Right on.

‘I insist the pukes quit sipping chilled Cristal w/ room-temperature Brie and water crackers in the Four Seasons lounge w/ our tax dollars...that/s where they get these half-baked ideas about US foreign affairs.’

What could be more corrupt than a group of govmn’t workers whose job is to be constantly exposed to foreign interests?

It takes a strong will to clean up the State Department, someone determined to put America First.

If someone is willing to ...

ban muslims ...

build a wall ...

defund sanctuary cities ...

negotiate agressively on trade deals ...

find ways to save money on the Keystone Pipeline ...

waterboard terrorists ...

That’s the kind of leader who can actually reform the State Department. Someone tough, patriotic, and even ruthless toward the wicked.

Trump just doesn’t want to take out moderate strong men in the Middle East who keep the radicals in line.

But he would not mind appearing to be a dove right now.

I predict that he will send the National Guard to the Mexican border and have them well armed with looser rules of engagement. He will decimate ISIS. He will restore a military presense in the Philippines ...

They needs us very badly, but they will need to cut a deal with him first.

And he will attempt to make Russia part of the solution via Islamo-terrorists.

Permit me to bask in the aura of your infinite wisdom...and I quote:

Cruz has really ratcheted up the stupid lately.... his followers have gone full tilt nutso.... history-challenged, borderline insane zealots rambling about anti-Semitism and KKK about someone from NYC.... Levin is clearly in this class now and I say good riddance. This exact same smear tactic occurred just two years ago, and Cruz was a member of that cabal, although cloaked with deniability from Mitch. I wonder how Cruzers feel about being drafted into the GOPe cesspool by Saint Ted?

Cruz/s long-laid plans for Super Tuesday was a complete strategy failure. Donald ate his lunch all over the conservative south....Cruz/s supposed strongholds. So that answers your question.

As deluded Cruz continues making victory speeches, one can discern another strategy aborning in the calculating Cruz mind. If he can manage to stay in the race, the opportunistic Cruz can dupe donors into ponying up more and more money.

He now has $100 million to do whatever he wants with...said to be building new houses. Better hang onto your hat....Cruz is about to twitch himself into the really big bucks.

Thanks Liz.

On that last part, $100 million bucks for Ted, I'm not so sure.

I've seen some tweets today saying that Cruz blew through lots of dough in Texas and needs an infusion from his billion dollar baby puppet masters.

BTW ... this is one of the things I mentioned last June or July, that Trump uniquely brings to the table, something unprecedented for a (R) candidate. I said that by self-funding he can do something to the (D)ummies that no-one has ever done before. He can launch Doolittle raids straight into the enemy capitols like LA, SF, Chicago and NYC, expensive markets that they never have to defend ( and naturally the RINO pukes never thought to hit them like this, they stacked all their bets on FL and OH like a degenerate gambler in a casino ).

Since then ( June or July ) he has followed this "advice" in the primaries jetting into all kinds of rallies and shown how it can be done. Now just imagine doing this in the general to Hillary. They have never had to defend those expensive media markets and since their party bankroll is lower than ever before, he can hurt them badly. Not to mention he can quite possibly put several "blue" states in play, though probably not IL, CA and NY. He can however, cause the enemy to bankrupt itself in those markets leaving their flank ( all other areas ) wide open for easy pickings.

With proper coordination, his self-funding the main ticket and the party funding the down-ticket offices they could easily engineer a historic wipeout of the enemy.

So what happened in Texas was a great example of this. He kept Cruz below 50% in his ( and the Bushies ) home state, grabbed a bunch of delegates to boot, and emptied Ted's bankroll. Win-Win.

One more thing. It has been said that one of the ways that Reagan got his 1981 economic recovery act and tax cuts passed was by threats to House and Senate members that he would fly Air Force One into their districts and make sure they lost their re-elections. This is the prototype for an effective President Trump, whether the Congress is (D)ummy or (R)epublicrat.

Cruz going for broke, eh? That sure explains his obsession to stay in the race...gotta get those bucks to fund the lifestyle M/M crave.

N-i-c-e deconstruction. A great Trump slapdown of the execrable Cruz and the dam Bushes.

.....Reagan apparently got his 1981 economic recovery act and tax cuts passed was by threats to House and Senate members that he would fly Air Force One into their districts and make sure they lost their re-elections.......

Beautiful.....Donald needs to do that....fly in his plane...the one w/ Trump emblazoned across it.

FYI---just came across this on another thread-----in case you missed it.

Bush got 88% in the 2000 Texas Primary.

Cruz got 44%.

Yes. We must give them no quarter anymore. We have been generous for decades. Generosity is seen as kindness, and kindness, weakness.

I have yet to see a definition of "neoconservative" that makes any sense.

Maybe "defense industry lobbyists with imperial fantasies" would be clearer. :)

He will declare war against the drug cartels in our hemisphere and take them out from the top down with drones and whatever is needed.

I January, we will start building a fence like the one shown below and finish it in February. The wall will come later.

Mexico-Guatemala border fence.

I really hope you are right!

Seriously?

He flirts with prohibitionist thinking as I understand it!
