Phyllis makes a good case. I still support Cruz, but can support Trump if he avoids a RINO running mate for example.
“While Schlafly spoke warmly of Sen. Ted Cruz, she said that she’d ideally like to see Cruz on the Supreme Court during Trump’s administration. ‘That’s the place I think Cruz should go,’ Schlafly explained. ‘He’s eminently qualified for that. And that would be a perfect solution for him ... his qualifications are enormous ... His education and his experience. He would be eminently qualified for that and very good at that.”
We better get it right this time.
Phyllis Schafley is a living legend. I would not have guessed she’s in her 90s.
Maybe this was one of the big endorsements Halperin was referring to in his tweet.
TRUMP
Very interesting read!
I think if Trump gets the nom he will pick Cruz or Rubio for his VP slot. Rubio gives him cover on the Hispanics, and the state of Florida, but personally(and despite all the recent back and forth) I believe Trump has a soft spot for Cruz.
If Cruz is the pick I believe he will choose a female VP to counter Hillary. Unlike Trump I think Cruz is vulnerable on the female flank because I don’t believe Cruz will go where Trump will go vs the Clinton’s, and will need a female attack dog to carry out those attacks while Cruz rides above the fray.
Phyllis has it wrong, they are queen makers. The people who get elected aren’t the ones who mastermind the power. They are the figureheads. They are the queens. The Prime Ministers are behind the scenes. Axelrod, Cheney, etc.
“You’re our only hope, Obi-Don Kenobi”
Yes that is what Trump was called here on FR today.
She has been a smart lady. Let this be a lesson to all. Too much anger for too long warps the brain. I met her years ago at an event. My overall impression was that she was one angry lady. I overlooked it, but still remember. Oh well. We are all entitled to our opinion.
I agree that Cruz is more vulnerable to sabotage by the ‘G’ OP establishment not only on funding but also other intrigues.
Not fair in any way, but they are positively romanesque.
Viewing the ‘G’ OP as Brutus and his slithery kind, I think Trump stands a better chance of surviving.
This is a must watch;

Phyllis Schlafly is amazing. Some great Freeper turned me on to the The Barry Goldwater 1964 Campaign 50th Anniversary Forum. We are watching history repeat itself.
If you have 9 minutes watch from 6:10- 15:39 of this video with Schlafly describing how the establishment of the Republican Party takes out grassroots candidates. This is really timely...

THIS is worth noting:
Schlafly rebuked the argument that Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio are conservative in spite of their views of immigration. Schlafly warned that Republican publications’ boosting of Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan will come at the expense of the nation’s peril. “If they’re not right on immigration they’re going to destroy our country,” Schlafly said.
Schlalfy, who has previously argued that if the country continues mailing green cards at the current rate, it will amount to suicide for the Republican Party, told Breitbart that this election is critical: “If we don’t get this election right, it’s going to be bad news for America,” Schlafly said.
