I’m thinking that Cruz starts speaking Spanish and the liberal heads explode.

Too bad ‘ol Mitchy Mac isn’t even 1/1,000,000th as tough on dumbocrats as he was on his Republican primary election opponents last Fall.

WSJ says.....
Mr. Cruzs challenge will be showing that his polarizing style is a better bet than the conservative governing success that many of the others [in the GOP presidential field] have already had. SUCCESS by GOP???? They have defined success DOWN....and now the WSJ is merely the mouthpiece of the one world corporatists. Let's CRUZ!!!!

Charles Krauthammer recently told Ted Baxter that as President, he would have swapped Bergdahl for the 5 Gitmo terrorist.

Dr. Krauthammer is a Democrat who worked for President Carter and Vice President Mondale. Look it up.

I would have too.
Once released, I would have had the CIA track these guys where ever they went - and death would have followed behind them.
Meanwhile, I would have tried and shot Bergdahl for desertion.

It's the Tea Party V.S. The Uniparty.
Which has always been the real battle hasn't it?

If the party appeals to only white, Christian conservatives, it will wind up as a regional party, capable of winning Senate and House seats but incapable of winning a national electionThat is possible, but the long-suffering socons deserve their shot to prove it false.

It's striking that the debate is framed in terms of "Christian conservative right" versus "the middle" and the left, as if Americans who want less government but who don't identify as "Christian conservative," don't exist.
You posted an interesting item yesterday where the author pointed out how many more self-declared Independents there are now than ever before, polled at 42 percent! The writer wrongly assumed that those Independents were the same as "middle of the road" voters, and so the Republican party had to take that tack to catch them. I think it's the same here -- the writer assumes that anyone NOT self-identifying as a Christian conservative is either moderate or to the left, and that's the tack to get them.
The reality is that a very large number of Americans are on the opposite side of the road as Democrat/Republican strategies. A very large number of Americans only want one thing: LESS government, LESS nanny state, LESS tyranny, MORE freedom, MORE independence, MORE autonomy from government. A large number of Americans resent the overburden of government Democrats and Republicans are building constantly, and they want to vote for the party, the candidate, the concept, that says, "SMALLER, less government!"
That the guy who is calling for it, Cruz (I hope and trust, anyway), happens to also be an avowed Christian, is so much the better. His being a Republican is as much a liability as it is a benefit.
That there is even this divide IN the Republican party to such a degree, shows that it is defunct.

it is Republicans who sharpen their knives and slice each other up when the White House is at stake.
I'd love to see articles like this about the Democrat party............
Ain't gonna happen because the MSM knows how to tweak the purists of the political right into eating themselves.......
