The reality is that we are seeing right now a movement in regards to Trump.

I just watched Cruz on Wallace this morning . He seemed so desperate , a little freaked out , feckless . Sad ....
I truly hope he does not so damage his reputation that he cannot find a further role in serving our country . Maybe he can join the military and become a JAG ?

to an outfit that publishes some very leftist, liberal papers

OCR has been drifting sometimes from conservative to ‘moderate’ for quite awhile anyway

but now?

we will see....

Yes, boss, I read the whole thing. It was stupid. GOPe wants Ted to win the nomination and lose the general to kill conservativism.

Interesting collection of observations with no apparent bias. Carl M. Cannon appears to be more of a newsman than an opinion columnist. Refreshing change from George Will! ;-)

The final paragraph is powerful if one considers that the "Progressive" dream--whether held by Democrats or Republicans--is that no citizen will be elected to the Presidency who will demand a return to the Constitution's strict limits on the role and limits of power in government.

Coincidentally, we all know that Andrew Jackson was ceremoniously demoted from his position on the currency. Perhaps, with time, students won't even be allowed to read his powerful statements on central banking or on the Constitution.

Let's just review a couple here.

From Page xv of "Our Ageless Constitution," here are excerpted words from President Andrew Jackson's Proclamation of December 10, 1832:

"We have received it [the Constitution] as the work of the assembled wisdom of the nation. We have trusted to it as to the sheet anchor of our safety in the stormy times of conflict with a foreign or domestic foe. We have looked to it with sacred awe as the palladium of our liberties, and with all the solemnities of religion have pledged to each other our lives and fortunes here and our hopes of happiness hereafter in its defense and support. Were we mistaken, my countrymen, in attaching this importance to the Constitution . . .? No. We were not mistaken. The letter of this great instrument is free from this radical fault. . . . No, we did not err! . . . The sages . . . have given us a practical and, as they hoped, a permanent* Constitutional compact. . . . The Constitution is still the object of our reverence, the bond of our Union, our defense in danger, the source of our prosperity in peace: it shall descend, as we have received it, uncorrupted by sophistical construction, to our posterity. . . ."

*Underlining added for emphasis

________________

Yet, Jackson's wise caution in the following words, reminds us of the unique perspective early generations of Americans possessed on the Source and meaning of our Constitution's protections for liberty, as well as the need for each generation's responsibility for defending and protecting it:

“It is from within, among yourselves--from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power--that factions will be formed and liberty endangered. It is against such designs, whatever disguise the actors may assume, that you have especially to guard yourselves. You have the highest of human trusts committed to your care. Providence has showered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it for the benefit of the human race. May He who holds in His hands the destinies of nations make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed and enable you, with pure hearts and pure hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time the great charge He has committed to your keeping.” ― Andrew Jackson

All of them start with the assumption – one bolstered by mock matchups in the polls – that the former secretary of state will trounce either Trump or Cruz in November.

Might as well stop right there. Trump is back within 3 points in the polls and he's only just begun going after Hillary. Like one Dem strategist pointed out, Bernie never really went after her, but Trump will "take a wire brush to her". "Crooked Hillary" is a kill shot that will last forever.

Yep they would rather lose with Ted to dispel the reality of a Republican Party that is no longer conservative and that a "conservative" candidates loss would further the narrative that their being no t conservative enough is not the case.

On the other hand they don't want Donald Trump because he most likely would win and their jig would be up threating their control of power.

Yes I read every word, and it is clear the Repuglicrats are dead to me. These aholes hate conservatives more than they hate liberals, heck they support all the liberal ideas.

I wouldn’t doubt that most of the fraudulent reports and hit pieces on Cruz come from the Repuglicrats. Taking over this corrupt pile of steaming excrement isn’t worth it. They party needs to die, and the best way to do that is elect Trumpdick. By electing that festering sore we will closer to killing the GOP forever.

“Their hope is that it would be the end of Ted Cruz, and the end of this fanciful notion that the Republican Party somehow isn’t conservative enough.”

Maybe they won’t read it all but, maybe they will read the last line if I quote it.
