The irony in the Cruz failure and the Trump victory is that Cruz has, for many years, set himself up as the Washington outsider. Everything he's done in congress was focused on him playing off of the anger of the GOP voters and getting the nomination that way while the establishment nominees get roasted. In the end, Trump out Cruzed Cruz as Trump became even moreso a Washington outsider and obliterated Cruz.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostListening to Ted Cruz give his exit speech is all you need to inform you of what has happened to the Republican Party. He is himself plenty loathsome--but Trump is just more perceptive about the Republican Party's true soul. The phrase "Judeo -Christian nation" makes my flesh crawl. At least he didn't call his wife and daughters "beautiful".
I wonder if some day we look back on this election and thank Trump for keeping Cruz from possibly beating a very beatable Clinton."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Absolutely. As abhorrent as the candidates are, this campaign is going to be mesmerizing. Things can change, of course, but I think Hillary will take Utah.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostWill be fascinating to see how Utah votes.
I've been going to CB more frequently of late, and I had to laugh at one poster's comment that he expects the debates to end up with the candidates pulling each other's hair. One can only dream...

I can't vote for Trump. I won't vote for Hillary. I guess it is Libertarian for me.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostWill be fascinating to see how Utah votes.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

The Libertarian Party, most likely led by Gary Johnson, will be ther most conservative party. A true conservative stint be able to run as a third party because it's too late to get on most states ballots.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostSo does a more traditional conservative candidate emerge as a 3rd party/independent?

I've lost all respect for him. He was never a particularly inspiring leader. It's so great he gave Utah Chaffetz and Lee.Originally posted by YOhio View PostHoly cow Huntsman is such a douche. It's like God took the major ute fan types and made one master creation. He has the upturned nose and self-importance of the rich liberal non Mormon Avenues type. He has the total lack of self-awareness and constant indignation of the ALUF. Now that he's a Trump fan he's taken on himself the heroin shooting toothless yokel racist Ute fan type. Papa must be proud.
Not a commentary on his politics, but he looks like a creeper in pictures. Something is off about him. I considered throwing my vote away last election and voting for him but his photo is unsettling.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostTime to...

Ha! I've thought the same thing. Something about his hair is off. Also, I didn't like that picture of him in jeans.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostNot a commentary on his politics, but he looks like a creeper in pictures. Something is off about him.
