Today I learned that Ted Cruz is only 45. What the gently caress. The human-skin suit he wears is really showing its age.

Given how much the presidency ages someone we need to get Cruz elected so we can finally achieve the dream of having The Crypt Keeper lead this great nation.

Cruz said, “Look, what we know in California, whine is something best served with cheese. And Donald Trump has this very idea of Colorado, he has been on TV all day long saying Colorado was terrible. They stole the election. Donald Trump 65,000 people voted in the state of Colorado. They just didn’t vote for you. They voted for our campaign. Or to put it more simply, Donald Trump, it ain’t stealing when the voters vote against you. It is the voters reclaiming this country and reclaiming sanity.”

Sure, but this isn't the way to do it. Displacing Trump guarantees a loss at this point. The nomination this year is a poison chalice, it's just that the poison is Nativism and Trump happens to be immune.

The more of the socially liberal/fiscally conservative wing that the democrats absorb the more the GOP is utterly dependent on social conservatives. Kicking them to the curb breaks the party.

The Democratic party is the old Republican party. Cut taxes, cut entitlements, free trade, support big business. For the Republican party to expand it would have to become more socially liberal and less economically libertarian. That isn't an option, their donors won't accept it. They have no choice but to keep doubling down until their base dies off. Their best hope is that the coming battle over polygamy will churn out their voters again.

I don't think Paul Ryan's concerns are perfectly aligned with alt-righters'.

quote:

There is a sentiment among frat guys, lacrosse players and middle class affluent white kids that they are kind of getting persecuted lately," Portnoy told CBS News.
"You tell a joke it gets blown out of proportion. You gotta walk on eggshells. There's kind of that feeling, and Trump, he tells a joke and doesn't back down. He says things that would normally been frowned upon. At a school, a kid would get expelled. Not that it's right or wrong, but he's sort of defending a lot of the things they've been attacked for in the last five years or so."
"It's an F-U to society, who is telling us we are a bad guy because we like hooking up with girls on spring break," he added. "And they see Trump sticking up for that."

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.

If anyone thought the LDS church went batshit in its interference with the Prop 8 stuff and other gay rights issues, just wait until the polygymy battle hits the mainstream and becomes a Leftist cause. For the LDS, gay rights were a political and moral issue, whereas the fight against polygamists is seen as being an existential one. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the government, which so far has benefitted from their allyship in anti-polygymy enforcement, turns on them and starts trying to legislate in favor of multiple-marriages. We've already seen non-fundamentalist LDS separatism in the Bundys, I imagine that could escalate if American culture continues to drift towards alternate-lifestyle inclusion.
