Winning the CPAC straw poll is not much better than winning some online poll. CPAC skews young and libertarian, of course Rand Paul and his father are going to win there. Nature abhors a vacuum, if the United States isn’t the leader, Russia, China or the Caliphate will step in and lead the world.
So, this was about Ted Cruz and whoever....
Nobody, including me, gives any credence to that silly poll. I watching what each of them says, does and writes.
I have a disconnect with Paul on immigration , and Cruz makes me uneasy with the slight aroma of Neo Con.
But I think both of them have the courage of their convictions.
Russia, China or the Caliphate will step in and lead the world.
The only reason the US has slipped is that our enemies, mostly domestic, have steamrolled over the Constitution that was engineered to keep us above and beyond the rule of man.
Exactly. In this interconnected world the ostrich approach will doom you as in "you may want to ignore the outside world however the outside world is not going to ignore you" We can try and ignore the Greater Muslim Jihad, ignore China's and Russia's rise but they will not ignore America.
China and Russia can get together with a few others (like Iran) and really screw the US dollar. Then all those self-concerned me me me me me me myself and I libertarians will cry how all imported items cost 4x much as before due to the collapsing of the US Dollar engineered by the above nations
Putin is playing with matches. Better to let him burn himself.
