“Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy were outsiders.” - Governor and Senator. Not what I, or most, would consider “outsiders.”
My sense of Reagan is that as governor of a state about 3,000 miles from Washington, he was an outsider.
Kennedy was an insider but the ‘outsider’ notion was that he was the first Catholic to be President of the United States.
It was a big deal back then.
But I still see Cruz’s speech as one that ‘leaves me cold’.
As cold as the snow LaVoy Finicum’s body laid in when he was shot on January 26th protesting on behalf of the Oregon ranchers Dwight and Stephen Hammond.
Ted Cruz talks ‘religious liberty’ but refuses to single out the corporations pressuring the political leaders to abridge the First Amendment rights of gay marriage opponents.
They do run and buy our political system as Bernie likes to say about Hillary and that includes forcing Republicans to veto protections of religious freedom for opponents of gay marriage.
Talk about those Anti-Constitutional corporations and their executives, Ted.
I gave Ted Cruz money, but I’m voting Trump in PA next week and for Trump delegates as well.
At least Trump appears to be opposing a big agenda item of the corporatist crony capitalists, a wide open border to import cheap labor.
