Trump won in spite of everybody and every thing coming against him. He didn't crumble under adversity. Trump proved he has the mettle to take down Hildabeast. Cruz made more than a few mistakes. Aligning with crazy man Glenn Beck is just one of them.

I don't think a decade or two in the Senate will make Cruz better as a candidate. More likely it will just leave him further out of touch with your average citizen. Cruz tried to win the game by gaming rather than by standing for something. Yes, he claimed to be the world's best "conservative." But what does it mean for someone to be so doctrinaire? Bill Cristal considers himself a world class conservative and yet he's willing to deny millions of voters the right to choose their candidate.

I used to like Cruz but I prefer Trump partly because he doesn't crave the power. He literally would rather be doing something else but can't stand to see the country run into the ground by nincompoops. The people who say Trump's not qualified are nuts. First time out of the box he smoked six governors and 5 senators. People say he's not conservative but I disagree. It's important to note that pure doctrinaire conservatism doesn't necessarily appeal to a majority of Americans. Someone who's pragmatic and has common sense is more important than slavish allegiance to a political creed. Trump can appeal to a cross section of voters large enough to win.

I'm confident Trump will make an awesome president because he's a natural leader and fearless. Finally we all have to realize the win isn't yet in the bag. There's so much at stake hidden players who stand to lose their golden goose aren't going to surrender easily. Americans need to stay sharp and make sure our candidate takes it into the end-zone because you can be sure there are forces out there who will stop at nothing to defeat him and so between now and November is the most dangerous time for our country. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's a lot of work to do.

Beautifully written and well-reasoned points. Your words have brightened up a few "grim" corners of our world.

By the power vested on me, I hereby bestow on you the H.L. Mencken Iconoclast Award for Fine Political Commentary. Congratulations.

Great post!
