The problem is that these guys think that the structure of the nation is fine, and if you just paste some conservative wallpaper on it, then we can somehow manage to make a building whose walls are full of rot and mold actually look livable.

They don’t get that the walls need to be ripped out, and the rot removed.

Trump seems to be the only one that has the gonads to do it. I see Cruz putting in a bit of bluster, and then congress slaps him down. He will then go out and try to rally people, only to find that his appeal is limited and his effectiveness has been exaggerated.

Trump is already drawing in people from all over the map, and would go in with a huge cross-section of Americans that can be the start of a real revolution.

You’re an arrogant person to say the least. I know exactly of what I speak and your guidelines are not my guidelines by far. And I question Cruz’s NBC as well. AND be careful who you call a fool.
BTW, where was Cruz on the vote this week he supposedly supported but was off campaigning instead of being present for the vote? Sounds like Rubio’s attitude.

Your observation is compelling. Without prosperity and strength virtue will have no chance.

Trump’s “tool set” is primarily selling himself. I agree, he’s very good at it.

The man has no core principles and blows with the wind depending on the current circumstances and what he’s after. That would be pretty obvious if you honestly look at his past.

You found your “alpha” male and you are going all in. Nothing will deter you. He’s going to run over anyone that gets in his way and that is what you want. You want an authoritarian that does what you think needs doing.

If you really want to right the country, the only way to do it is shrink the government and return it to the limits of the constitution. Nothing else will work. Trump will do what Obama has done, forcing his will on us only in some other direction without regard to the constitution.

Where is your crystal ball that tells you how long I have been watching Cruz, knowing what I learn by studying the various bills and their implications? I don’t need someone else to tell me what the bills say, or how the votes went. Others depend on their favorite interpreter, I don’t. I believe what I KNOW to be fact. Period!
And as far as you howling at the moon about him saving the 2nd Amendment, IMO any decent lawyer could have gotten the same judgement. After all, the number one witness so to speak was the Constitution itself. He’s won five cases and lost four. Middling results in my opinion. Look into some of the other cases he worked on in private practice. i doubt you will like what you see. I know what I want this time around in a President and it isn’t Cruz. He doesn’t have what it is going to take.

A very arrogant person calls Cruz a CINO.

Well clearly your crystal ball with Trump sees unicorns all based on words with no history of doing any of these things. You’re a faith voter. Kind of like a hope and change voter.

I thoroughly agree. The Cruz followers don’t seem to be able to focus on problems and solutions. They have become too dependent on others opinions and hypothetical answers. No nuts and bolts and no steel.

I wasn’t.

The theory here was anyone destroying our enemy, the GOPe, is our friend. While that sounds nice it really isn’t very logical in the long run. You just might be next up.

So no, I never went a long with that.

Something vaguely similar happened in 2008 with Hillary. When Obama was taking out Hillary most here cheered. She was hated, and for good reason. We got something even worse.

No matter who wins, only the invisble hand of God creates the virtue, trust and prosperity that constitute great free market economies, never politicians!

I’m a successful engineer. I know something about problems and solutions in the real world. Faith in a candidate with no history of doing anything based on conservative principles won’t get you there. It’s a sales pitch and you’re buying.

I know Trumps past. I like what I see. His core principles are solid and your ideas don’t interest me. We need strength right now. Trump is the only one who has it. Haven’t you paid any attention to the things he has proven to be able to do? You’d rather listen to some blithering idiot who has never worked in Trump’s field and probably not in the real world at all. Trump’s tool set is an incredible intellectual capacity, a great memory for detail, wisdom in picking the right people to solve the problems he faces on a job site or a new project. etc. etc. etc. The Congress asked for his advice years ago. Even then he was recognized as a genius in economics. You try to belittle the man with your drivel about social issues when we need a builder, not another namby pamby cup custard.

I'll add that the sales pitch is something you want so badly it blinds you to the realities of what is being sold.

Kind of like buying lottery tickets to fix your financial problems. Damn the torpedoes, I need the money... And you end up with less money...

You are blind as a bat! I’d say you’re the hope and change voter....probably did vote for the nut case in the white house. I didn’t. So go peddle your insults elsewhere. Your brain is not functioning.

Kind of like the Germans needed strength in 1934.

That turned out great for them.

I’m not trying to compare Trump to Hitler. There isn’t any comparison. Just the idea of we need “strength” now and the guy who offers the biggest punch gets your vote. Never mind the details.

Keep it up. It won’t get you anywhere. I know about problems and solutions in the real world and probably long before you did. I don’t let political labels influence me when I clearly see who is the best for the job. You couldn’t pick a winner based on your restrictions.

Right. More evidence your critical thinking skills are a little off... Now you say I probably voted for Obama... Next it will be Cruz probably voted for Obama... No evidence required, never mind I’ve been arguing the only way to restore the country is returning to the constitution, just throw it out there much like Cruz is a CINO. Wanting to restore the limits of the constitution is the exact opposite of Obama’s agenda... But that doesn’t matter...

So now I understand and I should have understood awhile ago. You don’t think rationally so this is pointless.

Who in the hell do you think you’re talking to? some first grader? Or is that the way you bully around your wife? You know nothing about me and you DARE to call me names, insult my intelligence and use infantile examples to TRY to prove your point. You’re a loser this time buddy. I “ain’t buyin’ yer crap!”

There is no logic in your underlying premise.
