So many times I have held my nose to vote for a Mc Cain or some other Publican candidate only to have them turn their back on the people or not even get elected. Isn't it time for the PUBlicans to take one for their own party?

At this point, if they prefer to be with Hillary, I hope they stay there and that includes the money backers of Cruz also...it shows he’s a Democrat and a RINO...

We don’t need those type of people in Washington D.C. or anywhere else...

I hope that when Trump is POTUS, that he removes all of whatever obuma has done, and completely wipes him out as one of our pResidents, and takes his picture off the wall and moose butt also...like they where never there...

Ted Cruz hints that he might consider rejoining the race if he wins Nebraska

Ted Cruz returns?

The Texas senator told Glenn Beck that he may jump back into the GOP presidential race as discomfort over Donald Trump’s presumed nomination roils the party.

Ted Cruz is exhibiting an intense mistrust of the judgment of citizens ("the People")--a curious attitude for the one candidate who is, perhaps, the most familiar with the writings and speeches of America's Founders.

After all, approval of their 1787 Constitution relied on the ratification process in the States, and any future Amendment to that Constitution, by the Constitution's own provision, requires the assent of "the People."

"I am not among those who fear the people. They...are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they (the British) now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers....This example reads to us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by public, as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from the principle in one instance, becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the 'bellum omnium in omnia,' which some philosophers...have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive, state of man. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson
In 2016, "the People," having watched their elected so-called "conservative" Republican leaders fail miserably at even slowing the oppressive "progressive" "train" of "wretchedness and oppression."

"The People" who Justice Story called "the only KEEPERS of the Constitution" see the so-called "conservatives" they elected betray them, and they have responded with an outright rejection, county by county, in most of the states won by Trump.

It is time now for those GOP leaders the voters rejected in the Primaries to decide whether they will turn over the Executive Branch to a self-described "progressive" who promises to double down on the Obama agenda,

or

whether they will show statesmanship by accepting "the People's" choice, re-engaging in their delegated duties to preserve and protect the Constitution, and be a part of placing the Republican Party on a firm footing of fidelity to that Constitution's limits on power and protection's for liberty.

How many times must we have these people betray us after we have supported them.

Graham, McCain, Romney, Boehner, Ryan, Jeb!, the Bush presidents, Cruz, Rubio etc.

From here on out, they can expect total scorn from me.

They are not Republican Party loyalists, they are self-serving elitists in the mold of Hillary Clinton.

If he has a pro-Trump primary opponent, I will vote for that person. Issa is establishment all the way. But now I can vote for him in the general if he is the nominee. He at least will support Trump when he gets sent back to DC. He seems to me to be a follower; if we can get rid of Ryan and put some pro-American elements in leadership in the House, I suspect Issa will get in line.
