Donald Trump, the loud-mouthed, bombastic, tell-me-like-it-is real estate billionaire who remains at the top of the pile in all major national and state-level polls, loves to pick on Sen. Rand Paul. He lashed out at the eye-doctor, constitutionalist and junior senator from Kentucky seemingly out of nowhere in the very beginning of the second GOP presidential debate in Simi Valley, Calif. On the very first question, Trump preemptively blasted Paul without being attacked. "Well, first of all, Rand Paul shouldn't even be on this stage." Trump told the national audience of 23 million Americans. "He's number 11, he's got 1 percent in the polls, and how he got up here, there's far too many people anyway."
I feel the same way about Sen. Ted Cruz, the conservative scion from Texas who is running on an anti-establishment platform and Washington outsider who is willing to take the fight to his own congressional leadership. Cruz isn't lying: in fact, he has hit Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in stump speeches in the past few weeks almost as frequently as the Republican Party's favorite target in Hillary Clinton. Cruz also possesses a voting record in the Senate that is extremely conservative in virtually every area of policy, from taxes and spending to national security.
But, as I have written in the past (first here and then here), his uncompromising voting record and his brash rhetoric (particularly against President Obama) does not serve the country well -- particularly at a time when politics to most Americans already resemble a giant food fight among adults who are dressed in really nice, expensive suits....

Obama has not served the country well. Why should Cruz compromise with broken?
Consider the source.
Cruz sounds like my kind of people!
Sheesh.
The author would prefer an effeminate limp wrist who would assume “downward facing dog” position for our enemies.
“But, as I have written in the past (first here and then here), his uncompromising voting record and his brash rhetoric (particularly against President Obama)...”
Geez - this dweeb from HuffPost makes it sound like this is a bad thing?
To quote the Senator: “If you want another Republican who will go along to get along, I ain’t your guy”.

The author is a joke. Best to ignore ignorance.
Huffington post is a silly place to post from.
This writer reasons like a child.
But then what are progressive but bed wetting hold-my-breath-till-I-get-my-way children?
“...particularly at a time when politics to most Americans already resemble a giant food fight among adults who are dressed in really nice, expensive suits....”
A food fight is putting it mildly. His side, and a lot of people who are supposedly on our side, are actually fine with putting us in jail. The president is openly praising a group that’s actively executing cops. So this political thingy is shaping out to be a real fight, with blood spilling, and all manner of nastiness. Yeah, so I would say Cruz is exactly what we need right now. The left and the oligarchs might be happy keeping us nice and genteel while they divide the spoils of our diminished liberty, but many of us are ready for a fight. We’re not that far off from a real fight, Danny.
And from the article (talking about the Supreme Court):
>>>>>>"interpreted the Constitution as they saw fit"<<<<<<<
Yeah, that...Daniel DePetris just reinforced Cruz' argument. And provides another piece of evidence to me that the current document needs to be replaced with something that won't permit crap like that to happen.
Another Pubbie disqualifies him/herself from the presidency.
snnnnooooooozzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Huffpo considers them all disqualified just because they are still breathing.
Since when was the sitting President ‘off limits’ during a Presidential election?
U.S. History recants raucous Presidential elections, but then American citizens were educated and informed on the issues.
What a joke...they should call it
The Hyperventilating Post.
A few quotes from his Heritage foundation speech.
“We need to elect a president that is as committed to conservative principles as Barack Obama is to liberal principles”
“1/2 GOP SC justice nominees screaming train wreck disasters”
“If you have judges behaving like politicians they can’t expect 2B exempt from the authority of We the People”
“We cannot elect a Republican president who will simply manage the decline of this country.”
The author is an idiot.
“a verification and monitoring system over Iran’s nuclear program that is stronger than traditional arms control deals...”
By who’s standards?
24 day notification....AFTER jumping through several other hoops.
Self inspection?
And he really believes Iran is giving up centrifuges and enriched uranium?
Whatta clown....
