Love your graphic with the Jedi light saber.

Have you seen the new one yet? I haven't but probably will after the lines dwindle down a bit.

“Rather than heeding the call of its conservative base to make a compelling case for why conservatism benefits all Americans, Republicans sought instead to out-Democrat the Democrats.”

He seemed like a politician a couple weeks ago, if not a RINO, when he was dancing around the questions about his advocating a form of amnesty.

Headline is misleading, but the article is good.
GOP fears that Cruz will not be in the go-along-to-get-along crowd.
Cruz has shown that he is not GOP, thank goodness.

Someone get out the pressure washer and clean the “stuff” off the walls. The RINO party has slings loaded with excess excrement aimed at Cruz, and their aim is off.

CRUZ PLAN TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HIGHLIGHTS
https://www.tedcruz.org/cruz-immigration-plan-summary/

RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW

We need a President who will follow the law, hold those who break it accountable, and take seriously the duty to protect Americans. To restore the Rule of Law, a Cruz Administration will:

End President Obama’s illegal amnesty.

President Obama has issued over 20 illegal executive memoranda rewarding illegality. I will rescind each and every one on my first day in office.

Increase deportations and end catch-and-release.

Our laws are not being enforced. I will restore our commitment to enforcement, public safety, and the Rule of Law by rededicating DHS to fully enforcing the law, including through deportations and returns.

End sanctuary policies, sign Kate’s Law, and deport criminal immigrants.

There are about 340 sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States. They make a mockery of our laws and endanger our citizens. I will end support for these jurisdictions.

Prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving financial benefits and strengthen E-Verify.

American taxpayers should not be funding benefits for those who are here illegally, and American jobs should not go to those who are here illegally. I will protect Americans’ wellbeing by stopping the flow of taxpayer dollars and instituting a strong e-verify system.

The Republican Party has been taken over by undercover DemocRats and now the Rats control both parties, they are not going to give up one of them without a fight.

The scum doesn’t believe that at all, but they’re definitely trying to plant that idea in the minds of the conservative base.

If they thought he was a RINO they would bury him in support.

Did Republicans think that they would win by presenting themselves as the more "efficient" and "economical" welfare state party?

How soon we forget, GW described himself as "A Compassionate Conservative."

RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW

That alone is probably the single most effective first step anyone could make.

“...Cruz has not specifically laid out his general election strategy, but from what we do know, it appears he is in fact echoing that of President Obama. Cruz intends to activate the most ideological part of the party base via micro-targeting, drastically increasing conservative voter turnout, rather than catering to the “middle.” This challenges the conventional wisdom, and it may prove unsuccessful.
********************************************************************************
Well, it appears that the establishment is throwing out yet another variant of the “can’t win general elections” canard. I suspect this variant won’t be sticking to the wall either.
