Funny you should mention Rush —I stopped everything I was doing when he said that, just came to a screeching halt.
I very rarely or almost never disagree with Rush on something so utterly important, and I’m still very concerned.
His words were something like, “Well, wouldn’t you want as Prez someone like that [like Cuz], ABLE to WORK THE SYSTEM..? [by getting all the delegates]
I couldn’t disagree more. Transparency is being bandied around more than ever, but never before have things been so opaque, so completely resolved in clouds of smoke behind heavy DC doors.
It’s EXACTLY the kind of guy I don’t want, and it’s too bad cuz until Colorado I was perched atop a razorblad atop Mt. Everest, with Cruz on one side, and Trump on the other.
I’d have voted for either happily, but something very fundamental has gone on, and now I favor Trump.
And...I’m very shaken up about Rush.
Yes, Rush is apparently longing for the days of the smoke filled rooms where party insiders made deals and chose nominees for their parties. There is nothing wrong with that being the process, since a party is a private organization, but in this day and age, a party that wants to win needs to have a system for picking a candidate that the voters will support, not that its insiders support. The GOPe doesn’t want to win in this race, if the alternative is winning with Trump. That’s losing to them, because they lose their jobs and their trillion dollar trade deals.
I read that coming home waiting for my windshield to get fixed and could not believe he didn’t lose his mind over it, or for that matter Chris Daniel. I don’t know that he made much of a fuss about that either.
What’s a guy do, who’s entire adult life has been trumpeting the superiority of the ideals of conservatism, and the party who’s supposed to embody those ideals does the things they’ve done in the last 10 years?
