Donald Trump speaks to the white Independents that voted Democrat for years because we thought their pro-Union ties and "common man" leanings would cause them to enact policy to stop the powers from giving our wealth to China.. That never happened. CRUZ EMBODIES THE REPUBLICANS WHO THOUGHT QUARTERLY PROFITS SHOULD, IN FACT, SUPERSEDE THE LONG TERM INTERESTS OF AMERICA.

Donald Trump speaks to those tired with clueless to reality lifelong politicians who put ideology above an honest perspective on America's issues. CRUZ REPRESENTS THE PROFESSIONAL FAKE IDEOLOGUE, WHO THOUGHT THAT ANY COMPROMISE WAS TERRIBLE.

Donald Trump represents and actual human being. Cruz does not.


Cruz is what broke Washington over the last 15 years, and the media WANTS Republicans to be what Cruz is. That seems to be the narrative..

The Bush's and the Cruz's are the Republican party of the last 15 years.. But they didn't speak to their bases like they thought, at all, they only spoke to those that absolutely could not vote Democrat. Republicans have come off as absolute idiots for years, and have earned most of their Daily Show spots. It's been sad. Well, now Democrats have jumped left, and I could EASILY help organize a show like the Daily Show to make fun of the D agenda.. So the R party, and the D party are both on the outs with a majority of Americans.. The media will PRETEND Trump needs old establishment Republicans, because the powers that own CNN probably want that, but Trump doesn't need it. Trump doesn't need Cruz. Cruz endorsing Trump makes it harder for me to vote for Trump. Independents like me decide elections.

A Cruz endorsement symbolically unites a fractured GOP behind Trump. You're right it doesn't achieve much else but that's an important ingredient

There are no Republicans voting for Hillary and the BLM agenda. None. There are Independents on the fence.

Cruz does nothing for Trump. The GOP resistance is just the plutocrat vote to keep the same ol' anti-America economic policy that benefits the super-wealthy short term. They disgust me.
 
I don't really see much practical difference between Cruz and Trump as far as policy goes.

Trump is defiant; he will stand up to the Republican ideologue agenda if he feels like it, I believe.. I've never heard Cruz mention shipping jobs to China being an idiotic thing to do.. Trump mentions that.

They disgust you but they still get the same vote as everyone else
 
"Lock her up" is the new "USA" chant.

Which means it's AWESOME.

So he pays empty lip service to stuff like trade agreements and outsourcing, meanwhile he's running on the same worthless trickle down horseshit as Cruz. I think you're a little too easily impressed.

He addresses the problem. I'm 95% sure it's smoke, but I'll vote on the 5% it isn't. He mentions currency manipulation, and the fact that we have been FOOLS in trade. It means something; just the fact that it is said.
 
The endorsement is related to the #nevertrump movement.
The delegates attempted to throw a coup at the RNC to get Cruz elected and when that failed, Cruz finally decided to endorse Trump.
 
You guys realize the establishment Republicans (bug business Republicans) fucking hated Cruz right?

If Trump wasn't running he would be enemy number 1 in the primaries.

His endorsement is to get the evangelicalsame.

He tried to shut down TTP over import-export bank.....
 
Laura Ingram started out pretty bad but what a crescendo. Excellent. Would hit.

To be fair to Amerikuracana is hard to keep track of everyone who hates Cruz.
