I'm sorry, dear 'pipe, but I'm just not seeing what you're seeing.

I love Cruz — he's my guy. But I could vote for The Donald without holding my nose....

As I would have to do, in the unlikely case that Jeb! wins the nomination.

Trump is exactly right about Jeb!: He doesn't have the energy, the passion, to be president.

I'd say The Donald is an astute reader of a person's character....

The real issue before us is what we get when voting for an approved GOP candidate. Answer: we get the current status of the US of America.

The GOP has capitulated and manipulated its way to the day when its base is totally disgusted with it. I’m one of those totally disgusted millions.

Even with Cruz, you could see the GOP maneuvering to kill him off from day one, and the Bush money and backers were preparing to do scorched earth on him. Scorched earth worked in 2012 and it will still work UNLESS the candidate has the money to fight back.

Enter Trump. He fights back, he can fight back, and he seems to have a gift for picking fights that keep his name in the news.

So, if I want more of the same. More Boehner and McConnell sliminess and deceptive back room dealing; more Corker subverting the Constitution, more Scotus republican appointments putting immorality in my community, more serf immigrants replacing American workers, and more international ownership of the USA through insane indebtedness and traitorous trade deals, then I will rush to the polls to vote for the establishment GOP.

But, if I want to gamble on an outsider like Trump, who isn’t pristine, but appears to be trying, then I will write a post like this and challenge anyone to prove to me why Bush and more of the same is better than gambling on Trump, who just might pick Cruz as his running mate.
