Rand Paul explains<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

And if the well-fed Chris Christie<\/a>, who has wisely 'suspended' his campaign, is to be believed, Nikki Haley is "going to get smoked." <\/span><\/p>\n

Going to get (Christie), and ought to get (Paul).<\/span><\/p>\n

I admire Nikki: she's "in the arena, bloodied but unbowed," slugging it out with the big boys, standing her ground, maintaining her cool. She's an inspiration to all of us, women especially. But we don't need another damned neo-con.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump's the man. If you don't support him, I pronounce you a fool. Or if not a fool, then evil. If he is defeated or kept off the ballot, and you live in Democrat-run cities, you will get what you deserve, and suffer the wages of your political 'sin.' <\/span><\/p>\n

The three claims being made about Trump are exactly the opposite of the truth. And yet there are those who say we should seek common ground with our political opponents. But these opponents, as enemies of truth, are our political enemies<\/em>.  We share no common ground with them. They are an existential threat to us, and we to them. It's a war. Face the fact and get ready.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
