My rule of thumb is that if I agree with a candidate 100% of the time, somebody is lying. Either the candidate is lying to me or worse, I’m lying to myself.

Cruz has a smudge and trump has a couple flecks of paint remaining.

The old saw goes, we get the government we deserve.

We love to sit in our armchairs and criticize the likes of Mitch McConnell and John Boehner but perhaps we ought to acknowledge a simple fact, these men accurately judge the temper of their constituents and the needs of their financial supporters and prevail while we movement conservatives fail to support genuine conservatives and instead go a whoring after a media confection.

Whatever government a Donald Trump would deliver we can count on the fact that it will not be consistently conservative nor will it create a legacy upon which conservatism can grow.

Perhaps it is not just Joe sixpack who gets the government he deserves perhaps we who presume to count ourselves among the well-informed get what we deserve. At least Joe sixpack gets what he thinks he wants while we get smoke blown.

for all practical purposes, if push comes to shove, I can see either Trump or Cruz throw their support to one another in order to deny Bush or Kasick the nomination.
Tell me where I’m wrong.
