Conservatism Is Not What It Used To Be

It doesn't have the votes.

You may recall that the top Republican Congress Priority was getting a Federal abortion bill passed.

There seems to have been a small hitch in their social program. They don’t have the votes.

Cruz seems to be politically astute regarding 'social' conservatism. Other than 'right to life' and federal 'core education' (Jeb's big trouble besides being a hidden full on progressive) Cruz's political positions seems to be invisible on the 'social' agenda. So, someone seems to understand that a big tent is clobbered by the full on social conservative progressive platform.

If :lol: he makes it, the Repub's will have trouble with their national platform.

Sarah Palin yesterday:

“That GOP leadership, that establishment, they’ve got to get their stuff together. I love what they believe in, I believe in it too. But they’ve got to get tough, man. You know what? It’s not just the New England Patriots who are dealing with deflated balls right now,” the former Alaska Governor told The Blaze on Thursday.

Agree with her or not, she's frequently entertaining.
