I have no earthly idea…perhaps a cabinet position. That’s just a guess.

If I am for Trump, what is Cruz for having secret negations with Trump as you suggest?

*****************
I didn’t ask you about secret “negations”;; I asked if you were conservative or liberal. Obviously, you don’t need to reply— you can take the 5th.

What about ANYBODY-Trump?

Will is laboriously figuring out what would happen if all the rules were obeyed.

Both Trump and the American mood right now is to the hot place with the rules, we need a genuine hopenchange not this pseudo stuff.

I hope it works!

Hmm, looking at that picture on the site... well... Cruz looks like he would make a great leading actor for the next movie about the life of the late Johnny Cash. Give that man a guitar. He could sing Ring of Fire at his next filibuster of the Senate.

I’d have to hand it to Cruz if he got some gumption to break all the rules in the Senate.

America is tired of “rules” even though it does want law and order. It knows that “rules” as it has them are the furthest thing from what it wants.

OK. Why would Conservative Cruz talk to Liberal Trump? Are you a Liberal?

Purportedly you’re a tech guy— and therefore, I suggested to you that you should read the article because it is about using technology (behavioral micro-targeting) to create voters.

The foundation of Cruz’s plan is that there are a diminishing number of swing voters— so if one wants to create a conservative movement - one must identify and target non-voting conservatives through their spending habits— and then, induce them to vote by tailoring issues that would be of importance to them.

I’m sure Trump and Cruz are in this together.

No, I’m not a liberal. See how easy that is. Now, are you a c-o-n-s-e-r-v-a-t-i-v-e?

Would it be fair to say that Cruz is a liberal then? You have already asked me if I was a liberal if I supported Trump.

That’s fine when you don’t have to finesse your way past a guy who’s singing victory songs to America every day.

The domain is wrong for Will’s vision.

Senators tend not to be executive-type people. They’re busy little bees in their hives.

If they have been Senators for half their lifetime, yes.

But Cruz doesn't fit that profile, does he?

He has to keep on being a senator, is the point.

The persona that might get America going yippee ti yi yo YEEHAW, here is a second Reagan, would go over like a lead balloon in the Senate. It might be better if he quit the Senate, as far as his chances at President are concerned.

Wanted to make sure you guys got to read the article about the intricacy of Cruz’s plan...not every day when George Will sees the error of his ways.

How many liberals support Trump? Name me a few news organizations that do. Are you a MSM person?

I wasn’t interested in Will’s vision. But, it appears your sole concern is the visa thing-— and you are not interested in a conservative movement.
