Consider this a follow-up to yesterday’s post. If we’re serious about the #NeverTrump movement, then we need to consider that it may go all the way through the convention before we can succeed. Any plan does not survive first encounter with the enemy, and Cruz’s “beat him at the ballot box” is no different. Cruz…
If Trump Doesn’t Get the Nomination Did the GOP Overrule voters?
I’m seeing this thrown around a lot over the last few days. Especially by Trump surrogates insisting that if he doesn’t get the nomination “the establishment” has interfered. Let’s lay some ground work first. If Trump gets to 1237 and the GOP pulls some hijinks, then yes, I’d say they overruled voters. Sure Trump is…
Seriously? For Those Like @RBpundit: Does #neverCruz Outrank #neverTrump And #neverHillary?
So, last night’s primaries are over. The field is one lighter. We’re left with an interesting question now. By way of background, this cycle I’ve been 2 things: #neverHillary and #neverTrump. (Although I confess I underestimated Trump, so I thought it wasn’t necessary to be against him.) I have always put the latter prior to…
Not So Bold Predictions 5: The Age Of Trump
Let’s just throw some shit out there. Like Trump. Once again, a direct cut and paste from my Brother’s Facebook competition. “Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Trumpy party!” FL Trump: 41%… Rubio 26%+career fatality Cruz 17% Kasich 9% (Early voting claims the rest for Jeb! or others.) O-H-O-I (As Obama…
Drive-by Trump Roundup
Frankly at this point there’s simply too much stuff to talk about in individual posts for an extended period of time. As such, it’s now a necessity to combine down the shenanigans of this whole circus freak act into “roundup” style posts. So here we go. Before we begin I remind you that I’ve already…
California Supports Hyper-Regulation Of Everything, Even Suicide
The difference between allowing a suicidal person access to a gun with which to end his life, and access to a government licensed member of the medical guild who will prescribe the pharmacological equivalent, is simply the amount of regulation. As of June 9th, Californians will be able to request life-ending medication from their physicians….
“This Time However The Barbarians Are Not Waiting Beyond The Frontiers”
With all due respect to Alasdair MacIntyre. Alternative Headline: “You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!” What’s happening tonight in Chicago is a disgrace to a free society on multiple levels. Make no mistake there is plenty of blame to be spread around. Trump foments hate and…
The World’s Greatest Deliberative Body…Simply Isn’t
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully…
On Second Thought…
Despite what my wife says, I am willing to admit when I am wrong. That doesn’t mean I won’t make an excuse for it. I was told there would be no Math for the CoB’s on this blog, my problem was ignoring that rule. Over at The Federalist Sean Davis does some math better than…
Rubio Needs To Go, But…
As usual ace makes some good points. But he misses something. I was never a fan of Rubio or Kasich, so when I say this, trust that it’s not from the #rubio4ever standpoint ace describes. There is something to consider, at least until the winner take all states start in earnest (which is soon, but several…
