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?

    Ried being crazy or not, liked or not, honest or not, nice or not is not the point.

    Ried got crap done because he was able to lead people by negotiation or arm twisting to get things done.

    Cruz cannot get anything done because he is not now, nor has ever been a leader.

    Your point having them on his show does not mean anything. His blatant partisan commentary is evidence of his partisanship.

    Also #NeverHillary. If she wins, it will be because of the people that vote for her. Trump is the male version of Hillary. He will destroy us.

    Thank you, I agree. And since our views have strong supporters on both sides of the issue, I think this is a great opportunity to analyze the issue in depth. I think we still have a bit of ground (not a lot) left to cover.

    Primaries are run by parties and parties alone by law. They operate on pluralities and turn them in to landslides. the two current methods is vote stealing by the winner take all method and super delegates.

    Absent winner take all which was a complaint lodged and the dumbos ignored their own rules on the subject but absent those votes Cruz would have been on top. Doesn't matter

    The system has been in place for 240 years no one cares enough to change it.

    General election is majority only if a plurality results goes to Congress. Same deal no one in 240 years has worked to change it.

    Then they are NO LEADER.

    The vote was 54. Cruz, Rubio and Graham, would have made 57, and if they were any kind of leader, and even half the politician Harry Reed is, they would have managed the 3 remaining vote.

    Okay. I'll give you mine. In my mind, conservatives and liberals are night and day.

    A conservative is both a social and a fiscal conservative. A conservative believes in the principles of self-determination, personal responsibility, personal choice and freedom, self-defense, and in allowing all men to speak their minds about all issues (democracy). A conservative believes in not spending more than one takes in - either personally or in government. A conservative believes in limited government, enumerated powers, and checks and balances. A conservative believes in the importance of the traditional family and marriage. A conservative believes in universal law - and a universal lawgiver. Conservatives consider tomorrow.

    In one sentence, a conservative believes that actions have consequences not of their choosing.

    A liberal is both a social and a fiscal liberal. A liberal believes in the the principle of might-makes-right, deception-for-gain, living-off-others (both slavery and mooching), and seeks power. A liberal believes that he (or she) is their own god and that rules only apply to others. A liberal believes in social classes and feudalism - of the "haves" and the "have-nots" and of leveraging that system to their own gain because they are inherently part of the class of "haves". A liberal eschews family (because of the necessary sacrifices) instead opting to justify consensual sex, abortion, etc. A liberal has no problem taking out a loan he/she never intends to pay back. Liberals' only concern is for today.

    In one sentence, a liberal believes that consequences are malleable things.

    I don't have one nor a good one of a liberal. There are too many to pick and choose unless it's by the moment and situation. To the point and this is the point the terminology is both stupid and useless. What do they really mean. Dollars to Doughnuts both words are used to replace just two. Enemy Domestic a perjorative of the opposition

    Don't ask me? I asked the question to begin with and asking me is not giving me an answer?

    The original one said those in power entrenched themselves built a sort of fort and made changes slowly if at all using any and all means to forestall change. Purpose stay in power. They were conservative in their approach and atttude.

    Liberals want change and they want it all and they want it now for the pragmatic needs of the moment. hang the cost and the side effects. Mostlythey want to be the one's in power so they use any means to get that status.

    And then one day the change places. The rest is just slanted propaganda and meaningless crap. A catch all to describe anyone who doesn't lockstep without question vote my way.

    And most evident in Lakoff's writings it keeps him from having to describe the enemy has Constitutional Republic supporters and those folk don't have to call Lakoffs suck progs or Communmists or Nazis'

    So everything is 'nice' swept under the carpet but 'nice.'

    Lots of nice guesses from approved sources and some original thinking but in the end the purpose is to depict life as a reality show aka a lie.

    So when I hear conservative and liberal I think of the used car sales man saaying pre owned or read the sign in the store that says 99.99 and right away i know they think i'm stupid. most are.

    Actually, this has been much more civil than other similar debates I've had, and I sincerely appreciate that. CBJ has managed to stay on topic and interjected great points. He(?) hasn't resorted to name-calling or personal attacks like others on this forum. I salute him(?) for this!

    We probably won't agree at the end of the day. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. My belief is that ultimately the truth/reality of the matter will be known.

    What have I demonstrated time and time again that you ignore time and time again: that before one may argue discrimination, one MUST prove equality of circumstance. You can't do that with a comparison of heterosexuality to homosexuality and you can't do it in a comparison of the homosexual movement and the black rights movement and I've demonstrated precisely why time and time again. The only arguments you have made have been based on the false premises of equality. In a logical debate, premises are key - if they do not hold, neither does any other argument which relies on them.

    Objectivism recognizes reality. Reality includes both similarities AND differences and sidelines neither in its considerations. Rights absolutely are important, but even you admitted marriage is not a right. Equal treatment is also important, but only in equivalent circumstances - a condition I have shown does not exist.

    Kind of goes to show why this country is in such a sad state! Many people know little if anything about the Constitution and don't care to know consequently, they attack those who espouse something they don't understand. Cruz fell into that category. Instead, people go for the "bling" of flashy wealth and populist soundbite politics.

    All they want to do is cling to soundbites and mesmerized by personalities with little regard to the substance and realities of politics in this country.

    Presidential elections are now almost exclusively about the "attractiveness" of Fric & Frac with little about the meaning and substance of what they say other than one is not the other.

    We think that we are given choices however, in reality, the choices we are given only ensure the outcome wanted by an overarching oligarchy that is truly what runs our world.

    This tried and true approach is similar to the approach wise parents take when they give their young children choices however the choices are always the one's that the parents can live with.

    The same can be said about our choices we have between R's and D's. We "seem" to have clear-cut choices however when push comes to shove, we end up with exactly what these shadowy overlords want and that is an never-ending slide towards a totalitarian society ruled by a NWO under the auspices of Socialism and the tagline "Law and Order".

    This seems to be very similar if you ask me to the Fabian-esque world envisioned by George Orwell and as attempted in Nazis Germany and Stalinist Russia! Gramsci, Allinsky and Hegel - Perfect together!

    Anyone who does not "hate", or more properly P C , "dislike", what has happened to America under the Obama regime, and will certainly worsen under the Clinton mess, will do everything possible to ensure the Clinton success. Stopping Trump is the first step. Rock on and just remember there was an option... not ideal, but at least an attempt to stop the lefties from total takeover. No doubt in my mind that the Republicans are to blame for allowing this to happen,, all it takes for evil to win is for enough good people to do nothing.

    Do me a favor, I have never said that I "hated" Trump, as a matter of fact, I probably will hold my nose and vote for him come November but, that doesn't mean I love him or hate him, it just means that I am again forced to choose between two totally wrong candidates for this office (my opinion!).

    The only thing that I have been doing is pointing out the obvious based upon reality and not wishful thinking. I have decided that I will not! put on any rose colored glasses for this election specifically.

    So there you have it. I am NOT a hater, but that doesn't mean that I have to hide my head in the sand either! For what its worth!

    I'm not blindly defending the arrogant and stupid Republican s who allowed Obama to happen and ruin what little good there left, but I am reminding all those who so blithely hate DT to remember that they will be responsible for subjecting America to 8 more years of Obama PC government dictatorship by executive order and decree through Obama's surrogate Hillary, and I can't imagine what hell will come after that. Hide your money, your family and your possessions because they will be gone. We are very near a socialist-commie takeover of our government and once the identity politics is completely cemented, we are lost. Obama and Hillary will eventually fade into oblivion like Al Gore and Dan Quayle, but their evil disciples who vote for them will multiply like vermin.

    Sure....whatever you say....Cruz was always out for himself.

    Where was Cruz, Rubio and Graham on the Audit the Fed vote? MISSING!!!.

    Cruz made an oath when he took office, and like Rubio and Graham, never bother showing up for work to vote on the bills that they claim were so important. Cruz never wanted Audit the Fed to go through because if his and his wife's DIRECT financial debt to Goldman Sachs and several other banks.

    I think you need to really open your eyes and look at the actual actions of Cruz and his duplicitous actions, and total failure as a Senator.

    Do and think as you wish,,,just remember that those who hate Trump will be remembered for bringing America 8 more years of Obama through his evil Hillary and God only knows what after that. I'm not blindly defending the stupid Republicans who allowed Obama to take over through their own sloth and ignorance,. I'm just weighing the lesser of 2 evils we face.

    Vetted by The Blaze. That is laughable. I provided you the link to the formal list of board members and management. Also if you take the time to look at the FORMAL official stock filings, The Blaze (Glenn Beck) is full of crap. I do not Trust ANY 100% partisan person, especially when they obviously have serious mental issues.

    Now you are changing the subject to Deutsche Bank. Again your credibility is totally gone. You apparently do not do your own research and only listen to and take the word of the people who tickle your ears.

    Your claim Putin runs the bank, They are in Russia, Government runs most everything...they are communist. Your point is totally invalid, coupled with your complete loss of credibility now.

    She is a true socialist and an extremist and a fascist and a statist/corporatist. The Republicans killed themselve sometime ago. They are now your Right Wing of your left. End of conversation
