Regarding Cruz, he is as unsavoury as Trump, if not more so:

Re: US Election 2016

Some interesting facts and background here for those of us who don't usually pay much attention to what's going on over there:

Quote:
Americans are generally known for having a positive outlook on life, but with the countdown for November's presidential election now well under way, polls show voters are angry. This may explain the success of non-mainstream candidates such as Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders. But what is fuelling the frustration?

Well you did answer for me

As for Cruz he's likely to keep his interference to internal issuse unlike Trump who's stupid enough to truly believe that the USA under his guidance can force the world to follow his edicts. As I don't live there nor ever wish to even visit there then anyone but Trump is preferable.

All Republicans are the same, but with Trump for me it is better the Devil you know.

I answered a question but I didn't re-write your post

I visit there on a regular basis, mainly the west coast, and from the people I talk to, neither of these two front runners are "preferable". I haven't looked yet in detail at how Rubio differs policy-wise from Cruz but I am guessing he is significantly more mainstream. Let's hope so ..

As a business man he's already tried to sway the law in this country relating to his investments, golf course and windfarms, can you imagine how much pressure he'll try as president? I'd rather we have an opportunity to work with the USA and not be forced to work for them.

That's before all his hate speech came to the front of his policies.

Re: US Election 2016

Trump is anything but your typical republican, in fact he's been accused of not being a republican at all (for good reasons).

Most of the people else on the stage are professional politicians, they come out with ******** but it has to be fairly consistent ******** in order to continue their careers. Trump is a free agent, he can say anything with no obligation to be consistent to it in his future life - and he evidently has.

One argument is that since he is so free he is the perfect candidate to dismantle the corrupting lobbying systems that businessmen use to pay politicians. But of course that's all predicated on him actually genuinely wanting to do that.

Well if the Yanks can elect a film star (Regan) as President than anything is possible in la la La Land.

Would you actually want to live through a nuclear war? Having watched Threads and The Day After Tomorrow I wouldn't.

Re: US Election 2016

Trump has been expected to win New Hampshire for a while. I don't think last night changed anything except expect Jeb Bush in the race for now.

Re: US Election 2016

This adds the contest: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/us-...witter-desktop

The most Conservative judge on the Supreme Court has died. It's likely his replacement will be nominated by whomever wins in November. Republicans will stall any nomination until then.
