So the ends do justify the means.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same old nonsense.
While you sit on your "high horse" looking down at all those less than perfect people who do things they shouldn't ask yourself how we've won the great battles in history. Lincoln ended habeus corpus during the civil war. In the end he ended slavery, was it worth it? FDR aligned himself with Stalin to defeat NAZI germany. Was it worth it? Churchill didn't warn a city that was about to be bombed so the Germans wouldn't know they had broken their codes. Was it worth it?
You guys really have to get over yourselves. Politics is dirty. It is a war. The Rats have consistently advanced their socialist goals because they aren't "gentlemen". In return we've expected a bunch of genteel "country club" Pubs to get into a bare knuckle fight and win. It hasn't worked out so well.
I wanted Cruz because I see a willingness to be the go to the mat type fighter in him and he is an intellectual match for anyone. Trump won. Trump is rough around the edges, but he fights! He never quits. He may not be perfect, but in his short time in office he's done more to help conservatism than all the genteel types have in the last 30+ yrs.
