Maybe his followers should unite and start a new party? (I'm passing on the opportunity to suggest names... even though I have a few) :) That is what it will take to "have say".

To embellish this idea, of actually having a say with a 3rd party, our legislature would have to be restructured into a parliamentary body. This will never happen. Some of us thought that the soundest way of restructuring the body politic was from within the Republican Party.

You are right, we are wrong. Rather than watch and suffer the country to die by a thousand cuts, we, the ones who sadly watched King Romney get trounced by Choom gang Mr. Obama, will contemplate a single, carotid slice and the repercussions of the next four year takeover by the Communist party Dems.

I agree with your assessment. As we know, the "party" doesn't care either way. As patriots we have to decide if we want to vote for the lesser of two evils for the sake of the country or if we just want to move to the farm, not vote, and not worry about it.

I personally view Cruz differently than the trumpsters. I believe he is fundamentally more conservative than any of the other candidates. Is he the perfect candidate?? Nope. But he is the best we've seen in a long time from my perspective. Trump is dynamite. The only reason to vote for Trump would be to blow up the party. While blowing up the part is attractive to all of us at some level, electing a conservative is more attractive to me. Hence my support for Cruz.

I realize the establishment is gathering around Cruz. I'm fine with that, because at the end of the day I believe he will remain a conservative. I believe they are with Cruz just to stop the dynamite from blowing up the party. The only real question is whether or not they play the nuke card and nominate neither of the two. If they do... it's time to move to the ranch, go off the grid, and just talk to the cows all day.
