If Trump can make Cruz look comparatively moderate, so that the establishment supports Cruz as a way of avoiding Trump,


Rubio is the GOPe answer to a conservative Cruz. He’s mostly laying low now and waiting for the debates. The beltway GOP will never support Cruz and instead use a fake “conservative” cut out like Rubio.

Makes sense. The low-information Republican voters will probably look at Rubio as "that nice Hispanic boy" and enjoy his pablum.

Not to be quarrelsome at all, but was wondering if you know how many vetoes Bush II issued. I’m thinking it was only one, sadly.

I have been a conservative all my life; a registered Republican since 1968, mainly so I could have a voice in what we used have here, a closed Primary.
I have never felt I owed any loyalty or obedience to the Republican Party.
I took my OATH to the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES!
NOT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

I wonder if he’ll be back on with Rush tomorrow for some follow up.

Looks like 12 vetoes from GW.

Clearly not enough.

I’ve heard a few people talk about Trump doing harm to the republican party. I’ve thought, what’s wrong with that? The republican and democrat parties need to be destroyed.

We are voting for Ted Cruz. If he isn’t on the ballot, we will write him in. No more wasted votes on GOPe scoundrels.

Yup! Agree! Bring it all down so we can rid the GOP of the traitors and rebuild again.

I prefer the term “uniparty” but that’s close enough


I see two beltway parties: the marxist party and the pay me party. The GOP is happy to install the progressive agenda as long as their pockets are stuffed with cash to do it.

OK all. Devils advocate.

Why should a bunch of people that know their voters will elect them ‘no matter what’, who campaign on ‘working with President Obama”, do anything other than do what the people elected told them to?

Because they did promise to work with, not against Barry before the election and people then gave them power.

Bonus: Name the problem with lesser evil idiocy.

I don’t trust McConnell or any gop leadership.

I think McConnell and other gop leaders are just playing to the media and trying to make themselves look like they are doing something.

Think what Cruz said just this week about McConnell lying and also this from Cruzs book.

Cruz on leadership corruption and sellout......


That Tuesday lunch began with our leadership saying, “We’re asking every Republican senator here, to affirmatively consent to lower the threshold for Harry Reid to take up the debt ceiling, from 60 votes to 50 votes. And we were told, everyone of you should agree for two reasons.

Number one, if we do this, it will happen, and hallelujah, hallelujah, that’s what we want. We want trillions more in debt with no spending reforms, because we’re scared of this issue. We don’t want to have a political fight on this.

But number two, if we do this, the Democrats will have the votes to do it on their own, which means all of us Republicans can vote no. And we can go home and tell our constituents, we opposed the thing we just consented to allow happen.

Now, I was sitting there — to be honest, I hadn’t gone to lunch intending to pick a fight, but as I listened to that, I was astonished and I raised my hand, and I said, “There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across Texas, telling Texas, if you elect me, I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”

If were to do that, I think it would be both dishonest and unfaithful to the men and women who elected me.
