The BattleCruzer Ted Cruz vs. the Gold plated Battleship Donald Trump.

This should be fun.

Maybe if Mark Furhman endorses Donald Drumpf, people will wake up. Take one for the team, America. Nominate Cruz, then step aside and let a Democrat take the win. We'll let you win in 2020, OK?

i have not understood clearly why GOP does not like Trump ? the hair style ?   they should be more clear about what they do not like about him    GOP is destinated to become an elitist party and so they could rule the country only in absence of democracy

Ted Cruz looks like a guy who would marry a woman who looks like his mom.
