Exactly! We must search for proof of their "core beliefs"! That is the proof in the pudding.

It is quite clear that Trump doesn't have any!!!

Yep, and I am surprised at anyone who can't see thru some of this stuff. I mean, a good rule of thumb to follow here would be to think that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Cruz had the advantage of being from a faith based family and he hasn't taken some of his heritage into his professional life. Can't get any better than that to me.

I also believe heritage and formative years analysis is critical to knowing the "core" of anyone.

Just look no further than Obama to see what makes him tick! It all emanates from his formative years.

There may be some among us who don't think religion is all that important, but that would be naive IMHO. It is the essence of who we are and how we think and reason. Look back at Reagan! It was his strong faith in God that made him the man he was!!!

Exactly! We can't rely on what any of the candidates are saying as they are trying to win the election. We must research their past to be able to form a positive opinion before we cast our votes. The Donald might be saying all the right things but are these things part of his core beliefs? We've only to go back to stands he has taken in the past to try to figure out just what he is all about. From my summation, Trump has come to a realization of where this country is headed under current influences but who is going to trust him based on his past of support for these types of people? Not I.

That was the point of being blunt. It's obvious what Trump's values consist of, and they aren't Conservative by any stretch of the immagination.
I'm just glad these aren't the final days before the election. Trump will fade away like he always does, as proven by his record in quietly walking away from deals he can't capitalize on.

The fundraising numbers from last Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising quarter for 2016 GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%
were so good combined with one week in the previous quarter, he has actually raised more "hard money" than former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a new memo from his campaign manager Jeff Roe obtained exclusively by Breitbart News reveals.

"With the release of each presidential campaign's second quarter fundraising and expenditure data, it is clear the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%
for President campaign is well positioned against the other candidates," the Roe memo reads. "Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)96%
raised more 'hard money' than any other Republican in the race, including Jeb Bush; he has built a fundraising infrastructure that will sustain the campaign for the long-term; and he has shown the ability raise money all across the country, receiving donations in nearly half the all the zip codes in America."

Whom would you consider made the more presidential statement?

Scott Walker: Trump 'Needs to Apologize'

Donald Trump should apologize for his comments on Saturday disparaging Arizona Sen. John McCain as "not a war hero," says Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, one of Trump's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination.

"At a minimum he needs to apologize," Walker told "NBC Nightly News" on Sunday, reiterating an assertion he made on the campaign trail in Iowa a day earlier. He told NBC that Trump's supporters should push the real estate tycoon to say sorry.

Cruz: Not Going 'Into the Gutter' to Attack Trump

Unlike his fellow Republican presidential candidates, Senator Ted Cruz refused to repudiate Donald Trump for disparaging Sen. John McCain's war record on Saturday.

"They're running their own campaigns, they can make their decisions, I'm not going to go into the gutter with personal attacks impugning character," Cruz said in an interview with Bloomberg Politics at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, late Saturday afternoon.

Cruz made the right response.

He took the path less trodden. That is a sign of character and integrity.

He cannot be condemned for that statement and he won't be compromised. Great man!

Yep, he placed himself above the fray of the leftist dog and pony show, and refuses to become a part of a designed distraction.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wants to force the Senate to vote on defunding Planned Parenthood this week, as a second undercover video unleashes a new storm of scrutiny of the organization.

Cruz's office said Tuesday that he plans to file an amendment on the highway bill that would eliminate all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, in addition to an amendment that would fully repeal ObamaCare.

Good. He still has my driving support as our next President because he's 180-degrees diametrically opposite the evil ideologies behind 'planned murderhood', government-managed healthcare.

I like Fiorina and Trump, but both have a dash of Cruz envy when I hear them speak. They may not be aware of it. -Or I may be wrong.

Great vid. Cruz started tough, and he's getting tougher as the campaign winds-along. If he was going to stumble the way the MSM wants him to stumble, he would've done it long long ago. He simply outsmarts the critics.

Bringing-forth the shouters, then forcing them to speak... is a brilliant move. They desperately reach to complete a coherent sentence, which is exactly how their MSM puppeteers trained them as to how Cruz would be. That's why we've seen less-and-less of Cruz heckling-vids since 2010-ish.
