This website has become a mess, not a thoughtful discussion forum for talking about what our Republic really needs.

What we don't need is a candidate who has flip-flopped continuously thru out the election and is sponsored and funded by the GOPe...

Being a conservative anti-America globalist does not give Cruz any points in my book...

Trump is just the man you described.

And as for Trump/Kasich. I can handle for one of these guys separately (even as Cruz is my choice), but that COMBO almost would push me to the NeverTrumpNeverKasich camp.

Can’t do both of them at this point!!

Calling Cruz an "anti-American globalist" doesn't give YOU any points in my book....so, you sort of make my point for me--to wit: This website has become a mess, not a thoughtful discussion forum for talking about what our Republic really needs.

You also declared that Cruz has

flip-flopped continuously thru out the election

In the first place, I think you have drastically overstated Cruz's "flip-flopping" and completely overlooked Trump's most of Trump's flip-flopping life--not to mention Trump's incessant walking back of sundry statements during the campaign.

Fair enough? I think so.

You also declared that Cruz is

sponsored and funded by the GOPe

Cruz and the GOPe comprise strange and likely very temporary bedfellows. Cruz is not stupid enough to reject the old-line GOP guys' help. (After all, Cruz is running as an Republican and has to play by ironclad Party rules.) To his further credit, Cruz pointed out that he was not involved in trashing Melania Trump.

The take-home point is that you are just insinuating that Cruz is a sell-out to the dastardly GOPe, whereas I would respond that there is no evidence of that. (Trump has been playing you--by incessantly and falsely charging Cruz, for example, of cheating.)

The GOPe has held its myriad of blue-blooded noses and reluctantly backed Cruz in the hopes that Cruz can force a brokered convention--perhaps even enabling GOPe guy like Kasich or to slip in (although they are surely realizing that these plans were naïve).

If you think the GOPe really likes Cruz, you are dead wrong. They don't like anyone outside of the Old Boys Network.
