    I'll offer answers to your two questions, and then I would like to ask two questions.

    Answer to your first question:
    Ask the President and his IRS.

    Answer to your 2nd question:
    Because he's an evil businessman and will probably be led away in handcuffs during the GOP Convention.

    My two questions:
    Who was the first person that came to mind when Cruz was talking about "bringing jobs back to America", and "taking care of our Companies and businesses" during his victory speech in Wisconsin?
    Oh....I almost forgot, and "protecting our borders".

    ...^^^ awww, and you worked so hard on it, even though they were not coherent answers.

    ...and oh, are you "still waiting for the Trump trail to derail"?

    and while both Chump and the Bitch, sucked yesterday and understandingly slipped further down. They're still gasping like flopping fish for air, just like their supporters, who are pissed off now, taking it out already, on others....

    as far as thinking Chump was the first politician to talk about putting up walls, or dealing with immigration reform, geezus still beating rugs with brooms? - check your facts: 1980 Reagan and H.W. Bush on video, debating this issue. Not like illegal immigration is just now being talked about for the first time in history, give me a fkng break.... G.W. Bush enacted somewhat, but not enough support, rather tax dollars were appropriated. If you really want to talk 'Politics of stopping the flow', watch the Reagan/RFK 1967 Interview by pissed off, anti-war monarchists Brit Students, ... while both RFK, and Reagan, silence the fks, but now were talking war, quit a bit different thing, but still its do we let the North Vietcong in to run a Nation, kinda' like the guy wanting to build 50 foot Trumpian Towers, "the DMZ could of easily been considered yester-years "Wall"....

    Some act like putting UP a wall is necessary, while History and others have seen the need to tear DOWN other walls.
    ie (1st): The Iron Curtain and Berlin Wall, ie JFK's infamous speech: "Ich bin ein Berliner"; as well as Nixon flying behind "the red curtain" under total TSAR sealed lips, during a stay in Pakistan, unbeknownst to everyone.....JFK called for removal of the wall, and 'Check Point Charlie' showdown was not just for fun.....(don't tell me you can't compare), check how many Germans ran out of East Berlin, before the wall was built...

    Then ya' had Reagan calling on "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"....of course it was all for political posturing, as only Gorbachev could of given the order...yet Reagan called it, tear the wall down, not build one 50 feet high, and charge Mexico for its construction, and maintenance, (of which is a whole other issue), .... I've no doubt a better system should be put in place to stem the tides of illegals, you would be too if you lived in So. Cal the better of the last 46 yrs, but a Monster Wall isn't the answer....

    anyone can look these you tube videos up, I suggest one does, the one here who can't see straight because his boy, Chumpers, got his ass beat once again, ............ I see another Trend, called rats jump off of the boat, ie "supporters" who send real money, not those sitting in their Lazy Boyz, trying to start a new movement from those chairs, TV changer in one hand, a TV dinner in another, then the fkng laptops.....as if those Chumpet Chia Pet, hardliners are going to put their dollars where their mouth was........

    Want a diatribe, Ya' got it....now turn your horse around, and show us your real face....(then whine all the way back to the Lazy Boy and continue on, starting a eminence front for the Chumpian-Hillary Revolution)

    I'll second that.

    So George Will was reporting this morning that team Cruz looking at Nikki Haley or John Kasich as Veep....Marco Rubio as well.

    Interestingly, there are no rules for convention delegates regarding selection of VP. They can either select the recommended person from the Pres nominee, or go rogue.

    Cruz has ballots 2-4 to get things aligned.

    Wow Matt, you're really excited...lol (re: post 610)
    I'm aware of past issues and circumstances regarding illegal immigration and "walls".
    My apologies but you're not the only one who can read a few pages from a history book.

    And imo, the current situation is unique - and past/present wall building by foreign entities overseas isn't comparable.
    Never before has this country seen such a free flow of drugs from south of the border conducted by hardcore militaristic well armed criminal organizations AND the level of violent crime being committed by illegal aliens:
    http://www.breitbart.com/big-journa...counts-for-over-30-of-murders-in-some-states/

    And you want to lambast a potential Pres candidate (Trump) for wanting to build a wall when other's haven't gotten it done and HE hasn't even gotten a chance to do it?
    And he probably won't get the chance, thank you RNC.
    (more on that later)

    http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...blem-with-downplaying-immigrant-crime/399905/

    Well anyway, congratulations - you're on the same page as the POTUS in criticizing Trump for wanting to build a legitimate physical boundary in the face of this terrible unprecedented invasion.
    When you read the article, take notice of how The President is siding up with and doesn't mind drawing world leaders into the business of an American presidential campaign.
    I think Trump most definitely cares more about the safety and economic growth of the United States (so does Cruz) than world leaders AND Obama.
    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/275207-obama-hits-trump-on-border-wall-plan

    I wouldn't trade one Trump (or Cruz) for "all" of these world leaders and President Obama.
    Including those Socialist cheese eating surrender monkeys of Europe.

    Speaking of Cruz - he now is, and will be defined by Trump as the poster boy for the RNC establishment as he takes more and more of their money and is currently entrenched as their puppet.
    The game has changed (imo).
    He'll continue to play his part and Kasich will play the other end as they continue to do their jobs of trying to deny Trump reaching the necessary 1237 delegates. Neither one will finish within a couple/few hundred delegates of Trump before the Convention begins - that's where the robbery will be committed. lol......it's so obvious and the American people are going to smell the stench from miles away.

    I think that narrative is over blown. NY/DC GOP was pissed at him for the shutdown, which BTW was the only time GOP ever stood up to Obama. The horror of Trump is healing those past wounds. Ironic that that very same resolve previously scorned is now embraced.

    Cruz has out maneuvered Trump on the delegate wrangling that he could lock things up on the 2nd BALLOT, but I think he'll get 1237 on the 3rd or 4th.

    ...it goes deeper than just NY and DC...he's got quite a few enemies within the Republican party.

    ...Cruz may eventually get the nod but he's still gonna have to win a lot of folks over to his side come June.

    ...also, there's an outside chance it could end up being someone other than Trump or Cruz who wins the GOP ticket...just saying.
