Tuesday is voting day in Oklahoma. I am still undecided. I am considering only two candidates . . . Cruz and Trump. The number one quality for Cruz is he claims he will support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I took that same oath decades ago, so it is really important to me. On the other hand, Trump is a proven business man who has the demonstrated knowledge and leadership to turn around our failing economy and put us on the road to solving our debt problem. Both claim they will build a wall and get all the illegals out of our country. Not sure who I am going to vote for. A Trump/Cruz ticket would be a dream team for me. Let Trump fix the economy and build the wall, while Cruz seasons and prepares to take over in eight years.

Cruz has argued on the side of conservatives 9 times before the supreme court. More times than any acting member of congress.

Your choice is between a Liberal and a Conservative.

In fact, it's between a principled Conservative and an egomaniac with no real convictions beyond self-satisfaction.

If Oklahoma can't hold the Conservative line.... we're all lost.

It doesn't count for much as far as delegates in a primary, or Electoral votes in the General, but it, not Texas, is the symbol of Conservatism.

Trump is very accomplished and actually has hired the right people for various leadership positions. Look for him to use that experience to have a great team working with him.

Vote Trump to make America great again.

It's evident that Trump is the non establishment GOP candidate. All Republicans will vote for a non establishment GOP candidate but non establishment Republicans won't vote for an establishment candidate in the general election.

Republicans have to have a non establishment candidate to win the general election.

That's really all that needs to be said.

Trump, who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his father, failed with Trump Steaks, failed with Trump Vodka, failed with the United States Football League, failed with Trump Air, failed with Trump Mortgage company, failed with his major companies’ four infamous bankruptcies, and failed spectacularly with a real-estate seminar series grandiosely called Trump University, even though it awarded no accredited degrees.

For the latter, he appeared in ads saying the seminars would feature his own personal investment strategies and instructors he hand-picked — but in a court deposition, he admitted he couldn’t identify any of the teachers and was almost entirely unfamiliar with course contents. The enterprise folded some five years ago, but remains subject to three major lawsuits alleging deceptive trade practices. The complaints allege that those taking the seminars paid up to $35,000 for near-useless information and for promised “mentoring” that rarely was provided.

As for the bankruptcies, Trump dismissed them during a debate last summer as having hurt only big-money lenders who were “total killers” who merited no sympathy. In truth, though, thousands of small-business vendors, contractors, and workers were left wanting, sometimes with just pennies on the dollar. One bankruptcy alone produced a list of creditors 1,904 pages long, including at least 30 with addresses in South Carolina.

As so many of these mom-and-pop businesses were left unpaid, Trump himself, in one business “restructuring” of major Trump debts, was “limited” to a strict, personal monthly living allowance of $450,000 — as much in a single month as some of his bankruptcy creditors might make in 10 years.

Having worked in key leadership positions in major O&G this is spot on. Bringing on and empowering the right folks is key and a good leader/businessman knows how to do this. He knows this stuff.

And lost as much as he's won.

When you consider that 1 side wins and 1 loses, the Cruzer has been as effective as a monkey with a crayon.

Cruz has accomplished exactly nothing in his entire career, except promote himself.

Typical establishment loser.

Now, the Cruzer acts as if he was just watchin this stuff happen in congress, steada bein the person that coulda made a change.

Except he did nothing of any effect.

DT has had successes and failures. But he was *and is* the man in the arena.

And he has actually made a difference, all by himself.

No "congress" to blame, no O'Buckwheat, who the Cruzer *never* stopped, on any issue.

Vote for somebody who's actually accomplished something in life, or vote for the Cruzer.

Trump will have Plenty of opportunities to blame Congress if elected.

DC will not let him run things like he runs his business. They'll fight him tooth 'n nail; he an outsider, not one of Them.

I believe the SCOTUS will teach him some manners along the way, also.

He'll be hated by both parties and get nothing he is promising.

I'd go with Cruz over that shyster from NewYork..
A gentleman over a brash brat.
Cruz on the same ticket with trump is NOT going to happen.

If it was me that sTrump was calling a "liar" up on that stage, I'd have said out loud to that mofo.."one more time axxhole and I'll knock that dead cat off the top of your head"!
Mr.Cruz is too much of a gentleman. Cause you would not get far arguing a case in front of the Supreme Court with trumperTantrums!
I hate Bullies, especially NYork bullies who think their sheit dont stink.

Polyanna BS, mostly.

DT WILL get the opportunities, but if his policies, the will of the people that elected him, are blocked, then it's the congress, not DT, that is to blame.

Yes, establishment hacks like the Cruzer will try to stop DT from making changes that hurt their donors.

So, DT will need the continued support of the people to vote out the losers that continue to thwart what the people want.

IOW, Trump will have pushed this country back to where it should be.

And, he's proven that you don't have to be an insider hack, or necessarily wealthy, to get elected.

DT will be the most inspirational president in recent history, based on what he's already accomplished in getting there.

Supreme kangaroos? Well, John "Cruzer" Roberts and the skirts sure showed O'Buckwheat, didn't they?

I like Cruz, and I think he is the most conservative of the R candidates. He's not going to get the nomination and it's his own fault. Someone in his campaign should have coached that TV preacher delivery out of him long ago. I can't stand to listen to him talk.

Trump is going to win it all in a landslide.

Bowsinger, or should I call you the Cut and Paste Queen..

Failures mean nothing. You can have hundreds of failures.. but, in the business world it just takes one or two successes.

That's something you guys don't get. You can fail at 10 businesses, and go bankrupt 10 times. But, if on that 11th time it "works", you'll make an absolute pile of money.

Trump is a businessman. He was not afraid to fail. And, he got more than enough "right".

LMAO at that reasoning. There won't be any honeymoon, and the established and entrenched in Congress will have a field day working over a "reality" show star.

Reality will set in immediately, and DT will go batschidt nuts that he can't bully his way around DC.
