Shoulda, woulda, coulda doesn't matter when you gotta win.

And the liberal GOP-E can't win with liberal candidates.

They and you will never convince people like me to vote for a liberal.

But they don't change their strategy of attacking those that won't vote for their liberal candidate.

Oh well. They will keep losing.

That’s why we need to remake the Republican party in our image. It’s the only way to break out of the lesser evils rut. It’s what the left did with the Democrat party and it’s what we should do with the Republicans. The trick is that it’s not going to happen instantly, which means we’ll need to be shrewd in the meantime. Let’s not burn down the house just because we’re not happy with the pace of things.

Watch the “ if you can’t beat him join him “ crowd jump on the band wagon.

Sooner or later the MSM ( more Satan media ) will finally figure out that they can’t beat down Ted Cruz and his supporters and will tone down their lying rhetoric and resort to something else, like ignoring him.

Will Ted Cruz have his Reagan moment like when Reagan debated Mondale when he debates Hillary ?

Or when she uses the sexism card ?

Even though that’s not going to happen, it would be a nice gesture so we won’t end up like the last few times.

It would help out a lot if Ted Cruz would emerge out of the primaries on top and in charge with a commanding lead of the issues, and yes, the media, and have a war chest 10 times of that of Hillary’s campaign money.

I’m sorry, but that’s delusional. Romney started out as a liberal, lied when he wanted to win the GOP presidential nomination, and then began immediately to revert once that election was over.

Had he won, he would have governed as a liberal. But he would have done it behind a Republican mask, in YOUR name.

My dad who was a life long Democrats then told me back in the late 90s before he died that he didn’t even bother to go vote for Mondale back in 1984.

No more voting for the lesser of evils.

But sometimes evil does not always come to you with a pitch fork and horns, but with a sly smile and charming personality..... As a angel of light.

Sometimes what seems to be the lesser of 2 evils in reality could be worse or the same.

No, it’s delusional to think he would have governed like a liberal. That’s not to say he would have been Reagan but he wouldn’t have been like a liberal. And it’s absolutely the case that he wouldn’t have been a leftist wrecking ball like Obama, the guy you helped put in office.

Well, someone has got to say it and bring up the question.

A question needs to be asked, did a lot of Evangelical Christians stay home and didn’t vote because in their conscience they could not vote for a Mormon ?

And will Mormons not vote for Ted Cruz because he is not a Mormon ?

The only thing worse than establishment politicians are establishment voters that habitually fill in the ballot for their party candidate no matter how many promises he or she breaks.

What's worse is voting for the Establishment candidate in the PRIMARY, because he's supposedly "more electable" in the general.

They haven’t been able to “ignore” Sarah Palin for six years and she hasn’t stood for election for dogcatcher.

It wasn’t until Ronald Reagan said “ let me speak I paid for this microphone “ ( if my memory serves me right ) that, that was his defining moment that propelled him past George W. Bush and they had to make a agreement with Reagan.

Will Ted Cruz have his defining moment soon ?

My feelings tell me that Ted Cruz is the "Real Seal."

The question remains?... How do you get someone like Cruz ELECTED who will DO GOOD on behalf of America and restore Constitutional law?

Anyone speaking "truth to power", such as Cruz, is immediately and relentlessly hammered, LABELED, and minimized by LIBERALS and the LIBERAL MSM.

There has to be something MORE than just "prayer."

For the know it all media, no one is electible until they are actually, well ? Elected.
