"Ted Cruz is the right man to be our President, for right now"

[SILENCE IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY I]

"Ted Cruz is the right man to be our President, for right now".

Of course, while our ultimate hope can rest in Christ Jesus alone, mortal men and women must act as his voice, hands, and feet to advance his teachings and core principles here on earth.

Ted Cruz is immovable, constitutionally guided, fearless, and dogged in his determination to do the right thing.

Ted Cruz's integrity, character, remarkable communication skills and extraordinary debating and persuasive powers, as evidenced by his five landmark victories before the U.S. Supreme Court as Texas solicitor general, have, among other things, uniquely qualified this fine man to become the leader of the free world, and of our Constitutional Republic.

Donald Trump, has no such infrastructure or support.

Steve Deace summed up Donald Trump’s conservative bona fides on CNN: “I know the RINO establishment hates Trump, but Senator Ted Cruz was right to welcome him to the GOP. We’re trying to grow the party. And in Trump, here’s a “lifelong Democrat and progressive” who has contributed more money to the likes of Al Sharpton and Rahm Emanuel than anyone reading this will ever see in a lifetime.

Yet now, with the country at its nation-destroying progressive Socialist tipping point moment, he’s chosen to come over to our conservative side and to adopt conservatism.

So we welcome Donald Trump into the fold.” Donald Trump would be out of his element as a world leader or core principled conservative, but Trump certainly could play a number of “key and vitally important roles” to spearhead Ted Cruz's initiatives.

As Ted Cruz stated in last Tuesday’s Presidential debate on CNN, “If I’m elected president (Ted Cruz), we will secure the border, we will triple the border patrol”, “we will build a wall that works, and I’ll get Donald Trump to pay for it.” Trump laughed and replied, “I’ll build it!”

I do suspect there’s a waiting place in a President Cruz administration for Donald Trump.

Indeed, while there remains a handful of other honorable, eminently qualified and conservative folks in the GOP primary, any of whom I’d be honored to support under different circumstances, it has now however become crystal clear, in my humble opinion,... an opinion supported by the polls placing Ted Cruz as the lone Trump challenger, that the window of opportunity has now “closed for them” and that their exit and endorsement of Ted Cruz as the nominee, will help help cement his win as our 2016 presidential candidate...

For the sake of “Playing-to-Win”, and importantly for the sake of saving our Republic, NOW is the time for them to “bow out and to throw their full support and finances behind Ted Cruz”.

Moreover, conservative and Christian leaders around the country, as well as voters of every stripe, should put aside all personal friendships and loyalties to other candidates and, likewise, rally behind Texas Senator Ted Cruz as the nominee.

Let’s all be SMART enough, to finally beat the establishment and the progressives at their own game, while there is still time to coalesce.

Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”

These are dark times. Senator Ted Cruz is a "proven" conservative and righteous man.

As president, he’ll shine bright. He’ll light the path. He’ll help make America that constitutionally guided “shining city on a hill” once more.

Just say-in,.....

“Silence in the face of tyranny, IS your consent to tyranny”

[Virginia Foulk]

I like Ted Cruz, and I also like Trump; but Cruz is the better choice - Trump is too "in your face" to be a leader of this country. Both men stand up for America, with strength.  Cruz has dignity under fire, Trump has fight fire with fire, which, though wonderful to see doesn't move the country forward.  

[SILENCE IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY I]

Trump might be "in your face", particularly when the situation demands a counter-punch.

A counter punch, that for other than Ted Cruz on the Senate floor, has been absent when needed for a very long time. If you examine Trump more slowly, more carefully and in much more detail, you will see that most of his counter-punches are certainly called for, and are long overdue..

Please think much deeper and keep in perspective, "just how many Republicans" will "NEVER-FIGHT-BACK under any circumstances" for even our most crucial and most critical of pertinent issues.

Republicans that are profound dimwitted milquetoast uber-weakling do-nothings. Inexplicably "predestined to LOSE and to concede to the America Haters on every single issue that we hold dear".

Importantly, RINO's through their inexplicable profound dimwitted milquetoast weakness, are "endangering" all of us by dramatically accelerating and enabling the "Fundamental Transformation of America" into a hopelessly indebted, weak, untrustworthy third world banana republic.

Their (the RINO's), inexplicable and horribly misguided uber-weakness "is fundamentally changing the world as we once knew it".

if Ted loses Ia and NH and SC what is our next choice?

[SILENCE IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY I]

"WHAT IF; Ted Cruz loses LA and NH and SC?"

Very very unlikely after a "commanding victory" in Iowa. But still, lets THINK through that "possibility".

1. Easy answer; DONALD TRUMP, who will at least be heavily influenced by and will work very closely with Ted Cruz.

1A. Under this scenario; it is "VERY LIKELY", that Ted Cruz would actually be the Vice President.

2. ESTABLISHMENT - An option where the candidate will OBEY the RINO Cartel Masters, and sell us conservatives out "at every opportunity with reckless abandon after the election", MARCO RUBIO.

If the situation "decays to this level", then we have gone NOWHERE since 2012, and we are back to square one, which is of course, "the lesser of two evils", Mrs. Satan, or Mr. RINO.

Silence, if you watched the piece on 60 minutes tonight on Apple's success it clearly defined all the problems with America today and the solutions. If you listen carefully to the piece you will also know who to select for our nominee and the choice is not Trump or Cruz or Rubio or Bush. The choice is Carly who I have been saying for some time now.
