Yes but the principle does not change. It’s ‘might makes right’ regardless of how you slice it. In politics, war or anything else. Might may mean victory and victors write the history books. But thats a far different thing than right.
You think I'm cute? I get that a lot.
Did I post I was backing Trump? I didn't see that. Thanks for filling me in. I'm surprised. What am I having for dinner?
At this point in the election cycle we are going in to what I call the "tennis match stage". The ball is going to be hit back and forth. Some people who thought they were steadfast supporters of a candidate will lean one way then another as the ball gets hit by the candidates. It is human nature and the campaigns and the media like to play their part in attempting to control the flow of things. In this cycle where usually the GOP elite pukes are pushing their butt boy we have a very odd wrinkle and that is the party itself is adverse to the two current front runners. Think of that image of the college kid spewing puke out of his mouth and nose at a frat beer party gone bad. That's the GOP ringmasters. Err, former ringmasters. They are very very unhappy. The media is too for that matter because some of the candidates are spitting back at them. How dare they!
These are the most interesting political times I have ever seen.
What about God and Nebuchadnezzar? He had God on his side, he was right, and he was wrong...all at the same time.
Just months ago Trump said he was thinking of Cruz for Veep and now Cruz is worse than Hillary...Hmmm, do you think Cruz is worse than Hillary??? Trump may not be owned by anyone, but he certainly is not loyal to anyone including his first two wives...
What about Adolf hitler slaughtering millions of people? He won for several years. Was he right for several years?
How about Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot? Were they right during their reigns? They held victory afterall.
Cruz warmed to Trump because Trump let him think he was an ally and Ted needs allies. Ted was still running for the same position and Trump turned on him when he started to gain on him. Although painful it’s best Cruz knows the real Donald now instead of later. It’s best for all of us.
Actually, he was talking about the Goldman Sachs loan. The gist of it was that we expect obfuscation from Hillary, but not from a real lawyer like Cruz.
The ideal is certainly one man and one woman married for life. And it happens.
But it also doesn’t work out for others. Especially for the rich and powerful it seems. Although in our era, it is about every other person you meet.
It is possible to stretch any illustration to extreme limits, Norm.
Let’s suffice to say that Cruz wasn’t as good a general as Trump. And results matter in war and in campaigns.
I disagree. Cruz fired the first round when he told a group of insiders that taking the nomination away from Trump at the convention would be okay. That happened before the first Trump round was fired.
How about door number three: a wife who works for Goldman Sachs.
It’s a way of milking the issue and keeping it from slipping away.
There was a bogus refutation of the Goldman Sachs loan. Greetings Puny Humans deconstructed it quite effectively:

LOL...the Soros meme is sure keeping ‘em busy, today, isn’t it?
(You’ve stirred the hornets nest....by posting a fact, in return :)
I guess paperwork is sooo much more important than things found in Ft. Marcy Park, cattle futures trades, and a long trail of dead bodies.
‘He is referencing Jews. Absolutely disgusting.’
I am certain your claim is bogus, so I’ll add this ...
While Trump Helped Oppose the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, Most Republicans Neutered Themselves, Including Cruz.
AuntB Explains ....

Know who led the fight to build that mosque? GROVER NORQUIST
The guy along with Cesar Conda who owns every open border candidate, especially Rubio. Ted Cruz has also signed Norquist’s ‘pledge’...that means they own Cruz too. Trump has NOT signed it.
The Ground Zero Mosque’s Conservative Supporter
Muslim Brotherhood ally Grover Norquist warns the GOP to drop its opposition.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/69572/ground-zero-mosques-conservative-supporter-ryan-mauro
[snip]am Feisal Abdul Rauf and proponents of his plan to build a 13-story Islamic center near Ground Zero are now being helped by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform and conservative Republican activist. Norquist and his associates are calling on the Republican Party to drop its opposition to the plan, arguing that the GOP is threatening the rights of Muslims and that its criticism will backfire politically.
Norquist and his friends are distributing a letter saying that the Republicans fighting Imam Rauf’s plan are infringing upon religious freedom and are ‘alienating millions of Arab American and Muslim American voters who believe, as we do, in the principles of our partyâ€â€individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.’
Among those signing the letter are Suhail A. Khan, listed as the Chairman of the Conservative Inclusion Coalition and Norquist’s wife, Samah, listed as a Senior Advisor to Arab and Muslim Outreach for the U.S. Agency for International Development under the Bush Administration.
[Unquote. Well done, AuntB]
[ Many patriots, including Trump, fought the mosque and it will not be built. But selling out to Norquist was NOT the way to prevent such a perversion.]
As Trump runs to left, he may lose Iowa which will make him lose Steam going into South Carolina.
We haven’t been dealt the running mate hand yet. I’m unwilling to settle for a poor choice in that regard. The establishment types need to be kept out of the equation.
I won’t support him.
No one has won anything. Yet.
Just stop. You’re using logic and being rational.
