Afraid to say 'Reagan democrats' aren't you. Afraid to admit folks want an 'America first' candidate.
The real establishment is the globalist cadre - flood the country with third worlders, ship jobs overseas. The establishment can tolerate a social conservative but they cannot tolerate an 'America first' candidate that they cannot control.
Cruz has dropped his religion in NH and has met with the establishment power brokers. The sellout is underway but too many social conservatives really will not care - he's their guy. Too many social conservatives will tolerate a 'call to prayer' blasted five times a day in their small towns as long as their favorite politician comforts them with his words.
In the end I will vote Ted Cruz if he is the only choice, but I will know right now what I am getting.
I haven’t encountered a Reagan Democrat in a generation, and I live in a conservative county.
“Afraid to say ‘Reagan democrats’ aren’t you. Afraid to admit folks want an ‘America first’ candidate.”
I’m fine with America first, if it is truly America first, as in Constitutional republic, and not American federal government first, Constitutional rights last.
Even if Cruz is pure as the driven snow he will be surrounded by the establishment handlers who will carefully guide him through the decision making. This has been done since FDR or earlier. The *wise men* are masters of the game as they have played many times.
