This is going to be a bloody battle, and it already is showing how hard the democrats are squirming to distance themselves from obamas ursurpation of power. Most of them will not be darkening the halls of congress much longer, thankfully. But this is going to be a war.

    Then I don't think it was irreverent. I think it is hilarious and I'd like to see it happen. LOL

    Irreverent, but I just had an image pop unbidden into my head from reading that. A scene from Lord Of The Rings; The Two Towers. Gimli asks Aragorn to toss him at the Battle of Helms Deep..
    Snort..

    Too bad that Cruz is not an eligible candidate for president, but then, with the precedent of the illegal occupier in the White House now...................

    If Harry Reid wins it will be because we are a nation that lined up for 7 Freddie movies.

    Even better reason to hope she takes the Democratic ticket! Maybe Harry Reid will run! Either is unelectable...of course I said that about Obummer the first time around.

    Mitch McDonnell came forward with a full endorsement for Rand Paul, if he chooses to run. That’s quite the reversal and also very helpful. I’m willing to concede we can’t do this alone without Boehnor and ilks.

    I don’t think Hilary has it in her to pull off another two years of campaigning. She looks pretty tired and out of shape now.

    I spent the morning watching Trey Gowdy's take-downs on YOUTUBE. It’s raining and dreary; I needed a pick-me-up!

    Boehner and his ilk think that they are the true Republicans. Since November they think that they are the true Republicans on steroids. But they already have illustrated one of the characteristics of steroids. It shrinks the testicles. Cruz and his compatriots have an antidote.

    The main qualification for the job shouldn't be who can sling the most mooched money and pull and mud to get it, but who is the most qualified that does NOT want the job.

    Someone once told me this. You become president, become the most powerful person in the world, but you only serve 1 six year term - no re-election. At the end of your single 6 year term, you're exiled to an island with no way off, no communications with the outside world, and no power or authority. Your payment for accepting that job is a life of leisure - in exile. Or like the old Roman saying went - All Glory is Fleeting.

    Wonder how many moocher power-hungry looters would want the job if that were the stakes?

    Dr. Ben Carson is looking like a very good choice for the next president. I have only just heard of him and his actions speak louder than his words. He will definitely get my vote.
