But know what the man is before simply accepting happy words we love hearing, lest we have a repeat of the Pillars of Styro and hopenadchange of our own.

But we aren't even hearing the happy words from anyone other than Trump and to some extent Cruz. Trump's the only one who's even talking about seriously improving border security and taking on the one-sided trade agreements.

There is a group of issues that don't fit the old liberal/conservative categories, and large numbers of voters consider those the most important issues.

We should try to elect the one who promises to address our greatest concerns, then work to hold them to it if needed. We sure won't get any improvement in those issues with any of the other GOP candidates or Hillary.

It’s Trumps happy words I’m talking about. He and Cruz are the only two people that matter in this election.

"We should try to elect the one who promises to address our greatest concerns, then work to hold them to it if needed."

No, we should, as thinking conservatives, try to elect the candidate with the most solid conservative record. Promises mean zip.

And we've all seen how effective "holding them to it" is after electing unworthy candidates.
