We Texans knew that Abbott was going to win handily, the media was just trying to soften up the blow. and failed.
Just made a $100 bump to Cruz from crazy California.
Nobody to send it to here, might as well send it to Ted.
Oh, and tomorrow some bucks to FR.......
Just did. Felt good!
I want one of your cool mugs! :)
After reading this, I think I will make another donation. The wife hasn’t donated yet.

Johnny hope you are hanging in there! God Bless!
Yeah, but now we are getting some who are saying that we should not put all our eggs in one basket because of the law suits that will come against Ted Cruz to disqualify him because of where he was born.
His site, his rules. And the best conservative site on the web. IMHO.

We call those “Paulestinians” or “Paulbots” usually.
Roger that, Johnny! :)
No worries! I was just admiring it.

It was so bizarre — I live in Dallas but was working in Milwaukee.
It was like seeing the same race run in both places — the MSM in Abortion Barbie and Commie Burke’s corners. Both D’s repeating the same lies and the MSM calling both races a huge win for the womyn.
Sometimes I thought it was Walker/Davis, Abbot/Burke.
I guess I was fortunate to be in the 2 most important places politically in the country.
It was certainly interesting. And after election day double my satisfaction :)
Nobody on Earth would guess that Wisconsin of all places would produce a Scott Walker... the only thing less likely I guess would be Minnesota, which Reagan didn’t even win when he swept the whole rest of the country in 1984
The author is exactly right. If Cruz gets the nomination and wins the presidency, it will be the perfect example of making the Republican party a tool of conservatism. We will have used the party infrastructure to get what we want. Cruz won’t become president without the Republican party. That’s why, while it makes sense to contend with the party and to work from inside and outside the party to change it, it does not make sense to burn it down.
If we really want Cruz, there are enough folks that if everyone were to donate $10-$15, he wouldn’t need the big money people. Let’s see if we can actually rally round him in a meaningful way vs. just spewing a lot of words while sitting on our collective asses.
Conservatives have to fight the media, the Republican establishment, and open primaries. Open primaries are in the category with illegal immigration: no one seems able to get around to stop either.
AMEN AMEN AMEN
“The smirking pundits said, back in 1980, that Reagan had no chance of beating Carter.”
Some people don’t remember that. Here’s an electoral map to remind them:

Let’s hope my luck changes soon....
