—But Cruz has his detractors. US Rep. Tom Rice (R), who represents the Myrtle Beach district, told Politico, “I think Ted Cruz may be a little too extreme.” Adds Waring, “A lot of strategic thinkers seem to be concerned that he’s not enough of a uniter,” says Waring. “His conservative purity comes at too high a cost in terms of the average voter.”—

You are in error, Mr. Rice.

“A lot of strategic thinkers seem to be concerned that he’s not enough of a uniter,”

Translation: Some of the people at my country club, Episcopalian Church and old law firm are scared of him and like Jeb.

StupidSpeak: "not enough of a uniter" really means the GOPe can't get on board but everyone else can get on board.

StupidSpeak: "his conservative purity comes at too high a price" really means the GOPe would have to admit that social issues are just as important as the economical issues.

You either want to put this country back to where it was or you don’t, if you are of the mind that Ted Cruz is too extreme, then you don’t.

Oh, like Obama, the great race healer? The calmer of oceans? Faugh.

Unity is now completely impossible, thanks to the satanic left wing's domination of the past century since Wilson, with two exceptions: Eisenhower and Reagan. I would include much of the two Bush's decisions in that.

The best a president can now do is to try to undo some of the levers of destruction, such as:

• eliminate redundant, unnecessary or subersive sections of government,

• ask for everyone's resignation across the board when taking office and only put back those persons who have a hope in hell of acting like patriots,

• appoint patriots to the Pentagon and DOJ,

• task the AG to create nationwide directives to correct the systematic abuses that have destroyed public trust,

• present the legislature with a short list of major corrective measures expected of them,

• eliminate any government funding for anti-Constitutionalist groups like the ACLU,

• slash the Department of Education's control over the local education of children and redirect its funds and purpose to programs to de-indoctrinate and re-educate the entire public in how our system is supposed to operate (with a time limit until the department is eliminated completely),

• make an Executive Order on Day One eliminating most of the Executive Orders of the past administration, and

• create legislation requiring every Senator, Congressperson, Federal Judge and official of the FBI, CIA, Cabinet and State Department to take classroom instruction and pass a qualifying exam in the Bill of Rights, Constitution and Federalist Papers, with their grades read into the Congressional Record.

The next president must "not come to bring peace, but the sword."
