When your house is on fire, you dont call a plumber to fix the garbage disposal; you call a fireman to put out the fire before it burns your house down.
Immigration, trade, & terrorism are the three fires burning our country down.
While I believe Cruz would make an excellent terrorism fireman, he is in no way an immigration or trade fireman. Those fires will burn as just as brightly as they are now if Cruz becomes president.
I sympathize (and agree) with those concerned about social issues, but these were long time developing problems, the solutions will take a long time to develop also. The next president (Cruz or otherwise) will have minimal (if any) impact in turning them back.
Our national house is on fire; immigration, trade, and terrorism are the fires burning it. Trump is far from the ideal candidate, but he is the ONLY fireman in the race.
If not Trump, who?
Considering the putrid moral rot of this country, with such abject evil and depravity as homo-marriage, my own view is that the house has ALREADY burned down.
America is an ash-heap now. The firemen are too late.
