Kudos to Ted Cruz


I've made no secret in previous posts of the fact I despise Ted Cruz.

Even in the sewer of Republican politics, there's probably no one sleazier, more blindly doctrinaire, more unctuous, more openly motivated by absolute personal ambition...and more hypocritically "Christian" in service of his ambitions.

But I'll give Ted Cruz kudos for his courage last night with his non-endorsement of Donald Trump, telling Republicans to "vote your conscience."

(Interesting that the delegates booing him, booed even while he closed with "God bless the United States of America:" surreal Republicans !)

Probably his appeal to "conscience" is wasted. Conscience is the first thing partisans abandon in order to follow their politics; followed closely by their honesty and their commonsense.

But Ted Cruz deserves credit for appealing, even if merely in service of his own personal ambition, to the moral sense of Republicans, calling them to consider if it's good...if not for America, then at least for their party's interests...that Donald Trump become President ?

What's amazing is that so many of America's "Evangelicals"...supposed moral leaders...fear speaking against the American Church' political correctness even as far as Ted Cruz does.
