As long as they are giving him print and air time, I figure it’s a good thing. He can more than weather their criticism. It may actually catch the interest of people who haven’t been paying attention. Never underestimate the “rebel factor”. These pundits underestimate the degree of disgust with the status quo in Washington.

“He may be an egomaniac”

That’s certainly the meme. The reasoning seems to be: “gee heez smart”, “he noez heez smart”, “wot an egomaniac”. QED.

We need the following constitutional amendment to make sure that in the future we know as much about presidential candidates as we can.

1. We need to make sure that we don't go through another nightmare like we did with the Obama presidency because no one wanted to dig deep into candidate's Obama background before it was too late, and before Obama locked his personal records like his college records so that no one could find out who the real Obama was or is.

2. I was thinking about this amendment as I was thinking about how the recent suicidal German pilot was legally able to hide his mental problems before it was too late and before he murdered 150 people in the plane crash into the mountain.

3. As we know, United States presidents like Obama have the enormous power to kill many more than 150 people like the German pilot did, so we need to know as much about our presidential candidates like Cruz, Clinton, and Rubio as we can.

Constitutional Amendment, something like this:

"A presidential candidate must provide/release the following records when he registers to run for president in each state:

1. He must provide all physical and mental medical records.

2. He must provide all elementary, high school, undergraduate, and graduate records. "

Absolutely. Now any other conservative can move up in the party leadership by making noises like he or she might follow suit if they do not get something substantial in return.

All these articles have really proven is that the Democrats really, really want Jeb Bush to be the GOP nominee.

“It will never happen,”


They have to keep telling themselves this.
And then it will.

No way would Cruz accept VP on a Bush ticket. He would destroy his credibility and he knows it. The RNC will have to find somebody else if they manage to get Jebster nominated.

Liberals are showing they have no reasoning power and only tired scare tactics.

Pray America is waking

Gil Smart isn't. I say this not based on this single article, but on his body of work in the Lancaster Sunday News. He's a principal reason I don't subscribe to the Lancaster newspaper anymore. This is a typical column, short on facts and long on shallow "analysis". Smart's a legend in his own mind.

I can't wait to see the level of hysteria when Cruz starts to accumulate delegates on his march to win the nomination.

Love the 5 stages, had to post that one on FB, I say they are in the “Anger” stage now.

I also dare say there are many that may never reach the “Acceptance” stage while still of this world...

They've already reached Stage 5.

They have literally come the rest of the way unhinged.

The way I sees it-—Cruz has already won. 1. He gets the nod and runs as the GOP pick or 2. he goes to the debates and forces the party to the right and maybe gets in as VP or 3. He’s knocked out but becomes well know for his views so he can run again in the next cycle—He can’t lose. He becomes a force within the right wing of the Party. He is still a young man—he could be Governor of Texas, or serve in the cabinate of a Republican President. He is the future of the party—like it or not.
