Another choice nugget on Cruz:

“Ted Cruz is the political version of liver and onions,” said veteran GOP strategist Ana Navarro. “Some people love it and can’t get enough. And some people gag at the mere thought of it.”

It's nice to have dreams.

Peter King-(R) NY objected to Boehner's contention today as unfair to Lucifer.

Many believe Trump will win a two-way race. I'm thinking he has a decent chance in this case.

He may, if the demographic that finds him utterly repugnant stays home.

I am really glad Ted Cruz is not as smart as Nixon was. We would be in big trouble.
Cruz has fooled the evangelical right wing into thinking he is one of them but in reality he is a snob who likes to wear his Princeton ring.

Nixon may have made a lot of people mad, but he had an army of working stiffs to back him up, along with the silent majority of middle America. Cruz probably doesn't understand that a basic rule of being a politician is not to insult voters, even the ones who are in the other party.

Which may just happen given Hillary's charisma deficit.

Nixon became POTUS despite being the living definition of charisma deprived. It's a timed contract, not marriage, and the disaster of a Trump administration shouldn't be ignored out of spite.

Hillary is a deeply flawed candidate. You can't exist in the public eye for as long as she has without growing a lot of barnacles and Hillary has seemingly gone out of her way to do so. I'm beginning to fear that she'll lose the general to whomever the Republicans choose.
