A long-time political insider just made a bombshell announcement about conservative Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who is running for President.
This Republican operative, who has worked on 9 different presidential cycles, couldn’t keep it quiet any longer after being in talks with key leaders of Cruz’s and Senator Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) campaigns.
The insider is Roger Stone. He once worked for Donald Trump, and passed along his report to a popular radio host that Cruz used a high-priced attorney to confidentially request that Rubio’s team promise Cruz a Supreme Court appointment in exchange for Cruz exciting the race. This is in addition to recent reports that the candidates’ wives have been in contact, discussing why someone dropping out is essential.
This is unprecedented, but Cruz has to be well aware that the political establishment is lining up behind Rubio. Fox News has a pro-Rubio tilt, and the powerful Koch brothers just sent a number of their top operatives to Team Rubio in hopes of defeating Trump during a contentious convention fight.
Cruz has been a bold conservative voice in the United States Senate who has been willing to filibuster Obamacare and take on his own party. But while he’s a constitutional scholar with solid principles, it’s clear that after his team messed with Dr. Ben Carson, he is also willing to play dirty tricks.
However, those tricks haven’t changed Trump’s nearly insurmountable lead, and Cruz doesn’t want to face even more legal battles about his former dual-citizenship with Canada. Cruz, who is a former Supreme Court law clerk, may see a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court as the perfect exit strategy!
As Roger Stone once noted about Cruz, he is the ultimate Nixonian politician:
Vladimir Lenin said, “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.”
I can’t think of a better description of Ted Cruz’s relationship with the DC-Wall Street Establishment – Cruz being the scoundrel of course. Cruz’s claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” […]
Despite his ability to lie with a straight face (sadly Nixonian) on his support for amnesty and TPP, he got nailed by Senator Marco Rubio on the debate. Acting like a prick in the U.S. Senate was the core of Ted’s disciplined effort to bury his old school ties and reinvent himself as a modern-day Jesse Helms and supposed Conservative outsider. It’s a ruse.
It’s clear that something dramatic has to happen this week, with 12 primary elections happening on Super Tuesday. Without deals like this, nothing can stop the Trump Train.
What do you think about Ted Cruz allegedly offering to drop out of the race? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us!
I think stay in or leave.. the outcome will be the same..Cruz is showing signs of actually losing his mind to me..he is talking like he is reading a Lincoln speech.. very odd
This seems like Click bait to me. Oh Raphael needs to get the hell out. That is for sure. If he will is up in the air. He is too much of an unhinged narcissist to do it this quickly. I will have to see more on this from other news services before I believe it.
Go!
Leave!
Don’t let the door….
p.s.
“political insider” is crap
BOMBSHELL: Political Insider lays egg!
This article reads like some kid in underwear ground it out in his parents’ basement.
Example: “it’s clear that after his team messed with Dr. Ben Carson”
1. Childish grammar (“messed with“?)
2. Assumes things not known. Just how did anything that Cruz’s campaign do actually harmed Dr. Carson? If people at Iowa caucuses hear Cruz people say they heard that Dr. Carson was quitting the race, would they necessarily change their vote? Wouldn’t the Carson people have something to say about that? So, in the very unlikely event someone actually changed their vote on the basis of rumors, what makes people so certain that the changed vote went to Cruz?
3. Combined delegates won by Trump and Cruz together to date is 545. Remainder of delegates won to date for all other candidates is 150. So Trump and Cruz, the two most despised candidates of the insider/RINO GOP “leadership” have amassed well more than three times the number of every other GOP candidate to date.
4. What makes anyone with a brain actually fall for the notion that, should Cruz drop out, all of Cruz’s delegates would jump to the GOP establishment candidate, Marco Rubio, who has done more in the past few days to harm his own campaign than anything Trump could do.
5. The heir to the establishmnt GOP “favorite” role, is behaving as a young teenager (with apologies to many young teenagers). Gee, perhaps Rubio is the infantile kid who wrote this ridiculous article.
6. Does anyone actually believe that Cruz would not have considered how difficult it might be to obtain Senate confirmation to his nomination to fill Salia’s seat? If Democrats win back the Senate, they will not hesitate to pull the obscene stunts they pulled when they voted down Bork, who would have been just as much a giant on the Supreme Court as was Scalia.
Political Insider needs to filter this kind of trash from their website. Or people will not waste their time at this website.
This is insulting my intelligence. So that everyone is clear, the intent of “leaking” (i.e. make it up and throw it out there) this prior to super-Tuesday is to get a bunch of people who were otherwise going to vote for Cruz int he poll to bail on him and vote for someone else.
Oh, and you meant to say “exiting” and you wrote “exciting.” Spell-check much? Edit much? Write content much?
Bye Felicia
Not gonna happen….
Ok you guys win,, I will unsubscribe from your mail list.
Why in the name of God is any one suggesting that Cruz hmight drop out in exchange for a seat on the Supreme court. Wisful thinking . The person who should drop out is the Pathologic liar- Marco Rubio. Cruz one on one with Trump beats Trump by 15-20 points. Rubio is being supported by Establishment RINO Republicans means Rubio has sold out to the Establishment in excahnge for their Support. Rubio is acting as a spoiler to make sure that no one gets enough delegates to win the nomination outright thus forcing a brokered convention where Rubio would be picked by the Establishment to be the Nominee.
What a stupid “article”. Are there any facts being reported here? I don’t see any. Ted Cruz has every intention of winning this race. Rubio is the boy senator who should drop out, ASAP!
The author of this column (Kosar) is an unknown to me, so I don’t know his politics. However, it is possible that the posting of “information” regarding the likely termination of Ted Cruz’s campaign can ONLY hurt his candidacy, by disheartening Cruz’s supporters. Taken on top of that the generally negative comments concerning Cruz by “Kosar”, I can only assume that this a political hit piece motivated by one of the other candidate’s political operations or a less-than-objective supporter of either Senator Rubio or Mr. Trump. In short, I wouldn’t put to much credence in the voracity of the substance of this post.
Cruz for all his rhetoric about being an outsider to attempt to appease the rest of the citizenry, Has proven he is a dirty politician. ie: circulating that Ben Carson was out so vote for Cruz, Dirty politicians are not who we want in the White House or the Supreme Court, that would include Hillary, I don’t understand her appeal to the dolts that support her is she lies so much I think she believes them and also because she considers herself as an elitist, is not subject to the law as ordinary citizens are. If you want more Obama style politics for 4-or 8 years then vote for her, you will get what you deserve. If you vote for Rubio you will be voting in a ist year Senator (Obama) with no grasp of what this country needs. Every talking head I have listened to gives him a pass, but his speech pattern is so fast he could be reciting the recipe for pancakes and you would not know the difference. The people in this country including me, say it is time to stop politics as usual, because as usual has gotten us into the mess the country is in. Trump is not a long term politician, he is learning as it goes. but he talks straight, and I believe him when he says Mexico will pay for the wall. If he keeps even half of his promises to reverse the Obama legislative pen.
He does have to twist some state arms to get major producers back to this country. The taxes and operating rules against big business is why they are going out of country. Aren’t you sick and tied of calling a customer service line that takes 10 minutes to play their filtering games and you finally get to a live person, whose English is so horrible you have actually hung up the phone, well I have because that kind of customer service is at the same level of grade F for both houses of congress, and F grade for the Supreme court that recently changed language in a suit they were hearing, thus 9 judges made legislation from the bench. Chief Justice you should hand in your resignation.
So with a failing Supreme Court, a failing Congress (both houses) and a long time failed President all add up to an F grade for the past 12 years or so. That is exactly why Trump has his appeal and followers, He won’t give homage to a ruler like Obama did, He will stand toe to toe with Putin and nail down the deal.
What a sneak, underhanded, shady character. Crazed Cruz should just go home! Throw the Towel to Trump and call it a day! Oh yeah… he should apologize to Trump!
This piece of “news” is crap. And to quote some idiot that’s saying Cruz is some kind of Nixonian politician is despicable. I heard him this morning on Glenn Beck and Glenn pointedly asked him if, for the good of the country, would he drop out if there is a significant difference in his and Rubio’s delegate count after today. Without saying he would drop out, he said he and his team would definitely look at everything and determine the better way to do. But…it also sounds like Ted has a better chance of getting delegates today than Marco does. Why oh why are we just now hearing other scuttlebutt about Trump? I’ve heard more negative about him the past 2-3 days than throughout the whole campaign. Unfortunately his followers probably didn’t hear…
Whoever let this come to public view needs to be fired!!! This story is a hit piece and lie.
LIES, ALL LIES! NOW, VOTING MACHINES IN TEXAS ARE CHANGING VOTES FOR TRUMP INTO VOTES FOR RUBIO! THE ESTABLISHMENT REPUBS WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO KEEP TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. (SEE ALEX JONES PRISON PLANET AND DRUDGE REPORT) I VOTED FOR CRUZ AS I THINK HE’S THE MOST GROWN UP OF THE BUNCH AND DEFINITELY FULLY SUPPORTS CONSTITUION. BUT SOME WOULD RATHER SUPPORT THE ANCHOR BABY RUBIO, TO SOMEONE WHO DESERVES THE NOMINATION.
INFOWARS is not a source you should be reporting on. You should be ashamed of yourselves for posting this garbage.
Better than Scopes that’s for sure……
Cruz making a deal with the boy sodomite for a place on the SCOTUS? It is understandable that the Republican establishment prefers an open borders pretend conservative still in the closet sodomite to someone like Trump, whom they cannot control. But such a deal will expose Cruz as a false lying “conservative”, just what Trump has been calling him.
What a crock, calling Marco a sodomite. Can’t you keep nastiness to yourself when he’s a good family man? Good grief…
Where is the attribution, the name of the author of this article?
The long knives are out for Cruz, that’s for sure.
Crap like this further cements my conviction to vote for Trump.
Why would Cruz drop out for the benefit of Rubio? Rubio hasn’t won a single contest any where nor is he expected too any time soon. There’s no reason to tie your wagon to a proven loser. Rubio can promise Cruz the World, he’s got ZERO chance of delivering.
It wwould be terrible if Ted dropped out. He is by far the best candidate.
I was born in Belfast Ireland in 1956,I hold duel citizenship. My mother an American citizen was on vacation with her sisters when she went into labor. My parents family both of Irish heritage were here long before there was an Ellis Island. My family wore both the blue and the gray in the civil war and most of the men in my family served our country proudly. I also served in the U.S. Navy and am damn proud to be an American of Irish heritage. Stop bad mouthing Ted Cruz, he’s a good American, and we need more men like him in this country.Remember the 11th commandment,and may God bless our nation.
This is a plain lie. I don’t believe it, especially right before a vote! It has to be that someone is trying to divert his votes. Please don’t listen. After this, I will not read this Political Insider any more. I can’t believe that they would print this.
Keeping your head buried in the sand wont change a thing…..Cruz has proven himself to be a phony pony who will stoop to whatever level it takes to garner a vote….
Cruz has ZERO reason to tie his wagon to a losing pony. However, I have learned that “The Political Insider” is not a serious political source. Closet Rubio supporters, sure. Worthy of considering credible, not so much.
Cruz hasn’t lied and it’s too bad you haven’t checked into the accusations a little deeper than what Trump said…or others who believe him. Cruz is one of the most honorable men to have run for president in quite some time. I guess America is just not ready for decency in the White House.
If this is true and not payback from Ben Carson, then the establishment picked the wrong one I think. I think Ted would be better choice than sweaty Marco. That is unless there is something to the eligibility stuff. But I think either way Trump will easily handle either one of them.
I say this is a hit piece. This guy has worked for Trump in the past. If there was anyone that Trump could pick to drop out it would be Cruz. If that happened Trump couldnt contain his hair from dancing. Trump can beat Rubio one on one but not Cruz.
More hypocritical actions from the Trump people.
But mark my words, we will see Trump out there denying he knew anything about this with statements like Roger doesn’t even work for me. Even though he will probably state that he heard about this article just to get it some attention.
Think about it, Cruz as the Senate’s golden boy for the supreme court? Oh yeh, that makes sense. Just like the Senate will be holding Cruz appreciation day next week. These people affliliated with Trump must be like Trump as they love and rely on the uneducated voter……remember Nevada?
The source is Roger Stone…who once worked for Trump. You think maybe he still is?
Curious that this news comes out on Super Tuesday. Sounds like someone is attempting to do to Cruz what Cruz people did to Ben Carson. Why are both of these “conservatives” so tightly connected to the Bushes? I don’t know who to believe at this point.
Crus probably realizes that the suits filed against him in Court because he is not a natural born citizen, judgements will be returned against him !!!
Ted Cruz is showing contempt for our Constitution by running for the office of president
These political hacks don’t stop to realize or maybe they do that it is not Trump they are trying to defeat, it is “We the People”, the American Citizens and America itself, and we will be the true losers if they do not let us have an Hour estate voting session and give us the President t that We choose for ourselves and I personally hope that Trump is Elected President! But it is our choice as Citizens not the hacks choice!
After today’s super blowout…both Cruz and Rubio should drop out. Neither of them even qualifies for the office as neither meets the Constitutional requirements of natural born citizen. But no one in the Republican establishment is going to say doodly squat because they didn’t fight it with Obama, who definitely does not qualify on the same grounds.
It’s not just time to make America great again; it’s time we take back our country! TRUMP 2016!
Cruz’ departure is long overdue; he is NOT qualified per Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Further, as a United States Senator and a self-anointed constitutional scholar, he had to have been aware of his disqualifying shortcomings. And still more, Early on, Cruz solicited me for money; I offered him $1.000 if he would simply effect a citizens arrest of Obama and with the Cruz experience before SCOTUS, get Obama tried for one of the two treasonous acts he has blatantly committed. HE is an egomaniacal coward to boot! Dr. Thomas E. Davis, Colonel, USA (Ret).

I don’t think Cruz would just drop out unless he knew that the nomination would go to Rubio. More sneaking around in dirty politics. I wonder if Cruz gives his delegates to Rubio if that is allowed. But then who would vote for Rubio, the immature party boy from Cuba? He has proven that he is unworthy of being president.
Ted Cruz knows that he is ineligible to be in office. I don’t know why he would go to these lengths to obtain a seat on our Supreme Court, but if I were America …(as a whole), I would beat the crap out of both of them.
Neither are able to hold office according to our present Constitution. They are pushing this to make our Constitution invalid by making the office of President something that anyone can slip in and out of.
A seat on the Supreme Court is a lifetime deal. Cruz wants to secure his income and benefits and that is all.
Rubio is only a tool of very powerful forces. AMERICA BEWARE!
Cruz Mother was a citizen and from what I gather from this 1790 article the word fathers born was changed to citizens and therefore that would mean(mother or father)
Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795
Although Congress alone cannot change the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, given the number of Framers who then went on to serve in Congress, laws passed by the early sessions of Congress are often looked to as evidence of the Framers’ intent. The Naturalization Act of 1790 stated that “the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”[40] This act was repealed by the Naturalization Act of 1795, which removed the characterization of such children as “natural born,” stating that “the children of citizens of the United States, born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, shall be considered as citizens of the United States” while retaining the same residency restrictions as the 1790 act.[40]

At least he is exciting the race and not exiting it:
Cruz used a high-priced attorney to confidentially request that Rubio’s team promise Cruz a Supreme Court appointment in exchange for Cruz exciting the race.
Sen. Cruz, being the Constitutional Scholar he claims to be, just might make a good replacement for Justice Scalia. What’s more important is that one more illegitimate candidate would be out of the race for the Presidency; the first was Bobby Jindal.
TRUMP/WEST 2016/2020
SMH…You say that Bobby Jindal wasn’t eligible to run for president? Wow…there are some crazy, mixed up, wannabe lawyers on here today. He was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I think that makes him a citizen, yes??
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary! IF Trump’s goal was to defeat Hillary then WHY didn’t he run as a democrat? Trump is a liar and fraud. Don’t be fooled by this liberal impostor. Enjoy a Hillary presidency if Trump becomes the nominee.
Please just go you are a disgrace don’t even know what the truth is!
You say you are a Christion but you don’t
act like it!
I’m sick of the GOP and the corrupt tactics they are doing trying to destroy Donald Trump!! If Trump does not get the nomination due to GOP disgusting, as well as stupid, tricks…I will leave the Republican party forever. I have been very active and on the board of my Republican Women Club for several years. But I’ll be GONE from the party. TRUMP 2016!!!

Why would Ted Cruz risk it??? there aren’t any guarantees with any politician now a days as they all lie, look at all the ones that got voted in the Congress and Senate none of them have done what they promised
More Skullduggery from the Establishment RINOS to somehow defeat or make it more difficult for Trump to attain his goal of being the next president. It is not TRUMP who is doing the voting and so those party pundits whose performances or lack thereof CAUSED the Trump windfall should accept that his rise and their downfall is nothing but their own fault. So privileged are they and so far above we poor peasants in the proletariat that they see themselves as not subject to the laws they IMPOSE on us. Well, we don’t thinks so and when November comes, there will be major changes and many of those establishment eunuchs in BOTH parties who have failed us miserably will be routed by neophyte candidates, far more conservative than leftists and perhaps THEN we can try to restore the republic, throw cartels out of here, deport every illegal, surveille Every Muslim 24/7/365, secure our borders , treat our Veterans with the respect this administration never has had for them and end all immigration for about 25 years unless it is invitational with the condition of either limited appointment or mandatory taking of American citizenship. How about a bit of America for American Citizens and those who defend this soil, FOR A CHANGE WE, THE PEOPLE, CAN LIVE WITH?
One day after Cruz was spreading lies and scurrilously unfounded accusations about Trump, he is getting served a taste of his own medicine.
P.S. It wasn’t that long ago Cruz’s team was spreading the same lie about Carson.
If this Canadian-America isn’t fit to serve as President, then he is definitely unfit for the Supreme Court of the land. Besides, anchor baby Marco Rubella doesn’t have a chance of winning the nomination, because Mr. Steamroller Trump is going to flatten him and the rest of the RINO Party. Thank God for Mr. Donald J. Trump the next 45th President of the United States of America!
From what I gather form reading this 1790 article there was a change from fathers to born to citizens and (that could be mother or father) then they are citizens!Naturalization Acts of 1790 and 1795

As a 100% supporter of Trump, this is still dirty politics from a man who has a sordid history of fraudulent political lies. Roger Stone’s entire adult life has been as an unrepentant liar.

All I needed to do was get down to the third sentence and the name Roger Stone and I realized that Trump’s tracks were all over this. No question candidates have to drop out, but not before the voting in today’s primaries.
I have a mighty hard time believing this. I would like to hear it from Cruz himself.
A big joke is what we have here, anyone but the Hilldabeast works for me
I don’t believe this at all. It is another lie paid by Trump or Soro. Prove it with facts instead of rhetoric.
More dirty tricks! No wonder the country is in trouble! People like you have no controlling moral standard. Cruz and Carson are the only two people with moral principles in this race. Your article just shows that deception is the name of the game for you. Thankfully, Cruz already has my vote.
It like the rest of the established Republican’ts. Got to be something in it for ME! Yeah, Cruz wants a lifetime paycheck from taxpayers just like the rest of them. Trump may still be third party and if so I will vote for him.

Many votes for Cruz and Rubio seem to be more of a protest against Trump getting the nomination than for either of them; the fact is, conservatives don’t have a real choice in this election, other than defeating the socialist like Hillary and Bernie!
Let the American people decide who will be our leader, not a bunch of stuffy political RINO,s. The pundits and the media can also kiss off.
My condolences to the good people of Texas who did not vote for this moron but now get him back.
This is another political dirty trick…..by the kids in the presidential peanut gallery! Roger Stone is just another of these leaches that hang out thinking garbage up like this for money! Go out and get a real job for a change! Woe to the befuddled masses that believe this swill!
With all the dirty tricks in this campaign, aided and abetted by the press, main stream and not so main stream, it is apparent that we the people will just have to hold our noses when we vote. Then just hope for the best. All segments of the press deserve to lose their exalted free status as guaranteed by the first amendment. Not doing your intended job folks!
He should have never run BUT Supreme Court? Really Ted, after this joke of a campaign where you use your kids and other’s children to smear opponents in violent attack
ads..PLEASE go to some banana republic that deserves you and your style.

When it is over and we look back with 20-20 vision some will be happy and some will be saying I told you so, until then, my 2 cents worth.. Up front I don’t like Trump and I also do not like career politicians. They may have been honest when they first applied for the job of politician to make a better America, that is good. How long is it after they are a politician that they start shifting positions and quit saying as JFK did, “Not what your country can do for you but, what you can do for your country” but swap it around for what your country can do for you. How many politicians have sold out? Look at their tax returns today vs what they were when they ran for office, most all politicians (research it) are now millionairs, and they made it on their paycheck, right? They are beholden to those EXTRA benefits and want to become career politicians and will do most anything to maintain that, they give lip service to what America wants and blames the negative result to some one else, in other words, no matter what they say, when the rubber hits the road, they lost the road map, who sold them the road map????? If you don’t believe me, just look at what Cruz and Rubio and others have been saying and what Congress has been doing. First the House said they could no do anything because of the Senate but, wait unless the Republicans take the Senate. Well, they did and still we only get lip service. I will give Cruz some credit he did fight the S.C. and win a few battles but he also has not double down with others and fought the Obama administration, it is still personal gain from politics. All that said, Trump has made his millions by what his loud mouth and brain have accomplished. Yes, he does know how to win. He is NOT my favorite person and yes, he has friends that are Democrats and yes he has given money to Democrats and left wing associations but, what has that accomplished, he KNOWS how to get what he wants and does it. Factor that into the job of running America as a business. He has his millions and using the same principle, he can stomp on some feet and make good deals for America: get jobs back from overseas, give some jobs to some freeloaders, get rid of illegals and give those jobs to legal Americans, with more jobs in America we will have the tax money to lower the tax rate, build a strong America and a strong military, to defend our borders physically and against internal take over via illegals. He has the stones to do it. The question remains, will he do it, I pray he will. Will any other candidates do it, seriously doubt it, the rubber has been hitting the road to long and we as Americans are tired of it. Even though I personally don’t like Trump, I think he is the only one with the ability to do it, sure I may be wrong but, I’m tired of the worn out tires that have been hitting the road, let’s get a new set of tires that have some traction and have a chance of beating the RINOs and left wing liberals (most Democrats) and make America strong again. I’m taking a chance with Trump, let us all pray that we are making the right decision.
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary!

I will not, I repeat, will not support or vote for Marco Rubio as it woukd be the same as voting for Hillary Clinton. Trump might not be any better, but I will not vote for Rubio.
Cruz has become a disappointment to the nation with his lies and dirty tricks. It’s too bad. At the start, he was a great candidate and my number one choice. Then Trump entered the race and Cruz became number two. An unstoppable team would be Trump/Cruz or vice versa. Then Cruz lost it and began to follow bad advice, eg the NY Values thing with Trump, his friend. Too bad…

CRUZ GET OUT NOW..so Boy Rubio can piss his pants again.
I believe this is a dirty trick of Stone!
If you want an establishment candidate, take your pick of either Rubio or Trump!
Ted Cruz is the only TRUE CONSERVATIVE according to Rush Limbaugh!
This is more gossip and hearsay! Cruz is man enough to announce himself if he drops out. I’m sick of all this gossip. It is just like the fraud voting that is going on. Who does he think he is to announce gossip like this? Is he trying to get a Rubio or Trump vote? Enough is enough!!!
Cruz can NOT be trusted! But, neither can Rubio! They are both guilty of saying whatever they believe the public wants to hear, but they will do whatever is politically expedient for themselves if they are elected President! They care about nobody but themselves!
What has Trump done for you to earn your support?
Ted Cruz has a long history of fighting for and defending the Constitution and our personal liberties. If it weren’t for Cruz standing alone the U.S. wouldn’t be a sovereign nation today. This nation would have lost it’s sovereignty eight years ago during the Bush presidency. Please read below and learn the truth about how he has fought for and defended the Constitution and our 1st and 2nd amendment rights.
Here are a few of the things Ted Cruz has done for this nation over the past decades.
Ted Cruz defended the very sovereignty of our nation in the Supreme Court.
Medellin v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491 (2008), is a United States Supreme Court decision. Ted Cruz defended the very sovereignty of the United States against overwhelming odds, opposing legal briefs from 90 foreign nations, the European Union, experts on the World Court, the American Bar Association, and one of the biggest law firms in the world that represented Jose Medellin. Ted Cruz was able to convince six out of eight members of the U. S. Supreme Court to vote in his favor even though it meant he had to stand against his friends and members of his own Republican Party (e.g., Pres. George W. Bush, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, and Paul Clement). The case of Medellin proved that the UN has no authority whatsoever to bind the United States and that no President – Republican or Democrat – has the Constitutional authority to subvert U.S. sovereignty.

Fortunately the right man was in the right place at the right time to prevail in the Medellin case. Just imagine the consequences if 0bama had the option to subvert the sovereignty of our nation via the UN and the world court when he became president. The U.S. dodged a huge bullet that most people are unaware of.

Ted Cruz defended our 2nd Amendment rights.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held in a 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to federal enclaves and protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. It was the first Supreme Court case to decide whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Ted Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Ted Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
———————————————-
Ted Cruz stood up for and defended our Veterans pro bono while in private practice.
Salazar v. Buono, 559 U.S. 700 (2010) was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States regarding the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Ted Cruz worked on the Mojave Desert Veteran’s Memorial case while in private practice. Ted Cruz worked on the case pro bono — unpaid — for four veterans’ groups that filed a friend of the court brief with the Supreme Court. The high court ruled 5-4 that the cross may stay but also sent the case back to a lower court. “The goal of avoiding governmental endorsement [of religion] does not require eradication of all religious symbols in the public realm,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for a plurality of his colleagues. http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2012/04/salazar-v-buono.html
———————————————-
Ted Cruz defended our religious freedom.
Van Orden v. Perry, 545 U.S. 677 (2005), was a United States Supreme Court case involving whether a display of the Ten Commandments on a monument given to the government at the Texas State Capitol in Austin violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Ted Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5–4.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Orden_v._Perry
Where would America be today if 8 years ago we lost not only our sovereignty but also our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights as well? Give that some very serious thought please.
Ted Cruz has earned and deserves your respect and support.
Ted Cruz 2016!
This article is completely ridiculous, and the only reason that Cruz has been sullied so much is because the establishment is PETRIFIED of him in the White House. I am an Iowan, and I caucused, and neither Cruz nor his campaign was pulling dirty tricks. Cruz is not responsible for every thing that someone else says or does – even if they say they are doing so at his behest. I have spoken to my co-workers, and neither me nor any of them saw or heard anything at our caucuses from Cruz representatives or anyone else’s telling us that Carson was out of the race. From what I know this was another case of people making a mountain out of a molehill, and while it is too bad that any one said anything that has made Cruz look bad, it was a CNN news report that made people think Carson was out of the race. While I agree that Cruz would be an excellent addition to the Supreme Court, I appreciate what he has done in the Senate – being willing to stand up for “we the people” and fight, even when people tell him that there is no use in doing it and that he can’t win. Isn’t that what being an American is all about – standing up for what is right, even in the face of “insurmountable” opposition!?! Think American Revolution, the Alamo, etc… You know Cruz is a true conservative when the Establishment would rather have Trump than Cruz! Don’t fall for what the media – ANY media – tells you. Think it through and try to find out from people who were really there.
I think Rubio should be the one to drop out, not Cruz but I do think that Cruz would make an excellent Supreme Court Judge or a President of the United States. .
Jurban, I think your Turban cutting off your circulation! Deep breaths..inhale/exhale,repeat.
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary! IF Trump’s goal was to defeat Hillary then WHY didn’t he run as a democrat? Trump is a liar and fraud. Don’t be fooled by this liberal impostor. Enjoy a Hillary presidency if Trump becomes the nominee.
He must have taken some “smart pills”. However, the GOP no doubt influenced him so they could focus on RUBIO, the hispanic that wants open borders & has a brain like the muslim POS. They don’t want TRUMP because he will do a great job on not letting the dirty politicians that take $$$ for doing what the payer wants, have their way. He will clean house & that is why all politicians are scared.
Another Dirty POS Roger Stone CRUZ ain’t going anywhere Stone is a LIAR just like Hillary!!
There is good chance that trump will wrap up the nomination.It is time for both Cruz and Rubio to drop out of the race.
Maybe you should let the people decide who should drop out.
I really doubt cruz is going to drop out, this is probably like the Ben Carson jab
I think that Ted Cruz is great and I do not believe half of what you say. That being said, Ted Cruz would be the absolute perfect choice for the Supreme Court as he is a strict Constitutionalist. I can not think of a better choice, period. Marco Rubio is the one who is pushing amnesty and is the one that is slick. Neither one are natural born citizens as define in the Constitution and the federalist papers which is why the Democrats say they are afraid of Rubio which is like Brer Rabbit in the old fable, “You can do anything but just don’t throw me in the Briar Patch.” He would be easy to disqualify which is the biggest hypocrisy, because Obama was in no way a “Natural Born Citizen”, because his father was not a citizen and I believe that he was born in Kenya because HE CANNOT PROVIDE A LEGAL UNFORGED BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
Anything is possible, Donald may even come clean about his duplicitous “deals”. But, I heard the whole interview on Breitbart On Sirius / Patriot this morning. Pure speculation. There must be a really good reason Mr Stone went on Breitbart instead of Wilkow. Every morning about 75- 90% of Breitbart is pro-Trump, anti-Rubio, anti-Cruz.
Whatever it takes.
The Grand Prize is not who wins the Republican Primaries. It is who wins the White House and who appoints the next 2,3, or maybe even 4 Supreme Court Justices.
Hillary in the White House for four or eight years and her appointments to the Supreme Court would chart a course for this country from which there will be no U-Turns, no course corrections.
Hillary can not be allowed to move back into The White House.
Rubio while he is less than my ideal candidate CAN defeat Hillary. He is the ONLY one who can defeat Hillary. THAT is the Grand Prize. Everything else is fluff and irrelevant.
YEP…..If Hillawitch moves into the WH, many more artifacts, furniture, pictures, dinnerware, will disappear just like before. Then the zipper bandit will have his pick of all the pages, etc. She is the idiot that will finish the ruin of our ONCE great USA. TRUMP IN 2016. No more dirty politicians that are only out to spend the tax payers money and cut off Soc.Sec. Our children & grandchildren will suffer for the people that are only voting for HC because shes female….which is debatable.
Roger Stone was a NIXON dirty-trickster. He’s back to his old BS and he’s got the right sideshow to bark for.
The Cruz campaign just contacted me this morning for a donation…hmmmm and he is contemplating dropping out? What gives. I had considered him until he continues to “dirt bag” Trump. Cruz I liked better then the gang of eight traitor, Rubio but still think TRUMP is the best person for the job folowed by Dr. Ben.
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary! If Trump’s goal was to defeat Hillary then WHY didn’t he run as a democrat? Trump is a liar and fraud. Don’t be fooled by this liberal impostor.
And if Trump wins the nomination – all Cruz’s manipulations will once again be for naught.
So they are saying Ted Cruz is making a dirty political deal to drop out of the race. At first I thought he was different. They are all alike …except Trump… he doesn’t need to make any deals to become President …. that is one thing I like about him. He is winning by a landslide and the people are behind him. But the crooked politicians are trying real hard to stop him. They need to give it up and start supporting the person that the PEOPLE want.
Wake up, Prissy. This website is Trump propaganda! Read the articles. And DEALS is all Trump knows. Cruz is going to win Texas – the biggest prize of all – today – he’s not going anywhere. Rubio won’t win 1 state out of the 12. Why do I waste my time. You are obviously a Trumpbot.
You just convicted him based on this story? I wouldn’t want you on my jury.
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary! If Trump’s goal was to defeat Hillary then WHY didn’t he run as a democrat? Trump is a liar and fraud. Don’t be fooled by this liberal imposter.
The Political Insider is pure garbage.
As President, Cruz would only be dangerous for 8 years, at most. As a SCOTUS justice he would be dangerous for much, much longer. Even his fellow Senators hate him, and with good reason. He is NOT A Christian; there is NOTHING Christ-like about him. He will NOT win this election and he knows it so he is trying to save face by saying he is pulling out before he loses. LET “JR.” GO! Good riddance to him and “Sr.” aka, “Bienvenido.” BIENVENIDO FOUGHT FOR CASTRO IN CUBA. SEND HIM BACK THERE, just like he wanted to send Obama, “back to Kenya.” Maybe Jr. will follow!
Just ’cause you own a Ford F-150 pickup truck doesn’t make you Texas strong. Get out of MY state.
You ever Been to TEXAS Libtard?????????????????????
Its funny all these comments people either like or dislike someone running for office. After tomorrows election the stage will pretty well be set. All the comments will be academic anyway. I predict Donald Trump by a landslide. It may not be what some want or what I want he has the balls to speak up and has the multitude on his side because of it. People are tired of the way this country has been run down and all the broken promises. The Obama promise of change has changed this country only for the worse. I guess tomorrow super Tuesday will tell the tale.
Trump is more hot air hope and change. He is a fraud and a liar. He will intentionally lose to his friend Hillary IF he becomes the nominee, as has been planned the whole time.
“But while he’s a constitutional scholar with solid principles”
the political insider just LOST all credibility in ONE sentence! Ya he MIGHT have solid principle but LYING to the public seems to be one of those principles! constitutional scholar?? really then he would KNOW he is NOT eligible to be PRESIDENT! at BEST he is a non-quota immigrant! A Natural Born Citizen will NEVER need a document to renounce his citizenship in another COUNTRY! http://goo.gl/jw4Vnt
This is a fake ass story.
Haven’t the US had enough trouble with a Kenyan that stole the office of the President, Now we have Ted Cruz doing the same thing, if we don’t stop this now we will end up having a Damn Russian running our country, This is why the founding fathers wrote the constitution, and now all these foreigners think that we are so stupid that anyone can come in and steal the office of the president because Obama has made this office so belittled that you can just about buy it at any Wal-Mart.

http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen/
Wow! “The FARSE is stong in this one”! Pure propaganda! Cruz is a fighter, not a quitter. And he has only BEGUN to fight. This is FAR from over.
An appointment would be the easy part .. Cruz would never be confirmed by his fellow Senators because most of them genuinely dislike him and he wouldn’t likely get even one democrat vote. He has spent his entire career making political enemies and that may work in a room full of hardcore, right wing, religious conservatives but confirmation hearings in the US Senate? Won’t happen.
I believe you reported earlier today that Kasich was dropping out. The only way Cruz will drop out is if he loses Texas. That won’t happen.
Roger Stone like Trump is full of excrement.
This article is complete crap. All lies. Cruz isn’t dropping out of the race and Rubio is far behind Cruz in the coming states. Conservatives are on to Rubio’s lies and are leaving him left and right to line up behind Cruz. This article is full of lies
Here’s the real gut stabber.
A recent article in the Harvard Law Review by Neal Katyal & Paul Clement argued that Ted Cruz is eligible to run for President as a “Natural Born Citizen” by reason of Blackstone’s commentaries on English Common Law. ( http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen/ ) Claim for the use of Blackstone is based on post Civil War case law for which all records, notes, journals and correspondences of the framers of the Constitution were ruled inadmissible by reason of there no longer being anyone sill alive who could personally attest to the veracity of those documents and despite the fact that those very record, etc. had been routinely used as references to derive the original intent and understanding of the Constitution (United States v. Wong Kim Ark). Calling this argument specious is utterly charitable. A full review of history shows the argument to be entirely without credibility, and therefore plainly dishonest. The proper reference is in the legal treatise “the Law of Nations,” written by Emerich de Vattel in 1758. In book one chapter 19, Section 212, but more on that in a moment. It was Blackstone’s commentaries that were used to justify the Tea Act of 1773 and the “Intolerable Acts” of 1774. It was in large part Blackstones Commentaries against which the colonists rebelled in the first place, so why would they use them in any part as a basis for the Constitution of their new nation? In fact, Mr. George Mason of Virginia, one of that state’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention, wrote in an argument for the adoption of the Constitution ;
“Though the king can make treaties, yet he cannot make a treaty contrary to the constitution of his country. Where did their constitution originate? It is founded on a number of maxims, which, by long time, are rendered sacred and inviolable. Where are there such maxims in the American Constitution? In that country, which we formerly called our mother country, they have had, for many centuries, certain fundamental maxims, which have secured their persons and properties, and prevented a dismemberment of their country. The common law, sir, has prevented the power of the crown from destroying the immunities of the people. We are placed in a still better condition — in a more favorable situation than perhaps any people ever were before. We have it in our power to secure our liberties and happiness on the most unshaken, firm, and permanent basis. We can establish what government we please. But by that paper we are consolidating the United States into one great government, and trusting to constructive security. You will find no such thing in the English government. The common law of England is not the common law of these states. I conceive, therefore, that there is nothing in that Constitution to hinder a dismemberment of the empire.”
In reading through the correspondence of the Framers of the Constitution & then reading the work of Vattel ( The Framers used section 212 of this book to define Natural Born Citizen http://www.constitution.org/vattel/vattel_01.htm ), it becomes apparent that neither Ted Cruz nor Marco Rubio are Natural Born Citizens. In his treatise on the application of Natural Law to the governing of nations, Vattel states that a child’s citizenship at birth is inhereited from the father only, because the mother’s citizenship is established under the then universally accepted doctrine of Coveture, by her marriage, and man & wife are regarded by the law as one person.
In the case of Marco Rubio, his autobiography, “An American Son: A Memoir”, Copyright June 19, 2012, provides all the evidence required in Chapter 3 on page 24 where he wrote;
“I was born on May 28, 1971. My sister, Veronica, was born the following year. My mother and father were starting over again as parents in the country they now called home.
“My parents had lived in America for nearly two decades. It was clear that Cuba had become a thoroughly totalitarian state, and would likely remain so for some time. They had endured many disappointments, and their lives would never be easy. But slowly and surely they made a better life for our family than they had had as children, or could have ever been possible for them in Cuba. Three of their children were born Americans. Mario had naturalized after returning from the army. And in 1975, they, too, became citizens of the United States.”
The political boundaries of nations are not a creation of Nature, and therefore have nothing to do with being a “Natural” Born Citizen, but it is Nature that determines the passing of traits from one generation to the next, and so it is the nationality of the parents which is Naturally passed to the child at the time of birth.
If an ineligible person is willing to perjure himself or herself when signing ballot applications, there is nothing in the law or the Constitution of the United States of America to prevent an ineligible person from running as a Candidate for President of the United States of America, nor is there anything that can prevent them from winning the election. There are, however, mechanisms that lawfully can and should prevent an ineligible person from becoming President, though in the case of Barack Obama, those mechanisms failed to be implemented and so did not function.
The first chance for disqualification after the popular election has taken place is in the Electoral College, in that the Electors are not legally bound to vote according to the outcome of the popular vote. So if the popular vote in a given state favors a candidate who is not a natural born citizen the Elector can still vote in favor of a different candidate who is eligible, without regard for number or percentage of the popular vote for that candidate.
If the electors vote in accordance with the popular vote, under the Constitution it is the duty of the Congress to rule on the eligibility of the candidates as the electoral votes are being counted and verified. If a winning candidate is found to be constitutionally disqualified, then that candidate’s Vice Presidential running mate is declared President, unless they are also disqualified.
In the final analysis, it was Congress who failed in their duty to the Nation and allowed an ineligible candidate to serve as President since 2008. This is a political matter, and the Federal courts have always contended that they have no jurisdiction to rule in political matters, so Donald Trump’s idea of suing Ted Cruz most likely will not work.
If, however, an ineligible candidate has signed any official document to place their name on the ballot in any state and has fraudulently declared on the document, under penalty of perjury, that they are eligible, then that state’s Solicitor/Attorney General can prosecute the charge of fraud.
Is it also possible that if an ineligible candidate is passed on by the members of Congress approving the electoral votes for that ineligible candidate, then they also might be prosecuted as accessories after the fact?

Vera your argument also literally doesn’t matter one ounce in a court of law.
The best we have to define “natural born citizen” outside of SCOTUS making a firm decision is the naturalization act of 1790 that was eventually repealed.
In this document it states “And the children of citizens of
the United States, that mayibe born beyond sea, or out of the limits of
the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided,
That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers
have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, That no
person heretofore proscribed by any state, shall be admitted a citizen as
aforesaid, except by an act of the legislature of the state in which such
person was proscribed”
Legally we can break this down, was Cruz born to a U.S. Citizen? Yes. Does this document clarify if both parents must be citizens? No. Has the SCOTUS ruled on the requirement of both parents being citizens for someone to be natural born? Yes, both parents do NOT have to be citizens. (Montana v. Kennedy dealing with an 1855 act of congress and the 1934 act the latter of which was not retroactive thus since Cruz was born after 1934 per SCOTUS he falls under “natural born citizen” as proven by Rogers v. Bellei)
So there is requirement 1. Check. Also ignoring a blatant ruling by a court we will move on.
2. The father must have resided in the U.S. for some time. Cruz’s father resided in the U.S. under a student visa which expired in 1961 and was then granted political asylum. By definition of “resided” this is also met as it does not specifically state “resided as a citizen” or anything to that effect that it required citizenship of the father.
Check 2, by legal definition, is met and thus he is a natural born citizen by this definition.
Now this law was later repealed which required other laws such as the 1855 and 1934 acts.
Either way those challenging Cruz realistically have no leg to stand on, you need to have a law specifically defining natural born which would exclude Cruz and it would have to work retroactively.
Also realistically you will only get support from most Americans if it grants citizenship to anyone born to 1 U.S. citizen abroad (only 1 parent has to be a citizen that is), who has never renounced their citizenship, had to go through a naturalization process of any kind and/or was born in the U.S.
Just a fact whether or not it is liked.
You could argue or discuss whether he should be considered or if the founding fathers would consider or want him to be considered natural born but that is neither here nor there since legally it wouldn’t matter. I mean if it did we also wouldn’t have to debate the 2nd amendment at all as they were pretty clear about that.
Listen to this lady, she explains Natural Born Citizen and Naturalized Citizen Explained. Natural Born Citizen and Naturalized Citizen Explainedhttps://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/category/natural-born-citizen/
This is a non story, No one is going to take credit for it, No one should bother to read it, Nor believe it. Cruz wants it so bad, He can taste it. He would and will be the last to get out at this point.
Dr. Carson will be the last to drop out, if he does at all, because he is the only one who was invited to run by common people, millions of whom still support his campaign. He is running for them & their children, not for himself.
This story is total BS. Just a dirty trick to give Foam Party Boy Rubio more delegates! I’ll vote for Sanders before I will vote for Rubio!
Neither Cruz nor Rubio are qualified to run for president. Neither are natural born citizens. Its time both of them get out.
https://youtu.be/Ca-sfq7l9VA What is a natural born citizen
Wow, you must be retarded. The facts are there and the majority of the judges in the U.S. agree that Ted Cruz IS eligible for president. Stop listening to Trump. He lies to all of his little sheep.
It doesn’t matter what any judges think, The constitution clearly states that you HAVE TO BE BORN AN AMERICAN to become President……
A citizen AT birth IS a natural born citizen. A very simple concept that only the very simple minded cannot comprehend.

IT’S A FAKE STORY PLANTED BY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. Just another reason Trump is not qualified to be President.
And you know this how? Where is your source for this?
Ouija board. Elliot used a ouija board to get that information.
Elliot…Like the one planted, by Cruz, that Carson had left the campaign?
Is Jeff Roe working for Trump now? This is Jeff’s style of dirty politics, but he was working for Ted Cruz as the Campaign Manager. Jeff’s whole business is built on his reputation as the dirtiest dirty trickster mony can buy, and selling out his own candidate the day before Super Tuesday would certainly build on that reputation.
I thought that Bernie Sanders was probably the one who started this. Or Hillary. Or Ben Carson.
OPen border pro
amnesty gang of 8 Rubio would be even worse than Cruz.
First of all, when a journalist lies in a story he writes, I can’t believe anything else he says. Rubio’s charge was that Cruz was in favor of legalization, not amnesty, and that is what was said on the video played by Megyn Kelley during the debate. Obviously you didn’t keep watching after the debate to see the The Kelley File where Megyn said that she had confirmed with Senator Chuck Shumer (D) that
Cruz DID NOT support legalization or amnesty and it was Cruz who stopped the Gang of 8 bill. The comments that Cruz made on the video that appeared to be Cruz supporting legalization were actually of Cruz debating Chuck Shumer who was out of sight in the video. Cruz was merely repeating democrat talking points back to Shumer rather than stating his point of view. Megyn said on her show after the debate that she had confirmed with the democrat senator that Cruz never supported amnesty or legalization and the reason the video was shown was to give Cruz the opportunity to explain his comments which he had already done repeatedly.
However, if you watch Newsmax, you’ll realize that Roger Stone is still in Trump’s back pocket.
I heard this a few days ago as merely a great idea and I like it. While I voted for Cruz for Senate and early-voted for Cruz last Wednesday, I think he’d be a fantastic CONSTITUTIONAL justice and I don’t see anything scoundrel about saving this country, now, from a Trump presidency and, later, from those liberal Obama appointees on the lower courts. He’d be a perfect choice for SCOTUS and if this is what it takes to join forces and beat Trump, I’m behind it 100%.
oh i hope this is true !!! please drop out no one is voting for him !!! trump !!!! all the way !! xoxo
It won’t work, because Rubio isn’t going to win.
It makes no sense to drop out. They can make a deal to pledge delegates later on. Rubio is the one who has completely changed into a Comedy routine. Who is going to vote for Rubio now? At least Trump has skills; you can overlook the insults. Rubio is just a first term senator who never did anything who has morphed into an hispanic Chris Rock. I don’t think I could vote for him.
this is a lie he is not dropping out
Well I didn’t want to see that Cruz is better then Rubio but this is the deal and all my friends for Trump and I want him to win. But there is so much money to stop him 75 million plus 25 million for Rubio. So he really has a fight on his hands. So if your going to vote for Trump you have to get all your friends to vote to. We the People have to win this.
Rubio Gay? https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=rubio%20gay
Instead of making a deal with Rubio, he’d be better off dealing with Trump as his VP pick!
I think they both lost any chance of that. The point of Trump is that he wants useful people. He’s not going to run with someone he doesnt like
this is bs
HORSE MANURE, TRUMP WILL BEAT THEM ALL, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY!!
he TRUMP train is rolling along.Better get on board before your left behind. toot toot
same people who offered carson money to drop out that he wouldn’t name….think they may have got to kasich too. this is great because trump will demolish little marco.
I don’t believe a single word of this garbage. Shame on you for publishing such trash!
This is the crap that MSNBC and Aljazeera would pull. I thought this was a conservative site. Not gonna listen this BS.
Easy choice there. Cruz for president is 8 years max. As supreme court judge, it’s a lifetime. I’ll take that!
Ted as a member of the SCOTUS for the rest of hie life!
HE double hockey sticks YEAH!
I third the emotion!
As far as Ted is concerned, I agree. He is a mole. His support of TPP is a red flag.
My vote is going to Rand Paul in the primary. In the General, I am leaning Trump but he has to be smarter about taking wins from the media when he is given the easy ones. Like simply disavowing David Duke. No freaking brainer. How could he be so stupid as to not just take the win and move on to the next question? Why does he have to get embroiled in these battles with a hostile media? Just take the damn win and move on to the next question. I have to question his ability to be President if he cannot just simply answer this easy win question correctly and clearly. To be fair, not a single reporter is going to ask HRC about the support that the DNC has received from the New Black Panther Party. But that is the way this plays out. Understand it and respond that way, just take the easy winnings and move on. Holy Crap, sometimes Donald is just too frustrating for words.
Thank the good Lord! Not that it matters if he drops out or not, Trump will mop the floor with Cruz and Rubio. He might be the biggest, boldest liar of them all.
This is just Yellow Journalism. What great assumptions you make to smear Cruz! This stinks. I’m dropping my subscription. 😛
See they are all looking to get an advancement one way or the other. I think Cruz would have a better chance than Rubio!!!
Funny, he asked me the same question.
That’s a shame because Cruz would make a great president!
Cruz is dirty, he will never make a good president he is still a true insider, and that is what we don’t want or need.
