Cruz uses “Constitution” as a hypnotic trigger word. He simply says “Constitution” and his supporters fall into a swoon.

Very well said.

So many of delusional Conservatives, especially on this forum, think that the key to election success is the strongest defender of the Constitution.

Maybe 200 years ago, but not today.

Most people don't know a damned thing about the Constitution or even care.

They are trying to pay their bills working crappy dead end jobs in a politically correct hostile work environment. Then they drive home past 3 trailer parks filled with Mexicans.

That's what people care about.

I'm not saying the Constitution is unimportant, but it shouldn't be in your sales pitch at every opportunity.

I wish people would understand that.

That’s cute, but he’s the only person running for president who has a record of doing just that (adhering to the principles of the constitution). If your premise is correct, then anytime Obama mentions the word constitution people would swoon, right?

If you think for a minute that any president can single-handedly dismantle the federal government leviathan, you’re deluding yourself. I would love to hear Cruz and Trump discuss the extra-constitutional nature of almost everything the federal government is doing, but I doubt that Trump’s knowledge of the constitution is anymore extensive than his knowledge of international affairs.

Yup, he wastes so many letters of the alphabet, all Trumps folks need to here him say is I. 8^)
