Conspiracy Guy’s stupidity knows no boundaries. It is sort of a stupidity big bang that just keeps expanding. What? The word is Cupidity? I rest my case.

I like Ted Cruz's idea on slowing down just about everything on President Cartman

"Ted Cruz’s line on this is the most interesting. To me, it sounds like he’s calling for this to be a variant of Rob Tracinski’s “Amnesty Fight Club” tactic: turn it into a fight over nominations and funding for agencies, not one that goes toward a shutdown but one that gets into the weeds of internal Beltway fights. The more this is a fight about executive overreach and not immigration, the better for Republicans, and most of them know it. "

I shudder to think what will happen if she gets her party’s nomination.

She's not going to get her party's nomination.

The Democrat base and the Democrat money machine are sick and tired of the Clintons.

Barring some murderous revelation about Elizabeth Warren between now and the Dem Convention, Warren will be the nominee.

And she is far more radical and dangerous than Hillary, hard as that is to say.

I heard one of our fireman who works for the state is on a plow as I type clearing roads in your neck of the woods. He’s been gone since this thing started.

Lizzie and her tin ear. She will scare the voters more than Hillary. But let’s recall....I was wrong about Obama - TWICE. So, what do I know.

Barroke Obeyma has a proclivity towards cupidity of income of the masses.

We have laws. They could set different quotas for different countries and still take in lots of legal immigrants. The framework is there. Why not? Because, illegal immigrants vote Dem, that’s why. It’s all about their cupidity. Power just brings the money to them. DC is all about power and money. They need the votes to get it all, and Americans are not turning Dem so the votes must come from somewhere.

We got to get better at framing that:

House passes funding bill our King doesn’t like.
Senate passes same funding bill.
Then our king vetoes it.
That would be the king shutting down the government.

Although I doubt it comes to that as the emerging Cruz strategy is more subtle.

I don’t think it will shut down, but Obama will be cursing them in the Oval office.

Exactly, they need to frame Obama as the one who is obstructing and unreasonable.

That’s what I’m thinking. Not about your tin ear, but how 50+% of the electorate twice bought into Obama’s pitch for grievance, envy, dependence and imperial dishonesty.

They are probably ready for the same from a rich lunatic Harvard Stalinist.

I like all of those ideas so far. Cruz is a champion debater and he knows how to win an altercation.
