Economist and conservative thinker Thomas Sowell has endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president, saying his Republican rival Donald Trump would lead the party — and the country — to “disaster.”
In an op-ed Tuesday for Real Clear Politics, Mr. Sowell,. . . . .
“Whatever the achievements of anyone in some other field, we cannot afford a novice in the complex world of politics and government at a time of grave dangers at home and internationally,” Mr. Sowell wrote. “Some seem to think that Donald Trump’s lead in the polls and in the New Hampshire primary make him the most electable candidate, even if he often acts like an overgrown spoiled brat.
“If, by some miracle, Trump became president, what kind of president would he be?” he asked. “Do we need another self-centered know-it-all in the White House to replace the one we have now?”
Mr. Sowell continued: “If the Republicans are to avoid having Donald Trump lead them — and the country — to disaster, they are going to have to have the majority of non-Trump supporters get behind some given candidate. Senator Ted Cruz has been criticized in this column before, and will undoubtedly be criticized here again. But we can only make our choices among those actually available, and Senator Cruz is the one who comes to mind when depth and steadfastness come to mind. As someone who once clerked for a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he will know how important choosing Justice Scalia’s replacement will be. And he has the intellect to understand much more.”

What has happened to FR?
Trump supporters freely admit that Trump.2016 is no more conservative than was Romney.2012 and they don't care: www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3389209/posts
I appreciate your posts! Always lots of good info there.
Amen!!
ahahah - There’s a vast difference between writing ‘an epic’ and writing a lot of words. (epic:a story that is “heroic; majestic; impressively great”
and then, as “longhorn too” did, there’s writing a succinct summation/distillation of said faux-epic in a few words.
Your self esteem is overrated - as evidenced on your many posts. You have a good life now, ya’hear ....LOL
Oh my good grief - it’s been decades since I’ve barfed - but I’m mighty close to it after reading that....
Now, if your intent is to claim Trump is on par with a chosen cadre of the Lord's most trusted.....well, that is hubris most absurd. I will say, Trump "may" have the qualities of an apostle......Judas Iscariot.
Why, Trump says he has never once asked the Lord for any forgiveness. I doubt 0bamao has, either. Nor Hildebeast.
That’s okay. Not every had to have the same desires and goals.
If you didn’t want those things, I won’t hold it against you.

Which Sowell is.
Good for Tommy
