I wish Ted Cruz the best, but he better beat expectations in Indiana and California.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 5:49 pm
See, the God is disappointed in you argument is the least sound. God appoints rulers, biblically speaking. So you can blame him for Obama and the current fiasco.

Look at who’s losing her religion…

April 22nd, 2016 @ 6:21 pm
Those in high office, warts and all, may be permitted by the Almighty, but that ain’t no blank check to go jacking about.
The Almighty, if my years of study are correct, served up a free will zone. Everyone will stand and deliver for their deeds.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 6:29 pm
Eh. If you’re waiting on government to save you, you’re going to be disappointed. I’d love to see Mr. Cruz take it. We’ll see come November, though, who God chooses.
Preach the gospel. It’s more rewarding.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 6:31 pm
I like Coulter, but she supported Romney, too.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 6:37 pm
HEAR HIM! HEAR HIM!
April 22nd, 2016 @ 7:15 pm
My point is that I’m unsure God chooses world leaders in an active way, in general. I’d argue that there are plenty of specific Biblical examples, yes, but that the relationship between God and history could be more complicated than we understand.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 7:29 pm
The Bible is pretty clear that God has a direct hand in rulers. Dan. 2:21, Ps. 75:6 & 7. He also directs their actions. Prov. 21:1. Our goal isn’t political. We’re to pray for peace from government. I want a godly government. I want revival. You can’t have the former without the latter.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 7:48 pm
Smitty, without you Twitter would be Twatter.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 7:52 pm
I don’t think our government is more “godly” than the vilest sinner in office.
That is, I’d claim that godliness is an individual matter; our Constitution is more about restraining the flesh than edifying the soul.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 8:30 pm
Actually, she supported Christie first:
April 22nd, 2016 @ 8:32 pm
Yes, let’s vote for loser boy because Smitty got appointed Pope by Al Gore (PBUH)
Or we could realize that Trump has the best ability to break through the Media Wall and actually move things in the right direction. Maybe Cruz is sincere, although he changed his mind yesterday, but will he be able to terrify the media, and actually get a mediot like Kelly destroyed?
No.
So, do we need to slow down with Cruz,or take a chance on turning the right direction with Trump. Remember, we’re going toward a cliff, and while slowing down is a worthwhile goal, its still slow motion doom.
One of the key problems the conservative movement has had is its lack of offensive punch. We defend, we screech at the Lef’t’s latest insanity, and we lose a little bit more each day. We need to attack..
April 22nd, 2016 @ 8:38 pm
Well, if you consider a Big Government (Praise Washington from where all Blessings Flow) rule by decree authoritarian the “right direction” enjoy your Federal Chains. Cruz changed his mind yesterday? Trump has changed his mind repeatedly, over the same thing, on the same day.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 8:41 pm
Fat, thin, in-between, she’ll do any squish Republican
April 22nd, 2016 @ 8:43 pm
Difference is Trump is honestly trying to figure things out. Its called being open-minded. Look it up in a dictionary.
Right direction is as Jerry Pournelle explained returning local control for schools. Also building a Wall.
Problem with the Wall is we know that the Establishment won’t do it. So we need to try something else.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:13 pm
Honesty and Trump do not belong together in sentence. The man could give pointers on lying to Billy Jeff Clinton.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:32 pm
The problem is that the Cruz supporters have the same mentality as Obama’s acolytes. They lap up his Magic Mouth Vomit (TM) and never look at his destructive -actions- because he claims to share their ideology and concerns, when he is only really interested in his own personal advancement. Note the contradiction they’re promoting above, “We need to nominate someone to beat Hillary, so let’s go with the REALLY UNPOPULAR IDEOLOGUE who has a knack for alienating people over time, just so we can feel self-righteous.”
The South has seen plenty of these phony Elmer Gantry political types, which is why they went for a grating self-promoting carnie barker New Yawker like Trump over someone who should have theoretically cleaned up in the Bible Belt.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:45 pm
I don’t trust Fox News or their polling any further than I can kick them. California is still a month and a half off.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:47 pm
Trump? Honest?
Here’s 101 of his lies, and that doesn’t even begin to cover all of them:
http://www.dailywire.com/news/4834/trumps-101-lies-hank-berrien
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:49 pm
I hope you are right…
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:50 pm
You’ve got Cruz and Trump confused there. Trump is the most hated politician in polling history.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:52 pm
That poll has ‘push poll’ written all over it in 7200-point font.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 9:52 pm
Amen. Preach it, brother.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:09 pm
And he’s beating Cruz like a rented mule in the -Republican primary- popular vote, (which theoretically skews more conservative than the general electorate) so my argument is EVEN more reinforced.
Thanks for the assist.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:12 pm
Popular vote doesn’t mean beans. Ask President Gore about that.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:14 pm
You re-run this whole lotta b.s. a lot.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:18 pm
It certainly does when you’re trying to win electoral votes -within- states.
Cruz lost heavily Republican areas to Trump, and he won’t expand the electoral vote counts in purple states, either. Once the pro-Democratic media machine is turned on his already unpleasant personality, he’ll make the Hildabeast look like a cookie-baking grandma.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:30 pm
Trump polls behind Hillary in Utah.
Talk about losing heavily Republican areas.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:31 pm
Smitty/Wombat, this jackass has been following me around like a lost puppydog. Please do me a favor and show it the door.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:31 pm
Well, it looks like President Hillary, then, doesn’t it?
Your alternative to Count Trumpula is a man who can’t even handle a reality-show Harold Stassen, a joke in every cycle since 2000.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:35 pm
I’ll take my chances with a constitutional conservative like Cruz than with a jackhole like Trump.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:37 pm
Good luck with that. It’s now time to look towards cultivating one’s own garden. We’re not getting out of this through a political solution.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:42 pm
And protecting our liberty which is where Cruz comes in…or not.
I don’t know where I stole this quote but
‘The fall of Constantinople is a personal misfortune that happened to all of us only last week.’
I believe we are at a similar moment.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:43 pm
You go around here impersonating me and then creating havoc, calling names, and the like. Grow up.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:48 pm
Almost certainly correct. But if it’s already too late through the ballot box what’s the point of voting at all? I’m not concerned about Trump wanting to kick over the table, I’m simply not convinced he does. Or if he does I’ve no idea what he wants on it when it’s back upright.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:49 pm
Cruz is not a constitutional conservative, but instead a complete whackhjob.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:50 pm
Cruz polls behind Hillary and Sanders nationwide.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 10:54 pm
“But if it’s already too late through the ballot box what’s the point of voting at all?”
Excellent question.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 11:53 pm
Heh. Oh. No wait. You’re serious. Oh dear. We have another confirmed case of an AI trying to pass for human. Sad.
April 22nd, 2016 @ 11:57 pm
The Donald is not a Republican. Can’t undo a lifetime of work with six months of campaigning, especially when your heart’s not really in it.
April 23rd, 2016 @ 12:34 am
Yeah, yeah, heard it all before. But please do continue your worship of the draft dodging fraudster.
April 23rd, 2016 @ 1:45 am
No dear, YOU are the complete whack job, believe me! Ted Cruz is The Leading Conservative in the party and a Constitutional Expert! And YOU are no authority on either of those things!

Of the three Democrats and one conservative running for POTUS, I’ll take conservative Cruz for protecting liberty. Unsure where you’re headed with the innuendo there.
April 23rd, 2016 @ 3:59 am
“Difference is Trump is honestly trying to figure things out.”
Really?
April 23rd, 2016 @ 5:20 am
You Republicans are fools. You finally find a Winner and then spend months bringing him down.
Idiots.
April 23rd, 2016 @ 7:10 am
No, he’s not. All he’s trying to figure out is what’s in it for him.
