Tulsa, would be the BUCKLE on the Bible Belt. Trump did very well in a recent visit at the Oral Roberts University Arena... But Ted Cruz has the organizational gifting to get precint chairs and key positions filled with his supporters. Either way works well for the people in Tulsa.

I know this is meant to be a cutting anti-Cruz/Pro-Trump remark about how this doesn’t matter even enough to be worth mentioning because your guy didn’t win it, but it doesn’t really work. Good try though.

It’s comforting for us fundamentalists that we have brothers and sisters who are with us. Even if we are a minority.

All viewpoints counter to those of P.Trump Barnham must be summarily dismissed and ridiculed.

Didn't you get the Memo? Values are not to be discussed any longer. Christians are easily swayed fools. Big money is evil unless owned by a reality TV star. The constitution is a nice notion, but doing deals that are great is better. Even if you don't know what might be given away. Rudeness and Bombasticness, Platitudes and Hyperbole for All!

That is what FR is becoming.

Pretty good assessment. FR once stood for the right to life, liberty and property. A thing of the past. I think our time has passed. Reality show conservatism has won the day.

Sadly, has been "becoming" for some time.

Seems the Bombaster' has tipped the scales - No matter what he says or does - it's excused.

This is not the FR I joined and respected.

I hope to God that it doesn't stay like this for much longer.... :-(

Just because you are not getting your own way. That is kind of sad.
