Ted has just been introduced to the uniparty.

I’m very concerned about their safety. I don’t know how I would respond if anything happens to either of them. I know I will automatically think it was the uniparty machine.

Buchannan didn’t run against W. He ran against Old Man Bush.

I’m sure they are well aware of their surroundings. But I would not be remotely shocked to see an ‘accident’ happen regardless of how many people died in that ‘accident’. Because liberals simply see it as a means to an end and if we lose a fully loaded plane or a building with them in it to ‘terrorism’ they would make sure it happened.

The Clinton win was caused directly by a tired, wornout candidate named George HW Bush. The turnout was low on our side as a result..Clinton sailed easily into the white house. He also ran to the center..if you recall..

In any case, pat’s numbers were too low to affect it.

GHWB lost that race...he gave up, gave out, and the media shredded him.

Bushes and Clintons went way back, they made a deal.

He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996. He ran on the Reform Party ticket in the 2000 presidential election.

I know W won. Pat Buchannan ran against his daddy and it was said at the time that it hurt Bush. I agree with Cold Heat. Old Man Bush didn’t want to win.

I also wonder if it wasn’t a set up. Bush steps aside for Clinton. W gets two terms. Then Hillary gets two terms. But a monkey wrench was thrown in named Obama.

If I recall, Clinton was a bit of a monkey wrench too...In the primary run he was not even contending and then.......wham, bam..

This is why I don’t get too excited early in the primary..The real stuff will happen next year.

Once again we see that the lesser evils flatly refuse to back up their assertions with fact and simply sling off hoping people forger.

It’s not just Mitt, my friend. It’s Thad, and Mitch, and Lamar, and all the rest who followed the Turtle like a bunch of sheep, today. I wouldn’t vote for any of them.

In this case, the “lesser evil” is, in fact, the greater evil.

to use a metaphor, i’m doing what i can to plow my tiny patch of the field, but will he now put his hand to the plow in this same field, or will he continue to plow in his?

I'm sorry, but it still sounds like you're asking Ted Cruz to do it all. You expect superhuman feats from the man -- for your and my benefit.

For my money (of which I have given to him), he's done more for the conservative cause and the Constitution in his short time in office, than any ten other Senators have done in their entire careers. He's been a fearless champion for the founding precepts that gave birth to this nation, and I thank him for it.

Given a chance, and tons of support from the folks back home, he'll do much more, but he's not a god. He's not even godlike. Any man can only do so much alone, and he is pushing against the mightiest leviathan on the planet with very little assistance.

If you think there ought to be an alternate party for him to lead, then brother, get out there and start building it.

I think it’s far too early for me to speculate...Trump is a wildcard.

Agree. I've qualified most of my optimistic statements about him with reminders that he can be unpredictable. There's a very big IF hanging over him right now. Especially among conservatives. No one knows if he'll do something that will cause his campaign to implode.

He's been known to show up with all sorts of bluster and bravado, only to fold his cards and leave when he tires of the game. He could still do that, but I'm convinced that he's in it to win it this time. He's too deeply committed, and is gaining far too much ground to give it up.

If he keeps making gains over the next few months, and doesn't step in something really nasty, I think the trust factor among conservatives will rise. For some, he may have to survive until this time next year, for them to finally trust him. We'll see. There's still a long road ahead.
