“Question: Is Lynch going to be AG, or not?”

It’ll either be 50-50 with biden casting the deciding vote and democrats being joined by 4 republicans or 51-49 with 5 republicans joining the democrats. Whatever the dems need mCconnell will see that they get it.

And .. I hate to burst your bubble .. but you live in a Constitutional Republic .. not a democracy. Like I said, you must be 12; that’s your mentality.

---

I’m in no bubble.. In a Constitutional Republic the States would have ultimate power over the federal paper givernment..

they do NOT ANYMORE..

WE live in a democracy.. yeah YOU TOO..

ALL POWER IS CENTRALIZED in the federal leviathan..
To say this is NOT SO... is delusional.. (yeah you)..

The States have become VASSALS of the federal givernment...

At one time the federal givernment was VASSAL of the States.. NOT SO anymore..
The States are clients of the federal givernment NOT..
the fed client of the States..

if anyone is prepubescent its YOU... suggest you get out more..

“Cruz is part of the majority in the Senate now. Can he pass bills?”

Unfortunately I’m not sure that republicans hold the majority in the senate or house. Maybe they do if you count rinos but electing the leader is one thing, passing legislation or denying the democrats anything is another

“but if we don’t control the Obamacancer in the next two years, it doesn’t matter what anyone says, it’s what the Republicans DO in Congress and in the 31 statehouses the GOP controls as we speak.”

Cruz won’t get much sleep. That’s for sure.

[WIBamian]

Well said.

As for Walker having a GOP legislature, that’s true. Cruz is part of the majority in the Senate now. Can he pass bills?

Come on Jack, this is really simple.

Walker has a GOP majority in both houses of the legislature that more or less agree with his agenda.

Cruz is fighting the Democrats and the GOP-E. The leadership in the senate does not agree with the positions that Cruz has staked out on Obamacare, Amnesty, etc.

The analogy is STILL a failed analogy.

WIth respect to unions, yes, you are correct, Walker has done a good job on that issue, and deserves to be commended for that.

However, Cruz has lead on every issue concerning conservatives, including Foreign Policy issues.

Where leadership is concerned, Cruz is King!

I think you and SoCon are both scoring some points.

Here is one maybe we can agree on. Thank god it is shaping up at this very early stage that it’s highly likely our choice will either be Walker or Cruz.

Cruz in my opinion is probably less enamored with government in general than Walker.

My vote is for Cruz but I will, as things stand today, LOVE to vote for Walker in Novemer 16 if hes the nominee.

Agree strongly! Conservative consensus is coalescing around these two. I hope they can overcome their egos and work together. I think Cruz has a fire and charisma that Walker lacks, but Walker has more experience governing. I’d like to see Cruz as POTUS and Walker as V.P. (with a role much like Cheney’s, of actually advising and helping the president rather than being ignored). Add Gowdy into the mix as A.G. and I’d be a happy woman! ;o)

Cruz was awesome at CPAC, but he got crushed by Walker in the straw poll and just squeaked by Dr. Ben Carson. I love the guy, but after CPAC I seriously doubt his ability to get the nomination in 2016, seems like we’re going to get Walker, I’m ok with that, but I wish it was Cruz.

[Cen-Tejas]

Makes two of us!

I like Cruz simply because I can believe him.
