“The value of this election cycle, perhaps above all others, is that it has exposed the cesspool that is party politics, in both sides.”
Agreed! And my add-on is, that Donald Trump, by himself, has been the forcing function for this expose. Without Trump, Cruz would be gone and we would be awaiting the Jebbito Boosh Coronaton in Cleveland. Plus, NONE of the substantive issues would have been raised and we would either be on deck for Clinton !! or Boosh II. Boosh and Cruz are both globalists, and that’s where I part company with both of them, plus Boosh is not a bright person, Neither of them is receipe for moving the country back to where it needs to be.
“Without Trump, Cruz would be gone and we would be awaiting the Jebbito Boosh Coronaton in Cleveland.”
A Jebbito Boosh coronation still is not out of the question. (1) He only “suspended” his campaign. (2) He said he may not get the primary votes, but he would be the party’s nominee. (3) The GOPe like/want him. (4) A contested convention opens up all kinds of possibilities.
