that’s my list as well; Cruz in 1st with the other two distant 2nd & 3rd.
As far as I’m concerned, Trump is like John the Baptist, paving the way for he whose sandals he’s not worthy of tying!
Thank you for that simile, it produced in me a smile.
There is one candidate that is a true believer, not just in Jesus Christ, but also in the law of liberty. There is one candidate that has argued and won in the chambers of the supreme court, that has taken on the republican senate and launched a filibuster demonstrating the spineless unprincipled expediency of the GOP, who has argued passionately for the unborn, health freedom, fiscal responsibility and rational foreign policy. He has done so with gravity instead of celebrity, with rationality and emotional conviction. He is the one that most concerns both the establishment and the liberals, because they know he truly believes his rhetoric and they cannot buy him off. He has my vote. -- Ted Cruz is not Jesus, but I hope that he can lead America to repent of her sins and shame the Pharisaical ruling class into oblivion. Trump is inflicting wounds on the GOPe, for that I am grateful, but he is not George Washington. Ted Cruz is both a statesman and a fighter.
Whoever wins the presidency will be walking in to viper pit where the media, liberals and establishment GOP types will conspire to destroy their influence and their effectiveness. It is likely that congress, the bureaucracy and the courts will also try to eviscerate the man and the office. Only a true believer can be counted on to persevere and to pledge their life, their fortunes and their sacred honor in the face of such a herculean endeavor.
