If You Support Cruz You Shouldn't Be An Idiot To Rubio Fans
Me? Oh hell no, I'm rubbing it.
I take no joy in the sadness of your average Rubio supporter. But when Jennifer Rubin(!) tells Marco it's over and it's time to make your obedience to our new Dark Lord and Master Ted Cruz? Yes, yes I will have another glass of those sweet. sweet tears of despair.We say this with no joy, having credited Rubio with courage on immigration reform and creativity in advancing a credible domestic agenda. He is by far the most electable of the remaining candidates, but to get to the general election one must win the primary. Blame the times in which we live. Blame the media obsession with Trump. Blame the voters who avert their eyes from ominous signs that Trump is a danger to the republic. Still, the choice for Rubio remains what to do now. The answer to many, many Republicans seems obvious.Alternative theory...blame Marco Rubio for backstabbing a significant portion of the conservative base with his lies and a professional Republican political class that wanted as much continuity with George W. Bush as possible for sticking with this guy when it was clear he was a loser. Oh and spare me your demands for Marco to be treated with respect or whatever. He can surrender and be done with it. He's been shutout of delegates in most states over the last week and is in the single digits. He's Jeb Bush but Bush had the good sense to get out before the true humiliation began. I'm not optimistic that these late machinations and endorsement scenarios will happen or even matter. It seems a fairly sizable portion of the GOP electorate actually like Trump and are ready to take the ride. Even if Rubio and Kaisch drop out, there's no guarantee there will be enough crossover to push Cruz over Trump. If Trump picks up 10% between the two of them, he's at or damn near 50% in most places. 5% from each isn't beyond the question. A head to head match up is the best chance Cruz has but it's hard to see him beating Trump 1 v. 1 (or anyone else) in places like NY, PA, CA and so on. There has to be a general movement of #NeverTrump to the real world and as Ace has said many time, "Internet big isn't real world big". The idea that Trump is ripe for the picking is based in hope, not in any evidence we've seen to date. Is it possible there's a general jailbreak against him and people across the country will suddenly say Cruz is better than Trump? Sure. Is it likely? For me this race more or less ended in South Carolina. When Rubio stayed in after going 3rd in Iowa and 5th(!) in New Hampshire, the die was cast. His supporters will say it was one bad debate and had he quit Jeb not Cruz would have gotten his support. Maybe but Jeb wasn't looking so hot either. After IA and NH it was clear Trump couldn't be wished away and action had to be taken to stop him. South Carolina was the chance to unite the right against Trump but Rubio's arrogance and belief he was The Chosen One was all that mattered. And so here we are.

Willowed and vital:
***FLASH***FLASH***FLASH***
Some of you
are aware that my sister-in-law (wife's twin) has been beaten and abused
by her husband for nearly 20 years. Some of you are also aware that he
is armed, unstable and easily provoked. We are all half-expecting the
police to call and notify us that he has killed her, the kids, and
himself.
Today is the end of the beginning.
Shelly left
Scott [names unchanged because fuck that guy] about a year ago. Since
then, she's been fighting a legal battle over custody of her three
children (ages 10, 4, and 9 months). For those of you who math on this
blog, that means even while pregnant, he was beating the shit out of
her. Shelly lived with her mom for a few months and then rented an
apartment with her dad to help defray some of the costs.
Since
she's moved out, Scott has physically threatened several separate
daycare providers, forcing Shelly to find new and more expensive care
for her kids. Currently, one child is in school and the other two are in
separate daycares to minimize the odds that he can find all three of
them at the same time.
At every step in the legal process, Scott
has refused to concede even the slightest fraction of an inch. He has
fought, gambled, lied and abused the system designed to protect the
innocent and punish the guilty. In doing so, he is attempting to win by
out-spending her. He in unemployed, has no education and has not been
able to hold a job for more than a year or so in his entire adult life.
He is being represented by an acquaintance for free, so he has no
financial reason to quit.
Shelly wants full and sole custody of
her children and has documented a long and colorful history of abuse for
the court. The court, though, is slow, and designed with the
presumption of innocence at its base. In this specific case, that means
Scott can get away with nearly everything until the very, very end.
Shelly's
cumulative bills have exceeded $100,000. In an effort to defray these
bills, our family has dipped into retirement accounts, opened lines of
credit and attempted financing. My wife and I have given the money we
can along with many, many weekends, helping Shelly around the apartment
and donating household goods she needs to stay above water.
All of everyone's resources are tapped out.
Scott
has refused to settle, and this custody case is going to trial.
Shelly's lawyer (who is giving her a non-sarcastically great deal) has
quoted her an additional $30,000 to cover the trial itself. That money
simply doesn't exist.
Shelly needs help. She needs it
emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially. If you're the
praying type, please add her to your lists. If you live in the NoVa area
and can donate household goods, please email me (washingtonnearsider at the g mail). If you
can help financially, our family has set up a GoFundMe for her to
alleviate the costs of winning her children from a violent and abusive
man.
If you are inclined and able, please consider giving a few
dollars. We can't offer anything more than gratitude by way of
repayment, but please know that you're helping a desperate woman
fighting to save her children.
Thank you all so very much.

Depending on how the next few contests shake out, I really see the best hope for the next 8-16 years is Trump/Cruz.
I am praying Cruz gets the nod but you gotta be realistic here. To a certain degree, anyway.

@Nearsider:
You can make the URL in your nic point to your email if you put it in like this:
mailto:me@anydomainname.com
Note that I think it defeats the purpose of saying your email is "Blah at gmail dot com", since the text will be available on the webpage to spambot text scanners - but you've already done that with your broken link.
This will make the link work for the less technically inclined Moron/Ettes, at least.

Lemme see: Dondi supporters (who were presumably down with that Open Borders crap) should now unite for Rafael? Because why?
Interesting, especially after Carly Fiorina (who apparently never met a border she didn't want to open or a job she didn't want to ship to a cheaper country) went all gushy about Rafael as well.
I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Yes, yes, I still prefer the Big Mean Meanie Who Is Really Really Mean, but I do see a pattern....

The only way for Cruz to win the nom is for both Rumio and Kasick to drop out now.
If Rumio leaves and Kasick stays, Rumio's voters will go to Kasick, and vice-versa. Cruz picks up nothing significant if just Rumio drops out. Rumio and Kasick both must go, and go right now, for Cruz to defeat Trump.

There's something about politics that so easily turns us into angry absolutists. You can't just disagree with a candidate, they have to become the most horrible monster on the planet. You can't just prefer one politician over another, they have to be a glorious god-being compared to the mixture of pus and feces the other guy consists of.

I'd like Rubio in the debate tomorrow focussed solely on pummeling Trump, while Cruz shifts his substantive attacks to Kasich's awful policies.
Then Rubio drops out and endorses Cruz, either in his closing remarks or right after.

We can only hope that Cruz wins the nomination. But I keep hearing from a lot of people that they don't like him. On the other hand, I think Hillary isn't going to be able to motivate the base.
If Kasich doesn't drop out soon, I am going to have to vote Trump in Ohio just to deliver the deathblow.

The idea that Trump is ripe for the picking is based in hope, not in any evidence we've seen to date
I wonder. I'm planning on voting for Trump, but am still considering Cruz, if the possibility of a gope win is removed from the equation. I'm in Illinois, voting next Tuesday with Ohio and Florida, so it doesn't look like I'm going to get Rubio and Kasich out to make that decision easier, but I have to imagine there are other folks like me in states further down the process.
So I'm saying I think it's possible once Rubio and Kasich are gone there's some Trump support that may move quietly to Cruz (though it may not be possible when the Rubio/Kasich support moves).

The funny thing is-
Rubio absolutely would be the chosen one,
if he hadn't taken Schumer and McCain's advice to fuck the football and fuck it good over illegal immigration
when he had explicitly run on that very issue.
Honestly, I have to hand it to the Dims. They are Past Masters at getting rid of any GOP pol that has the potential to disrupt their gravy train.
Of course, it helps that most of our guys have shoe size level IQs.

The failure in logic is thinking that if Trump is blocked from winning outright and the convention goes to a second ballot, that Cruz has any chance.
The Establishment will not allow it.
Cruz is the person the Bush/Romney/Every Senator/All the Old Money hates the most - far beyond Trump.
If it goes to a second ballot, the nominee will be Rubio or Jeb! or Mitt or somebody out of the blue.
But in no scenario will it be Cruz.
You need to accept the truth.

Oh, fuck me! Rube on Rube friendly fire? This is even bigger than Erick Erickson, Marco: it's time to just lay down on the tracks and DIE. If Rubio quits before Florida his career in national politics is permanently a laughingstock, and the fact he pissed off a major part of the establishment will shut off a lot of lucrative contracts. Plus, you know, he hasn't done much of anything. Of course, the same is true if he quits after Florida. So really the only predictive constant is the vanity and delusion of Marco Rubio.

Rubio supporters should not feel bad. He was a good man, a solid candidate, and still has a bright future. I look forward to voting for him in future elections.
The Gang of Eight thing was a really bad topic to moderate on this year. He was otherwise pretty conservative.
I was for Cruz but if Rubio had caught fire I would have supported him 100%
Anyone but the draft-dodging, KKK-winking, eminent-domain-abusing, four-time-bankrupting, Planned-Parenthood supporting, Democrat-donating, failed-pyramid-scheme-running, women's-face-insulting, Muslim-banning, illegal-immigrant-hiring, amnesty-promising, short-fingered...

Working with an intern shadowing me - she's an adorable young thing who blushes when I make eye-contact - all morning.
I used to go to the same store regularly for art supplies back when I had more illustration work and there was this cute college age girl that worked there who I kept catching eye contact with. The last time I saw her in the story she was leaning against a counter and one of the other helpers, a very fay-looking guy her age, was rubbing her shoulders as I bought some Bristol boards. She looked up and we locked eyes and she blushed like I'd caught her doing something very naughty, bright red. Made me wonder what exactly she was thinking.
If I'd had any real money, a car, and inclination to date someone I knew nothing about I might have asked her out but that wasn't to be.

Look, in '08 or '12 if there'd been a Rubio we'd have all taken him and been glad.
The problem with that now is that after eight years of utter and complete calamity we expect a more committed warrior.
We had the strongest Presidential field since perhaps the founding of the Republic, and what we have left are two freshman Senators and a loudmouth, up against a felon and a crank.
Harold Stassen is spinning in his grave.
For me it's simple: Trump talks the talk, but I trust Cruz to walk the walk.

Yeah if it hadn't been for that whole Gang of 8 then quadrupling down on the stupid with immigration, he would have been a great candidate. I could give the other annoying crap a pass but for that. Rubio would have been a fine choice, but apparently his position on immigration is from the heart and he just can't help himself.

I'm not sure it will be as hard for Cruz to beat Trump in the northern and western purple/blue states as people say. Sure, that was the conventional wisdom, but shouldn't his win in Maine, his 2nd place finishes in Michigan and Minnesota (where Trump landed in 3rd) say otherwise? Trump's only big wins have been in NH and MA.
He's locked up the Deep South but he's looked vulnerable elsewhere, especially against a unified opposition.

IF Cruz sees things that way, what's in it for him to be associated with a losing ticket? I could only see him taking the VP slot if Trump were a very likely winner.
And I think Trump HAS to reach out to the Establishment with his VP choice. Maybe Kasich? He's got to try to forestall a 3rd party GOPe spoiler.

Jennifer Rubin and other moderate GOPe squishes think Trump is a threat to the republic but think letting 10 million illegal immigrants vote and letting double that number in legally over the next 2 or 3 decades is not a threat? Holy fuck. It is a true shame that Rubin, Krauthammer, George Will, WSJ editorialists, NRO/Weekly Standard writers, and the rest of the GOPe media class will be retired and content by the time their media outlets fire their English language staff due to lack of demand and when these "natural conservative" Hispanics elect enough Democrats to power to change the US Constitution WITHOUT needing an activist judiciary (which they will of course have immediately after the illegals are allowed to vote).

Just remember that this was an official statement of the Rubio campaign:
"Rick is a really good spokesman who had the unenviable task of working for a candidate willing to do or say anything to get elected," said Rubio spokesman Alex Conant in a statement. "There is a culture in the Cruz campaign, from top to bottom, that no lie is too big and no trick too dirty. Rick did the right thing by apologizing to Marco. It's high time for Ted Cruz to do the right thing and stop the lies."

If Ted Cruz spontaneously burst into flames in the well of the Senate, and he was surrounded by all the other senators, lobbyists, big money donors and RNC officials who write the rules of the convention, which one would piss on him to help put out the fire?
Answer: None.
And these are the people you folks think are going to give the nomination to Cruz on a second ballot.
I just don't understand that thinking.

72 Working with an intern shadowing me - she's an adorable young thing who blushes when I make eye-contact - all morning.
I used to go to the same store regularly for art supplies back when I had more illustration work and there was this cute college age girl that worked there who I kept catching eye contact with. The last time I saw her in the story she was leaning against a counter and one of the other helpers, a very fay-looking guy her age, was rubbing her shoulders as I bought some Bristol boards. She looked up and we locked eyes and she blushed like I'd caught her doing something very naughty, bright red. Made me wonder what exactly she was thinking.
If I'd had any real money, a car, and inclination to date someone I knew nothing about I might have asked her out but that wasn't to be.

I do believe, however, had the big wigs now wigging out about Trump gotten behind Cruz to begin with, the story might be vastly different. But no, they were too busy trying to ram through their Dole/McCain/Romney guy. Bastages, all.

pick him to be your VP.

I think the guy who said he could shoot someone in public without losing support can probably get away with backtracking his view on Cruz's eligibility, particularly since the matter has gone to court and been tossed.

You mean we shouldn't call Rubio 'little Marco '?
On another note, if Cruz is fortunate to be the nominee he needs to have his dad campaign with him in the areas with a large percentage of Hispanic voters. I know the meme is that Hispanics can dislike other Hispanics depending on the country of origin but Papa Cruz has not lost one bit of his accent and I think they would be more simpatico with Cruz because of it.

True, true. Making Cruz VP isn't a dealbreaker for me, and I don't really care about the hypocrisy allegations. If I can think of three plausible excuses, anyone can. I think it's tactically unwise: Trump can get conservative support some other way, maybe through making Jeff Sessions VP instead. He has tons of options.
Of course, if Trump makes Rubio VP instead, not only will I jump off the train, I will insist that Cruz was the only true path. Thankfully such a notion is utterly crazy and worthless, so I feel pretty confident the VP will be someone else.
Actually, I'm thinking Dave Petraeus.

Unfortunately, some of our enemies ARE Republicans, or so-called Republicans. The RINO Establishment being at the top of the list.
They've shown they'll abandon us at the drop of a hat if we don't do what they want. Let them burn right along with the liberal scum.

Congrats, you took out the most formidable Republican that actually had a more than good chance to trounce Hillary.
What Rubio attempted with immigration reform was no different than what Cruz was supporting.
Regardless, Cruz ain't getting the nom either, even with your imaginary enemy Rubio gone.
So Rubio tears to drink a few weeks before Cruz tears.
Welcome President Hillary Clinton, our idiot base just showed everyone they really are stupid
My guess is an Amnesty bill will be on Hillary's desk ASAP as the Republican leadership is not going to go through another election like this. They'll rip it off like a bandaid.

Something that strikes me about Rubio still being in the race: The righty media has put a lot of blame on CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News, etc for propping up the Trump campaign with a disproportionate amount of coverage. It seems to me that at least part of the righty media has tried to do the same thing with Rubio, flooding the zone with positive stories, which has kept Rubio in the race (I mean literally in the race, not kept him competitive) when by all other measures he should have dropped out much earlier. Does Trump get too much coverage? Yeah, and so did Rubio. And the result of both cases is that we are now more likely than not going to end up with Trump.

I was listening to some talking head schmuck on the way into work this morning and he was blathering on about how the two things that most amazed him in this election were Trump's meteoric rise and Rubio's inability to get any traction. He attributed all, literally all, of Trump's appeal to his populist appeal and tough talk. He could not figure out a single reason why Rubio was a dead man walking for so long. Not one.
There was not even one inkling in this "expert's" mind (and I don't remember who the hell it was...none of the big dogs, but some one of the conservative pundit class) to perhaps consider the biggest single issue that binds the two together. Trump's trump card was and is his tough on immigration stance(s). Rubio's biggest detraction is his failure on immigration.
I'm no mathemwizard, but that equation seems pretty straight forward to me.

So either the lying tag was not truthful, or Trump doesn't mind working with liars.
Trump can probably still make it work, but I don't see why he needs to.

Again, for the hard-of-hearing, it is not enough for Cruz if Rubio drops out. Rubio's support will just go to Kasick.
Look at the map. Count the delegates. Both Rubio and Kasick must exit soon for Cruz to have a chance at the nom.

They will go all in for Cruz.... Carl Rove and the Bush's will suddenly back him... the GOPe will suddenly be his friend.... and the money will flow.
IF Trump is stopped.... some of that money will suddenly dry up for the General.
If Cruz is elected President, we will see a return of compassionate conservatism and the Bush agenda....

Meh, I don't know about his domestic policy stances. And the forced resignation baggage doesn't help.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 09, 2016 05:29 PM (p4UlV)
Backing a man who salvaged a desperate situation and was thanked with railroading will probably matter more than policy, at least as I think of it. He is still relatively popular, especially as the penalty for his mistake was far more severe than anything the Clintons faced for far worse crimes.
As for the forced resignation? I can think of quite a few ways for Petraeus to turn that into an advantage. Quite a few of them end with his tormentors on trial if they're fortunate.
For all I talk about Cruz being more ambitious than principled, I also think that will bring him back to the Trump side. Maybe not as VP, but he'll be smart enough to take advantage of what's offered. Christie will probably get AG, but there are more than a few places that Cruz could be very useful indeed.

This is silly.
Why would people who backed a guy who opposed Obamacare go for Kasich, who loves it?
And why would people who supported Rubio because of his "electability" go for a guy with no path to win the nomination?
Cruz would pick up a significant share of Rubio's supporters, particularly if Rubio endorsed him.
The reason that these GOPe types who are joining Cruz's campaign matter is that they give permission to others like them to go with Cruz. It has nothing to do with policy, because their objections to Cruz were not based on policy as much as that he wasn't "one of them".
It's a preference cascade.
And you gotta bear in mind that while Cruz may be too much of a "hobbit" for these GOPe types, the campaign he has run has not been one of those ham-fisted outsider campaigns. It's been run extremely well, which will also reassure GOPe types that he can win.

I don't really give two squid shits about what "polls" show regarding the general at this point for a few reasons:
1-The R field is so split right now compared to the D side that it skews everything.
2-The R field is curently spending 95% of its energy destroying each other and 5% pissing on the Ds. I'd say it's almost the inverse going the other direction. That will change once the field is cleared of chaff.
3-Yes DT has huge unfavorability ratings. But I have said repeatedly...he is one of the most yuuuuugely amazing political talents we have seen. If he gets the nod and puts all of his focus on destroying Cankles or Doc things could get very interesting.

Yes indeedy, we have concern. We have it by the truckload. Concern is our middle name. You name it, we are concerned about it. From the obscure to the obtuse, we can be concerned about anything.

It must be DefCon 1,000,000 in the halls of wealth and power.
Yeah, they're definitely terrified and panicking. Good. I want them running around like their hair is on fire, crapping themselves and seeing the end that is near. I want them to be barring the door of the castle in fear from the villagers with all the torches and pitchforks. Good.
what does that mean?

I would like Kasich to get some attention from Trump and the others tomorrow.
Make him defend his B.S. job as governor.
Esp. the Obamacare stuff.
Get him talking about gay wedding cakes.
The guy is a time bomb. Once you get him talking, he's sure to blow himself up.
Remember how low he fell early on when he was talking policy and details.
Right now, he's spouting peace, love, dove crapola get him off that.
Get him on his policy views and he'll flame out.

Someone on Twitter just remarked that Rubio is "four to eight years too soon".
No. No he isn't.
It isn't age or, even, experience that has doomed him. It's his wormy little character. It's his gimme attitude of entitlement. It's his lacking for a spine.
Those character flaws will be improved with a little ripening?

If there's one thing Trump seems able to do is completely ignore the nuclear bombs he set off five minutes ago and make niceties.
That's very easy to do when you have no core principles. Which ever way the wind takes you. Whatever it the most politically expedient.

Just happens to be his name. Kind of like "Barack Hussein Obama."
I suppose I could think up a nasty epithet for him, but I don't feel the personal dislike for him that would make me do so. I merely dislike him as a candidate, and dislike what I see as his deficiencies.
When the nasty names many Cruzers like to use for Trump come to an end, perhaps I'll reconsider. But Rubio will always be "Dondi," and Jeb Bush will be "Heb!".
Do those bug you too?

There are conservatives in Washington, even in the Senate, and if they turn on Donald Trump it's not going to be because they're best buds with Ted Cruz.

Yeah, that's another good sign for Cruz. He really has been taking fire not just from the other candidates and the Left-leaning media, but also from much of the Right-leaning media and Fox News. And they've got nothing. The attacks on Cruz primarily have to do with him being unpopular with a group of 99 a-holes who wouldn't give any of us the time of day. There's nothing else. He's battle-hardened.

He's battle-hardened.

How will anyone ever afford an IPhone when they are made in the US?
How will he address the spike in crime once a good becomes scarce due to prohibitive costs?
Coming soon to a mall Apple Store near you:
A hipster walks up to your car, and gives you an unasked for windshield cleaning.
Fortunately, harsh words are usually sufficient to cow them ... but the Apple goods shortage has made the hipsters bolder ...

You burn yourself much harder and you're going to need skin grafts, all joking aside. A woman might not be forever, but taking things one day at a time could be good for you. If anything, some women are attracted to men who don't need status and wealth to get dates. Isn't that going to be the kind of woman who's better for you?
If you're unhappy with yourself, it's probably better that you not inflict that on someone else. If you are happy- jeez, why tear down someone who'd be happy with you, without even knowing who they are?

There are tons of conservatives in blue states who get very enthusiastic about casting votes that actually count for a change. A lot of blue states have closed primaries/cauci. If Rubio and Kasich get out before the 15th the ABT coalition takes this thing in a walk and Trump is a funny footnote like Perot (who was inevitable as late as June of 92).

I picked up Cruz's book "A Time for Truth". The first chapter details the day he confronted the senators in a meeting they put together to tell Cruz to lighten up. They were complaining about going home and being called squishes. Cruz's response was classic. "Well. you could do what you said you would do and stop being squishes".
That sealed it for him.

Trump will win Florida even if Rubio drops out, as he's up over 20% and the early voting train has left the station.
The real action is winner-take-all Ohio, where Kasich is close to Trump and the pick up of a few percentage points of Rubio voters could make the difference.

Since I held my nose and voted for Dole, McCain, and Romney, I reckon, I am strong enough to hold it and vote fro Trump. Apparently, my betters in the party, are not as strong as one little old lady in Tulsa.

Just happens to be his name. Kind of like "Barack Hussein Obama."
I suppose I could think up a nasty epithet for him, but I don't feel the personal dislike for him that would make me do so. I merely dislike him as a candidate, and dislike what I see as his deficiencies.
When the nasty names many Cruzers like to use for Trump come to an end, perhaps I'll reconsider. But Rubio will always be "Dondi," and Jeb Bush will be "Heb!".

I suppose I could think up a nasty epithet for him, but I don't feel the personal dislike for him that would make me do so. I merely dislike him as a candidate, and dislike what I see as his deficiencies.
When the nasty names many Cruzers like to use for Trump come to an end, perhaps I'll reconsider. But Rubio will always be "Dondi," and Jeb Bush will be "Heb!".
Do those bug you too?

Rubio is doing enough on his own to embarrass and humiliate himself and his supporters.
Byron York has pics up of a Rubio rally in a stadium with relatively few people in attendance. This is in Hialeia, Florida, just outside of Miami.
That picture pretty much spells the end even if Rubio can't admit it.

"Trump pretty much has it wrapped up."
Romney & Co "bought" Rubio to go ballistic on Trump through the Florida primary. It's killing Rubio's nice guy reputation and isn't working.
Even if Kasich wins Ohio he won't win another state. So, as expected, this will effectively become a two-man race after 3/15.
In the most likely scenario, given that the back-end is full of states that are winner-take-all or winner-take-most, Trump wins enough delegates to have a majority going into Cleveland. If Trump should instead collapse, Cruz will win a majority of delegates. I put low odds on Trump and Cruz splitting delegates so that neither has a majority.
So if you really wanted to stop Trump (and Cruz) you'd need to have an Establishment candidate jump in after 3/15 to split the vote.
If Romney really had any balls that's what he'd do.

(a) #BlackLivesMatter,
(b) Enabling the Muslim "refugee" invasion of the West, and,
(c) Boosting Marco Rubio.
Consider the third of these in light of the first two.

Yeah I'm not really sure how you quantify how much someone has been attacked or how badly, but it seems to me that Cruz has been facing brutal, angry opposition - mostly from his own party - at least as long and as badly as Trump has.
I would have thought him a bad candidate with no real shot because of his reputation in the GOP plus the public perception of him as this loose cannon madman, but if you look at his polling profile and the voting, he's been on a nearly uninterrupted, gradual upward climb ever since he announced. And that impresses me.
Does that mean it would translate into a win in the general election? Heck these days I don't think anyone can even predict what will happen tomorrow in politics let alone months from now. But it is interesting to watch.

As ATC said, and I think a lot of people would echo here, you can really dislike Trump and think negatives about him, but vote for him over Hillary. Polling doesn't really give you the full picture. Especially since its all over the place.

"Here's Trump timeline on promises to reveal his foreign policy team."
Trump has seemed to hire and promote solid, competent people and stay hands-off in his private business ventures.
This is unfortunately no guarantee of his hiring and promoting well as POTUS. If you look at Trump's various businesses, the overwhelming majority of them are in real estate and hospitality. It's the same model replicated over and over again. So Trump has developed a good eye for picking people who can autonomously manage real estate and hospitality operations.
Unfortunately, a President has to pick people with _widely_ varying skill sets to work in a bunch of departments which are as different as chalk and cheese in what they actually do.

And if someone points out that a few of Trump's business ventures have failed, note that Trump's failures did not kill hundreds of people (or put many more at risk).
I would venture to say that no candidate from either party this year has enough experience to be president. They just think they do.

He can fire everyone at State and let the managers of his golf resorts take a whack at it. They absolutely couldn't do a worse job than Hillary/Huma. Justice Department, same difference, if he could get his attorneys to take a pay cut. There are several bureaucracies that no one would miss if they closed tomorrow and there are several that it would benefit the country enormously to close. The problem with so much of government, even at the very top is that it's run by completely incompetent corrupt knuckleheads who know somebody.

Probably the only one who really comes close, that's left running, is Kasich. And only by a margin. I still strongly believe that someone needs actual political executive experience to be ready to step into the job. President of the USA is no position to walk into and learn on the job.
And nobody better bring up Hillary. You can be married to a brain surgeon and not have the first clue what to do with that scalpel. Marriage does not magically transfer ability by osmosis.

"Using the '64 election as an example of ANYTHING is problematic. Does anyone really think that a Republican could have been elected over LBJ less than a year after he took over for the sainted JFK?
Posted by: IllTemperedCur at March 09, 2016 05:58 PM (o98Jz) "
Well, LBJ wasn't that well liked. They managed to push him out in 1968, after all. Sure, a lot of that was Vietnam backlash, which wasn't yet an issue in 1964, but I digress. Anyways, I don't think we can use the past as much of an indicator. Things shifted very quickly back then - it was only 8 years after Goldwater lost 44 states that Nixon won 49 states in 1972. In the current electorate, no one is ever going to win 49 states. It could be Zombie Reagan vs. Bernie Madoff or Donald Sterling, and it still wouldn't be that much of a romp.

Nope.

No, should Trump win the nomination, I strongly doubt Ted Cruz would accept the VP slot on the ticket if Trump bothered to ask him. After all, Trump personifies the crony capitalism Cruz has devoted his political life to destroying.
I'm betting Trump will tap communist Lenora Fulani, his old Reform Party pal and Pat Buchanan's running mate, to take the job. I know, I know, it would be a wacky, zany kind of move, but why the hell not? We live in Bizarro World, where bonafide sleazebags like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are actually the frontrunners in a presidential election.

"Yeah? I predict a Trump loss to Hillary on the scale of a Reagan/Mondale-like blowout. If the whole idea of voting for a skeevy rat bastard like Donald Trump gives a straight-ticket voting Republican like me a crisis of conscience, imagine the casual independent voter. For such a voter, there would be no crisis for the simple reason there would be no vote for Trump. "
Trump will end up dominating Hillary. Ignore the false numbers designed to take the wind out of Trumps sails, the rest of us do and the train just rolls right on down the track.
Ad to Rubio supporters. We welcome you to the revolution. Time to change course from the hyper advancement of the progressive ideals that the Democrats along with the Republican enablers are inflicting on us.
Come to the side that can win the general. Come to the side that is not completely owned by the big banks and big money donors.
Lets do it!!

I understand why I would vote against Trump.
I don't understand why I would vote FOR Cruz.
They are about the same to me. So unless Cruz can do something other than out Trump Trump, I'm not really very impressed.
Cruz needs to show some humility, some ability to make nice with Rubio, but I seriously doubt that he can do that.
So until Cruz changes, I'll stay with Rubio until he tells me different.

If you want a guy who is going to do his upmost to do exactly what he says. Is not owned by big donors and banks. Will put Americans first today,tomorrow, and always.

Not at all but at this point in time when the country has fallen into complete chaos. With a POTUS who's head is so far up his rear end and a Republican held, conservative Congress that does noting but sign the dotted line on anything that Obama puts in front of them. Then Hell yes I want something different.
And a Billionaire who is self funding his campaign who is talking about a good many things that "conervatives" have been raillin on about just fell into our lap at the time when we need him the most.
So no of course we don't need a billionaire who self funds only be POTUS but we DO NEED HIM NOW to help get the country back on track and shake the political system up. There has never been a time in our lives that, that, is needed as urgently as it is today.

Where I am at right now?
I am hoping for an Independent Party so I can leave this GOP. This isn't what I signed up for when I joined this party.
I am not happy with the people who think they are the ones who own the party. I own it just as much, and you don't speak for me. Ted Cruz doesn't speak for me.
He could, but he has such an off putting way.
His going after Rubio in Florida, admitting that he knows he can't win it and the delegates will go to Trump... that isn't the kind of person I am looking for.
Cruz isn't even trying to get delegates out of Florida, he's camped out there trying to bring Rubio down, not get delegates.
That is exactly the opposite of the person I want.
So Third party is fine. Good luck with beating Trump and Hillary. No skin off my nose.
You picked a stinker of a champion.

If Rubio and Kasich lose their states it is clear they cannot win the most delegates. They should then do everything possible to keep Cruz and Trump from winning Either the nomination or general. That is how I feel about Unity.
I would rather Cast an empty ballot than one for either of those two. Neither have the character suited to be President.
Hopefully Hillery gets indited and if Bernie wins it will be beautiful gridlock. Just need to survive 4 years of that without getting Nuked by North Korea, which would be unlikely with our kin commie president in office.

I did not allow my brain to be washed free of common sense by talk radio and blogs. I see lots of principled people in Congress. I see many who disagree with me on things, but are still honorable people. I believe they are elected by people with as much right to be represented as you are. They do represent the people who elected them.
I wish they had passed bills and let Obama veto them. Sure, but I dont' see any reason to assume they did it because they agree with Obama, they just knew it was stupid to do it, because he would veto it.
The dishonorable one is Cruz, because he leads you to believe that he could over rule Obama by force of his will, instead he set the conservative movement back years.
Cruz was out to fool you into believing him, not fix anything at all. And now he wants me to support him. He can accomplish nothing, but he can sure blame everyone else!
All he does is blame others. He fooled people, and blamed others, that is not Presidential.

I did not allow my brain to be washed free of common sense by talk radio and blogs. I see lots of principled people in Congress. I see many who disagree with me on things, but are still honorable people. I believe they are elected by people with as much right to be represented as you are. They do represent the people who elected them.
I wish they had passed bills and let Obama veto them. Sure, but I dont' see any reason to assume they did it because they agree with Obama, they just knew it was stupid to do it, because he would veto it.
The dishonorable one is Cruz, because he leads you to believe that he could over rule Obama by force of his will, instead he set the conservative movement back years.
Cruz was out to fool you into believing him, not fix anything at all. And now he wants me to support him. He can accomplish nothing, but he can sure blame everyone else!
All he does is blame others. He fooled people, and blamed others, that is not Presidential.

The Gang of 8 with Rubio and Schumer was a betrayal to Conservatives. It was like he took a dagger to our hearts ripped it out and stabbed us in the back. He will one day need to apologize to all of us that supported him to be elected to the Senate.

Then, there's this happy news: Palestinians were celebrating the murder of the American vet (two tours in Iraq, one in A-stan, West Point grad) who was in Israel on a study program through Vanderbilt. Stabbed to death by a peaceful goat herder. Abbas joined in calling the murderer a "hero."

I'm not saying Cruz couldn't convince me. He just has made no effort to appeal to me.
And in that case this GOP doesn't speak for me.
I'm not jumping on that bandwagon for a man who is vengeful and hateful, I do not believe anything good comes from that.
Abortion is already legal. Gay marriage is already legal.
Cruz can't change that.
I wish that Trump hadn't happened, but it did. Trump cost us the Supreme Court and Cruz supporters cost us the Supreme Court.
If Cruz wants my support he can earn it.

It is interesting to me that liberals will fight and fight (and never give up) until they get "law changes" but then they get offended when people try to reverse their activist judicially imposed positions and claim then that "it's the law of the land!?!!!".

I'm grateful for the imminent collapse of Rubio if only because we don't have to continue to watch Ace dress up his ego plays as being based on policy and political science.
Watching Ace and Drew whine about the establishment and how they're going to show the establishment that they aren't even Republicans anymore and that'll show the establishment who are elites anyhow and Rubio is Mario and everyone will miss me when I kill myself has not been great reading and listening of late.
Election 2016 may have destroyed the GOP, but that pales in comparison to watching this blog shed all the co-bloggers who disagreed that Rubio was the worst ever. BTW, when was the last time the podcast featured anyone besides the Mario Brothers, Ace and Drew?

Trump just admitted during a speech that he wasn't really going to build the wall - his signature issue.
Babbled on about "Natural Barrier" for half of the 2000 miles of border.So its only going to be 1000 miles wide.
The Rio Grande that flows near my house is about 4 feet deep and 30 feet wide. You can practically piss across it.

Nice job, 572.
I supported Rubio. I still think he was the best hope to have someone other than HRC appoint the next Supreme Court justice. But that battle has been lost. Time to pick Cruz and his 5% chance of winning. But I agree the blog should at least improve as the establishment bashing--and I can't even believe I'm saying this because I loathe the establishment--is getting old.

I was a big Cruz fan... And Rubio, Rand, and Carly. With the bs coming out of Cruzmania it's making it harder to support Cruz. In other words, his supporter lunacy is tarnishing Cruz himself.
Here's a hint... Do you even want any endorsements? Or are you hoping that Kasich and Rubio suffer from battered-wife syndrome and support Cruz after his supporters bash them this hard? Are you guys retarded?
Think I'm full of shit??? Fine. How many former candidates dropped out and supported Cruz? How many??? Yes, Carly did when it was down to basically a trump / not trump battle.
CruzBots need to get a clue. Or we really will lose this in November.

So in the past decade, Democrats have been gauging the quality of their proposals and candidates by how much Republicans hate either.
Obama must super qualified because Republicans say he isn't.
Obamacare must be the fairest redistribution of income evah because Republicans say it isn't.
Like that. In fact, I think we can relate to seeing a Liberal feeling especially joyous when we Conservatives cringed at Obama's election and re-election.
Donald Trump is us doing that to them.

Too bad neither Cruz nor Rubio are eligible for the office, as neither had two citizen parents at birth. The same applies to Obama.
I know this issue has been finessed by all sides by pretending that the categories of "native born" and "natural born" are synonyms, which they are not: All natural born citizens are native born, but not all native born citizens are natural born.
We continue with this illusion at the peril of our national security.

Jefferson and Jackson don't belong on that list because the Constitution exempted those born before the establishment of the United States from the requirement. The rest of the list demonstrates that we have been remiss in this matter before now. The, by my lights, atrocious records of two of them, Buchanan and Wilson, argue for the wisdom of the requirement.
Anyone who so readily resorts to an ad hominem has no business calling anyone else stupid.

Farmer -- me too, everyone I know here thinks Trump is a loony buffoon, although that's probably the professional classes.
My guess is Rubio and Kasich throw IL to Trump, as in Michigan. But when you look at other Midwest states -- Idaho, Kansas, Michigan -- who knows what will happen.
If you google GOP primary wiki, you'll see IL has 15 WTA delegates (3 RNC, 12 at-large) and the other 54 are by CD.
As I've pointed out elsewhere, that distinction normally doesn't matter too much in primaries because someone wins by 20 and takes every CD. But in a four-way race, two candidates might split the CD. It's hard to imagine the 3rd or 4th place candidates getting anything, so once again this probably helps Trump if he wins with his usual 35%-40%.

I'm sorry, I didn't see your question until now.
Article II, sec.1: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United
States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be
eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be
eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty
five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United
States.
One should notice a distinction is being made between a natural born citizen and a citizen only: no one could be the natural born citizen of a nation that didn't exist yet.
Hallucination, my eye.
