Trump’s real reason for turning on Ted, other than he was catching him was this: Ted hurt Mitch McConnell;s feelings in that public rebuke. As a former federal worker, I know that it’s not considered “nice” to say anything about your superiors and they can get real nasty about it. However, I think the founding fathers were rejoicing! They surely would’ve stood to say the exact same thing...many of the...had they been alive.
There have been so many times that I’ve wanted to suffer the expense of taking a trip to DC, getting entrance to the Congress, when in a dual session, and read them the riot act. We’d be taken out in shackles and arrested for disturbing the “peace”. We’d not even get a chance, honestly and truthfully. The fact that one of our own Tea Party guys stood FOR us, where we could not, risking his career, and possibly his life was such a thrill to watch that I realized then that Cruz deserved our vote. IS he a perfect candidate? Nobody is, but of the 16 who started, way more morally and fiscally a strong leader, and as Scripture admonishes us...we should elect only godly leaders.
Here is a very good article:
He cannot be a person who listens to lies, for the Bible says, “If a ruler harken to lies, all his servants are wicked†(Proverbs 29:12). Men and women with fortitude and honesty, guided by what is right, make history.’ from Adrian Rodgers, Leadership Crisis in America)
And here’s the whole article: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/love-worth-finding/read/articles/the-leadership-crisis-in-america-part-1-14579.html
Frankly, I detest this House and Senate ‘seniority’ system whereby whomever putz can stay in office longest gets the ‘superiority’ over their contemporaries (and the sentiment of the millions of constituents who expect better).
My assertion is that we have 50 states with 100 Senators and that NO STATE shall take precedence over another. Each state shall be equal in importance and impact - as our founders intended. This seniority system subverts that along with their doggone ‘rules’ enacted extra-constitutionally (i.e., not clearly delineated).
This is why we end up with RINOs, liberal zealots and demented old men and women in charge of the lives of our children and grandchildren so they can have power and control they don’t even know how to handle, frankly.
I’m just sick, sick, sick of it.
