I can see why you wouldn't want to get into those situations.
it would mean admitting there are limits on who you would support as the Republican candidate. No, what it means is that a "candidate" who is exposed to have done those things will not win the Repub nomination, so none of us will be faced with those what-ifs ahead of time. If/when Rubio or Trump or Cruz is proven to have done one of those crimes, he will be thrown under the bus by the Repub process. This is pretty much the exact opposite of the Democrat process, in which illegality and avoidance of prosecution is seen as a politically savvy move. another I'm not answering the questions answer

Why is it that "conservatives" are able to find one issue with a candidate they don't like and then conclude that candidate is unsuitable? Or forgive the fact that Trump was a Democrat until he decided to run for President, but not forgive Rubio's amnesty stand. Not a Rubio fan by a long shot but my eyes are not blindfolded either. miles you miss the bigger picture No one is saying Trump is a true conservative. He is just positioning himself as a hard liner on topics that true conservatives wouldn't touch because they are politicians first. And before someone provides a laundry list of what Cruz been a hard liner on - there is no denying that Trump introduced hard stance policies into the conversation when none of the candidates was going to do it. He forced them to take stands - and in some cases tried to be more Trump than Trump in order to get people to pay attention to them again.

Bullshit. I've posted Cruz's "hard line" stances on the issues for four years.
You're just not a conservative. That's okay, but admit it. You'll feel better.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

so that's the tactic today to support Cruz eh
let me make sure I'm clear on this - if you vote for Trump you're not a conservative
is that the stance, or is it nuanced to where if you don't think Cruz didn't take a hard line stance when he began running for president you're not a conservative.

It's a condensation. There is no other legitimate reason not to support Cruz.

I've already said multiple times the two candidates I will vote for are Trump and Cruz
but he's a horseshit politician - he has just worked hard from day one to position himself as the "outsider" who is inside Washington which I personally believe was intentional to be president.
A 1 term senator hasn't had time to establish anything other than a persona

A 1 term senator hasn't had time to establish anything other than a persona. And, due to the complicated parliamentary rues in the Senate, if he serves more than half a term he will have been forced into votes that can be used to discredit him in any quest for higher office. Show me a multi term Senator going directly into the W H since JFK. Then, go back prior to him.

I absolutey, positively, without even a hint of a doubt will never cast a vote for Rubio,...at all, even. It's primary season, so now's your chance to influence who the nominee will be. But if you can't get your guy nominated, take one for the team and vote for the nominee, even if it is Rubio. Anything else is a betrayal far greater than anything Rubio has done.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

The "team" is Hillary, Sanders, and Rubio. Only Rubio has the ability to damage the GOP.

No, the team is those of us that want to keep our guns. Rubio would do less damage to the country than Sanders or Clinton. That's not debatable. Please reconsider your position, even if you don't acknowledge doing so here.

So you have absolutely ZERO issues or concerns with Trump's past record on everything from anti-2A, to SP healthcare, and everything else, or is he the only one that gets a pass on changing his mind?

Bristoe and KWFA coming up with this election cycle's excuses to not vote at all.

No Hillary vote,...no Sanders vote,...no Rubio vote.

Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio on Thursday vaulted into second place in a daily tracking poll, but he still trails front-runner Donald Trump by double digits in the New Hampshire primary
