Cruz would be the President and not on the receiving end of tremendous pressure to conform to the C of C in return for guaranteed wealthy futures. A new Congressmen in either house gets to DC and is shown a future that is full of money and perks on the once side and limited to his salary on the other with guarantee that the Organization will spend a lot of money and effort to beat him in the next election. And if he chose the golden road and loses his next election his future is still assured by the CofC. A small number resist the gold, a very small number.

NO SANTORUM....20 YEARS AGO RICK SANTORUM CAMPAIGNED IN IOWA FOR THE SHORT LIVED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY OF ARLEN SPECTER.....

As for Toomey, after the Connecticut and South Carolina shootings he pushed for anti-Second Amendment legislation.

We need a replacement.

On Tuesday, the signature collection begins here in PA for April 26th Primary candidates including delegate candidates.

The GOP Establishment runs pretty much a beauty contest primary for POTUS that this time for the first time will be linked to winning 14 delegates, but 54 of the 71 delegates are linked to 18 Congressional Districts (3 to a district) with separate delegate elections and the rules state all candidates are listed “Uncommitted” totally confusing the voters.

Its designed that way to elect cronies of the GOPe who will only support a RINO POTUS candidate in the end, its the PA GOP tradition.

The only way a Cruz or Trump can win the thing is to sign up 54 delegates in the 18 districts and promote the heck out of them to voters in 18 separate campaigns alongside the beauty contest one before the April 26th Primary.

“Who cares if Toomey loses? I do not. Admiral Sestak will be good on veterans’ issues as will Tammy Duckworth in Illinois.”

You do know you’re on a conservative forum, do you not? Have you bothered to pay attention to Sestak’s policy positions? The guy is as far to the political left as Obama.

If its the two of those guys, Toomey vs. Sestak I’d write in a name or vote for a third party conservative candidate.

Sestak is a Clintonic Democrat who got demoted to Rear Adm. and dismissed right after his promotion to Vice Adm.

There was something funny going on at the end of his career in the Navy.

I notice your posting history seems exclusively dedicated to destroying the GOP. Coupled with your support of democrats in the upcoming senate races, you seem like you’d be more at home in the DUmp.

Sestak is the Navy’s answer to Wesley Clark.
