".....Cruz opened by stating that he tried to think about what Levin would tell him:"Ted, keep it short:defend the Constitution, repeal Obamacare, and kill the terrorists. And I've gotta say,that pretty much sums it up."..
.."Justice Scalia was an American hero..a lion of the law,he loved the Constitution,he loved freedom. I had the blessing of knowing Justice Scalia for 20 years...Justice Scalia, in three decades on the court,changed the arc of American legal history,singlehandedly shifted the Constitution and the interpretation of it back to the original understand,back to the text and words adopted by the framers. As Ronald Reagan was to the presidency,so too Justice Scalia was to the US Supreme Court..his passing leaves an enormous void on the Court......we are one justice away from a five-justice radical left-wing majority the likes of which this country has never seen."
[BIG SNIP]
.."[I]t is not one but two branches of government that hang in the balance." Cruz pointed out that Democrats always get it right:their nominees are always consistent. "Republicans..bat less than .500."
Why? Cruz said,"It's not that Republicans secretly want to put Republicans on the Court. It's that we've had too many Republican presidents who don't value the Court,value the Constitution enough to spend the political capital to confirm a real conservative." Cruz railed against "stealth candidates...If you've lived fifty years of your life and you've never said or written or done anything to demonstrate you're a conservative,you ain't."
That,too,was a nicely-disguised slap at Trump.
Cruz concluded:"Here are the stakes of this election. If, God forbid,we elect Hillary Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders or some other socialist, we will lose the Court for a generation. But if,God forbid,we elect some Republican who makes the same mistakes as the Republicans of the past...we will see our fundamental rights undermined for a generation....

That sounds like another long-term, Obama IRS harassment of a conservative.
You're repeating Democrat talking points, btw.
Why do you do this over and over?
Support of Cruz is not support of the “uniparty”. And Trump is no constitutionalist. Not even close. He’s clueless when it comes to the enumerated powers of the federal government.
And last but not least, you do know that Jim said he was going to vote for Cruz in the primary and will vote for Trump if he wins the nomination. So you’re accusing the owner of this site of supporting the “uniparty”, etc.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Why don’t you give the truth a try?
Why do you do this over and over?
Freedom’s friend is the guy who believes in liberty and smaller government. That isn’t Trump.
What do you engineer exactly? Trains? Your logic and reason are dead.
You mean call you on your BS?
Because other read this and you make claims that are not true and you need to be called out on it.
That’s why.
That’s what you think leadership is eh?
That explains a lot.
Not really, provide a link to the Democrat talking points.
The hedge fund's strategy has been tremendously successful. The firm's flagship Medallion fund, which manages money only for employees today, has earned average annual returns of 35 percent for two decades. Over all, the firm manages $25 billion, much of it employees' money.Is is a coincidence that Trump is campaigning against hedge fund managers getting away with "murder."
But, but, but.....Trump has changed since he wrote that. He’s not a wheeler dealer anymore. He’s not like that anymore. Ted Cruz is a nasty guy and liar. Trump has never lied. Trump lost Iowa because he stole votes from that great guy Dr. Carson (although he wasn’t so great when he was running neck and neck with Trump in the fall. THen he was a liar and a pedophile)
Do I sound like a real Trumpster yet?
Glenn Beck yellow journalist slime buddy. ...not impressed at all.
Well genius, Jim’s chosen sides too by that standard. Why are you here?
You haven’t managed to say one substantial thing, just thrown mindless crap without any facts, logic or reason. And then called others bots who disagree with your mindless claims.
Go look in the mirror if you want to see a bot.
Don’t agree, but excellent analogy for the antagonist.
When you can’t argue the facts, pound the table.
Have you been drinking?
That didn’t make any sense at all if it was intended to insult me.
You called the guy who said it was leadership a “nightshift bot” - who is on your side.
Please do. You said the people who support Cruz support the uniparty - I’m confident Jim thinks otherwise.
