Both men’s histories are out there. I’ll bet you’ve read at least one of Trump’s books. Did you read Cruz’ book, too? What’s that, “no” you say? Color me unsurprised.

Cruz memorized the Constitution in high school. Has Trump ever even read it? Does he know anything at all about the principles the founders built into it, how the the Progressives have slowly made it irrelevant in the last 100 years? I’ll bet Cruz does.

You surely must know he’s argued nine cases in front of SCOTUS in defense of our rights, including the 2A. He clerked for Rehnquist, probably the most conservative Chief Justice of SCOTUS ever. For the Senate, he beat the GOPe candidate despite being massively outspent. I’ve seen nothing that hints at him being anything other than a Constitutional conservative his entire life.

Trump’s past is public, too, and from a conservative view, is highly unflattering. He’s been a liberal Democrat his entire life.

Been way under the weather lately. Still, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, or something … cough cough

I tried, and came away with this.

The authors says among other things:

“as much as I like Cruz on many areas, he, like all of them except Trump, seems totally unwilling to admit that the government has a responsibility to act in the nation’s interests on trade policy and do something besides let every country in the world take advantage of us in the name of “free trade.”

I don’t know if the description is completely fair and accurate or not. But taken as a prescription which Cruz should heed, he certainly has a point.

Cruz must make the case for those concerned that their patrimony is being sold off by those whose self-interested maneuvering has left the American middle class under existential pressure.

The left doesn’t care of course, they want it destroyed as it represents a naturally oppositional political force. For them, the new management has already arrived, and it’s just a matter of making sure that those bitterly clinging to old habits and assumptions understand and bow to the new terms of their tenancy-at-will, in ever more stark and unmistakable terms.

The “GOPe”, apparently doesn’t care either. “Who needs buggy whips or farmers anymore, anyway? They served their former purposes by getting us ensconced in these cushy positions. tell then now to please go away and die with some dignity! And by the way, on their way out, to leave the keys to their houses here on the table.”

Cruz has to show he can address these matter too.

Kasich seems to be running a vanity project, and/or a resume padding scheme. When his ego and self-interest are on the line, I doubt he’ll leave even after the 15th.

Both men are currently splitting the anti-Trump vote. They are enabling his victory.

Unless the billy goat is trussed up with no ability to move, it takes a stout piece of hickory beat a billy, and then you are likely to receive a few ugly bruises. 🙂
