Funny how some our Trumpet hoard calls us haters for our comments, and  not bowing down to the orange idol.  Still the TOS brings their Cruz hate in periodic fashion.  They are really becoming an amusing lot.

I think its probably pretty disheartening for them. Over at Soviet Republic they can convince themselves that they're a vast majority and no one really opposes Trump. Over here they're forced to face reality and it probably scares the hell out of them.

Nonsense.  This has nothing to do with one's soul.   Politics is the art of the possible.   If you think adherence to rigid ideological purity is necessary to preserve your soul, then you're nuttier than a fruitcake.
Your lack of true wisdom is extruding.

The pedestal you seat yourself upon has a truly precarious tilt to it.

Humility in the face of God and others is where it all begins.

You support conservatism, But the most conservative candidate of the entire list was Cruz, and he was the bottom of choices?. Hmmmmm.....

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.

Yes Cruz's 'tactical and strategic incompetence' really cost the GOP in the 2014 midterms.

And your POTUS Trump has excelled so well in that area. :silly:

That slow gurgling sound is your credibility circling the drain.

Let's see... 304 electoral votes in the last Presidential election, despite NeverTrumpers on the right and the media...

Based on those results, I'll take Trump. Voter registration data in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are still showing net gains for Republicans.

Soul and principles are a concept that's beyond the understanding of the orange crowd.

Hope they are getting more than  30 pieces of silver (check about 10 chapters down).

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.

Don't be a hypocrite.  You knew I meant post-election in reference to  the "technical and strategic incompetence " issue.

His ruthless cut 'em off at the knees approach won the election while alienating half the country in the process.  Your lot are delusional thinking you that same M.O. will work in governing.

Trump is part of what you call the "American Left".  What's the difference of him stealing my freedoms or the slimy dim bastards?  They're still both stolen.

I'd rather be William Wallace on the rack, than a sniveling pseudo-conservative  orange sell-out.

Word.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-
