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.
IMHO, the candidate who will govern closest to the Constitution is Ted Cruz. That’s all I need to know.
