re:  "I remember when San Fran was Libertarian, . . .."

And I remember when, for those of us on the Peninsula, it was "The City," and was home to a lot of special memories, including the first night of a honeymoon.

Unfortunately, those days are gone, and, today, the closest I am willing to get, absent subpoena or kidnapping, is the airport when I visit my granddaughters.

I think you're wrong about Cruz.  I think the same implacable resistance that faces Trump will also rear its ugly head against Cruz.   My ticket du jour is Walker/Cruz, but I tend to be thoughtful about making predictions -- especially when they involve the future.

Take care,
Russ

Then you know exactly what I was talking about.
The point being, Libertarians thought everyone shared their ideals, sadly, Marxists saw an opportunity and seized upon it.

Correct to a point, however Cruz is not suffering the negatives Trump does, in fact, no POTUS ever elected did at this point of the election process.
In other words? Trump essentially has an ineluctable destiny with the private sector.

Mine would have been Cruz/West, but I trust Cruz to do the Right thing.

I could live with that.

It would leave quite a mess.  We'd need Mexicans for that one, but THEN we can deport them.

Give them all free passes to Burning man, and really burn them.....

re:  "Then you know exactly what I was talking about." -- Yeah, sadly I do.  I lived in Santa Clara, and a really, really special date involved an evening in "The City."

I think the 26th Amendment had a lot to do with the demise of SanFran.  If only Berkeley were not so close.

re:  "Cruz is not suffering the negatives Trump does" -- Not among the general populace, but the so-called "Establishment" really hates him and will stop at nothing to deny him the nomination.  Actually, they hate him more than Trump, because, unlike Trump, Cruz actually has core principles (Imagine that?) and he won't deviate from them.

My only "negative" against Cruz is the lack of true "executive experience."  That's partly why I like the Walker/Cruz ticket.

Huh?  And the amazing campaign is running to a T?  That's a very odd perspective you take.

Who is wrong?  Me or Solar?  Or both?

re:  "That's a very odd perspective you take."  --  I have, on occasion, been accused of being odd.  Often enough that I have kinda gotten used to it.

Well, thank you for the enlightenment, and, now that I am overwhelmed by enlightenment, I think that I shall do what other intelligent people in the Eastern time zone have already done.

You're welcome.

Tomorrow is a new day, and we'll work on figuring out why you give more value to one radical liberal over another radical liberal.  Make sure you have your coffee too!

re:  "Why?"

Because, as I said, I would prefer a Republican President instead of a Democrat -- especially is that Democrat were to be Hillary or Sanders or Biden.

It's as simple minded as that.

Trump is not a conservative. Screw the "moderate" Republicans who surrendered for decades to get us into this mess. Flog the trash like Boehner and McConnell. Ram a spine up the arses of half the GOP Establishment, or shoot them like diseased field mice if they don't GROW one.

The (R) means nothing. The trash-talking poseur Trump is the wrong man to lead America.

Got my coffee and work waiting.   I don't "value" either one, but I believe that, of the two, Hillary would be much more destructive to our country.  Just the issue of gun rights alone makes a big difference. 

I hope the choice does not come down to those two, but, if it does, it's an easy choice for me, and neither "staying home" nor third party is an option.
