I hope you’ll agree with him when he is sworn in in January 20, 2017!

The nation won’t mean jack if it doesn’t have an underpinning iof mited government and separation of powers as the framers intended. Russia has plenty of nationalists. Every country on the globe does.

What makes American nationalism unique is it’s philosophical foundation. You can be a socialist and be a nationalist absent that understanding. So a nationalist who ISNT a conservative is useless.

Trump doesn’t need to falter; he never rose significantly. His numbers have been fairly static, and will remain so, as Cruse blasts by.

I think when Trump comes to grips with this fact, he will make the jump to the Dem side, where there is a vacuum forming as Hitlery and Bernie continue to stumble.

>> “we are at a point where the nation may not exist in 4 years if something drastic does not happen.” <<

.
Thus no Cruz, no nation!

No one else is capable of knowing how to make anything happen. Cruz has already completely outlined his first year in office.

LOL, now THERE'S a theory!

Well, Ted, it’s like this ...
First you have to be able to at least say the phrase “DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS” ... But I do understand why you will never utter those words. Amnesty by any other name - even a clever “conservatively” spun version - is still amnesty.

Oh, and please do tell what you have actually ACCOMPLISHED in the Senate - besides giving all those wonderfully delivered “conservative” lectures to your fellow Senators. Oh, that reminds me ... I noticed that C-SPAN never panned the cameras to see who was actually in the Senate chamber to witness your rhetorical mastery. Perhaps there was nobody else present but you and the recorder? Did any of those great conservative bills, of which you were sponsor or author, actually get past Reid or McConnell? No? Gee, that’s a shame - but I guess it will be different once you secure the GOP nomination; and I am absolutely positive the establishment good ol boys will then hate your guts much less, and they will most certainly do as you command. Yup, and you can take that to the bank!

BTW, Ted, speaking of banks ... It is rather embarrassing that, while you are a sitting Senator, having power to affect banking and finance law, your wife is high up on the Goldman Sachs ladder in Houston ...

You know - the same Goldman & Sachs that serves as a revolving door between the White House, the Congress, and Wall Street? Yes, THAT Goldman & Sachs - the most corrupt, most leveraged financial institution in the country (500:1 derivatives exposure) - THE poster child for “crony capitalism” ...

Oh, yes, I know - she took a “leave of absence.” Well, how convenient for you, Senator. I’m sure that she had absolutely no influence on any of your votes ... Just as I am certain that, once you are safely ensconced in the BIG CHAIR by your “handlers,” Heidi will be back on the job, and there will be absolutely no conflict of interest (chuckle - snort - guffaw!). Yep we are absolutely assured that you are the true “conservative” choice. Uh-huh, yep, 100 percent behind ya, Ted.

Oh, BTW Ted, and excuse me for asking, but ... Since, as of 2014 (long after you ran for and got elected to the U.S. Senate) you are no longer a Canadian citizen ... Did you ever find those naturalization documents? You know, Ted, that Senator eligibility thing is in the Constitution too - but I know you know that, eh?

Wow. You must live in Colorado - where the wild wood weed is plentiful.

Yes, because Cruz made so much happen in the Senate.

I agree Cruz is the true conservative, but not so sure Trump will flounder. Cruz’ strategy is sound, though.

My only hesitation with Cruz has nothing to do with getting elected, only how effective he would be as Prez. It has no basis in logic or evidence, just in intuition that Trump’s personality and will can produce results that we desperately need.

I was being tongue-in-cheek, there. How some might “explain away” why he didn’t win on the national stage.

Not if your target audience has an IQ above Room Temperature.

“Enforce all existing laws” means exactly the same thing, but doesn’t giv the MSM an opening for attack to startle low info votors like yourself.

Tell us more about your “wild wood weed,” it might explain much of what you post.
