Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has won a case in Pennsylvania's highest court that had challenged his eligibility to appear on the state's GOP primary ballot and serve as president. The state Supreme Court order Thursday upheld a lower-court judge's decision to dismiss the case.…

Ted Cruz

Am I missing something about Ted Cruz? The Texas senator seems to me to be the one true conservative left in the presidential race, and the most true conservative who was ever in it.…

[Ted Cruz] seemed very relaxed and affable. … His Trump joke about “which pedal to push” was a winner… All in all, a great appearance. …

Hours after … he said he thinks women who have abortions should be punished… Donald Trump has clarified his comments. … “If you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have to deal with it under the law,” Matthews said. Trump… asked, “Are you going to say, well wait, are you going to say put them in jail? Is that the punishment you’re talking about?” …Ultimately, Trump responded that the “answer is that there has to be some form of punishment, yeah.”

Later, however, the Trump campaign released the following statement:

…the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb.

Hmm. Seems like almost everything Trump said needs "clarifying" by him or his folks.

All three U.S. Republican candidates – Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Donald Trump, and Gov. John Kasich – have backed down from their “pledges” to support the party’s candidate at the general election, “regardless of who it is”.…

…Security and healthcare and education and housing and neighborhoods… Oh My!

See, this is the problem when a man running for President does not understand the role of the Federal Government. It’s also the problem when a Democrat is running for the Republican nomination. He tends to have trouble remembering that Republican voters don’t want the Federal Government involved in education, healthcare, housing and neighborhoods.…

…Donald Trump was personally to blame for the collapse of Trump University, claims the college’s top instructor.

James Harris tells Daily Mail Online in an exclusive interview that the leading Republican Presidential candidate exercised ‘bad judgment’ and hired the wrong people to teach at the controversial institution.

He claims he was cheated out of thousands of dollars in unpaid fees and that he plans to sue the billionaire to get it back.

Harris says that voters should not back Trump in the presidential election because he failed in real estate – the area he claims to be an expert in.…

Dennis Prager, Truth Revolt • Tue 2016 Mar 29, 10:37pm

I have said from the outset that I would vote for Donald Trump if he were chosen as the Republican nominee. I am contemptuous of much of what he does; I don't trust what he says, and I have no reason to believe that he actually holds conservative values. But, if Trump becomes the GOP nominee, he will be the only alternative to the left ruining America for another four years.…

…And now the New York Times has given us an unvarnished look at just how ill-prepared this tough guy is to deal with America’s place in the world and the threats that we face. Honestly, I read through this transcript and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of inarticulate words. He talked a lot. He just never said anything.… There are just too many examples of brazen ignorance, but let me share a few…

…It began in 1981. Trump bought a 14-story building on prime real estate facing New York City's Central Park.

His plan was to tear down the building and replace it with luxury condos. But first he needed a small band of rent-stabilized tenants out of there.

To succeed, Trump played rough, according to lawsuits filed by the tenants. Renters said he cut heat and hot water, and he imposed tough building rules. Trump even proposed sheltering homeless people in the building.

It went on for five years as Trump fought tenants, real estate lawyers, New York state regulators and city officials.…

Heidi Cruz, the wife of GOP presidential contender Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), deflected a threat by Donald Trump to “spill the beans” on her during a brief press conference in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

“Well, as you probably know by now, most of the things that Donald Trump says have no basis in reality,” Mrs. Cruz responded to a reporter’s question about Trump’s tweet.

“So we are not worried in the least and [we are] focusing on our campaign, and we are going to continue to do that,” she said.…

Hillary, Tense
Allen West • Mon 2016 Mar 21, 8:24pm

…here is what should easily disqualify Hillary Clinton from the candidacy of the presidency of the United States. Hillary Clinton abandoned Americans to die in Benghazi and then lied about it. She didn’t even have the courage of conviction to go on the Sunday shows and talk about what happened at the Special Mission Compound which was under the State Department. Why was the U.N. Ambassador sent out on those Sunday shows? And this is supposed to be the front runner for the Democrat Party? This is supposed to be a person that moms and dads, wives and husbands, children and grandchildren are to trust their loved ones to protect when deploying them into harm’s way?…

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) — the organization labeled a terrorist organization in the United Arab Emirates — is calling on 2016 Republican presidential candidate Sen.

Establishment Republicans are looking to retired senator Tom Coburn or retired Texas governor Rick Perry as possible third-party options if they can’t stop Donald Trump at a brokered convention in Cleveland.…

As much of a RINO as Coburn can be, I would hope he won't put up with this. Nor Perry. But in this crazy year? Who knows? Maybe they want Hillary, after all.

Heidi Cruz, the wife of GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations [CFR] Task Force of the North American Community.… Cruz co-authored… "Building a North American Community.”… The report calls for ending US sovereignty and merging the US with Canada and Mexico.… for the “elimination of most controls” on the borders between US and Canada and the US and Mexico.… for a Marxist style sharing of wealth and resources to even out the standard of living in Mexico, America, and Canada.… for a massive North American Development Bank… for a massive North American bureaucracy that would manage land and resource in all three nations.… for a North American wide environmental bureaucracy.… for a bureaucracy to oversea the development of energy resources. It evens calls for a North American wide bureaucracy to manage tax policies.…

I did not download the original report (PDF), and cannot say how true the above analysis is, nor what part Cruz actually had in it. I pass it along FWIW.

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner called Republican presidential candidate and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “Lucifer”.… “If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above. They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee…"

If anyone would know about the devil, it's Obama's diabolical pal Boehner.
