“Why can’t we elect Cruz instead who is a hard core constitutionalist?”

I’m with you. I voted for him in Texas and took two people with me who did the same. This was the first time they voted in a primary.

I feel like conservatives have been beat down so long under Obama, many are willing to settle for a populist who stands up to the media and the GOPe. Clinton is damaged goods. We should be running a true conservative who can PROVE that conservatism works when you actually try it. If we try being moderate on everything, we will get poor results which will be blamed on conservatism.

Or worse, we could get more left-of-center government. We really do not know for sure how Trump will govern. Maybe he will be a man of his word and stick with conservatism.

But this seems a lot like Bush’s claim he had to suspend free markets to save the free markets. Or, even worse, it is like Pelosi’s argument that we had to vote for the Obamacare bill to see what was in it.

It may happen that the American situation will evolve into a better condition after Trump, and/or Trump himself will evolve along with the people into a better condition.

The will of God is central to all this. Our wisest man may mean nothing compared to His work through the man that God has prepared and placed to be propitious to His will.

I have seen several spiritual and philosophical reasons to suspect something like this may be afoot.

Amen!
