Of course not. They just care that he is yelling. We live in a world run by reality TV.

trump is sounding more like a liberal democrat

There is good reason for that. Trump is a liberal who registered as a Republican in 2006. He has also said "I probably identify more as a democRAT". It's one of the few thing s he says that is truly believable.

Courts, media and Trump have declared a jihad on Christians.

Isn’t what Trump is saying basically what Cruz has said?

Not at all! Trump is saying basically what Bush, Christie, Fiorina, Graham, and Kasich (and, I'm presuming, Pataki) have said. Cruz, on the other hand, has spoken out strongly in defense of religious liberty and against the unconstitutional Supreme Court decision.

Not such a revolutionary now.

Campaign rhetoric does not outweigh a lifetime of liberal ideals.

Cruz has said he stands with the clerk unequivocally.

And today Cruz is in Texas and the clerk is in jail.

SCROTUS didn’t pass a law, nor do they have ANY authority to; only Congress does. If they did, I missed it.

Good on Cruz, Trump blew it big time. Law of the land baloney ain’t cutting it.

Except it’s not the law of the land. It’s the result of judicial activists unconstitutionally overruling the will of the people.

Bears repeating.

What he said:

““Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny,” Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, said in a statement.”

If this doesn’t show Trump for what he really is to the Trump Bots, then what will?

See you all Tuesday!

Have a good one.

Keep fighting for REAL conservatives, not Trumped Up conservatives.
