I’d vote for Cruz or Carson or any reasonable person. I’m not that Trump-mad. I find Trump fascinating to watch, though, because I think he is a case of a sleeper blessing waiting to be revealed in the context of a larger faith movement of the country.

Christianity was never a karma system.

If we recognize our sin and beg God to help put it to an end, He will, in kindness.

I don't think the Tea Party is sitting back. They/we are moving. Thing is, we can't keep up with the Democrat/Socialist antics fast enough.

Republicans thought they had it going during the Reagan years only to find out the Democrats switched parties to get elected with only one objection in mind. Destroy the Republican party from within.

Then we get back on track, and what do the Democrats do then, flood the voting booths with imported illegals and whatnot.

If all that still don't work, infiltrate the Republican campaigns with a faux republicans, placeholders. We simply can't get in front of their devious ingenuity... We loose every time.

Our present Senate and House are perfect examples of what I am saying, and now we are on the verge of giving them another of their own. "HEIL the won"

That is well articulated!

I think that same thought process exists in all conservatives who are trying to balance social vs fiscal issues.

I also think that declaring that we shall not give in to islam or to godless leftism is a social issue. There has to be a basis for social issues and that has to be the bible. I see "conservatives" floundering around trying to defend social positions yet afraid to say that islam is evil or leftism is evil or communism is evil or that Christianity is the basis for making those statements. So if one can't stand on the bible against these social issues to include abortion, then they don't have much to stand on and will probably disappoint when the world of temptation hits them in office.

I think we tremble too much before the devil and spend too little knee time before the Lord. The result is the kind of relative powerlessness that you describe.

The answer is spiritual, not (specifically) political. The spiritual has to drive everything we do in all spheres.

It is not Cruz's job to flush out Trump's conservative credentials but to fortify his. With a dishonest and biased media, who spends most of their on air time interviewing Trump, that never pins Trump down on his positions, that fails us. They fear if they ask him any difficult questions he will cut them off. The money ball for the networks is Trump. Why do you think FOX tried so hard to get him to come to the party?

It's like a NASCAR race where everyone pays attention to make sure they don't miss the big wreck. Which candidate do they think that might be?

It may even be our fault for falling for the latest bright shiny object.

I got more. But we should all do our own research.

For example, have you seen the early polling on how well the respective GOP candidates do against Clinton and Sanders in a general match up?

Keeping in mind that no substantive debating has taken place... there haven’t even been any significant “Tweet wars” yet between Trump and the Democrat hopefuls.

Once the Trump dog gets a bite of the hide of either one of those losers, the picture will undoubtedly change. As an abstract entity, he might not look as good as a “Santa Claus” candidate. But Trump knows businesses don’t have money trees. Their schemes are recipes for disaster and he can tell you how, ten ways from Sunday.

You can't depend on the media. These questions really need to be asked. And who better than the guy in 2nd who knows these positions better than anyone?

I think if Cruz was the debater he is supposed to be, we would have a better idea (vis a vis Cruz's questions and Trumps answers) where Trump truly stands on abortion, homosexual rights, Supreme court, role of gov in our lives,etc.

Cruz has failed here and it could cost us all.

Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he alsoreap.

God is just.

2 Chronicles 19:7
Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts

Do you think pre-born genocide should be left to the states? Bush’s republican congress should have gotten it done. I will not forgive them for that although they did get partial-birth passed so now PP just allows the baby to live for harvesting.

This still isn’t a karma system, which is how some people take it.

This is talking about the sowing of grace. The grace itself still comes from God. Grace continues to have the power to wipe out sin. The burden goes to Christ who volunteered to take it and we are fools not to take the fullest advantage of this. Isaiah 53.

Old Testament verbiage like this is of dubious application here, though karma minded Christians like to use it a lot. Remember this was a law system (that nobody could pass) and no revealed Christ yet.

It's absurd to me to think of God blessing this nation while we stand in a river of our own innocent blood.

Too many seem to believe that life issues are simply a preference with no consequence. About as important as ethanol subsidies.

And until people stop counting on Washington to get done the business they should be getting done on their knees, no progress to the good will be seen.

We point at the spectacular signs of far more mundane sin and we scream for the signs to be wiped out.

How about what put the signs there in the first place? A degree of hard heartedness which would have made many previous centuries aghast?

Trump never responds substantively to any pointed question so how do you pin him down. He has no conservative depth and speaks only in platitudes. Cruz can ask rhetorically or pointedly all day long about Trumps conservative credentials, as I am sure he does in all of his town hall meetings, however the media is only willing to report on the personal non substantive attacks.

The media should not have to be "handled" it should be digging for the truth. Hasn't been popular or profitable to do so for a long time.
