I’m solidly behind Cruz. I think right now he is the best candidate, strongly pro-life that has a chance of winning and can beat Hillary.
Plus he is consistently pro-life, pro-family.

Kasich beats her more certainly in the polls, whatever they are worth. He has more and better experience and isn’t a hard-shelled ideologue. Nor is he disliked by his own party and the other party as well. Think what one will, the next president will at least have to get along with his/her own party. Cruz doesn’t.

Methinks you proved your point.
 
Not to be simplistic, but I think we all need to accept that there will be times when the GOP nominates a right-winger, and other times when the GOP nominates someone more moderate.

I will not be able to accept it until the GOP nominates a Democrat! Come to think of it, that may not be far off.

I prefer Cruz to Kasich he most share my positions and values, however I would take Kasich 100 times over Donald Trump.

The polls aren’t worth much for the simple reason that Kasich has only won a single primary in his home state – and that not by much. There is no way he beats Clinton/Sanders.

I’m not sure Cruz is disliked by the party, only by the power hungry elitists like Mitch McConnell and former Speaker John Boehner.

I don’t know who can’t stand Cruz and who can’t. I do know Lindsay Graham can’t stand him, but supports him over Trump.

I agree, though, there is no possible way Cruz could beat Sanders or Clinton. Either Democrat would win by a landslide.

Right, he can’t win the election without first getting the nomination. The polls in question are hypothetical.
 
How adorable cruz is!

“Look, I dislike Obama’s policies more, but Donald is a unique individual,” Cruz said.

“I will say, I was watching the early part of the show, and **if I were in my car getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I’m not confident which pedal I’d push,” **Cruz said, jokingly.
Sounds just like his buddy Glenn Beck who fancies doing something to trump with a knife.
