James 1:8 It is unfortunate that Christians have so little discernment, or even the desire to research the presidential candidates, and they continue to believe everything they spew. Sadly, this is why our country has ended up in such a disastrous state. Truly, the church is a very big part of the problem. Cruz is definitely a globalist, and a very dangerous one at that.

Jeff Sessions (R-AL)80% warned that trade deals are eating away our national sovereignty and threatening our security on Thursday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily. Breitbart News executive chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon compared the issues at stake in Britain’s upcoming vote on exiting from the European Union with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and asked Sessions if the latter could be seen as “essentially an up-or-down vote on national sovereignty of the United States of America.” Sessions said the issue ...

A former Pat Buchanan adviser has launched a petition that threatens to launch a new political movement if the Republican Party fails to nominate Donald Trump. Paul Nagy founded the Draft Buchanan movement in 1992 and went on to serve as his Northeast campaign director. On Sunday, he launched a petition titled “We Will Walk,” which currently has over 1,000 signatures.

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday attacked the leading Republican contenders for their responses to the terror attacks in Brussels, warning that their proposals would weaken American security and diminish the nation's status as a world leader. Speaking the day after a series of explosions killed at least 31 people in the Belgian capital and rocked the western world’s sense of security, Clinton singled out Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for comments that she claimed would undermine global security organizations such as NATO and increase scrutiny on American Muslims. “Slogans aren’t a strategy. Loose cannons tend to misfire,” Clinton said in remarks at Stanford ...
Why Washington’s Political Class Is Losing Control

The Washington political establishment has hit the panic button. Not because they are afraid of any one individual or candidate, but because they are afraid of losing their own political power. This town is filled with well intentioned people who believe they are doing the right thing, but far too many have lost their way after years in Washington. Politicians pay more attention to special interests groups and powerful lobbyists writing checks to their next campaigns than listening to the people back home who sent them here in the first place. This dangerous power vacuum has fueled frustration and created an entirely new breed of disenfranchised voters who are fed up with the status quo. ...
Polls Pitting Clinton Against Trump are Meaningless

According to a new article in the Washington Post theorizing how a general election matchup of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton could reshape the electoral map, the biggest fight may come down to industrial states in the Rust Belt. Trump, they say, has galvanized white, working-class voters, which could peel away states that have gone to Democrats since 1992. But with weak numbers among Hispanics, they report, Trump could struggle to overcome a changing American demographic. To prop up their position, they cite the polls: A Washington Post-ABC News poll from earlier this month showed stark divides among those backing Trump and Clinton. Overall, the former secretary of state led 50 to 41 ...

Now I really have seen everything. This week, in the Utah nominating caucus, I will vote for Senator Ted Cruz. Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence. I am repulsed by each and every one of these. The only path that remains to nominate a Republican rather than Mr. Trump is to have an open convention. At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible. I like Governor John Kasich. I have ...
Kasich to campaign in Utah, effectively helping Trump deny Cruz delegates
Post Date: 2016-03-18 20:18:22 by Tooconservative

Sheer insanity unless Kasich is already eyeing some sort of deal with Trump to make him nominee, in which case it makes perfect sense. Kasich actually announced this campaign swing in Utah two days before he won Ohio earlier this week, but a lot of people said a lot of things they didn’t really mean — ahem — before the votes were counted on Tuesday night. The obvious move for Kasich if he’s supposedly playing for a brokered convention is to look hard at the blue states left on the map, which should be more receptive to his brand of politics, pick a few and go all-in there in the name of trying to pull delegates from Trump. New York and California are obvious targets. As ...

The Toxicity of Trump's Aggrieved-Nation Shtick

The aggrieved-nation shtick has been the strongman's path to power many times in the past. We shouldn't discount it today.The key to Donald Trump's presidential campaign—the feature that explains nearly everything else about that toxic dump—is his aggrieved-nation shtick. Just about everything Trump says (when he's not adoring himself or belittling others) is about how the once-great American nation has been humbled by the rest of the world. To hear him tell it, the United States is a 99-pound weakling who repeatedly has had sand kicked in his face by everyone. "We don't win anymore," he says. "We don't win with trade. We don't win with ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Republican presidential debate scheduled for next week in Utah has been canceled, host Fox News said on Wednesday, after party front-runner Donald Trump told the network he would not participate. Trump, who has clashed with Fox News throughout his campaign, told the network in an interview on Wednesday he would not appear at the event, scheduled for Monday, because he thought the Republicans had "had enough debates." Ohio Governor John Kasich said afterward he would also skip the debate unless Trump changed his mind and decided to come.

Trump and Cruz are betting that their dual dominance in the delegate hunt will permanently box out the Ohio governor, who has no mathematical path to the nomination and is openly pursuing a floor fight at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. And their aides say Kasich won't even make it to the floor. “There is virtually zero chance he can even be nominated,” Saul ...

When all the results are in from Super Tuesday II, Republicans could find themselves in a state of chaos they haven’t seen in decades. It all stems from Marco Rubio starting the day vowing that his candidacy will move on “irrespective” of the results in Florida. Rubio, who trails front-runner Donald Trump badly in his home state, told Fox News he’ll be traveling on to Utah, which votes next week, no matter what. “Obviously the difference is we’ll either be in Utah with a lot of momentum with the wind at our back or we’ll be in Utah after a disappointing night but we’ll be there nonetheless,” Rubio said. He added, “This ...

As far as 2016 Republican debates go, the GOP's most recent matchup in Miami on Thursday was noteworthy for its calmness. Gone were the crude insults, petulant back-and-forths and rumination about penis size. One comment, however, made by Donald Trump more than 25 years ago, in which he seemingly defended the Chinese Communist party's massacre of pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square, came back to haunt the candidate onstage."When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," he told Playboy in 1990, according to the Independent. "That ...
