Thanks for this article. It's become too painful to keep up with political news; I hardly even listen to Rush or Levin anymore because the thought that Americans are on the verge of electing people with no reverence for the Constitution-or the truth, for that matter-is downright depressing.
There's simply no reasoning with Trump supporters. There are no facts you can present to them even if the source is Trump himself that will move them to think; all they'll do is ridicule.

If you read the book of Proverbs, you must conclude that a large swath of the current electorate meets king Solomon's definition of a fool.

The fact is that Cruz will never win a general election.

That is a simple fact.

That is a bottom line that I can agree with. I generally do not engage Trump supporters as they mostly are surface skimmers of the thought process, drinking the same emotional koolaid as the Left.
To the God of Heaven we must go with our requests if we are to have a chance save this nation.

The biggest fools of this election cycle are the hysterical, self-righteous ideological purists who can't see beyond their own narrow, one-size fits all dogma.

Conservatism is not only the purview of those who are well-versed in Constitutional principles.

My dad, who passed away in January, was a Conservative through and through, but knew very little about the technical contents or details of the Constitution.

But he darn sure had an inkling of what it means to be FREE, and to be proud of one's country, and to love it, and to work hard, and to be fair.

And there are plenty of black Americans, secular Americans, Hispanic Americans, athiest Americans, libertarian Americans, gay Americans, and so on, who believe, along with us, that the Washington status quo should be obliterated. I think nearlyl all Americans can look at each other and agree that that goal is a necessary starting point.

And Donald Trump is leading that charge, plain and simple. Is he the ideal candidate? No. Neither was George Washington the ideal General. But God used him to do things greater than himself.

After the Washington Establishment is shaken to its very core, only then can we all roll up our sleeves and get about the work of making America great again.

But it's not going to happen from just one narrow segment of the population, and it's not going to be led by candidate who only inspires one narrow segment of the population.

We need a President (not a "great debater") who can lead all the People to a better future.

There's a Revolution brewing which transcends the traditional boundaries of contemporary ideological labels.

Like the original one, it might not be perfect, but it'll be ours.

So the lukewarm Tories, please stand aside, because we have an entrenched, monied, corrupt power structure to bloodlesslly overthrow; a collective of leeches who consider themselves the modern version of royalty, replete with Ministries, Offices, a Divine Right to Order our lives, and a different set of Rules for the Privileged.

Abolish the Washington Cartel, I say, so We the People can "establish" something closer to the American heart...

Yes, there is no reasoning with the American people, who are too ill-informed to discern.
