I understand what she's saying, and so do a lot of conservatives.

As I observed, what she is saying is clearly preposterous. If it needs editing to become sensible then I do not understand why it is "over the top" to point the truth out.

I was with you until the last two paragraphs, I think you overestimate the effect Donald Trump has had on the race and underestimate the effect Ted Cruz has had in pointing the way by fighting the fight. Cruz showed the world what could be done. Donald Trump has come on stage and talked about it.

To not see the difference in intensity of presentation; one being an intellectual, and one a man of action, requires no editing. It does take a willingness to see it, and differentiate. Criticizing her because she sees a truth you can't, or don't want to, doesn't help anyone. "Over the top" may not have described it well, you don't agree with her, and you should have left it at that.

I see what she's saying, I'm sorry you don't, and with that, we'll simply disagree.

I'm going to double down, without Trump Cruz could not have muscled his way as high as he is.

For many of the reasons you like Cruz, I do as well, he is still my first choice. That does not prevent me from seeing what Trump has done to the race, and what he has done for the race.

He is the two ton gorilla. He may not last, and if he doesn't he will have paved the way for Cruz. I, for one, appreciate what he has done, win or lose.
