Cruz reminds me of the vampire puppet in that **** Sarah Silverman movie except he's not likeable, and is a lying untrustworthy selfish self centered nasty smegma infested deek. Other than that he's ok.

Gummy I'm beginning to think he's the only one that can win. Everyone but the hard core zealots see Cruz for what he is, Rubio is a light weight, and who is 4..... Kasaich?

I worry trump is too polarizing

He has his rabid supporters who follow his pipe dreams in a similar way that the "free" crowd follows bern but sensible folks should easily see past both. We are just so fed up that the garbage those two fools are selling seems reasonable.

Maybe so but there is also the fact that if he can get out of the primaries he can go back to being a democrat.

Democratic socialist.

^ that might be the most hilarious outcome of this. While his existence in the presidential race is an embarrassment to our entire nation... If he wins there is a non-zero chance he'll act completely different from how the people who voted him in expect.

As a formerly available vote, I say Cruz is the polarizing option. Trump is drawing those from both parties who are attracted to bravado and suffer from low T, But Cruz couldn't get a Dem or soft lib vote evah.

Though I doubt he would win, I think Trump is the only GOP candidate with any chance, and I think that is a long shot.

A lunatic narcoleptic doctor, TWO Freshman senators,this after railing about Obama's inexperience, and who can remember what else paraded across debate stages. And the only candidates that might get some lib votes, like the Governors, were unable to pass the insane litmus tests that only the GOP could invent.

You had 8 freaking years! Stop blaming the "sheeple", the freeloaders, the lazies and crazies. It's Mirror time for the party that time has forgotten.

The OP is correct.

We will see
I just want to see a conservative run rather than democratic-lite or a gimmick
Romney and McCain were jokes
Trump is a similar joke with a different punch line

The dems have two career politicians - an oligarchical liar and a socialist - not exactly very inspiring
If the repubs lose this one then they may never win again

Gumster, after 8 years of preparation, are you all in on any GOP candidate, or just anti the other side?

I will vote for the only constitutionalist running and that is cruz
If only he didn't come off as such a schmuck
I think he would be a lock
Something about his delivery just seems less than truthful and that hurts him

Self proclaimed.

It's not his delivery it's the fiber of his being. His delivery simply shows it.

I'm not sure how anyone could know that
All we have is his voting record and some editorials talking about him being a mean guy

The establishment on both sides hates the guys guts so that's good enough for me

That's just it. You like him because of that. It taps in to something understandable. That to me is the only reason to like him and it's not good enough for me.

It's a protest vote. Much like Bernie.

No he bases his decisions on the constitution and the Bible
I have followed his career very closely and always know where he will stand on issues
Now I don't love Cruz's economic plan but I certainly like it better than a system that stifles ingenuity

I will admit that bernie is at least consistent with his socialist principles going back decades (which is more than I can say for hilary)

And whomever wins is president of all of us not just a narrow band of zealots.

I've followed his career since he hit the senate. He does claim it's the bible and constitution that drives his decisions. He says that over and over and over. Just ask him. He's the only one that follows the bible and the constitution. It's his shtick. He's a self centered POS and has a relatively small group of people bamboozled. He's feeding their beast. He is smart though.

That's my opinion. If you love him God bless you.

Agreed
The countless "zealots" (Christians) before him seem to have done okay
You know, before Christian became a dirty word
If you stick to the constitution things usually work out
