Anyone who thinks Romney and Cruz are comparable is smoking some pretty strong weed. Romney didn’t TRY to present a message. How could he? He had already passed legislation in Mass doing most of what Obama wanted to do.

Trump? I’ve vote for him over Hillary in a heartbeat, but I don’t trust him on anything. In office, I think he’ll turn into a bombastic Mitch McConnell, making “deals”...the art of the deal.

I just made a post showing reservations about Trump.

I will defend him on this. When he makes a deal with Democrats, and he might, he is NOT going to do it starting out at his preferred position. He will want a 50 foot wall, and settle dor a 30 foot wall, just as Reagan wanted a 30% income tax cut and setled for a 25% income tax cut.

That is the art of the deal, and one that I expect Trump toget right on those issues that he stakes a position on (wall, moratorium, simplified taxes, treatment of vets).

He won't be great on social issues, and he isn't going to cut down entitlements in any meaningful way. To his credit, he has never said he would. He's running as Trump, and he'd win the presidency as Trump.

I too would support Trump over Hillary. I get the sense Trump is almost an old fashioned Democrat. Politically (not personally mind you) he's a bit of a Teddy Roosevelt or JFK type. He loves America and I think he really does want to see America succeed, but he's not the Liberty loving conservative like the founders of this country were.

This country is going downhill so fast I only hope Trump understands how hard we have to put the brakes on if he is in charge. If we don't kill Obamacare, Common Core, and reign in spending we will be telling American children two generations from now about what Freedom means and what America was, and they won't believe us because of what their schoolteachers say. Time will tell.

Ted Cruz could give Patrick Henry a run for his money as to who is more radical and that's why the insiders in Washington hate him. He did one deal and got burned called the John Boehner the lying weasel he is and has not tried to make any deals since. That in my mind says a lot about the character of Ted Cruz.

Crack is more like it.
