Who should be the next president?

Trump never tried to get into art school so it's all good. he's not Hitler

They waited far too long to team up to try and take out Trump. If the dozen plus Republican candidates did this from the get go he probably would've bowed out by now due to having bad numbers or be running as an independent currently.

Ted Cruz picked Carly Fiorina as his running mate, even though it's a bit early for this.

Has anyone else ever announced their running mate before they won their parties nomination?

[indianasmith]

That's a good question, I'm not really sure.

I love Trumps spokesperson Katrina Pearson

Is it me, or is there MS Paint in the background?

I think he just torpedoed his campaign: didn't a lot of people lose their jobs at HP when she took over?

definitely a charisma gap with Cruz but his platform is very strong

[Allhallowsday]

I'm all in for Cruz now.  Anything to stop the Trump Train! LOL

It's confirmed.  You will support an ideologue.  TRUMP is amusing, and who knows?  But cruz is terrifying.   

So was Eva Braun.

Are you kidding?  Even JOHN BOEHNER considers TED CRUZ the antichrist.

People will misconstrue that you like this turd, just because of your dispassionate honesty.

Trump terrifies me far more than Cruz, to be honest.
He strikes me as a hotheaded sociopath who could easily start World War 3.  Plus, frankly, his personal morals fill me with revulsion.
Is Cruz an ideologue?  Yes, but they are mostly ideas I agree with.  He's also ferociously smart and generally consistent.  He  knows the Constitution and knows how government works.  He was not my first choice, but he's the one man left standing who MIGHT can stop Donald Trump, whom I despise with the white-hot fury of a hundred suns.

Oddly, World War 3 has already started... It started on 9/11... It's just that we are too blind to noticed this.

Sorry but Cruz is not going to do it. What he's doing now is trying to screw over the people in election by ALLOWING THE ESTABLISHMENT TO NOMINATE A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ON THE 2ND OR 3RD VOTE.

Read my lips--- "There is no guarantee that those delegate that Cruz is winning going to vote for him. If there was the Establishment wouldn't be talking about adding a new presidential candidate in the convention and trying to explain the process. I do think the Establishment want's Cruz to think he's going to have a good chance on the 2nd/3rd vote so he can screw over Trump."

SADLY, CRUZ IS TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THIS!

I know I shouldn't bother to say this, it makes no difference, no one will care, it'll sound like background static, sometimes I envy the happily uninformed---just being blunt there---but whatever may be true of others running for office, Ted Cruz is an evil human being. I'm not critiquing his politics, I am saying HE is evil.

kind of a tired cliche coming from the author of 5 novels. Is this the best the Trump opposition has to offer? If so their fate is sealed

I don't think Ted Cruz is evil. I do think Cruz is an opportunist. Being an opportunist is not evil but he is making some mistakes and I do hope he learn from them.

Mistake 1 - Directing his speech to a very narrow number of voters. Ted Cruz took in the account that focus his talking points to those that didn't vote for Mitt Romney. I think it's a mistake because his messages come off as a righteous preacher... which brings mistake 2...

Mistake 2 - The apology for Ben Carson. Character counts. When Ted Cruz won his first state he came out as a righteous preacher... then day's later it came out that he and his supporters started to tell the voters that Carson is going to drop out. I do not think there was anything wrong with him or his supporters saying that Carson was going to drop out - but I do think him apologies for the action hurt his character.

Mistake 3 - The Anti-Trump vote. Really??? So instead of taking about substance we are now talking about blocking Trump (which the message reads: Blocking the Anti-Establishment voters). Therefore the anti-establishment voters are looking at Ted Cruz as a spoiler to a contestant convention. Which brings to mistake number 4...

Mistake 4 - Not connecting the dots. The Trump voters and the Cruz voters are both focused on a similar entity. They are the anti-establishment voter. The reason why Trump voters like Trump because Trump can fight dirty! What Cruz should had done is not try to reason with the Trump voters or make the Trump voters sound like half-wits. What Cruz should had done is say how similar he is to Trump. Then he shows the similarities between him and Trump. (His little speech on how similar Trump and Hillary is an epic fail on his end)

Mistake 5 - Carly Fiorina. First we are still in primary and it's looking that Cruz can only win the nomination if there's a 2nd and 3rd vote and IF THE ESTABLISHMENT ALLOWS IT. The Vice President pick make Cruz delusional because he's not winning the primary election and that Carly had any weight. She was only given focus because it was believe she could assassinate Trump and she failed because it came out that she was an establishment player.

Now I am your fan.  Can't agree more.  TRUMP may be silly but that thingee is EVIL.
