And, really, what does it matter how a Canadian thinks? If he's oh-so-very “concerned” about America, why doesn't he become a real American instead of just living here and pontificating. I realize that Mark Steyn is wildly popular here so flame away on that latter point.
As with most small-minded people, you attack the messenger and ignore the message.
“I am myself a legal immigrant and I fretted, while completing the bazillion pages of “comprehensive” immigration forms, about whether it was strictly necessary to declare that unpaid parking ticket from Saskatoon in 1987 or the unsolved string of prostitute murders at the Port of Amsterdam in the late Seventies. And at one point, while I was agonizing, my lawyer said to me that the examiner who would decide my case spent six minutes on each application, at the end of which he said yea or nay. So he wouldn’t have time to read all the forms, never mind check anything in them.”

Steyn’s analysis is brilliant, and I’m fine with Steyn not being American, because if he was, he would be less intelligent than he is.
And the reason that you did not hear about Ted Cruz, is because Ted Cruz did not stand out. I am not saying he did poorly, but I am saying that he is basically just a face in the crowd. He did not distinguish himself in any significant way. He did not inspire. He did not capture the attention of enough people in this country to be able to win.
I am not saying he can’t, but so far he hasn’t. If a Republican is to win this race, then he is going to have to CATCH FIRE, and I capitalized that, because it’s going to need to be a big damn fire.
At this time, Trump has done exactly that. He is front and center, and people are flat paying attention to him.
Whether or not that endures and whether or not he is actually a conservative remains to be seen, but if any of those other people in that stage intend to take the spotlight off of Trump, they had best come to life quickly.
No flame, that comment just wasn’t very bright.
Trump helps Cruz who I support. Trump can put an end to Jeb Bush and many of the other wimps in the race. If it wasn’t Trump taking the hits right now who do you think it would be? Who would the GOP-E be trying to convince everyone was the only real front runner we could ever need in all their sickening snarkiness?
God Bless Trump and if he really has come around to the conservative cause and he is welcome. He supported Reagan long ago but had shifted politically for some time but he’s not the first and I don’t believe the prodigal son must be shamed for his coming home. That said I don’t believe he is a plant as some are feeding a false flag concerning that. Trump has way too much ego for that anyway.
Steyn has more knowledge of and love and concern for the United States than most natives. I’m not gonna flame you as you are entitled to your opinion, but I don’t understand it.
Steyn briefly compliments Cruz in the Hannity interview linked in the steynonline piece. It's not enough, but it's not nothing.
Steyn makes fun of Cruz for being a fellow Canadian
It’s all I’ve ever heard from him about Cruz.
Everyone says Cruz did well. People I know who ‘ don’t follow politics’ say Cruz did well
The tell the truth- the truth that dumbed down American cannot see.
Canada Free Press nailed it long ago:
Do you fear Barack Obama?

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

Who will save freedom?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
