The pigressive left must be enjoying every moment of conservative disunity and can be expected to be helping it along whenever the orrortunity arises.

Is this a great primary season or what? Seldom before has the debate among Republicans -- and even among conservatives -- been so heated. Donald Trump has his die-hard fans, Trumpkins. Other conservatives are solidly behind Ted Cruz because many believe he is the most conservative candidate running. Others prefer Marco Rubio, mostly because they think he's the most electable of the relatively conservative candidates.
Not only are these candidates having a go at each other -- with Trump leading the field by going nuclear on anyone who threatens his frontrunner status -- but their supporters do the same.
To a degree, that's good and important. After all, conservatives are now trying to reach a consensus about who will represent them in the elections. This entire political game -- the debates, the constant attacks -- is all part of the vetting process. Although it's sometimes infuriating to people who have already made up their minds, it's nonetheless important that we go through this phase. May the best man win: it'll end up in conservatives having the strongest possible candidate after the Republican convention. That's a good thing.
On the other hand, with all the passions flying, I'm afraid that some of us are forgetting who the real enemy is. Yes, I think Trump would be a horrible candidate, and I believe he's a liar. Although I respect Rubio, I have a problem with him because he's too hungry for military adventures in the Middle East which always end up destabilizing the entire region, and because he's simply pro-amnesty.
But, when it all boils down to it, neither Rubio nor even Trump is the real enemy: the left is. And the Left is currently represented by President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

and the Bush/Rubio/ Republicans who want to hand over all power and position to the Democrats by importing as much of the third world as possible and making them voters.
Meh. Short-term vs. long-term view. Trump leans way too far left to expect any real change to what the Dems have done to this country, just like the establishment GOP’ers have failed to do. Simply beating Hilary won’t do it.
