“It’s only words...nothing is going to happen or change. After all, abortion has been legal since 1972 and you can have an abortion up until the moment the baby is born. There have been 40+ years of marches, speeches, etc. and nothing has changed.

Don’t get too excited - it’s only mere words. Cruz can’t do a thing about it.”

Can your boy Walker do anything at this point about the constitutional amendment he’s calling for, or are those just empty words too?

Yes, those are words, too. I like Cruz a lot. In fact, Cruz is my first choice and Walker second. I would be happy with either one. Cruz would be more divisive, but I don't think that is a bad thing. I like Cruz because you know exactly where he stands (unless it's trade). Walker carries a softer stick, but still gets what he wants.

Having written that, I am particularly jaded at this point and I don't think much can be reversed, which is why I made the comment about abortion.

There are not enough principled republicans in Congress to effect change and that does not seem to be changing. It may be nice to have a Cruz or Walker as president, but any change is on the edges, that is about all.
