Ted Cruz does not endorse Trump Based on Principles

Aside from the issues and facts that Mark presents; what about the constitutional values we expect our presidents, our presidential candidates and our representatives to pledge unswerving dedication to...their fortunes, their most sacred honor or their lives to. Isn't that much more important than the "Party"?

I have to laugh even though it's a bit sicking, they booed when Cruz said: "Vote your conscience" "Vote for the candidate you trust and a candidate that will adhere to the constitution.
Kind of makes one think. By the way...that pledge?...was discarded March 29th by the Don himself...

We find ourselves here in these times because we haven't adhered to the constitution...have we not?

    Trump kept the dying Republican Party alive this election. If he loses the election now, we will have Hillary for 8 years and then a true socialist

    Had something to do as an acronym about taxes. Taxed Enough Already. It was a set up by the Dumbos to get votes for certain of their members Joey what's her name from Iowa was one. Went to one of their shindigs in Florida and it reeked of GOP and I remember Pat Masterson what's his name raided the Populist Party and spent all their campaign funs ruining them. Wasn't the Demoncrats it was the GOP that went around stomping any form of revolt or change. One major reason I work to see them destroyed. The whole time they were in bed with the perverts of the left. Right after as a group that they started targeting certain campaigns with what turned out to be RINOs and and ever since they have been part and parcel of the left at best their right wing at worst lap dogs.

    I cringe at the name Tea Party since it relates to a group of business men who disguised themselves as Indians to conduct a criminal act against Britain that would result in violent retaliation. Cowardly.

    I'm not sure why the contemporary Tea Party chose the name (except maybe to emulate the name spoken by some irate stock broker on TV) but recent experience shows most I encountered have no sense of history and feed off of hype.

    This stuff was vetted out by the Blaze and Buck Sexton - an x CIA guy...No one is making things up here, these are the connections.
    No one is saying trump is complicit...just not a good judge of Advisors. The question to ask is why do his advisors have or had connections and investments in russia...seems to me, he himself, didn't do a very good job of vetting.

    You won't see putin listed at gazprom...he's an oligarch...they run everything.

    So that means what? Your section of the left wing is better than any other section. No lack of lack of principles there.

    You're have ruined your credibility. Please read who is on the board of directors of Alpha Bank.

    I do not see Putin listed in any management role either...

    I do not see any Richard Burt. Alpha Bank in Russia, of course the government runs the bank really? You are seriously reaching, even to the point of making things up. So sad.

    Speaking of the real Tea Party and not the one's that used them to get elected. If I had been screwed, blued and tatooed as they had happen I woul be loyal to anyone who could get me paybacks. Remember that when someone says I'm from the GOP and I'm here to help you.

    I can't have a comb over unless it 's from side to side even then considering the distance it has to cover to reach the overpoint it would most likely detach at the anchor point. Haven't been to the barber in decades. I have a Wahl or is it Wohl comes with a lot snap on stuff so one can experiment. The finale is no snapons, ( why does that remind me of John and Lorena Bobbit?) With no snap ons it perfectly prepares the entire head for even growth replenishment and the face for the Remington Razor. Getting rid of ZZ Top saved a lot of money in shampoo for a small investment in Hawaiian Tropic. I also found a new problem solver for getting carded at 7-11 or Oxxo. Hold on to your chair. Just For Men now comes in grey!!! Haven't been carded once since I began a regular regimen.

    That's Stylin' Hard for this week. Look for our guest article-er in just seven days.

    This is the decision point
    to laugh or not to laugh
    That is the question.

    Besides his reported dealings with mobsters...I know, I know...it's a NY values thing. But it's no secret trump is a fan of russia and putin-an x KGB kinda guy. putin is not a socialist nor a communist...he is an Oligarch ( rule by a small group of creatures - usually the worst of creatures.)

    Next, trumps trusted advisers: Paul Manafort (sp) was an adviser to the pres of Ukraine...you know, the guy that was removed...he's still a fan of putin.

    Carter Page, trumps foreign adviser is a major investor of Gazprom, which is run by putin.

    Richard Burt (sp) is on the board of directors of Alpha Bank (russia's bank of America).

    Upon advice of these creatures trump requested the GOP ease it's stance on russia and it's ambitions.

    Now, it doesn't appear that trump is aware of the corrupt influence of his advising creatures but you also must realize that putin and his adviser, Alexander Dugan wants to create chaos by influencing elections all over the world. He wants a weak Europe and America; he, like the isis creatures, wants to collapse the West and to create his own version of the New World Order.

    Now, do you still think trump has great taste in advisers...he doesn't appear to be as smart as you believe...he is vulnerable in his ignorance.

    Things did get bad enough. By my definition and it's the only one that counts. Bad enough that this is being termed wierdest election in history. The firewalls put in to guide the masses are failing. the true wierdos are runnig from brush fire arroyo floods trying to figure out where their system went. Where? Your in a revolution that's where. that should be called a counter revoloution. Things are going to get worse too.

    I'm going to partly disagree and agree. Egoism or the satisfaction of self is an individual thing. In that regard i am 100% greedy. Were I President I would lust after earning accolades for upholding the part of my oath of office that says, "to the best of my abilty' thus the Virtue of Selfishness does apply.

    Oboo me on the other hand is an egotist. He cares nothing about doing the best he can unless this is his best in which case he should never have been elected. Then you would be saying he got elected not by virtue of ability but by virtue of shoe polish.

    He wants a legacy that goes far beyond his abilty and is egotistical enough to demand it with no evidence of any quality of accomplishment.

    Your point though isd valid. One should be blind to self interest and telescopic in the public interest while never forgetting the Prez is one member of the public. That's part of 'best of my abilities.'

    Hillary stated this week she and Bill had retired heavily in debt so much she tried to steal the nation's china - but forgot a few thingsl. Book Deals, Speech deals etc. were just around the corner. Then too thereare the hidden assets.

    Yes on GOP being Democrats and no on definitions of conservative. But it's certainly part although it's one of hundreds of definitions. Worse than definitions of liberals. ValleyGirl Air heads sums them up nicely although it's sitl lnot correct. They use replacement terms and definitions. don't use their terms they will win if iyou do.

    but your next paragraph is exactly correct ending with there are not any Constiutionalist to choose and I don't believe they are allowed. Progressive instead of liberal was exactly correct.
