I’d love to support either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump for POTUS ... and I’m a staunch Ted Cruz campaigner.
Why ?
We all want a BIG Wall with Mexico.
We all want to cancel ObamaCare.
We all want to scrap the Iran Deal.
We all want to rebuild the U.S. Military.
We all want to ship Syrian Islamic Terrorist Refugees back to the Middle East.
We all want to protect the Second Amendment.
We all want to fix the Veteran’s Admin health care system.
We all want to delete Common Core.
We all want to exterminate ISIS.
We all want to stop Islamic Visas into America until we get a better handle on accurate screening processes.
Need I continue ?
The acrimony between political camps at Free Republic is downright assinine (sp) and stupid.
How about we just let the Iowa and New Hampshire voters do their primaries ?
Thank GOD that neither Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Lindsay Graham, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney or John Kasisch will win ANY 2016 GOP state primaries.

I’ll take either one or both, ideally 8 years of Trump/Cruz followed by 8 years of Cruz/Whoever.
Also nothing on there for old-fart liberals like Trump, either.
Any effort to reform the presidency needs two things: a cooperative president, which we haven’t had, because they lust for ever more power, or at least believe that *they* are different, that *they* can use it wisely. And it also needs a congress of the same party as the president, that does *not* allow the minority party to block every substantive reform (think Mitch McConnell).
Cruz voted for the money to build the Wall. Trump is pushing the Touchback amnesty program.

Hunker down, it’s only going to get worse. (If past elections are any measure.)
Beautiful summation
My only concern with Cruz is that he might be willing to fall into the old inside the beltway ‘go along to get along’ rut.
That would be a profound disappointment and betrayal if Ted became an inside the beltway character. It is contrary to the tactics of the man who "shut down the government" called McConnell out for lying to his own party and is known a an uncompromising principled conservative.
On the other hand, it is what I expect out of a "deal-maker" and a man who changes core beliefs, parties and wives. Would anybody feel betrayed if the populist reached across the isle more often than McCain?
Had the post thought about the headline, were there no necessity to abolish, bar or change, we wouldn't need an election.
