(donald,ted and marco) no one has anything to say about the republican debates? If the dems were acting a fool like this on national tv, you guys would be all over it.
And to think that some here thinks that two old socialist on a debate stage is normal. LOL!!

Good thing Cruz is not getting in the gutter with Trump and Rubio.
-
After Tuesday, the net gain over Cruz for Trump is probably going to be fewer than 15 delegates.

Yes it might be time for Cruz and Rubio to put egos aside. A Cruz/Rubio Rubio/Cruz is the only chance to catch Donald Trump.
Cruz/Rubio would do the trick!

There are just as many, if not more, reasons to criticize and/or not vote for Trump as there are for Hillary, which is impressive considering he's never held any type of political office (which in itself is a very good reason not to vote for him). As for your "middle of the road" comments.. You like to gripe because we "vote for whoever makes us feel good." i have a problem with people who'll vote for someone simply because of their party affiliation, no matter what kind of person they've proven to be. You can gripe all you want about us, but voters such as myself actually taking the time to choose a candidate based on merit, standing, and stances is a good thing for our country, even if isn't a good thing for the ultra conservative in the GOP who'd like things to go back to the way they were 40 years ago. As tough as it is to stomach, this isn't the same country it was 40 years ago, and even though you, and people like you, think that everyone who doesn't believe in strict conservatism is bad for the country, the fact of the matter is that your viewpoints are no longer held in the majority. Moderates are not going to overlook those conservative (and, in some cases, discriminatory) views and vote for a guy like Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, even if they want a candidate who will curb spending. You can continue to believe that others should change and conform to your beliefs, but it's simply not going to happen. Ultraconservative GOP ideologies will always have strongholds, but those strongholds are dwindling, and younger generations are less and less conservative. Strict moral beliefs are no longer powerful enough to carry a presidency, and that's not really that recent a development. Hell, if Jeb hadn't given his brother the presidency in 2000 we wouldn't have seen a republican in the oval office in the last 25 years, and i highly doubt that this will change this election cycle. Because as ineffective as Obama has been, and even though he's been hell on our deficit and bad for our economy, things aren't nearly as bad as all of you guys predicted they would be by now. In a sense, by predicting that he'd run our country completely into the ground and bring about an armageddon, Republicans have made Obama's presidency a success of sorts because he hasn't done that. When he was supposed to bring about the end of our country, it doesn't really seem like a big deal that we had a slow economic recovery after the recession he inherited. So, pairing Obama's failure to bring about the rapture like many conservatives predicted, combined with the fact neither Trump nor Cruz is appealing to anyone outside of the far right, and the fact that Hillary will carry the liberal, african american, and female vote, means we're likely in for 8 more years of democratic leadership. The republican party MUST adjust their ideologies towards more centric stances, and provide a palatable candidate for the presidency if they want to win it back anytime soon. That's just the way it is.
How about this: Instead of a Capitalist, Constitution loving American like Cruz, or anyone on the Right, changing to pander to some group that doesn't much believe in what I stated, how about those groups changing and start believing what's right (uh, no pun intended) about America? You know, again: The Constitution and Capitalism. bullets, have you ever read the 10th Amendment? If not, read it tell this forum what you see.

Because he's a bombastic jackass, and there's no way that he's going to win among the middle of the road voters who decide every election. Even many voters who want a republican in office are going to have a hard time voting for him.
You may right. That's the conventional wisdom. Poll I saw was the Cruz and Rubio would beat Hillarious but not Trump. All the more reason to vote for Cruz or Rubio.
Merrick Garland nominated for Supreme Court

It's my understanding is that this individual feels the 2nd Amendment is is not for the citizenry but ONLY for militias. This is one reason obama nominated him. So, would he vote to take your guns away? Sounds like it!
