This from someone who wants Cruz to run 2nd fiddle to Trump

There you go again. I never stated a desire for Cruz to run as VP. I asked you a question based on that scenario, because I believe it is a distinct possibility. I notice that you never answered the question.

With the survival of the nation at stake, it is no time to play third party games, with a conservative as 2nd fiddle.

With the survival of the nation at stake, it is no time to be unrealistic and naive. A conservative will not win the primary. It cannot happen. So while I want to support Cruz immensely (Walker to a lesser degree), I also recognize that his candidacy is too much of a long shot given the stakes. You are free to play the lottery as you see fit. But don't simultaneously pretend that it is a sound financial decision. Absent Trump, Bush has a 95% chance of winning the nomination. And Hillary has a 95% chance of beating Bush. Those numbers may not be exact, but they aren't off by very much.

By all means, play your games of ignoring political reality, and snappy word-play like "liberaltarian". But, somewhere in the back of your head, you know it is true, that Trump is the only alternative to President Hillary.

Live, die, sink, or swim, I always pull for the most conservative candidate. If other conservatives would do the same, and not be swayed by Rove-like “political reality,” which seems to be of most consideration to you. we would win the day. I say, pull for the truth, let the chips fall where they may.

Have a good day, Sheridan.
