    I am now going Cruz and Cruz period. trump is on record for a one payer health care program. I will not be a part of voting for someone who wants to get rid of oby care only to replace it with trump care. I may vote for rubio if he gets the nod, and of course Cruz, but I've ruled trump way out. It's a shame, trumps bad ass attitude wins votes and I think it could win a general election. As far as kasich and Carson, Carson also wants a federal health care program as does kasich.

    I liked both Cruz and Rubio to begin with. The more I listen to Cruz, though, the more I realize that he is just a Politician. I don't think that he can beat Hillary in the General Election.

    Rubio seemed like the young voice that we needed to break through all the garbage and be a Leader. Than he became the "broken record" 2 debates ago and showed that he is just another Politician too. If he can't stand up to someone like Christie, how is he going to stand up to the World?

    So it really boils down to Trump. He can be the one to beat Hillary. But then what? Can he deliver anything that he promises? Has he really moved far enough to the Right?

    Like I said, I don't see much promise in any of these Candidates. Obama has dug America into a very deep, very far Left hole that may be almost impossible to get out of now.

    So trumps "common sense" universal health care plan doesn't scare you?

    I've found it odd that in my short life every time a democrat president wants gun control all the republicans denounce it from the roof tops.
    I find it more odd that when a republican president takes power and wants the same gun control that it passes as common sense and needed.

    Now I'm finding it odd that everyone fought oboombya on obama care and denounced it from the roof tops.
    Now I'm finding it more odd that when an east coast liberal stamps an "R" next to its name and wants a health care system even more left wing then obama's that people are finding it to be "common sense" and will vote for it.

    Funny what a difference an "R" next to your name makes. My township had 5 officers on it that all had "R" next to their name. They put those "R"'s there to get elected and we soon found out that they should have had a "D". There was no spending that they didn't want. There was no tax hike they didn't like. There was no expansion of government programs or services that they didn't vote for.

    You all, and I, will vote for who we want. I ask you all though, is having an "R" next to the name of your candidate good enough? Will an "R" assure Supreme Court Justices that defend the written word of the Constitution? Will an "R" make you feel better at night when your Grand Children are saddled with universal health care and taken down a further path to socialism? Is having any "R" in the white house the same as winning an election with a real "R"?

    Cruz isn't perfect, none of them are, but Cruz is a nerdy, odd looking, staunch Constitutional Republican.


    For the record, I seriously considered trump, rubio, Carson and Paul along with Cruz. For the first time in my life I will not vote in the Presidential election unless a real "R" is who I am voting for. I cannot remember ever losing sleep over something more than this election, I can't wait till it's over.

    God Bless!

    Timma, I'm not supporting Trump either. He is still too far to the Left. I'm just saying that it is going to come down to Trump vs. Hellery. We are definitely f'cked. Hellery is Obama's third term. Trump is a big talker that will only get us deeper into WWIII. He has lots of "ideas" that have no solid plans to back them up. He has just as much ego as Obama, maybe more, if that is possible.

    Hey, it would be understandable of you were supporting trump. I get why many are as trump puts into words what many have been feeling over the last decade. I sure agree on trumps ego, WOW.

    Lots of Internet conspiracy going around suggestion that Scalia was whacked.

    I think this is to be expected. I would be very surprised if he wasn't though. I can't see Obummer letting go of an agenda item so easily.

    Anything's possible, but the guy was 79 years old and based on recent pictures was carrying a lot of weight. His occupation was obviously sedentary. Looked up the stats for Marfa, Texas, don't know if they apply to the ranch but in Marfa the elevation is 4,600 feet. The humidity today is 16%. Now having lived in a city out west with similar stats can tell you that more then one visitor from flat land high humidity Midwest felt some discomfort in the change. Had to bitch at them to drink water, more water, and more water. In one case had to run one person into emergency for help and it took two bottles of whatever they gave him via IV to counter dehydration. He thought he was gonna die.
    Oh yeah, not saying alcohol was consumed, but add some altitude and it changes the effect. Drink a six pack at 7-8 feet. Sheeee-ittt!
    Yeah, if foul play was involved it's nothing Columbo will solve.
    Most probably the guy as pointed out before, liked food, probably a bit of alcohol and hit the high desert feeling like a young guy, and like old heavy guys who snow shovel has the big grabber.
    NOW...main thing is Scalia went out being admired by those who knew him and obviously enjoyed life. Can't take his record away from him and it's obvious there is no one, even an ultra conservative, who probably ever be his equal.

    Oh yeah...guess interviewers and reporters would always start out with with using "Chief Justice" or "Justice Scalia" out of respect... he would always counter with "call me Tony". Imagine it was hare to keep a straight face.
