lol Donald Trump is calling a fraud charge on Cruz now.

And I'm still unclear how Cruz is running for the general election anyway, both his parents were born in Canada...he didn't even have dual citizenship.

But . . . but . . . 
Trump shouldn't be electable.  Idjits might make it happen, but he shouldn't be.  And if Cruz, the slimeball, really isn't electable either, then . . . Rubio just might get the nomination.   And that boy is scary.

A shame in a way.  He was the one republicunt who said something different from the rest of the fools on occasion.  He should be a democrat.

He'd have to find a new state.....lol.  I have to ask though, from the article above..

Quote:It’s been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House
..how would he know what it's like to run a principled campaign....?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you post a link, isn't it considered proper netiquette to at least post a brief description of what you want us to click on?

Libertarians aren't really comfortable in the GOP or on the Dems. Which also makes them virtually unelectable.

Nor should they be.

Libertarianism is like communism.  Both look good on paper but when confronted with reality both aren't worth shit.

Face is entirely sufficient. The only one having a stronger impact on my gag reflexes might be Ted Cruz. Going by looks alone. Doesn't even have to say a word.

You've got to wonder about the real percentage of Americans the dozen or so Rep candidates are fighting over.

I think that they're fighting over an ever-increasing minority because its hard to find a major voting block that they haven't totally alienated.

In my opinion, at this point its just a matter of how much they're going to lose by because I don't see independents going for Cruz or Rubio.

If Jeb Bush picks up....maybe?!?...but that's unlikely to happen.

I'm actually thinking the rest of this election might be very stress-free and very amusing to watch.  I honestly don't understand how Repubs can stand themselves right now...their whole party is a global embarrassment.
