It's over. Donald Trump is the 2016 Republican nominee for president. Ted Cruz and John Kasich should withdraw immediately and get right with Donald. Those of you who are not yet on the Trump bandwagon should climb aboard. We're going to roll over Hillary Clinton this fall and make America great again.
Addendum: This man, writing for National Review, calls Ted Cruz "the Bible-thumping jerk." I realize that he's imagining a Kasich voter using the label, but it shows that the thought is out there and not unique to me. To repeat something I've said many times in this blog, I didn't realize until the Republican presidential campaign started just how creepy and otherworldly Ted Cruz and his father are. Those of you who read this blog on a regular basis know that I have nothing against religion or religious people. I have a lot against creepy religions and theocracies. And please don't think that this is the only reason I "turned" on Cruz, having sung his praises repeatedly for many months. There are other reasons. The man is dishonest. Donald Trump's label "Lyin' Ted" is appropriate. Tonight, for example, just before the polls closed, Lyin' Ted lied some more at a campaign rally that he knew would be shown live on the television networks. I can't imagine ever supporting Cruz, however many times he runs for president. I'm not even sure I would want him as a Supreme Court justice (not that the Senate would ever confirm him). Cruz is also desperate. I think that he would do just about anything to secure the presidency: lie, cheat, steal, whatever. "The end justifies the means." Remember: Cruz's father says that Cruz is the anointed one.
