Ted Cruz, establishment candidate. If you're tired of the Republican establishment, get on the Trump bandwagon.

If you support Ted Cruz but don't want an establishment candidate such as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, John Kasich, or Paul Ryan, it's time to get right with Donald. See here.

To the Editor:
Corporations are neither people nor voters. The Constitution does not include references to corporations, companies, businesses, merchants, salesmen, peddlers and so on. They are invisible, absent, uninvited and excluded in the Constitution. And so they should be in elections.

Note from KBJ: A corporation is "An artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state or nation, composed, in some rare instances, of a single person and his successors, being the incumbents of a particular office, but ordinarily consisting of an association of numerous individuals" (Black's Law Dictionary, 5th ed., 1979, 307). The letter writer is correct that corporations are not "people," if that term means human beings; but he is wrong that they are not persons, for they clearly are. As such, they have legal rights and responsibilities that are distinct from the legal rights and responsibilities of the individuals (i.e., natural persons) of whom they are composed. The letter writer is also correct that corporations, as such, are not voters, but nobody argues that they are or should be, so this is a red herring. As for the Constitution not referring to corporations, that is neither here nor there. The Constitution doesn't refer to African Americans, either, but it doesn't follow from this that African Americans lack legal rights and responsibilities, including the First Amendment right to speak. In short, the letter writer doesn't know what he's talking about. He is mouthing progressive talking points and thereby making a complete ass of himself.

If journalists had any integrity (that's a counterfactual), they'd ask Democrats hard questions about abortion. Most Democrats, I suspect, think that a fetus has no moral status whatsoever (and should have no legal status whatsoever) until birth, and maybe not even then.
