[Servant of the Cross]

And the only Senator that was moved by this to give him any support on changing this repulsive and infuriating status quo ... was Mike Lee.

Marco Rubio and Rand Paul (he's already condemned Cruz not McConnell/Reid) must be called out to refute anything that he said. They can't.

We're damn sure farther away from truly fighting BH0, including a shutdown, than we were in September, 2013 ... when we actually had NINETEEN GOP Senators show some courage. Just damn.

You are right, and the only way to defeat the GOP e ultimately is to nominate a man for President who will not be of the establishment....and can/will fight them. This is what Reagan did. He was always fighting the estabs during his entire 8 years...but he managed to move the party in the base direction.

That leaves us Cruz, Trump and Carson. Carly maybe.....and of those, I would say only Cruz and Trump have the chops to fight and beat the estabs. One of those men would be very predictable in what direction he would take the party and the country. The other? Not so much.

Would be ironic to beat the estabs, and then have a Pres who governs to the left of the estabs on so many issues....and not in a good way.
