“Cruz would do all to wipe out the Supreme Court’s pro-gay marriage ruling, clamp down on gay pride parades, would oppose reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, would require voters to show IDs, and, of course, would outlaw any and all abortions. He’d dump the common core standards and let local school districts decide all education issues with no federal checks and controls.”

Cruz would support justices who know when it’s a federal issue & when it’s a state issue. Most of these are state issues. He’d like to get rid of the Education Dept, which most here want very badly. He’d act to return federal lands to the state, thereby reducing the size of gov’t by eliminating what would then become unnecessary federal agencies. All that being said, there’s nothing he could do unilaterally - with just his phone & his pen. But I’m sure he’d work to get a consensus to make it happen.

And that sounds good to me! Rock on, Ted Cruz!

Now that’s funny, right there!

He’s got such a great track record of doing that, of course. What are you guys going to think of President Cruz when he starts “making deals” with Congress in order to get ANYTHING done?

Well, it’s hypothetical of course because there’s not going to be a President Cruz anytime soon.

I am not taking Cruz seriously until he can win more then 3 state primaries. If Cruz wins Florida and Ohio then I’ll be impressed. Right now he has been going through the motions. Winning caucus’ won’t do it...I think only 1 left. He has a huge job to do if he thinks he can win this thing with perpetual 2nd places. I find it hard to believe he’s even taken seriously. Bernie has won more states then Cruz now and no discussion of him beating Hillary for the nomination.

The president, whoever it is, cannot create laws, only Congress can do that. We are electing a president, not an emperor or dictator.

Sure it does, except that NO president can wipe out what SCOTUS has decided. THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T MAKE THE LAW!

Nor can he do ANYTHING about GAY PRIDE PARADES, abortions, or anything else you care to throw into that boiling pot of crap.
