Thomas Sowell Endorses Ted Cruz
Ricochet ^ | 2/16/16 | Claire Berlinski, Ed.

Posted on 02/16/2016 5:33:10 AM PST by TBBT

Noting with sorrow Justice Scalia’s death, Sowell begs his readers to sober up:

The vacancy created on the Supreme Court makes painfully clear the huge stakes involved when we choose a President of the United States, just one of whose many powers is the power to nominate justices of the Supreme Court.

After enumerating these, and indirectly reminding readers that the next president is apt to be a wartime president, he makes his views about Trump perfectly clear:

Against this background, the frivolous rhetoric and childish antics in the televised political “debates” are painful to watch. If ever there was a time to choose a president with depth, rather than glitter or glibness, this is it.

Trump’s behavior is often that of an “overgrown spoiled brat,” he remarks:

If, by some miracle, Trump became president, what kind of president would he be? Do we need another self-centered know-it-all in the White House to replace the one we have now?

that’s what I said way back weeks ago in Iowa.. if all Cruz can look forward to are evangelicals to eek out his wins then he is a for sure loser in a general election.. might as well be a Pat Robertson

Sowell was never pro Trump. Rush still is. Levin is not.

Interesting question given that Trump is much closer ideologically to McCain and Romney than Cruz ever has been,.

I know, don’t bore you with the facts.

you are a genius at avoiding the topic at hand. I understand it....the topic at hand, like many, embarrasses your cause....thus, for your self preservation, you avoid it at all costs.

Rush sounds fairly pro Cruz to me, he’s just not gone anti Trump.

You are absolutely correct. I am exactly the voter profile that the Cruz campaign is targeting. It is NOT working.

Explain yourself. Thank you.
Thank you for asking that question. I immediately had the same thought.

I think he’s being deeply sarcastic, cynical about anticipated Trumpbot responses. He seems to be a Cruz supporter.

I respect Cruz for many things. I do think he is more conservative than Trump but I don’t think he can beat Hillary or Sanders.

His Beck trend concerns me. His vote for TPA concerns me. His ability and commitment to reducing the illegal alien population concerns me. His preaching in church while campaigning concerns me. But if he wins the nomination, I’ll vote for him.

Just look at the RCP graphics Trump’s trend line going up
and Cruz trends down to Rubio.

I think Rush senses that Trump may win and since he is a friend of Trump, he just might get another invite the the White house.

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President

McCain cannot help us unite. He can't deal with racism issues properly. The only choice is to vote for CLAYTON BIGSBY.

Sowell, Levin, Beck and Rush are all RINOs!!!!

Trump is the only conservative, even though he’s always been a New York liberal.

In fairness, Trump said no SENATOR had endorsed Cruz. I believe that statement is correct.
