But Churchill prevailed in the end, because he had the truth on his side...Just as Cruz will ultimately prevail. So long as he sticks to his guns. This is a long war, folks.

Exactly right. Principled conservatives need to recognize this, and to recognize that the establishment Republicans are the heart of the problem. There will always be a leftist party -- human nature, unfortunately, causes many people to fall for the deception. What is inexcusable is to allow leftists within a purported opposition party.

Ignore the phony R/D ratio. It is irrelevant. The only relevant question is: how can the Republicans be morphed into an effective opposition force? The obvious answer is to oppose, both in primaries and the general election, any liberal with an R next to their name. Do that, and the war becomes winnable. Don't do that, and the war is lost.

When people finally see the Cluster-you-know-what that ObamaCare is, they will remember the Cruz was the only one with the guts to fight it.
