The answer is simple. Everyone believes the right elected official will fix things. The problem is you cannot fix anything without fixing the complacency of the American people and complacency has a 100 year record of saying it's here to stay


You don't spell well either.

Funny, you folks that don't vote find all sorts of reason not to.

Of course you find all sorts of reason not to work at fixing the problem you say voting won't fix.

Yet you'll certainly opine at your omnipotence.

You are as bad as Bristoe. Hate to lay money on the difference.

there is definitely a role for someone willing to call a Senior Senator a liar on the Senate floor, regardless of what his ulterior motive was.

Cruz would be a good enforcer - and he'd probably relish the role as an opportunity to rebuild his somewhat tarnished reputation in a presidential bid for 2020 of whenever.

I think Cruz has to rebuild some trust among the base.I really don't blame him for what he's done in an attempt to win the presidency but I do think he badly misread how to get there. Once he realized he lost the role as the "outsider" in the race, he just reverted back to politics as usual.

He can't do that again - unless Trump redefines what the usual politics are.

I think I'd like him as AG - but I still don't believe he is on board for stopping illegal immigration. I just have serious reservations about any first generation American - especially one with dual citizenship being dedicated to stopping mass immigration into this country.

The "base" has been totally alienated from this election. Nothing new.

Looks like a lot of crow for some that campaigned so hard for Cruz.


Why would we need to eat crow for wanting a man to be president. I do think it is the right thing at this time. We all need to support the Donald and beat Hillary. I just hope (still) that The Donald remembers that he is a Republican after the election. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Correct. Cruz was the only conservative in the race. That the majority of republican voters and the establishment don't want that is no surprise. It's not our first rodeo. Gettin' throwed is just part of the ride.

I think he means "base" are people that don't expect one person should redefine "usual politics".

I said it last week in my concession, I'll not apologize for backing Cruz and thought him the best candidate but the masses and people want Trump ...so let them eat cake and lay in the bed that has been made...I'll give them a fork and help tuck them in but I didn't bake the cake nor put the sheets on this bed

The alternative to liberal is conservative. Liberals are the Democrat's base, conservatives are the Republican's base. It is not a subjective term that is up for interpretation. There are no conservatives in the race.

Dood...you guys are the one's that are expecting a POTUS to "straighten things out". The only thing that fixes government is less of it.

I do hope that this means that you will be voting and voting against the Democrats. You are in a state where it matters, for every vote. miles

You don't have to worry about Dan. He's a good American and used to voting for the lessor of evils.

Cruz wasn't a really a conservative anyway.

But even so, he was phony at whatever he is, and that counts more in politics than what someone claims to hold philosophically.

If he was a true conservative Christian, he would simply quit whining and tearing down someone to whom he lost, gather himself with dignity, chalk it up to "God's timing," and get ready to win the next time around, or the time after.

As it is, he cracked under the pressure, both he and his wife do not have what it takes to survive the demands of the office, and he is now being a sore loser and burning bridges.

He's a political hack who is also a political dimwit. The best he could do is hope for an appointed position that does not require him destroying his family to get there.

if it was only that black and white

There are about 7 definitions of what conservative is.

You were defining it differently every week on here

Its about the 2A

Its about SCOTUS

Its not about immigration

on and on.

Being conservative isn't about whatever it takes to get your candidate elected.

Trump would be a laughing stock if he had not have touched on the some basic ideas that voters wanted. Immigration, bad trade, islamic threats

whether anyone likes it or not, he's (and with the backing of the voting public) has made those conservative principles.

and those opposing it put up a vicious fight - and failed miserably at it

of course if faced with two choices pick one not voting doesn't do any good as one choice is most alway more preferable than the other. So yes the fork is my vote for Trump
