Cant be true, so many said he was the man and would beat trump, all we heard for the last while was he was the man, guess some here really do not understand the way people are feeling.
Republican Ted Cruz has withdrawn from the Republican nomination race. Donald Trump is getting set to address his supporters at an event in New York, New York.

Fugg Cruz.

Time for the Trump/Cruz ticket?

He's gonna take the millions he has left and bribe the electoral college delegates.

THIS ISN'T OVER!!!!!!!!!

LMAO.... never happen

Cruz will now play ball with Trump and he's setting himself up to be considered for AG...or even VP...which I don't think is even remotely possible.

I wouldn't mind seeing him as AG.

#MadamPresident

Negative... Trump is going to beat her like a red headed step child.

Honest to god, did not think he was going to drop out.

Cruz for Supreme Court replacement

Yeah, right.

no more eating boogers on national TV...h

Yep. There were at least three decent picks in the GOP field and the dipshits picked the only loser. I hope to be wrong, just like I hoped Obama wasn't exactly what he appeared to be.

TFF Sanders beats Clinton in Indiana

well neither did a lot of the others, Issac is one that said all along Trump would be in it, and cruz out, looks like he was more up on how the populace felt.
Looks like a lot of crow for some that campaigned so hard for Cruz.

RobJordan has not posted yet about how if you do the math Cruz can still win?

LOL

my question........

who's been doing Cruz's job as as senator ??

are we still paying him to campaign ?

if so...thats a crock of........

What the crap is Mitt Romney gonna say about this? He bad mouthed trump and now has to do a 180. What a loser.

Cruz is lulling Trump into a sense of safety before Cruz announces his cabinet next week

This would be the only place he would fit in.

How old are you?

Amen! I would LOVE Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court!

Lying Ted???????????

Fugg Cruz.

Giggity,giggity,giggity!!!

Remember when the all of the really savvy folks were saying that Trump "would drop out before the first debate" or how about the second debate or maybe that he was only running to " help Hillery", what a load of crap.

The political world has had it's way with Ted Cruz, for better or for worse. He's in the past (for now), it's time to focus on that cackling demonic witch, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I'll bet thats it.

==============

I believe Trump would welcome Cruz somewhere at one of the big tables.

God forbid.

Bus boy?

Rob has not posted because Rob had a stroke.

LOL

We're going to need to set up a psychiatric GOFUNDME account for a handful here.

LoL!!! He's foaming from his mouth as he spins around in his lawyers chair.

I'm thinking some Trump supporters are having a "stroke" right now too.

FDR: "A chicken in every pot"

Trump: "A brick of Trump-brand .22LR in every gun cabinet"

Is this the part where Trump throws the election to Hitlery?

Maybe ltppowell can fill us in.

I wouldn't be blowing one another yet.

Hillary was once pinned down by sniper fire; she's a good an actor as Trump ever will be.

I'll vote for Trump but you can't make me like doing it.

I was just thinking the same thing. Heal the divide, bring those "never Trump" people into the fold and completely destroy Hillary in November. I actually think it would be a smart move.

Cruz for SCOTUS?

Have you heard of the Senate doing anything lately youdumbschitt!
They've been on vacation ...and that is good

I'm afraid you'll be proven right.

While I'd love to see Cruz as VP, he'd be better on SCOTUS or in the administration somewhere like AG where he has more ability to affect change. Trump would be wise to pick a VP who will get him a swing state. That said, I think Cruz would be great to unite the GOP again and bring staunch conservatives aboard. Not sure we want that yet. Schidt's getting real.

Might be over,but he still needs to get to 1237.

If it happens i will vote for him.

What the country gets with him might be something,good or bad.

Now the real media coverage of Trump will begin.

I hope Trump puts the smack down on hillary! That said, the above comment is reflective of the garbage that our country has become. I guess it is cultural? I had a Yankee transplant at the sawmill today, dropping F bombs with his teenage kid standing right beside him. What a shame.

Sadsaac... before thst happens sTrumpy has to mend fences with everybody he has insulted and defamed... and you know what??

sTrumpy is NOT big enough of a MAN to do that !

my gawd, let's ease up on the celebration a lil bit


we've got a national election coming up and the choices are an orange reality TV star and a career criminal.


I'm hopin the criminal doesn't win.

+1000

And I also hope she doesn't help carry the senate back to the Dems.

Now let's concentrate on beating Hillary.

I've always considered the wisest of men never bark up the wrong tree. The problem with this country is folks who vote think they can predict the finally of what the man they route for will do when they don't have enouph wits to see the finally of who will even be there to be voted apon. When one knows beyond any doubt who will be there it saves thousands of hours of worthless threads that accomplish nothing other than to expose shear stupidity. I stated 6+ months ago it WILL BE TRUMP AND HILLARY! Now I'll have to read another week of ignorant phugging Bernie supporters till the facts that is facts shut them up.

The biggest problem with the exposure is it tells wise men that stupidity abounds in such numbers that the demise of the USA is a mathematical certainty.

Now I'll make my grand prediction as a wise man to which I am positive most will not heed. The truth is it makes no difference at this point who you try to elect. The crumbling of this country along with complacency and a willingness to ignore started about 100 years ago. 100+ years of complacency shows a much greater issue in mentality of the good folks than it does in the Greed and corruption of governmental officials. Mentality of the good folks has been found lacking and 100+ years demonstrates a factual trend that will continue. The good folks is where every government will be allowed or kept in honest check. The people have spoken loudly and said take as you wish and I'll kiss your ass and anything you please O great master.

I don't vote because from a phycolgical observation I do not participate in worthless endeavors that will not bring about a desired result. Why won't the desired result ever happen.

The answer is simple. Everyone believes the right elected official will fix things. The problem is you cannot fix anything without fixing the complacency of the American people and complacency has a 100 year record of saying it's here to stay.






Shod

rollin' here!!

I can see it now. Cruz, his wife, and Che' Ciruz senior , all knelt down... Crying... Praying for guidance from Jesus for the answers...
"Dear Lord, Jesus... Please tell me... Should Apple be required to crack an iPhone fort the FBI?... Praise God name.... Boo Hoo...."

and now they are saying that rubio is saying nice things about trump. i said weeks ago it would be a trump/rubio ticket and that may just happen.

You don't spell well either.

Funny, you folks that don't vote find all sorts of reason not to.

Of course you find all sorts of reason not to work at fixing the problem you say voting won't fix.

Yet you'll certainly opine at your omnipotence.

You are as bad as Bristoe. Hate to lay money on the difference.

Elphaba just won POTUS. Hang onto yer hat...

No need to screw things up by teaming up with an establishment hack, globalist career politician.

Ditto..

Rob? Calhoun?

Twice...

Yeah, since he's got his VP picked... What an idiot..

there is definitely a role for someone willing to call a Senior Senator a liar on the Senate floor, regardless of what his ulterior motive was.

Cruz would be a good enforcer - and he'd probably relish the role as an opportunity to rebuild his somewhat tarnished reputation in a presidential bid for 2020 of whenever.

I think Cruz has to rebuild some trust among the base.I really don't blame him for what he's done in an attempt to win the presidency but I do think he badly misread how to get there. Once he realized he lost the role as the "outsider" in the race, he just reverted back to politics as usual.

He can't do that again - unless Trump redefines what the usual politics are.

I think I'd like him as AG - but I still don't believe he is on board for stopping illegal immigration. I just have serious reservations about any first generation American - especially one with dual citizenship being dedicated to stopping mass immigration into this country.

The "base" has been totally alienated from this election. Nothing new.

Why would we need to eat crow for wanting a man to be president. I do think it is the right thing at this time. We all need to support the Donald and beat Hillary. I just hope (still) that The Donald remembers that he is a Republican after the election. miles

if you define base as anyone who thinks the will of the people should be ignored, then good

keep'em on permanent ignore

Correct. Cruz was the only conservative in the race. That the majority of republican voters and the establishment don't want that is no surprise. It's not our first rodeo. Gettin' throwed is just part of the ride.

I think he means "base" are people that don't expect one person should redefine "usual politics".

in that context, then its good they're alienated too

I said it last week in my concession, I'll not apologize for backing Cruz and thought him the best candidate but the masses and people want Trump ...so let them eat cake and lay in the bed that has been made...I'll give them a fork and help tuck them in but I didn't bake the cake nor put the sheets on this bed

The alternative to liberal is conservative. Liberals are the Democrat's base, conservatives are the Republican's base. It is not a subjective term that is up for interpretation. There are no conservatives in the race.

No.

Liberals or big govt types are the 'base' of both parties.....but you already knew that.

People do love them sum big brutha..

Dood...you guys are the one's that are expecting a POTUS to "straighten things out". The only thing that fixes government is less of it.

I do hope that this means that you will be voting and voting against the Democrats. You are in a state where it matters, for every vote. miles

You don't have to worry about Dan. He's a good American and used to voting for the lessor of evils.

Cruz wasn't a really a conservative anyway.

But even so, he was phony at whatever he is, and that counts more in politics than what someone claims to hold philosophically.

If he was a true conservative Christian, he would simply quit whining and tearing down someone to whom he lost, gather himself with dignity, chalk it up to "God's timing," and get ready to win the next time around, or the time after.

As it is, he cracked under the pressure, both he and his wife do not have what it takes to survive the demands of the office, and he is now being a sore loser and burning bridges.

He's a political hack who is also a political dimwit. The best he could do is hope for an appointed position that does not require him destroying his family to get there.

if it was only that black and white

There are about 7 definitions of what conservative is.

You were defining it differently every week on here

Its about the 2A

Its about SCOTUS

Its not about immigration

on and on.

Being conservative isn't about whatever it takes to get your candidate elected.

Trump would be a laughing stock if he had not have touched on the some basic ideas that voters wanted. Immigration, bad trade, islamic threats

whether anyone likes it or not, he's (and with the backing of the voting public) has made those conservative principles.

and those opposing it put up a vicious fight - and failed miserably at it

of course if faced with two choices pick one not voting doesn't do any good as one choice is most alway more preferable than the other. So yes the fork is my vote for Trump

The "so called" conservatives in the GOP leadership positions have folded over for the globalists for so long that the rank and file Republicans have given up on them. The GOP now represents Nationalism.

And before you jump up and start telling me Cruz's conservative bona fides, he was instrumental in working the get the TPP bill passed. The TPP bill is the NAFTA of the new millennia.

And don't try to tell me that he was too stupid to know what it was.

Cruz isn't stupid. He hooked up with Paul Ryan to get TPP passed and he knew exactly what it was.

The reason everybody in Congress hates Cruz is because he was sneaking around doing the same thing the rest of them were, and then throwing them under the bus for doing it.

Well unless you voted I guess you don't have much right bitching about who's there and what they do or don't do

I could like that.

And America. Conservatives just lost forever.

I don't vote for globalists.

They don't represent American interests.

The GOP is lousy with globalists,...has been for quite some time. If the party bosses had their way, this country would have a Republican globalist candidate this time.

Republicans nominated an "America First" candidate this time.

No "double the national debt" George W,...No Manchurian Candidate McCain,...No Mitt Alinsky Romney.

Yeah,..Republicans will turn out to vote this time. For the first time in a *long* time, they've been given a reason to.

At this point the decision is pretty simple.

You either vote for the establishment run by most likely Hillary or you Vote against the establishment and vote for an outsider (Trump) seems like a no brainer to me?

Even if Trump is as bad as his critics say he will be much better than the establishment.

The establishment is how we got where we are today.
They are the true enemy.

Yep.

You can save the excuses and self righteous bullcrap

I don't give advice easily, but I'm giving it now. Stop acting like a five year old and making up bullshit just to piss off people you need if you expect to have any chance of winning in November. Trump is very unpopular within his own party. Blaming everybody else for his unpopularity will not make anyone like him better. You got him. Now you gotta make the 60% of Republican voters that hate him...not.

at the voting booth in november it's going to be a choice between the hillbilly and the Trumpman, one or the other.

so, once again with feeling, are we going to vote for the lesser of two evils, or remain home while the "activists" choose our next president.

either one is big business as hell. but, neither are harvard law school graduates. we know about those kinds of folks already.

given a choice i'll choose trump every day on twice on sunday rather than the HillBilly. whatever the West Virginia rank & file wants, then that's what me and my kind wants also.

I'm not faulting anyone for not voting for a guy out principle.

In this case though, I'm so scared of Hillary that I would have voted for Cruz even though the Cruz supporters her showed me what a nutcase he was.
