Why can’t we elect Cruz instead who is a hard core constitutionalist?
Trump is not the only viable candidate. I’m very concerned that once elected Trump will go to the mushy middle - or worse with his SC nominations.
I could be wrong. But his history, and his immature behavior, tell me otherwise.
If he keeps faithful to his stated task of assembling a populist following, Trump will probably do okay.
His recipe is not a conventional looking recipe. He’s like the guy who says he can make Kentucky Fried Chicken using cornflakes and salt and pepper... and then produces a dead ringer for it. Then at the taste test, he says “you guys were making it too complicated.”
He's already going there.
We got to remember what made the Constitution great.
And frankly, it was a very good (though not perfect) spirituality. It had flaws, and some of them pretty bad (like that which enabled race-based chattel slavery, which is something the Lord never advocated in the bible). It took a civil war and much ongoing grief to atone for that one.
So has that recipe gone away permanently? Well no more permanently than the Ten Commandments were gone after Moses smashed the first tablets.

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.
