The more they do it.. the more we, the American voters, get to see what we’ve wanted for a long time. Straight talk. We are so sick and tired of politics as usual we’re nauseous. You don’t have to back Donald Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz. You don’t even have to like their politics. But, if you have a brain and if you’re tired of the alleged two party system lying to our faces, you have to love their actions.
Cruz hits the Senate microphone to out the majority leader — from his own party — for being a liar. He unapologetically put the old guard on notice that this is not going to be standard operating practice any longer. No sir, you tell the America people to give you the House and they do and you do nothing. You tell them to give you the Senate and they do and you do nothing. Instead of getting the idea and backing him up and promising to do better. Or, at the very least, the Senate “leadership,” McConnell, McCain, Hatch et al attack Cruz and announce that what he did wasn’t how things work there. It wasn’t proper protocol nor the proper procedure. You see, when Cruz said the Senate and its actions since the Republicans took over has been no different than when Harry Reid was in charge — he called them out on their deceit. And, they couldn’t sit idly by for that. Thank goodness, Cruz just doesn’t care what they think. He cares about what he promised us and had done remarkably well so far in holding up those promises.
It might sound like as strange comparison but Donald Trump is cut from the same cloth. I don’t know how he’s done with his promises and time will certainly tell, but this guy doesn’t care about “the way it’s always been done.” What he cares about it just talking straight. He tells it like it is and every single time — bar none — he’s been attacked, he’s not only increased his lead in the polls but he has grown his crowds and left the critics to scratch their heads. This is what we need; a political system run by real people who will actually do what they said they’ll do, real people who will actually listen to what it is that matters to us and respond and react to it, real people who will not genuflect or kowtow to an out of control, power-hungry media.
I suggest the other candidates get on board, or they are dead in the water and have no chance. Even this early on, the people have shown they react to real answers, strong and direct positions and those who will not back down to the media or old-school politicians.
