Their escalating hyperbolic rhetoric and the desperate attempts to lure in William Jennings Romney suggest we are already in the final stages of a Trump victory.

I sent the ‘appalling’ bretstephans and email but he won’t care. Just another msm, prick that has never worked for a living.

You know...I've heard every politician my entire adult life talk about cutting "waste and fraud," but when Trump tells his Ballroom Chairs Story I believe he might actually do it.

We had a great opportunity to make the teeniest dent in this by chopping the Export/Import Bank. Nothing. Cruz voted for it, I think.

No he voted against its reauthorization. That was when he called out McConnell on the Senate floor for being a liar.

Good. But I’ll say again, a leader has to lead. He should be able to put together a coalition of 30 “conservatives” who for one reason or another would have voted against this. Maybe it fails, but if you can get 30 senators on something, you then really have a voice.
