Yoo is writing about how things should be in the American Republic. But since the Washington crowd long ago disregarded or tossed out much of what the Founders intended, people who have had enough are resorting to anti-establishment candidates as a corrective. I’d like to ask Yoo what kind of article he would write, from the Founders’ point of view, if Hillary were running unopposed and Jeb were running away with the GOP nomination. Would the Founders be peachy with that matchup?

“The Founders would also be aghast at what some of the American people have become.”
Most profound statement of the day.

I’m a reasonable person. I can be persuaded with facts and you have none. All you have is one big pile of Trump B.S. Neither you or anybody else can prove that Trump is going to do any of the things he says. However, we do have Trump himself saying in his own words that he going to violate the US Constitution. Trump has an entire life history of progressive politics and not one single real life example of upholding any conservative principals.

"...The men who met in Philadelphia in 1787 to write a new constitution designed it to prevent someone like from ever becoming president. One of their great fears was of a populist demagogue who would promise the people everything and respect nothing..." EASILY 100 yrs too late. Social Security Income Tax - Chicken in every pot! Welfare 'Equal' Rights - Never work again! EPA TSA DHS - We're from the govt and we're here to help!

First you say "I'm a reasonable person.", then you say "However, we do have Trump himself saying in his own words that he going to violate the US Constitution.".
And you expect anyone to take you seriously? Go back to your echo chamber, I'm sure they all think your swell!

No. It is just that I know who Trump is. You donât.You have a perception in your mind who Trump is. That is your reality.
That it upsets you that others do not share your reality is your problem.

No it doesn’t upset me; it is their problem, which, they will find out soon enough. Nonetheless, mass deception is a sad state of affairs because the cost is so extreme .But that’s the history of the world and it is back.

They would despair over the leviathan that fedgov has become. It is the exact opposite of the system they designed.

mass deception is a sad state of affairsYes, that pretty much sums up the recent state of political affairs. Politicians saying what they have to get elected and then doing nothing once elected or worse stabbing the voters in the back.
Why is Cruz anymore trustworthy than Trump or Rubio?
Spoiler alert: he isn't.

I will certainly not endorse a one of them, but only hesitate not to endorse Cruz. I do find faults with Cruz, but for me at least, he is the only one still in court. Everyone else I have carefully scrutinized, judged, condemned, and sentenced.
