Well

He knows how firm Melania Knauss’s round ass is....I’ll have to give him that

I see Trump as the only one of the candidates who can make the necessary moves once elected. Will he? The outlook isn't good. Other candidates have better ideas and more consistent records of support for things Constitutional but would get ground up by the Machine. Cruz is the most consistently conservative but he has some big holes in his judgment, witness his voting for Obama on trade and on Iran, two immense cessions of Congressional power to the Executive, and his desire for more immigration specifically to compete with citizens for skilled jobs.

My own thoughts here are for a Trump/Cruz ticket hoping that Cruz will provide the Constitutional anchor and direction to keep the new elected Dictator on a course to resurrect the Republic. I think that the first act must be to shut down the powerful agencies, particularly EPA and Education- end them. It will require a Fiat to do it and it would have to be done immediately before they have a chance to regroup and fight back.

The office of President is now effectively and unavoidably a Dictatorship. The new holder of that office can try to stay with Constitutional practice and theory and will be swamped by the true power holders, the Democrats/totalitarians,communists/moslems who own the Agencies. If he uses the power now inherent in the office to put in place all the things we see as Right and Good he will have failed, because the office is still that of Dictator and the next one will undo it all or he will as things take hard turns later in his term. The only answer I see is to abolish the agencies and to persuade, powerfully prersuade but not force, the States to go to the Article 5 Convention and to hope for the best. The States can take their rightful Constitutional powers back in this manner if they are shielded from retribution by a powerful man in the Presidency/Dictatorship. Power cannot be returned directly to the Congress. Congress doesn't want it and the Court will stymie the process.

Then it will be up to the States and they may or may not reinstall the Republic. They must first of all repeal the 17th Amendment. It' ratification in 1913 is ultimately what brought us to the present pass with assists from the 16th and 19th and with the fact that the society is rich enough to support a huge non-productive segment that desires the total nanny state and that includes far more than the welfaristas- it is also the Academics and the MSM.

Kind of a back-handed swat that insinuates we be crazy fo liking da Donald but he sho is our sort of crazy...even do he don’t knows nuttin about what we needs.

But in terms of policy, it isn't just that some conservatives haven't read Hayek.

Salma?
