Anyone who was stupid enough to cheer for Obama in 2008 has no business calling himself a conservative in 2016.
But then people change. Yeah. /s
Just my take on things, but there is an election reality that we set aside, but perhaps we don't think of it.
Who, being honest, would say that in 2012, if there had been a real chance at a contested convention against Romney that Freepers would not have been all over that opposing Romney into the convention to the last dying breath. I'm sure we would have. We rejected his beliefs and his government record.
Now, we panic at the fight that's taking place before us. Personally, I would prefer that Cruz continue to keep Kasich from getting delegates, but that he get to the convention and endorse Trump who will be the run away leader in delegates over Cruz.
The reality is, though, that a convention fight DOES present a legal, historical method of acquiring the republican nomination.
I don't fault Cruz supporters at all for wanting to win while there's a dying breath left in them.
Nor do I fault the establishment and Kasich supporters, no matter how liberal I think that man and the other GOP-E candidates are. If they have a means to fight, then by all means, fight. It isn't illegal.
This puts it on the shoulders of Trump to win. His supporters, too, should not be blamed for fighting to win.
And believe it or not, I consider this battle to be just as much a real war as any on a military battlefield. They are playing for control of the nation. If there is intrigue, covert operations, betrayal, and even assault, I would not consider that unusual given that this is a struggle for the helm of the economic and military powerhouse of the world.
That last is why I know God is in the struggle whether for good to the USA or for ill.
Now that it is evident to me that EVERY candidate supports snuffing out innocent life, I'm not terribly excited about any of them.
But, that they fight -- that's not surprising at all. Of course they fight.
