Shouldn't that be left to the Trumpbots...I mean Trump does consider Schmucky a good friend...someone that he can work with.

You say that but there are your two heroes having a circle jerk yesterday with a corrupt POS.

I am one and I do know @roamer_1   I'm simply giving my 2 cents on how to win elections and govern.  But, hey, if that isn't what conservatism is about or wants, then the strategy is working.   :shrug:

Not my heroes.  The people I consider heroes have nothing to with the idiots currently infesting Sodom on the Potomac.

I leave the Idol worship to folks like you.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sort of like accusing the Russians of hacking and interfering with the outcome of the election when none of the voting machines are connected to the internet.

Oh ... did you know that Trump owned all those voting machines?  Just kidding .... but that's exactly how rumors and b.s. get started.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Amen, brother!


That's just it.  The Democrats effectively are in power, because Conservatism has been abandoned by the very people campaigning on its coattails.  The Dems get to keep Obamacare.  The Dems get to keep exorbitant tax rates.  The Dems get to keep baseline budgeting.  The Dems get to keep annual trillion dollar expansions of the money supply through the printing-of-the-money by the Fed.  And the Dems get to keep control of the narrative.  All because Conservatives were told to get in the back of the bus by people who care more about holding on to political power just like Democrats than they care about actually rolling back the power of Government.

To hell with you all you Democrat-wannabees.  Unless we begin cutting back the encroachment of government in our lives - unless we get the federal government the hell out of health care insurance - unless we bring federal spending below 19% of GDP - unless we implement a flat tax where everyone who holds a job becomes accountable, then we as a nation will cease to exist.  And after 17 months of campaigning, two months of preparation, and four months in office, it is clear that not one of you Trump sycophants gives a damn about any of these things.  All you care about is having power.

Haven't you heard?  'Pragmatism' is what wins elections and makes change.  Principles are are for those who are 'nuttier than a fruitcake'.  'Principles' are for those who want a theocratic dictatorship.

Just like their Leftist counterparts, the AlwaysTrump Pragmatists are going to ignore facts when it denigrates their political parties and messiahs, even when most of what is promised in terms of shrinking the power of the Beast is reneged by the very peoples and party they put into power.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Well, they have ever handled defeat badly, especially at their own hands. SSDD, really. I just wonder how all those people they didn't need (or want, even) got to be the bad guys.  :shrug:

Cruz lost me with his tactical and strategic incompetence in the 2013 Obamacare shutdown fight.

It was a fight at the wrong time, on the wrong issue, and with insufficient resources.

How many times did Harry Reid circular-file legislation when Democrats had the Senate majority? Did anyone seriously think he was going to allow a vote to defund Obamacare?

You can talk your principles all you want, but Cruz would have lost in a landslide with his proven tactical and strategic incompetence. The wages of that would have been an army of Lois Lerners suppressing conservative speech while a Merrick Garland Supreme Court invented "constitutional rights" for every left-wing agenda item under the sun. The wages Barry Goldwater's tactical and strategic incompetence was mere bankruptcy from an entitlement state that LBJ had the popular mandate for.

Sorry if I wasn't eager to join your quest to commit suicide.

I hope God is running next time because there is no earthly being that suits 'you people.'

The primaries ended months ago. Who is worse those that blindly support Trump (which is bad) or those that complain about it yet still are the only ones pointing back to the primaries they never got over. Hillary supporters are doing the same thing today. Throwing fits because their horse didn't make the podium.

I was a supporter Sen. Cruz and still believe he'd have been a better president than Trump but, I am happy to see that Sen. Cruz is more of an adult and patriot than some of those who supposedly supported him.  If he is able to put aside any feelings of bitterness he has towards Trump, with reason, to do what is best for the country than who am I to do differently. :shrug:

So just because it was in the past, it's OK now, even though he never actually rectified the damage he caused?

What does that have to do with anything?
Because Cruz, being a politician, with a far more limited scope in action, must back the Orange Twinkie in order to function, how in the hell does it follow that I must thereby support a buffoon of such caliber as I have seldom seen in my life?

I will not lend credence or support to a man of proven low character. Not because I am holier-than-thou, as some here have opined, but rather, because life has long past taught me the fallacy of doing so.

Whatever Cruz may do or not do has no bearing upon that whatsoever.
