Re: Why Cruz or Trump will win

Even O'Reilly is taking issue with Trump. He is appearing to be a race-baiter, which only gives more credence to the alarms of have been ringing about Trump's supporters and the GOP's negligence to not take a solid stand against racism.

No they are not and here's why:

The current political leadership is not limited to 'democrats'. The Democrat Party and the GOP are two sides of the same Establishment coin. Voting for either is voting for the status quo, voting to keep the Establishment "established".

We need a paradigm shift. Unfortunately, it seems there is a huge mass of people in this country who do NOT want to upset the status quo. They want the pendulum swinging back and forth between establishment democrats and establishment republicans.

Wonder what they will do when God knocks the pendulum off the fulcrum?

So your plan is stay home and don't vote at all?

Neither Cruz or Trump will wimp out like Romney or McCain. They will actually go after Hillary and wear her down. Unlike Romney and McCain, neither of these guys will show mercy or be politically correct. In other words, there will actually be a campaign. I predict Hillary will refuse to debate either of them.

I'm also looking for a Trump/Cruz ticket to be announced.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha

So what do I get when you again are proved wrong?

Steak dinner for me and my wife?

Your barking will not stop the train....

The GOP will not, can not, and absolutely shall not endorse Trump if they can help it.

Even Trump in the last few days is rebuking the GOP for not doing what they said they would do when he signed the contract with them. He already suspects that they are going to ditch him.

He will go third party and Hillary Clinton will be your new CIC!!!

There is no hope in the political arena, it's all bread and circuses.

Your choice in 2016 is Jesus or Satan.

We either keep doing what we've been doing and keep getting what we've been getting, or we do something different (like actually repent of our political idolatry...)

Are we BETTER OFF now than we were 30 years ago?

So, tell me again, exactly, what elections have done to improve our condition?

Thank you.
So let's just give up and not try. That's a good approach.

The GOP isn't weak on racism! Good Lord! It's just we won't be baited into the nonsense that the race-baiters try to pull us into. EVERYTHING about liberalism and the Democrats is keeping everyone in their labeled category---black, white, Latino, gay, straight, bisexual, lesbian, transgendered, Native American, union, women, seniors, young people, children, etc. It's the politics of division and disunity that identifies the entire Democrat party! The GOP tries to foster "we the people" and government "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

JD - can you give me some proof that he is a "race-baiter"?
Or is this another "Palin is stupid" moment...

Funny how JD and his fellow Democrats accuse GOP of division when Dems are the one keeping people in their separate classes.

Like all the evangelicals did last time because they didn't like Romney. They don't count a no-vote.
