We get it. John Boehner doesn’t like Ted Cruz. In a witless cheap shot, Boehner called him “Lucifer in the flesh” at an event at Stanford University. Boehner’s attitude is widespread among Republican insiders who are foolishly allowing personal ill will to cloud their reasoned judgment about who, among the candidates left in the GOP race, is the best representative of conservative principles and policies, and about who would be the best candidate in the upcoming general election.
On both counts, Cruz is the obvious choice. Ted Cruz is a constitutional conservative dedicated to reducing the outsized federal government to its proper size and functions, and to restoring to the states and the people as much freedom as possible. This has been the core of his message throughout his career, and throughout this campaign. Cruz is an outspoken opponent of abortion, a dedicated defender of the constitutional right to religious liberty, and a staunch advocate of the right to keep and bear arms — positions that he has considered carefully and that he can defend articulately. He has assembled a thoughtful, capable team of advisers to guide him. If he were president, we would have a good shot at getting a stronger economy, a Supreme Court with a less grandiose conception of its role, a less centralized health-care system, and a more sensible foreign policy.
And he is a disciplined candidate who has built an impressive campaign operation. Head-to-head polling shows him running within the margin of error against Hillary Clinton.

I love the “Trump is an outsider” argument. When politicians pour taxpayer money into the trough they always fill their cup, through sweet heart deals, tax abatemens, etc, Trump has been filling his bucket.

Mitch McConnell’s Attorney PAC ‘Stand For Truth’, Sending Money To Ted Cruz PAC ‘Keep The Promise III’…
The eye opener was the revelation that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was supporting Ted Cruz all along. Which, against current information, solidifies the basic principle the entire Cruz -vs- McConnell dust-up was a staged event for public consumption in order to hoodwink conservatives. (more on that later)

Kasich "Pinto"?
Cruz "Stork?"
No matter who wins, K Street will do just fine, they always do.
I think the saying, “Takes one to know one,” applies here.
Putting Cruz aside, it is telling that Bonehead is appealing to students at Standford. Tells me Boner was and always will be a liberal RINO.
He IS the establishment, which is why the GOP is lining up behind him right now. All blather and no substance. What have we done?
LOL!!! It’s Seattle Grunge :-)
Yeah, because any time Lucifer is on the ballot he should be given the benefit of the doubt. Excuse after lame excuse. Next!
(BTW - Trump sent money to Hillary, Reid, and Pelosi - what exactly does that mean?)
