I was saying back when I respected Cruz, that on the R side, Rubio is bought and paid for, and that if Cruz isn’t, already, they figure he is easily buyable. I think I was right. I think that once Rubio just couldn’t do it, they went and bought Cruz. When the Sea Island meeting happened, when the Bushes jumped on the Cruzwagon, he was owned. These guys have prices. They want to be President. They can’t fund it themselves.

And it will be the best attack on Hillary too: no one is more blackmailable than the Clintons. She wants to be Prez so badly, she will do anything to get there, and then anything to stay out of the penitentiary and Sick Billy to be kept out of the Sex Offender Registry. Why would we want these criminals in the WH blackmailable by ANYONE?

Buyable is probably part of it, but this primary has been very revealing of a lot of things, but particularly the makeup of Cruz' character. I don't really think its just the money. I think he is motivated by something else (selfishness? desire to be the center of attention?) that is also playing a role. Either way, at this point anyone who still believes in him would be better off staying up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin -- at least then, they would only lose a night of sleep.

I agree. On the other hand, we can’t (and won’t) always have a self-funded billionaire to choose from - so how’s it going to work in the future? What system could possibly be set up to prevent our candidates from being bought like cattle, and selling us out because they feel obliged to?

It will most likely be over tonight, but if it wasn’t Cruz is too stupid to realize the Establishment will desert him after he stops Trump.
