RE: Shut Down the Government
So, based on what Trump is saying ... TED CRUZ WAS RIGHT THEN...
I think it’s going to be a Trump/Cruz ticket. Then in 8 years we can have a Cruz/West ticket.
The whimp caucus on the right knows damn good and well that when Trump says shut it down — He will shut it down and not stand in the middle of the room and wet himself like a little girl the first minute a little heat is turned up — Not like wussy’s we have now.
If it’s strategic, and if it’s conservative, Ted Cruz likely said it first.

Calling next week’s Senate roll call to defund Planned Parenthood a “legislative show vote,” GOP firebrand Ted Cruz said Republicans should do everything they can to eliminate federal money for the group — even if it means a government shutdown fight this fall.
Hopefully FReepers can see Trump's admiration for Cruz.
Un presidente con cajones!
I like Trump but this won’t work.
Nothing is going to change with the GOP until McCain, Bonehead and TurtleGuy are gone!
Not out of leadership but GONE.
Those who voted against shutting down Planned Parenthood will have to answer to the Lord for their disgusting vote.
They need to heed a few lines from Job. They not only lack wisdom they are not even seeking it. And as far as departing from evil. . .they are mired in it. Let’s face it, unfortunately they have been given over to a reprobate mindset.
27Then He saw it and declared it;He established it and also searched it out.

THis is red meat, but I think it’s the wrong tactic.
I would leave PP alone for now, and prosecute the organ sellers, especially if and after an audit shows where the money was going. If it was going into PP general funds (which I doubt—no one would be talking about Lamborghinis), heads can roll at the administrative level. If it was being pocketed, heads can roll at the individual level.
That way, you get the moral and electoral high ground. Even many PP supporters would be grossed out by the profiteering. If action against PP is seen as using this as an excuse, you’ll rally the pro-abortionists against you at the voting booth. Why not make them allies? The only thing we know now that we didn’t know a couple weeks ago is the organ trade, and the details of how it is carried out have not yet seen daylight.
