[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're no Republican. Look at the people I listed above if you want to know what a Republican is. They tried nominating McCain and Romney, and they both lost. Your type failed. It's our turn now. There hasn't been a Far-right nominee since Reagan.  If the GOP is going to be Democrat-lite, there's no point in having it. Just have 1 party rule. [/quote]

Thanks for your input, but I am a Republican and have faithfully voted in every election (primaries and general) I have been eligible.  In fact, I have worked in politics for Rs for most of my career.

That aside, Reagan wouldn't be considered a conservative Republican by today's standards.  If you think he was you need to do a better job learning your history.  I recommend that you start with "Showdown at Gucci Gulch" which will walk you through the tax reform act of '86. And that is just one of his many positions that wouldn't pass muster today with the conservative Rs.

The Republican party has a significant demographics problem, and you can stick your head in the sand and ignore it all you want but that doesn't make the issue go away.  Cruz is NOT going to attract the minority and female voters needed to win a presidential election (remember, only a handful of states matter) and there are not enough white middle men and evangelical voters to make up the difference.  It's simple math.  [/quote]
