OMT. You will see in the comming days the swine start brown nosing Trump. They will get on there knees to you know what to make it look like he was their favorite all along.

Watch it start. They know they have to get ahold of the shirt tails of a winner to have any say was-so-ever in the new congress.

“I’m really surprised at the straight reporting coming from CNN and even MSNBC.”

I’m seeing the same thing. They kept pushing back on Amanda Carpenter and SE Cupp...it was great to watch. Cooper never misses a chance to say how Trump always returns their calls for interviews. Him and Smerconish both say Cruz never makes himself available.

I watched King on CNN go through his numbers twice and he has Trump over the mark without PA unbound delegates. But I noticed he kept leaving our WA’s 44 delegates.

Maybe. But its better to be realistic. Better to fight like your behind than play like your ahead. Keep the pressure up, because the swine in DC need to see that they are NOT LIKED AT ALL.

Hmm.  Another whoopin'.  Why is God not favoring this guy?

Maybe it has to do with the notion that God's not on board with the whole "dominionist" thing.

Christian Reconstructionism

An Evaluation from the Theological Perspective of

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

October 2015

History, Beliefs, Practices

Identity:

Christian Reconstructionism, also called Theonomy (“God’s law”) or Dominionism


[snip]

A Lutheran Response
“The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man” (Ps. 115:16).
God appointed men and women as stewards—managers or caretakers—of the earth: “You have given
[man] dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the
paths of the seas” (Ps. 8:6-8). The command to “have dominion” is not given to Christians alone, but to
all people. It is not a matter of political control, but of caring for God’s creation and using its resources to
provide for human needs (Gen. 1:28-29; Gen. 9:1-3).
 
Christians are not called to work for worldwide political dominion. Dominion already belongs to our
crucified and risen Lord, to whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given and who
commanded us to make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:18-20). His worldwide mission is not a matter of
claiming political and economic dominion, but of proclaiming repentance and forgiveness of sins in His
name (Luke 24:46-47).
 
The Lutheran Confessions reject the belief that “before the resurrection of the dead the godly will take
possession of the kingdom of the world, while the ungodly are suppressed everywhere.”15 Christ’s
kingdom is spiritual, but it permits us “to make outward use of legitimate political ordinances of whatever
nation in which we live, just as it permits us to make use of medicine or architecture or food, drink, and
air. Neither does the gospel introduce new laws for the civil realm. Instead, it commands us to obey the
present laws, whether they have been formulated by pagans or by others, and urges us to practice love
through this obedience.”16 The Church, the spiritual power, “should not invade an alien office. It should
not set up and depose kings. It should not annul or disrupt secular law and obedience to political
authority. It should not make or prescribe laws for the secular power concerning secular affairs. For Christ
himself said [John 18:36]: ‘My kingdom is not from this world.’”

Very interesting. I did not know that the Lutherans expressly addressed and rejected Dominionism, which appears to be nothing more than a churchish sounding form of jihad, sporting Christian noise and rhetoric but being in essence, plundering theocracy.

A nice fit with neocon foreign policy though, isn’t it?

Where is the video of Cruz’ remarks after tonight’s results.

Anybody see him or hear audio? Thanks. What the heck could he say tonight? Dying to hear or see him squirm for the nomination in his grasp, right?

“So he took another swipe at the northeast”

What a miserable piece of filth, Rafael Cruz jr is. We live in a big country, and some regional chauvinism is inevitable— and not unhealthy when done in good fun.
But that privilege is reserved for real US citizens.

Smarmy foreigners insulting one part of my country is an insult to the entire country. We welcome this P.O.S and have shown him every hospitality, and he returns our generosity with betrayal and arrogance. This AssHat actually thinks he can come here and turn us against each other...

He is mistaken.

Cruz is a low life POS. A con artist.

Don’t worry, Bill and Hillary have likely already convinced the seemingly ego-maniacal Cruz to make a third party effort—that’s the only reason that the sonovabitch Bill Clinton won both elections (43% in ‘92 and 49% in ‘96) thanks to H Ross.

I disagree, I think he put forth his best effort, and I hope that Ted finds a path that gives conservatism a voice in the coming convention. Unfortunately his best effort wasn’t enough.

At the end of the day, more than half of all primary voters and caucus participants utterly rejected the tray of losers that the GOPe offered the electorate, Jeb’s sitting back at the ranch with little chance to come riding in and save the party.

Credit to both Trump and Cruz for doing what few would have said possible last August.

The only CT folks Cruz knows are the Fairfield County hedge fund managers.

He is clueless about average folks who live here.

California Republicans are as pissed off or even more pissed off than Pennsylvania Republicans. It’s going to be a Trump landslide In the CA primary.

Also, he doesn’t realize that every time he takes a shot at North East voters, he’s taking a shot at Florida’s voters. Florida is the second home to the North East. For a politician who is supposed to be so strategic, he seems to me to be a one trick pony

he’s definitely mistaken.

but more pragmatically, the northeast counts in the primaries!

who shuns a half dozen states?

His plan is to connive and scheme his way in.

never work.

I dont understand all this unbound crap too well, but i think more and more they will go for Trump

There a just a lot less of us.

A lot of “OFF TO FLEE” signs as many headed South over the years.

And then some went to N.H. got wobbly and ruined that state.

I was stuned.

Jedi.

The big myth is that North East conservatives are less conservative than Southern or Western conservatives.

As a New Jersey conservative I will agree. However Northeast republicans (not the same thing as conservatives) tend to be much more moderate than Southern republicans IMHO.
