The implication is Cruz is a loser.
Well ouch, it is painful, but empirically that’s how Phyllis sees it and she’s probably right.
She’s been around the block a few times and she isn’t a fool. Cruz has not addressed the “We The People” problem; Trump has. We can honor our constitution right down the drain if we fail to rebuild the national unity that Obama has worked tirelessly to disassemble. Obama was/is the wrecker; Trump the fix-it man.
As far as our practical chokepoint for constitutional issues, Trump has indicated he wants Thomas-like justices on the USSC. (He was KIDDING about his sister and even said so AT THE TIME but those blankety blank soundbite liars misled us, as they so often do.) That’s NOT a bad choice if you want some semblance of stability, if not also restoration. Engaging the consent of “We The People” with that kind of mindset is not a bad thing.
