see my post in the cruz thread. The Cons ution is bad law, because it's so vague, arguable, open to interpretation.
There are serious questions about Cruz's eligibility to even run. He may not be able to fill in as POTUS in an emergency if he were VP. That's one of the main things to judge a VP candidate on.

I think so. Cruz has covered his bases by not insulting Trump, and he'll hopefully bring the far right/conservative votes. Trump will draw the moderates, independents and disenfranchised Dems - providing the widest range.
Ummm... Trump is winning thanks to the far right (non-evangelicals though).
I guess I should have said the religious right. I tend to see the religious right as the furthest right (fiscally, politically and SOCIALLY - abortion, gays, etc). I guess what you call the far right (Trump followers), I see as moderate socially. I am evangelical but as far as voting for a president, imo someone like Cruz is too "religious" to work the way the country is. I feel that Trump would be more persuasive, able to work with others more than Cruz.
Sooner or later he will speak his mind on bringing back internment camps for the asian community until we figure out what is going on with China.
Because, frankly (shrug/pucker) we dont know/
Donald Trump Talks at a 4th-Grade Level. Maybe That’s Why the Fox News Audience Loves Him
Trump isn’t the cause, just the symptom. The deeper cause is a strain of anti-intellectualism that runs through the roots of American culture. And while this strain is found on both sides of the political spectrum (see some liberals on vaccines and chemtrails), it’s mostly concentrated among religious conservatives on the political right. For those who espouse anti-intellectualism, conspiracy theories have the same clout as legitimate science, the opinions of non-experts are just as credible as those of the experts, and ideology takes precedence over the cold hard facts.
The US has fostered a culture of anti-intellectualism more than “most other Western countries.” While traveling through Europe and the UK for extended periods of time, I’ve often been quite envious of how respectful other countries are toward those with knowledge in the fields of science and the humanities.
Not only is the U.S. unique for its love affair with anti-intellectualism, but this romantic relationship appears to have grown stronger over the past few decades. A primary reason for this is no doubt the huge influence that conservative media have had on American culture, such as Fox News, which is currently the most trusted news network in the country.
there are to date at least seven academic studies that have found that Fox News’ viewership cons utes the most misinformed audience out there.
the most dangerous consequence of Fox News is that it discourages that most important form of rigorous curiosity called critical thinking. If people want a single phenomenon to blame for the gradual decline of the American empire, direct your wagging finger at the devaluation of critical thinking skills.
Stephen Colbert once declared, “reality has a well-known liberal bias.”
there’s a causal link between “analytical thinking” and religious disbelief. Perhaps this is why the Republican Party of Texas literally wrote into its 2012 platform that, “We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs [that] have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs.”
“political conservatism may be a … consequence of low-effort thought,” meaning that, “when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases.”
multiple studies have reported that liberals (and atheists) have higher average IQs than conservatives. One study even found that low childhood IQ predicts conservative and racist beliefs later in life.
, Trump’s support base consists of the least educated Americans.
And it fits with the observation that the more outrageous, harebrained, foolish, and asinine Trump’s claims — from John McCain not being a “war hero” to shutting down parts of the Internet to violating the Geneva Convention by killing terrorists’ families to temporarily keeping Muslims out of America — the more Trump’s poll numbers seem to rise.
Holding beliefs that are properly tethered to reality via the best available evidence doesn’t matter much to the army of quasi-fascist conservatives who’ve been hypnotized by Trump’s shallow charisma.
etc, etc, etc

Donald Trump Vs. The ‘Son Of A B****’ Microphone Man
“By the way, I don’t like this mic. Whoever the bought this mic system, don’t pay the son of a that put it in,” Trump said, as the crowd applauded “I’ll tell you, these people.
This mic is terrible — stupid mic keeps popping! Do you hear that, George? Don’t pay him — don’t pay him! You know, I believe in paying — but when somebody does a bad job, like this stupid mic, you shouldn’t pay the bas .”
As the crowd roared, Trump continued: “Terrible, terrible. It’s true. And you gotta be tough with your people, ’cause they’ll pay. They don’t care. They’ll pay. So we’re not gonna pay. I guarantee, I’m not paying for this mic!”

I guess Mrs. Bush must have some super personality - I doubt he married her for her looks. That's as flattering a pic of Jeb as it is unflattering of Mrs. Bush - she has really skinny legs - shouldn't wear black leggings - a white skirt would be better.
that's cold.
I heard she's crazy good in the sack.
yep. Can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
Your entire worldview is based on hate for people you think don't deserve what they have. Always was. You tell yourself that you are innately superior, and that the "system" is keeping you down. It's the nature of losers that they are unable to see why others win.
Keep telling yourself that the superior people continually wind up at the bottom of the dunghill.
you're full of . GFY
Donny T plans may sue Krazy Kruz over his right to be Pres.
