“When there is Cruz who has studied all things conservative since he was a child, has a thought out foreign policy, treats even his opponents like the dreamer “
Yet it never dawned on him that he was a Canadian citizen until he ran for president.
Says Libbylu
I am so sick of Trump trashing every one. None of us let our kids act that way. It is just childish. (and to me revealing) No way to run a country and he obviously can’t quit.

Says the person who gets on every election thread and trashes Trump and “obviously just can’t quit.” You’re getting really boring and predictable, there, libby.
HEADS UP!!! The Sean Kennedy who wrote the article contacted me and he is ANOTHER Sean Kennedy who was senate aide to Ron Johnson. However, why CNN wasn’t more specific on this point I don’t know. So even though I still don’t agree with the author’s sentiments, this is a Republican Sean Kennedy who was a senate aide, NOT the Democrat Sean Kennedy who was a senate aide to McCaskill.
The stupidity of these nut jobs is amazing. He suggests the Republican Party still has credibility. The Republican Party ain’t got no credibility left with the American people. They are all washed up. Good riddance!! Now on to bigger and better things with patriot Trump at the helm. I do not even want the new party to continue with the name Republican. It has been so tarnished it needs to be rebranded.
Let me start out by saying that I am a Cruz supporter and generally agree with everything he has said so far. And I am likely to vote for Cruz first and Donald second. BUT, Donald is doing something so important here that I am very happy with his campaign and I would be very happy with Trump’s election. I am Cruz first, Donald second, and nobody close in third. Christie and Graham never.
I have seen candidates say the right things and do the opposite. Both Obama and Bush said they would use the Army less and lower the deficit. Neither did.
But more importantly, the last two presidents had no real knowledge of the job. They were both there because they fit the suit. They gave a good speech or shook a lot of hands. In short, they could get elected. But they did not run the government. For the past 16 years we have been electing Queen, not Prime Minister.
Normally when there is a major candidate, its really a trinity. There is the guy you see. There is the guy behind the guy who actually runs the politics and government. And there is the billionaire or two. Our frustration is that the front man just says what he thinks will get him elected and does not stray to far from what the billionaires want to hear. The behind the scenes guy doesn’t care whats said. He is going to do what he want’s anyway. Think Cheney cared too much what Bush said? Like Cheney was going to change policy because Bush gave a speech?
Trump is the trinity all rolled into one. This is HUGE. You get to see the Billionaire. You get to see the behind the scenes guy. Just that alone is worth voting for. If Trump wins the shell game is over for awhile.
And the second reason Trump is so important is that the GOPe and the media have become corrupt. We think that reporters are supposed to uncover corruption. But who uncovers corruption in the media. Well, Trump did just that. Exposing the media is a great thing. And Cruz did jump on this bandwagon. My vote is at least 40% against big media. Remember the media is just a bunch of billionairs. Bezos, Buffett, Roberts, Murdoch, Saudi Princes.
The GOPe is another large area of corruption. In the end, these guys sit on a large pile of other people’s money. And they wield power by doling this money out to those who obey. Well Trump does not have to obey. And Cruz does not obey. So these two scare and piss off the GOPe respectively.
Just look at the last two bills through congress. The last one to defund Obamacare was written to be vetoed. It was written for us. It was not expected to get passed. There was no part of it that would get the president to sign it or to make him look bad on any other issue. But the budget bill was expected to pass. It was a huge pay back to all the money givers who had bought politicians over the past 2 years. This was a GOPe quid pro quo. And it was a democrat quid pro quo. Lots of donators got their moneys worth finally.
So Trump is very important. And many people will vote for him, because he is not perfect. And he has not even told us what he will do. But he has not lied to us yet. And the media can go after him, that will embolden his supporters more. And the GOPe will go after him and that will embolden his supporters more. And there will be democrats and independents who vote for him, just like they voted for Reagan. Remember they said all the same things about Reagan that they said about Trump; He was too dumb, He was too extreme, He had no national government experience. He wasn’t electable. And yet he won two landslides.
Thanks for the clarification.
Sean Kennedy is leaving the White House legislative affairs shop to become the top lobbyist for the Air Transport Association of America.
Kennedy, currently a special assistant to the president, will join the airlines’ trade association as senior vice president of global government affairs on July 15.
At the White House, Kennedy has been the lead White House contact with the Senate Commerce Committee and the point man for shepherding nominees through the confirmation process. He previously was chief of staff to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who was one of the Obama campaign’s biggest surrogates, and worked as legislative director to then-House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt.

“When there is Cruz who has studied all things conservative since he was a child”
So in essence I’m supposed to care what Cruz was doing at 13? Who cares? God I am so sick of the “legend of Cruz” nonsense in place of some actually achievements.
“...treats even his opponents like the dreamer and code pink with dignity, ie he doesn’t call them losers, stupid and worse.”
Why the living HELL is that something to be proud off? Do these people treat YOU like that? They aren’t your friends or good buddies.
Keep that wimpish bull out of the general. We’ve been complaining for YEARS about the GOPE playing the high-road, white gloves act to predictable loses TIME AND TIME AGAIN. And now you want to extol it as a plus?
The son of a teen romance novelist and a research chemist, Kennedy didn’t always have political aspirations. Growing up in North Carolina, he thought he might be a doctor, and he majored in pre-med at Emory University. Then, while interning for Rep. Tom Carper in 1991, he “caught the bug†and promptly switched his major to political science.
Instead, he's gonna SCHLONG Hillary...
Yes but....the GOP already has the machinery in place. Wouldn’t it be better to wrest control of the party back from leftists? I pray that every GOP incumbent gets primaried and Mr. Trump endorses each challenger.
I’m pretty much certain Sean Kennedy is a poster on this forum, but I haven’t quite figured out his FR screen name....
Wrong Sean Kennedy. There were THREE Senate aides names Sean Kennedy. I googled and the only one that came up was the aide to McCaskill. However the Sean Kennedy who wrote this article contacted me and he was ANOTHER Sean Kennedy who was aide to Senator Ron Johnson. Which is why the Newsbusters story was taken down. Who the Third Sean Kennedy was I don’t know.
Sean Kennedy must be destroyed.
Will wonders never cease?
When there is Cruz who has studied all things conservative since he was a child, has a thought out foreign policy, treats even his opponents like the dreamer and code pink with dignity, ie he doesn’t call them losers, stupid and worse.

You can’t be serious! But then i guess you are. Cruz is ANYTHING but Conservative. His vote to give Obama all powers (TPA) strips American Sovereignty and strengthens the New World Order, his vote on the Cochran Bill gives Obama everything he wants and destroys our Sovereignty again. His so called “foreign policy” stinks because his votes don’t match his mouth. As far as the Code Pink dignity is concerned, they are a bunch of Socialist Rabble Rousers led by an unmitigated idiot! They deserve to be SCORNED by true American patriots. Be nice to them like hell!
The Democrats are only afraid of Trump because they know they media will not be able to help Granny if he is the Republican nominee. As I’ve said, every other candidate including Cruz would get “the treatment” from the media as the ONLY chance Granny had to survive.
Be better if all Democrats would be destroyed,
