    You know you are not a member of the Republican establishment when Karl Rove tells you to “never darken the door of the White House again.” That happened to me in 2002, and that’s when I knew I had chosen the right side on the immigration issue.

    Things have changed in 2016; the establishment is under siege. But who is really anti-establishment and who is faking it?

    SNIP

    It is easy to attack the establishment from the outside; that always gets applause and cheers, even when the “outsider” has a lifelong record of enjoying the benefits of insider status.

    It takes real courage and conviction to attack the establishment from within and makes waves as big as a tsunami. Ted Cruz has done that – consistently, and successfully, on immigration and other issues like Obamacare, voting rights, and the 2nd Amendment.

    That’s why the establishment fears Ted Cruz: He’s the real deal.

    Yes, he keeps telling us that, over and over. How about you name a deal that Trump has done? No cheating and using Google.

    He has not proven he can make deals in DC. But the Republican party doesn't need another "dealmaker". Congress is full of them. They need a leader that will stand firm on the constitution and the principles set forth in it and will not allow the extreme left to rule the day without a fight. Trump's history tells us he will not do that.

    Ted Cruz has proven that he will.

    FYI, I detest the extreme right as much as I do the extreme left. Trump's been quoted from year's ago in his younger days expressing thoughts along those same lines. I don't want either to 'rule the day'. Neocons and the 'Religious Right' they play like a banjo string are the worst things that's ever happened to the GOP.

    Ted Cruz + Goldman Sachs + CitiGroup + CFR = Business as usual.

    Amen. I consider myself to be first and foremost a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Everything else pales in significance compared to that.
