From what I have read, most of the Insiders in Congress would have to be removed from their positions of power or risk tearing the party down. McConnell, McCain and Rience Priebus would have to go. The president gets to pick the party chairman.
He could get rid of McConnell over the voter fraud issue in the primary that Priebus refused to deal with.
But yes, he did get played by McConnell. I would bet that Cruz didn’t believe that McConnell actually committed voter fraud, either. People were warning him about the TPA thing and Cruz just wouldn’t believe that McConnell would lie, not to just him, but to the whole Republican caucus.
The Republicans Insiders have themselves in a bind, they have made so many deals Democrats, that they probably really would be happier with Hillary than either Trump or Cruz. What worries me is that Trump doesn’t know any more about the Constitution than he does the Bible. He isn’t an ideologue and that leaves him open to changing his mind and going in a completely different direction.
Basically, I don’t trust Trump. He has lied about the Cruze eligibility and I am sick to death of lying politicians. On the other hand, I am worried about the Supreme Court ruling on Obama’s immigration executive actions. Mark Levin said that it might take executive actions by the next President to undo it and I don’t know for Cruze is up to using the same executive actions that Obama has. I think that Cruze might be too inflexible on the Constitutionality.
But why is Cruz so naive? It seems unbelievable. He wasn’t born yesterday. He’ s supposed to be such a hotshot litigator. If anyone should be used to people trying to trick them and lie its a lawyer.
If that’s the level of his chess playing I don’t want him in the Presidency. We are supposed to be out-thinking our enemies (and our friends) not taking them at face value and holding out our hands like the occupant of the big house to everyone so they can steal our wallets, destroy our alliances and outmaneuver us at every turn.
