When you push someone who isn’t electable and a Democrat wins as a result, that Dem will appoint as many left-wing, religion-oppressing judges to Fed courts and SCOTUS, you will have more “judicial tyrants” than you can handle!
Supporting a candidate who has a greater chance of electability, and who fights against illegal immigrants (Dem voters in waiting), you are in a BETTER position to fight judicial tyranny.
You mean like Donald Trump?
Trump is ahead in the polls right now because he portrays himself as anti-establishment. But he is slowly revealing himself to be an establishment guy. Surrendering on the Kim Davis issue. Surrendering on Abortion. Surrendering on Gay Marriage.
Most of his statements on issues other than Immigration are muddy at best. He said he is strongly in favor of "Women's Health Issues" as if there is anyone in the race who thinks women should not have access to healthcare. But the term "Women's Health Issues" has become synonymous with support for "A Woman's Right to Choose" (i.e., Abortion).
The more I see of Trump, the more I hear him avoid critical questions or answer them in a vague way, the more I distrust him.
Cruz may not be "electable" but then the Donald Trump who gets elected may not be the Donald Trump you elect. His positions are muddy and inconsistent. We will not know who we elect until he takes office, and frankly what I have seen in the last couple of days makes me very wary of giving him the office.
Even when I disagree with Cruz, he answers the questions that are posed to him and doesn't immediately go on the attack against the one who asked him the question.
As a candidate for the highest office, Trump should be prepared to give unto every man an answer. If he can't answer then he should admit that he doesn't have the answer. That is the honest way of dealing with a "gotcha" question. The Chicken way out is to accuse the questioner of being biased or of throwing out "gotcha" questions.
Ted Cruz does not complain when he is given "gotcha" questions. He doesn't attack the interviewer. He gives straightforward answers and sometimes I don't like his answers, but he doesn't shy away from giving them just because they might upset me.
