The Nation Owes Trump and Cruz a Debt of Gratitude
Coach Is Right ^ | 12/18/2015 | Kevin "Coacg" Collins

Posted on 12/18/2015 12:36:34 PM PST by conservativejoy

I am not in favor of any kind of armed rebellion in America's streets. I think such a rebellion would cause terrible things to happen everywhere. This said, as an observer of the public mood I can say with little hesitation that the ingredients for an ugly storming of government buildings are all swirling around and it has thus far been only by the Grace of God that they have not connected and turned into a bitter and furious conflagration.

As a people, we the ones who pay the bills and are now on a collision course with history. We have been abused and mocked by both Parties and there is no end of this mistreatment in sight.

Our hopes and aspirations have been snuffed out like a cigar butt under their feet and we are angry, very angry.

Starting with 2010 our feelings toward the Republican Party have fallen from elation to unease to disappointment to annoyed to frustrated to exasperated to resentment to smoldering anger to cold anger to rage and are now on the brink of uncontrollable rage.

While all of this is going on we are barely being restrained by a final glimmer of hope we see in Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. If it were not for these two men giving us a final opportunity to channel our rage into peaceful rallies we may very well have descended into chaos and fighting in the streets.

Instead of continually trying to destroy these men, the Republican establishment both Parties and the media ought to be thanking them for keeping the lid on the powder keg that our nation has become.

Watching the full-throated support displayed at rallies for both Trump and Cruz should give pause to those who are now drunk with power and grinding us under their heels.

All we have left is our fervent prayer that they wake from their detachment and cold indifference to reality because even Trump and Cruz might not be able to keep the small flame of hope burning. If they cannot keep the lid on until Election Day it could explode into a fire that will destroy what is left of our America.

Reince Preibus and the crooked RNC can seriously go 'eff themselves.
They have essentially ensured that I will never support anything they do.

Trump has done this country I great service by driving a stake through the heart of the Bush dynasty.

Right on. We got some mighty-fine Pharisees plying their trade and sniffing their rejection of the base, when it is the conservative base that makes the party move in good directions.

It is that base that gave us Ronald Reagan - TWICE - both times in LANDSLIDES.

Anyone who is not walking in our direction does not deserve to called true leaders.

That's totally false.

Reagan MIGHT have been narrowly elected in a base election.

It was patriots who flooded the polls and produced those huge landslides.

I don’t know why they try to lump Cruz in with Trump. Trump is responsible for changing the narrative. He alone came out with a tough stance on immigration in the face unrelenting criticism. No one stepped up to stand with him. And it was the same thing with stopping the terrorist invasion on this country. They all ridiculed Trump as a racist or Hitler or worse. Where was Cruz through all this? Oh, that’s right Cruz made sure to distance himself from the policy. Cruz has not actually accomplished anything in the senate other then a lot of talk and TPA. I say no, Cruz does not deserve to ride on Trump’s coat tales yet because he has not earned it. If Cruz were to suspend his campaign and through his support behind Trump I would judge differently.

Those are places that were named after saints by the Spanish, not Mexicans. California was never part of Mexico. It was Spanish. Don’t believe the Mechca reconquista caca de toro.

You have many friends.

The R Party is dead.

Only TRUMP can rebuild a Party of patriots. Who else is such a force?

When Trump came out with his Muslim ban, both Cruz and Paul had already introduced legislation to ban immigrants from 34 countries that have terrorist activity.

I would invite you to listen to Cruz’s announcement speech from March 23rd and then listen to Trump’s announcement speech. What you will hear is that every single position Trump takes has already been taken by Cruz. The only things that Trump left out are Religious liberty and abolishing the IRS.

Then who do you think voted for Reagan? It was the base, the real people of this county.

The base is where the patriots are you numskull.

That, my friend, is pure crap. Cruz supported a form of amnesty and can not even bring himself to say the D-Word (Deport). When Trump said he wants to stop all potential terrorist from entering the US until we get a handle on what is going on and who is already here, Cruz said "That is not my policy". No sir, Cruz is very weak in the face of what Trump has said and is doing. Don't even get me started on Cruz's record in the senate to this point.

The reason why Trump is where he is was because he made the big moves early on while the other candidates were all too happy to play the easy game throughout the summer and early Fall.

They let Trump take the risk, and now that he changed the narrative and dispatched the RINOs and weak conservatives, every article pastes Cruz’s name into it as if he was in the thick of it the whole time.

His point was that Reagan brought in a previously unknown voting block that represented a large portion of the silent majority, the Reagan Democrats. Without this group, Reagan would not have been elected. It is the same way with Trump, he not only attracts the base, both conservative and republican, he also attracts a significant number from traditional democrat blocks such as blacks, mexicans, woman and pajama boy youths.

I think this article is spot on. Indeed, I’m uncertain there are mere “words” in our language to describe how EVERYBODY is pissed off so bad they cannot stand it. This omnibus bill is IN OUR FACE by these bastard Republican lefties led by McConnell and Ryan. These men need to be behind bars NOT holding public office!

Rope.

Neck.

Tree Limb.

Some assembly required—and I’m NOT kidding. The time for trials and “prison cells” is LONG past.
I don not expect ANY legal or peaceful end to this crisis.

Lock and load, boys and girls—it’s coming.
