The surging truth-tellers of the GOP (Ted Cruz and Don Trump)
The Washington Times' Pruden On Politics ^ | July 2, 2015 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 07/03/2015 10:22:07 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump is surging in New Hampshire, and Chris Christie’s back on the hunt, sounding like a born-again contender. They’re both long shots — the Donald is off the board — but they’re making the kind of noise the wiseheads say they can’t make.

Bernie Sanders is the October surprise for Hillary, drawing the crowds of autumn a year early, and all the Queen of Avarice is collecting now is the stuff you get on your shoes on a stroll through the barnyard. It’s not a race, not yet, and the Gestapo, some of them decked out in the Nazi regalia available on Amazon, is still out searching for stragglers with a verboten crucifix or an offensive Confederate flag. The president decorates the White House as if it were a billboard, offending millions, and the Gestapo joins the applause.

On the Republican side there’s the usual hunger for a candidate with manly orbs, not someone given to taking one reluctant step forward and then two quick leaps backward, apologizing all the way. Chris Christie, eager to come in from the cold, is staking his resurrection on the proposition that he’s that man.

“If we’re going to lead,” he told a crowd of a thousand last week in his hometown of Livingston, N.J., “we have to stop being loved and start being respected again. I’m not running for president as a surrogate for being elected prom king … there is one thing you will know for sure: I mean what I say, and I say what I mean. And unlike some people who offer themselves for the presidency in 2016, you’re not going to have to wonder whether I can do it or not.”(continued)

Ok, so what are his positions on the latest SCOTUS decisions? What are his foreign policy ideas...other than taking oil and opposing Iraq? Oh, and he can negotiate...

Those are my first issues with Trump...that and the fact that he is a Leftist

I was quite surprised to find block after block of authentic Mexico in Georgia.

All brought to us by government and it's professional politician enablers. They have literally destroyed entire regions, towns and cities.

Never forget what they did to America.

I like it that the Donald speaks the truth regardless of the consequences. He is able to capture enough media coverage to restate his points. Other GOP contenders are not.

As I said earlier, we will be able to tell just how serious Trump is by how quickly he follows up on this breach he has created....

So true. I fear, however, that it will fizzle just like his COLB investigation.

Yeah. If he fizzles here we can chalk him up to just another Perot.
