	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

    CRUZ or LOSE!

[2ndDivisionVet]

More and more prominent leaders, conservative and intellectuals join Team Cruz every passing day.

[Logical me]

Another piece of crap with his mouth open. Ignorant.

Trump with the majority of Americans with him for President.

[jessduntno]

VERY unfair. The Donald was a victim of New York values...and hanging around too many liberals.

He is now a CONSERVATIVE. Ask him.

Donald Trump registered as a Republican for the first time as a 41 year old in 1987. We know from his own recounting that he grew up (or, at least, got older) as a Democrat. Twelve years later, in 1999, Trump walked away from the GOP to run as a candidate for the Independence Party. Then in 2001 his liberal sensibilities (remember he was still pro-choice, anti-gun and for higher taxes in 2001) drove him to register as a Democrat. It was not until 2009 that Trump changed his mind again. Donald Trump was a Democrat as recently as 2009. Trump registered as a Republican once again. However, Trump left the GOP again in 2011, registering instead as an independent before returning to the GOP again in April of 2012.

So, I think his name should be written as

Donald Trump (D, R, I, D, R, I, R - NEW YORK)

A reliable Conservative we can count on!

Does anyone know who Sowell is supporting.

For some reason I keep missing it. Some folks keep saying they know, but I haven’t seen anyone say who it was yet.

Do you know SoConPubbie?

It must just be me who’s in the dark here.

Sure wish someone would post an article or 99 on it.

Thomas Sowell has been one of the great voices of conservatism for a generation.

He remains so.

[Richard from IL]

How many of Sowell’s books have you read. He’s not ignorant. He disagrees with you.

[statered]

That is too harsh. I will note though that people who’s retirement is already secure will be more likely to endorse Cruz. Those still worried about theirs....not so much.

[BobL]

Sad that Sowell’s moved so far left in his old age, but even so, he will always be a HERO to me.

[MotorCityBuck]

and into irrelevance.
Go Trump

[ripnbang]

If, by some miracle, Trump became president

I guess Mr. Sowell doesn't talk to the people much.

Is this the fifth or sixth time this was posted today?

[Luke21]

You are the ignorant one. You can’t even write correctly. I see it all the time from the Trumpkins, who just barge in insulting everyone in sight, often with poor spelling and writing at the 3rd grade level.

Thomas Sowell is a great conservative. You don’t have to agree with him, but he’s a lot smarter than you are.

[Psalm 144]

Old comrade stands in unity with Cuban!

[DoughtyOne]

Makes you wonder...

[Leo Carpathian]

Cruz ‘character’:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote.
2. Claiming Carson quit, ‘vote for me’
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video ‘vote for me’ with his preacher/father stomping for him.
4. ‘Brilliant’ lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize and repeat?

I'M NOT A SPOILED BRAT CRY BABY, I'M NOT!!
