    Certainly it is no secret the few whistle blowers who have exposed the corruption have been excommunicated, denigrated, or suffered terrible accidents. Even people outside the System (like Wikileak’s Assange) who risk all to expose the documents of our rulers are treated as criminals or traitors and not the heros they are.

    Donald Trump is now broadcasting these truths. In doing so he is encouraging free speech, a freedom which has been on a losing streak for decades. He has been an insider until now and now he exposes how the top politicians lust for power is funded by their corporate contributors in return for political favors, both above and below the table.

    Few of us favor corruption and this issue has aroused excitement among Americans across the whole political and religious spectrum, from the communist-socialists, the welfare-statists, Christians, Atheists, Constitutional libertarians and anarchists.

    This is the heart of the Trump Political Movement.

    I disagree with Trump about many major issues, but we I hope he can expose corruption from the inside and help bring it to an end. Trump is a negotiator, and many of the issues he touts are shown to achieve the exact opposite of what he wants, he will change. At worst, it will be a new gang and it will take time for them to become entrenched.

    GOP establishment has the best choice to beat Hillary already - Trump. He has the electorate behind him even though the old line GOP hates him.

    He does lie, and has gotten caught in flagrant ones. He has a wicked slime he puts on when he says something (his handlers have told him to say) and people applaud. Its just phony. Makes me think we are looking at a robot pre-programmed to say things to get approval.

    He should tell them that they ought to apologize for selling out their voters.

    They haven't repealed Obamacare despite specific promises to do so.
    They haven't balanced the Budget despite specific promises to do so. (Just look at the one they just published today - more of the same)
    They haven't defunded Obama's selective enforcement on immigration.
    And many more.

    Senator Cruz: tell the Establishment Republicans that they have bigger problems than him: the will of the American voter.
