Expect more squealing for Rubio and boos for Trump at tonight's debate:

Jonathan Oosting, Detroit News Lansing Bureau 12:06 p.m. EST March 3, 2016
Lansing — The Michigan Republican Party received more than 21,000 ticket requests for Thursday’s presidential debate in Detroit but will only be giving out about 50 tickets to the public.

The Republican National Committee allocated 400 tickets to the state party, which is expected to give roughly 350 to elected officials, state committee members and grassroots activists, said Michigan GOP spokeswoman Sarah Anderson.

This leaves 50 tickets for the public. The tickets will be randomly awarded to some of the 21,000 people who filled out an online form on the state party website.

Don't sell yourself short. I've spent plenty of time arguing with you here.

Trump may have a permit but that doesn't give him pro-gun credentials. Here is an article written by someone much more articulate than me, Bob Owens from Bearing Arms, that mirrors my opinion.

Donald Trump has successfully captured the hearts of many Americans who are sick to death of “politics as usual.” Mr. Trump’s bombastic style has earned him a dedicated fan base, and his current rhetoric on the Second Amendment is second to none. He brags of being a concealed carry permit holder and a Life Member of the NRA.

It is true that Mr. Trump has a concealed carry permit issued in New York City. Unfortunately, concealed carry permits in NYC are a badge of the worst sort of political cronyism, awarded exclusively to the powerful and connected. Nothing in Mr. Trump’s record shows that he has expressed even a moderate interest in combating the corrupt “may issue” permitting system of NYC. He’s clearly interested in protecting himself, but not so much the self-defense rights of his fellow New Yorkers. In this regard, he’s only mildly less repellent that fellow wealthy New Yorker Michael Bloomberg, who has a phalanx of armed guards carrying guns for him.

When it comes to Mr. Trump’s NRA Life Membership, his supporters routinely miscast it as if it is a lifetime membership, one that he has hand for many, many years. In fact a “Life Membership” is the simple one-time act of purchasing $1,000 membership. While I thank Mr. Trump for his support of the National Rifle Association, I find myself wondering when he decided to support the organization, and why (Mr. Trump is unrated by the NRA, because he has no voting record to rank).

Mr. Trump does not like hunting, but he has defended his two sons that are hunters. It’s not the full-throated defense you would hope for in a Second Amendment candidate, but it is better than nothing.

Where Trump falters, and falters badly, is in his weathervane views on not just the Second Amendment, but on seemingly every issue, and even in his party affiliation, which he’s changed five times since the mid 1980s.

Mr. Trump has adopted the stance of a Second Amendment absolutist since he dedicated himself to running for office, but he has supported bans on AR-15s and other common firearms in the past with his self-professed support of so-called “assault weapon” bans. Mr. Trump has likewise favored waiting periods.

He is not a “gun guy.” While he has mentioned his concealed carry permit, no one seems to have ever seen Mr. Trump fire the guns he claims to own, and an image search of “Donald Trump shooting” isn’t going to return images of the on-again-off-again candidate actually shooting a gun.

And excerpts from another from the same author making the case that Cruz is unarguably the most pro-gun candidate.

Earlier in the primary season, we had a wealth of strong Second Amendment supporters running for the Presidency. One by one they dropped out, but of the three remaining, only Senator Ted Cruz comes close to having the Second Amendment credentials of a true “gun nut” like Rick Perry or Rand Paul.

It’s frankly odd to see so many people rallying around a big government-supporting crony capitalist like Donald Trump in the mistaken belief that he is the “anti-establishment candidate.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump is the face of everything people claim that they hate about politics in America, even bragging in debates about how he paid off candidates in both parties to get what he wanted in a naked proclamation of his belief in the corruption of “business as usual.”

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, is hated by his peers in the establishment Senate GOP for refusing to be a “go along to get along” supporter of big government GOP policies....

....Cruz is hands down the most qualified candidate to ever consider nominating a justice for the Supreme Court, having served a law clerk for Mike Luttig (a very influential textualist judge often compared to Justice Scalia) and Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He also authored 73 briefs and argued nine cases before the Supreme Court, all of those cases pushing for the textualist/constructionist views. He is also the author of the amicus brief 31 states signed on to in the landmark Heller case protecting our Second Amendment rights.

If Cruz is elected President, he would have the opportunity to appoint the strict constructionist judges we need to not just maintain our Second Amendment rights, but to roll back punitive gun laws that have gutted the right to bear arms in California, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, and elsewhere.

If you have other interests driving your voting, then I’m not qualified to tell you how to vote.

It is crystal clear, however, that Senator Ted Cruz is our best bet for both defeating Hillary Clinton and rebuilding a Supreme Court that will help repeal many of this nation’s blatantly unconstitutional gun laws, and who most clearly has his heart and soul and record on the right to bear arms we can trust.

As a supporter of the right to bear arms, Ted Cruz is clearly our best option.

Again the RNC has not liked Cruz for some time. To the point of dismissing him , re mitch mcconnell .

The whole party system has been fucked for some time. Either the revolution starts within the party itself or the street.

I think EVERYONE should stay home this election cycle.
