Trump or Cruz? Why is the GOPe lining up behind Trump and going hard against Cruz?
Simple. Ask yourselves this. What happens after either of them is in the office? After Trump the size of government wouldn’t have changed. He would be a much better manager of the government and of the economy. Polls would show a much greater confidence in the government. The next President who is a Democrat or liberal Republican would take on the reigns and it’s back to business as usual. Whatever Trump has done will be easily undone.
After Cruz, he will usher in a conservative era in governance. He will line up the government to serve conservatism, quickly undoing Obama’s executive orders, and reducing the power of the central government with power shifting toward the states. HE WILL HELP OTHER CONSERVATIVES BE ELECTED TO CONGRESS!
Now do you understand why the GOPe will even go for Trump just to stop Cruz? The next President after Cruz will see a weakened central government and a more conservative GOP in Washington. I beseech those of you who are true conservatives, Cruz is the first real principled one who we have seen in Washington for a long time. Don’t miss this opportunity to break what he calls the “Washington cartel”!
Much of what Obama has done is like a severed artery.
ALL ELSE MUST WAIT.
And the fault that we are in this position, is that of the Dems, of (I assume) Karl Rove, and the GOPe who lied through their foul teeth about opposing Obama.
The difference between Trump and Hayek's The Road to Serfdom is that we are not searching for "A Strongman who will Make Things Work" (TM). We are looking for someone to restore America to at least a place of relative safety, even if tenous, from which we can begin to work.
Cruz will face more opposition to his agenda from the GOPe in Congress then Obama ever did; with the press eager to prove (over Cruz's political fate) that they "are NOT" lapdogs...(they're just lapdogs for Marxists and Muslims).
Trump will face less opposition; is impervious to the press, since he follows the Gorilla Mindset, and "SJWs always lie" antidote of never apologizing; *and* he has broad populist appeal: NOT for "give us more goodies" but "For God's sake, somebody burn these leeches off of me."
Cruz *is* the fallback position if The Donald suffers a "mysterious plane crash" during the campaign, though.
