Actually, I do not have any blind loyalty to Cruz and think he played his cards badly in the end. But he is a heck of a lot better than the rinos when it comes to legislations.

My loyalty is to the constitution. Sorry, but you need to see the bigger picture. The base of this party has never in its history blindly followed a leader like the dems do. If you do not follow through with promises they walk...."read my lips"....a fabulous history lesson of who the republican base actually is. If the base were easily led they would be dems with the constant propaganda we are deluged with daily. Why do you think there are people in the dem power structure that actually think republicans need killing? We are not easily controlled lemmings, we stick out as sore thumbs to them because we bucked the programming. You either understand your base and cater to it or you fall apart.

Yes, since republicans control the House, Senate and the Presidency Trump will get blamed for the rinos betrayal of him with these bills that do not let him keep his campaign promises in a big way. Trump is either going to have to campaign openly against the rinos betraying the party and Trump or he will be tagged with the betrayal.

Riding the Trump high was great.... but there comes a time for reality or drowning and the water is rising fast. If Trump does not succeed then the US is destroyed. It matters that he get it right and that is why your base is complaining and getting mad. You either hear or blindly ignore and call them names, talk down to them or demand they be lemmings, pissing them off even more.

Your reply would have been better if you left out the first two words and capitalized Please.

Taking the Lord’s name in vain is not wise and it’s unnecessary.

You are correct. I should not have read it so fast.

I agree with Rand except for the “military industrial” part. Given the threat that China, Iran, the Norks, and other bad actors pose, and the degradation of the military during the Obamination of Desolation period, we must rebuild our military.

Other than that, Rand is right that one would have assumed this bill was written by Dims.

I stand corrected :-) there comes a time when one gets so fed up seeing hero worship so reminiscent of the 8 years proceeding under Obama and better yet from so called conservatives that enough is enough.

“please give up the Cruz this and Cruz that bogey man memes anytime something is stated perceived as being anti hero worshipper or remotely holding someone to their word or account. THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER! The only ones hell bent on reminding us what occurred during the primaries are those who make their attachment to the man more strongly than they do their conservative principles.”

Well said. I don’t care for the cult of personality that some seem to have. All these guys have feet of clay. Praise them when they do something right and criticize them when they do something wrong.

“Nonsense, the republicans are playing 6 D Multidimensional Layered Extraterrestrial Chess. It only looks like we are losing.”

Excellent. I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning.

Your frustration is appreciated. I’m frustrated too.

Too many lobbyists and too much big donor money corrupting the House and Senate.

Rand is right. No amount of spin will make the funding of planned parenthood ok. He’s supposed to be a team player as the republicans drag us to Hell? I don’t think so.
