Here’s some perspective for you.

Conservatism is a thing. Like Catholicism or membership in a fraternal group like the Elks. In order to be part of that group, you have to uphold and believe in the tenets of that group. Otherwise you’re simply lying about what you are and what you believe.

Conservatism is also a philosophy. One shared and built on by the founders of the country and one that has roots that go back to the dawn of civilization. Nowhere in that is any edict to elect liberals with more flip flops than John Kerry.

Now you are either a part of that by adhering to the principles of it or you aren’t. You don’t get to change the rules by pretending, like the AI kid and the Blue Fairy, that if you want something bad enough and say “Please Blue Fairy” half a million times, it simply ‘is’. Conservatism is not and never was about wishful thinking but about hard truth.

Trump has some very good points. Cruz has more. Trump has a touch of conservatism. Cruz is built with it at his core. You wanna know why ‘Cruz can’t win”? People like you that repeat those words like a mantra and spreading that idiocy. A year ago you were the same people laughing at the idea a thrice divorced ex Democrat would ever get right wing votes based on conservative values and yet here we are.

A year is a long time. Don’t tell me ‘Cruz can’t win’ unless you know it, not think it. And with the example above, you don’t ‘know’ squat about the future.But you can participate in and create self fulfilling prophecies.

Now if you can point out a single incorrect statement above, please do so with a complete explanation as to why because frankly, I am sick to death of people telling me I’m wrong and then providing ZERO proof of their assertion while bulling ahead with liberal nonsense.

Great post but probably wasted words on the intended recipient.

The only thing that would make Cruz not electable is the GOP Abandoning his campaign (which I fully expect them to do if he wins the Nomination) and work against him (and even then I still think he has an excellent shot at winning)

It is hard to fight the Referees and the other team at the same time.

Great post. Lost on the recipient, Tads? Yeah, but at least the rest of us got to read it.
