Everyone else I have carefully scrutinized, judged, condemned, and sentenced.

I understand. You want the best conservative to lead this country away from the suicidal course we are on.

For some reason, Cruz has limited his appeal to evangelicals and the like and doesn't seem to do well with the larger population. At the end of the day, someone is going to be president and at this stage of the game a Democrat is unacceptable.

to write a new constitution designed it to prevent someone like Donald Trump from ever becoming president

What? Promising to actually enforce existing immigration laws and making sensible trade deals is so horrible? What the heck is wrong with people these days?

I hate to say it. But maybe we are past the point of no return. Even if, I would still rather go down with a good captain.

That is a bad link. You may not understand how the law and the constitution work in this country, so I will share with you some of what I know. In America we have what is called the Supreme Court of the United States. The purpose of this court is to interpret and apply the Constitution of the United States of America. If there is ever a question of if something is constitutional, this court is the final arbiter. Trump did not attempt, nor did he ever violate the Constitution. He simply used the court system exactly like it was intended to be used. Now you can like that, or not. But you are not entitled to apply your personal interpretation of this nations laws and founding documents as you see fit.

I’m still waiting for all of the evidence that Trump is a conservative. I guess I will be waiting forever because such evidence does not exist.

You have all the evidence you need. You are just not capable of thinking anything but what the msm or rush beck tell you to think.

I reaaly don't call me spoon feeding you fact after fact that you will ignore debating. At this point I'm happy just to sit back and watch Trump do his magic. But every now and then, I just have to correct the lie that cruz is the most conservative or cruz is not a one worlder.

I’m ready to debate regardless of your bs. But you can’t debate because you know ultimately Trump is a loser.

There is a possibility that I could be wrong about Trump. None of you Trump supporters have been able to provide any evidence that Trump is a supporter of a constitutional republic

The Founders knew all about Sanders from watching the French Revolution fall inexorably into the class warfare, chaos, and murder of the Terror. Thomas Paine, for example, was an eyewitness to, and his Rights of Man a defense of, the sort of Enlightenment thought that led down that road, for it also lead down a different road to the American War of Independence so long as the resentments, the revenge, and the theft were suppressed in pursuit of a new society. Paine nearly paid with his head for staying just a little too long in that witches' brew of hatred.

Nor were the Founders unacquainted with class divisions within their new country, as Hamilton's frequent invocation of the antique term "yeomanry" to describe the citizen farmer attested. His insistence that a political representative could represent class interests without being a member of that class occurred in several places in the Federalist Papers; while he was correct about it, it also led to the inception of a professional political class populated heavily by attorneys such as himself.

None of this is new in American history; one might say that American History is made up of it.
