Cruz argues in the plan he won't do it through executive action...Then it won't be done.

Conservatives couldn’t even get rid of the Export-Import Bank!
None of these will go, they will all find an excuse to continue to exist.

Exactly! This is just red meat to throw to Conservatives!

Nothing ends in the Government.

Quite a few on this forum who lectured me on 1. The function of the ExIm and 2. The need for it. That crowd must be happy it got renewed. So why slam GOP Conservatives for voting like Free Republic would?

The export-import Bank was defeated by Conservatives and put back in by the RINO''s.

So, the guys defending it on FR weren't conservatives.

We have quite a few of them here.

There is no need for an Export-Import Bank.

It is simply cronyism.

hear, hear...they’re useless and dangerous. At a minimum they need to be disarmed as do almost all other fed agencies.

Why does everyone assume that the Congress will be the same then as it is now?

Thins are changing radically as messages Cruz’s and also Trump’s are what the electorate is yearning for. Remember, the primaries are relatively early. If either of the two become the big winner up to and to include SEC Tuesday (March 15) that would have coat tails. Most Federal and State primaries are more later in the year. Florida deadline for filing is late June and that primary is not until mid August.

All 435 seats in Congress are up in addition to 34 Senate seats. The coat tails have the potential to bring a wave of new reps.

Cruz argues in the plan he won't do it through executive action, but by working with Congress.

This debate was supposed to be, and mostly was, about finance and the economy. Great debate, spot on.

Eliminating the IRS as we know it today is brilliant, it is the HUB of all government spending without the IRS feeding those agencies they will collapse, there will need to be a whole new round of what can and cannot be funded using the Constitution as the foundation, this is the strategy Cruz intends to deploy, and as President he will veto any spending that is not constitutionally sound.

Cruz has the only plan that will effectively restore our Constitutional Free Republic, everything from A to Z in the Federal Government will face constitutional muster.

Yes there will be court challenges to everything, but Cruz will also have the opportunity to appoint a sufficient number of Constitutionally sound Judiciaries.

Cruz will need a conservative congress, he will in the General be doing what past candidates rarely did, he will be spending time and energy promoting candidates for congress while campaigning for POTUS no other candidate has the knowledge of conservationism to promote the right candidates.

When he is president he will do things the right way and frankly that will piss off many conservatives who want revenge on liberals by doing business like they did but we don’t need pay back we need the restoration of our Free Republic, the greatest assault on liberals will simply be “DOING RIGHT”!

Nothing was mentioned at the debates of the muzzie problem in Europe, of the possibility of a similar problem in the US — in fact, Islam was not mentioned at all. Go back to sleep, you candidates.

It was an economic debate. It was on the Fox Business Channel. Why do you think they would ask a question about muslim fundamentalism?

That’s what I’m talking about.

Set the agenda. Make the Left respond to OUR issues on OUR terms, instead of talking about transgender bathrooms on THEIR terms. Put THEM on the defense. Make THEM defend these useless departments.

This is leadership.
